Line 84:
** He ''does'' swing every bit as well as the monkeys in the jungle around him...
* In ''[[The Mask of Zorro|The Legend of Zorro]]'', Don Alejandro de la Vega's son, Joaquin, seems to have inherited his father's taste for social justice and swordfighting skills despite the fact that he has no idea his father is actually Zorro.
* Somewhat related instance in ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]: Resurrection'', where centuries after the third movie, scientists clone Ripley, complete with the parasite infecting her when she died. However, the [[Gone Horribly Wrong|failed clones]] make it evident that the Xenomorphs invade their hosts at a genetic level which was already [[Lego Genetics|implied in the last movie]]. Bonus points for the Xenomorphs' "[[Hand Wave|genetic memory]]" which allows Ripley to remember her past life, though she does
* ''[[Boondock Saints]]'': The brothers are extremely skilled at using firearms; but no mention is made of them having formal or informal military/firearms training. Their father is just as gun-crazy and vigilante-minded; but spent the entirety of his sons' lives in jail. It is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the second movie, when the ''[[Big Bad]]'' comes right out and states that killing runs in their blood.
** While it is never explicitly stated that the McManus brothers have had any specialized training; the first movie hints strongly that they were given some sort of training at their mother's insistence (this ''is'' explicitly stated regarding their polyglotism), as well as hinting strongly at ties to Irish Republican organizations. The second movie does invoke this trope, but it's a fairly weak example [[Fridge Brilliance|in context]].
* In ''[[Pandorum]]'', the colonists were injected with mutagens designed to make them undergo "accelerated evolution". Unfortunately it caused those who woke up first (or maybe their descendants) to become albino cannibals.
