Line 59:
* In the 2002 film ''[[Big Trouble]]'', Andy Richter plays a mall security guard who claims to have a relative who works in airport security. Sure enough, Richter later shows up in an airport (this time with a mustache), working security.
** That one is straight out of the book the movie was based on, Andy Richter was a perfect touch though...
* In [[The Phantom Menace]], Queen Amidala's handmaidens all look identical. This, of course, is intentional, and part of the "decoy trick", where one of them, Sabé, posed as the Queen while the Queen dressed as one of the handmaidens in her identity as Padmé. (They have similar names too, at least in public; in addition to Sabé, the others were named Eirtaé, Rabé, Saché, Yané, Fé, and Dané; Padmé's name mentioned often make members of the royal court assume that the Queen has ''eight'' handmaidens. This Trope is lampshaded in the ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]] comic book ''In Triplicate'' with this exchange:
{{quote|'''Anakin:''' In fact, I'm pretty sure it's... Amidala's decoys Sabé and Eritaé.
'''Eirtaé:''' Actually, I'm Eritaé!
'''Sabé:''' [[Mind Screw|And I'm Sabé]]!}}
* In the course of the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' movies, Peter Parker has encountered a wrestling emcee, a snooty usher, and a French waiter who all look exactly like [[Bruce Campbell]].
** It would have been [[Fridge Brilliance]] that he was Mysterio and presumably staking out targets. It just makes Peter Parker look like a dumbass for not noticing.
Line 69 ⟶ 73:
* In ''[[Night at the Museum]] 2'' Amy Adams plays [[Acting for Two|Amelia Earhart and a woman who visits the museum at the end]]. Larry attempts to invoke [[Identical Grandson]] by asking if she was related to Earhart, but Adams responds "No, I think I just have one of those faces, you know?".
* In ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' Shaun's group, sneaking around an alleyway between houses, bumps into another group of survivors led by Shaun's ex, Yvonne. As the two groups pass, it becomes clear that each of Shaun's group has an exact counterpart in Yvonne's gang. The incident is never mentioned again. In the director's commentary, Edgar Wright calls this group the 'doppelgang'.
