History Film / GeminiMan

* AbusiveParents: Clay raised Junior and acted like his adopted father. However, he lied to him about his origins, and manipulated Junior to turn into a killer later. Junior is distraught at finding this out.

* CloningBlues: Junior has a really hard time coping with the fact that he is a clone once he finds out.

It is not related in any way to [[Series/GeminiMan the short-lived television series.]] Nor is it to be confused with the ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' Robot Master.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Clay gives Junior a WhatTheHellHero for giving up this advantage during his first attempt to kill Henry.

* WeaponizedWeakness: An instance that can also be a case of WeaksauceWeakness, as Henry is highly allergic to bee stings, something Junior exploits in a later scene by darting him with bee stinger venom. [[spoiler:Fortunately he only wants to prove beyond doubt that Henry really is his clone.]]

* WeaponizedWeakness: An instance that can also be a case of RealityEnsues, as Henry is highly allergic to bee stings, something Junior exploits in a later scene by darting him with bee stinger venom. [[spoiler:Fortunately he only wants to prove beyond doubt that Henry really is his clone.]]

* ImmuneToBullets: The [=GEMINI=] EliteMooks wear heavy body armor, though Henry and Dani are able to take them out fairly swiftly; Henry states that he and Dani should aim at the gaps in the armor such as the joints and neck, but at some points he just shoots through said armor such as when he scores two headshots with his last bullet. Played more straight with [[spoiler: the SuperSoldier at the end, who shrugs off multiple assault rifle shots to the head, chest, and limbs without any detrimental effect, due to a combination of advanced body armor and not feeling pain.]]

* AbusiveParents: Clay raised Junior and acted like his adopted father. However, he lied to him about his origins, and manipulated Junior to turn into a killer later. Junior is distraguth at finding this out.

* ExpendableClone: Despite pretending otherwise to Junior, Clay clearly views him along with clones in general as merely tools used instead of regular people who needn't be cared about. He even wants to replace ''all'' US soldiers with clones modified so as not to feel fear or pain, because no one need care about them.

* ClonesArePeopleToo: Junior would rather not be used as an expendable RedshirtArmy.

* KillingYourAlternateSelf: Junior confronts his creator about the fact that said creator made a conscious choice to send Junior to kill Henry.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Goes both ways. Henry is completely thrown by Junior's skills and abilities (even without the handicap of not wanting to kill him), and is constantly on the defensive in their fight. At the same time, a rattled Junior tells Clay he failed to kill Henry because Henry knew every move Junior would make before he did.
* AspectRatioSwitch: happens only once. In the first scene, the aspect ratio gets shorter for a close-up of a train speeding by.
* BaitAndSwitch: On finding a TrackingDevice in his boat, Henry confronts Dani who's a recent employee at the boat harbor. He seems to be being paranoid and offers to make it up to her by buying her a drink, only to confront her later with her DIA file.

* ClonesArePeopleToo: And would rather not be used as an expendable RedshirtArmy.

* DigitalDeaging: Smith plays Junior through special effects that make him look younger. [[note]]The mechanics represent a new approach to this. As stated above, with Junior being largely a [[SerkisFolk motion-capture based CGI performance]] as opposed to mapping out wrinkles.[[/note]]

* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Junior gets shot in the shoulder in Hungary, Henry & Co hope on a jet back to the United States, yet Junior somehow has time to return to the US and confront Varris, then be waiting [[OnlyAFleshWound uninjured]] on the ground when the jet arrives in the United States.
