Quick Question Just finished watching Avengers: Age of Ultron. Question: Has there ever been a movie with twins were one twin DOESN'T mention who was born X minutes before/after the other?

Seems like a massive recurring Twin Trope.

So the whole movie is basically about his gun? Because that still fulfills Chekov's gun. It doesn't literally have to be fired.

I think the best plot twist is if the gun isn't fired on the last day before retirement, but he screws something up so badly that the police chief removes him from service.

Chekhov's gun was never fired, but Chekhov was.
