Line 15:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Dr. Merrick and the original Tom Lincoln.
* [[Aesoptinum]]
* [[Brick Joke]]: Dr. Merrick injects microprobes into Lincoln near the beginning of the film, and says that he will pass them through his urine. Later Lincoln is seen standing in front of of a urinal, groaning.
** While you can hear something going CLINK CLINK CLINK in the Urinal.
* [[City in a Bottle]]
Line 23:
* [[Cool Car]]: Lincoln's "real" self designs them as well as boats, which his clone dreams about and are our first clue that something's up.
* [[Evil Brit]]: Dr. Merrick -- he's played by [[Sean Bean]], so of course.
* [[Expendable Clone]]
* [[Eye Scream]]: Lincoln is injected with microprobes near the beginning of the film, which enter via the eye sockets.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Lincoln and Jordan after escaping, they have no concept of how ''anything'' in the real world works.
* [[Genetic Memory]]: How Lincoln can drive all the cool vehicles in the movie, and mimic Tom Lincoln's Scottish accent with impeccable accuracy.
* [[Let's Meet the Meat]]: Quoted with amusing and unnerving effect by Buscemi's character ''"Well just because you like the hamburger does not mean you want to meet the cow."''
* [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot]]- Lincoln uses crowbars and hand-to-hand combat to fight while Jordan uses guns. [[Chickification|Even though she was shown to be superior at the]] [[Chekhov's Skill|combat simulator.]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: All the workers in the compound refer to the clones as "products", and think about them this way as well, leading to some heartless exchanges like this one:
{{quote|'''Doctor''': You mean you want to destroy $2 million worth of product?
Line 39:
* [[No Sex Allowed]]: Inside the community of clones. {{spoiler|Subverted in the outside world...}}
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Averted, as part of a Brick Joke.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When it is discovered that the dead Lincoln is {{spoiler|the original Tom Lincoln and not the clone}}.
* [[People Farms]]
* [[Product Placement]]: Probably one of the most blatant examples in movie history: why are there ads for KFC and Microsoft in a closed society filled with penniless clones?
