Line 66:
* In one of the post-credits scenes of ''[[Austin Powers|Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me]]'', {{spoiler|Austin finds Felicity with another man - his 10 minute-younger duplicate from the moon}}.
{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Austin from 10 minutes ago}}''': Technically it's not cheating, baby.}}
* ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension]]'' quickly evolves into this situation. Buckaroo's loverwife Peggy had already died at the hands of somehis supervillainnemesis Hanoi Xan and her twin sister Penny, [[Separated at Birth]], appears for the sake of the story. Subverted in the novelization of the film, where at the very end of the book [[Sequel Hook|evidence]] is found suggesting that Penny might actually be Peggy.
* In the 1984 film of ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', the man Belle ended up marrying after leaving Scrooge looks just like his past self, possibly played by the same actor.
* In ''Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'' Sonia's boyfriend Rohit dies in an accident near the middle of the film, and when she moves to New Zealand to start anew she meets Raj, who is a bespectacled look-alike for Rohit (up to have similar career choices despite their different upbringings). Their similitude is so great that she initially rejects Raj advances because he reminds her of Rohit too much, {{Spoiler|and when Raj chases her to India he is nearly killed for some thugs who acted like he has Rohit, cluing Sonia and Raj that Rohit's death wasn't actually accidental but merely looked like it was}}.
