History Film / GeminiMan

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The trailers show that Junior has trouble killing Henry, because Henry knows every move Junior will make before he does.

* DigitalDeaging: The trailers show that Smith also 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]]

* IronicEcho: A mook holds Dani at gunpoint and informs her that she can either tell him where Henry is right now, or in five minutes minus her teeth. Dani beats him up, holds him at gunpoint, and informs him that he can either tell her who sent him right now, or in five minutes minus his teeth.

--> '''Clay:''' You should be flattered.
--> '''Henry:''' You should be dead.

* MsFanservice: When Junior has Dani strip down to her underwear, the viewers get more than a few shots of Winstead in just a lacy bra.
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Henry explains he didn’t have to think about making sure Dani was safe as soon as the government began targeting him and his associates. Although a bit defied when you consider he was generous enough to ''think'' about contacting Marino and making sure he got as far away as possible before someone is sent to kill him before getting to Dani. [[spoiler:Not that it helps Marino, but points for trying.]]
* OutGambitted: Junior sets up a death trap for Henry in the catacombs of Budapest. He strip searches Dani for a wire, then ties her to a post as bait. He also sets a tripwire with a grenade, disables the lights and uses night vision goggles. [[spoiler:However, Henry comes in knowing the whole plan and busting it. It turns out Dani was wearing a special wire that slipped through Junior's search, and she was "narrating" Junior's plan by commenting on everything he does.]]

* Main/SceneryCensor: When Dani is forced to get through a strip search, convenient walls and a fountain hide her from the waist down. We still get plenty of chance to look at her bra, abs and back.

This is Ang Lee's second film after ''Film/BillyLynnsLongHalftimeWalk'' to be filmed in 4K 3D at 120 fps, and further pushes the technological envelope by having Junior being [[https://www.inverse.com/article/58444-gemini-man-movie-will-smith-junior-cgi-technology-explained rendered as a fully digital character based on Will Smith's onset performance]] as opposed to traditional DigitalDeaging.

The film was released on October 11, 2019.

* CastingGag: The Japanese dub is one of the few dubs when both Henry and Junior are voiced by different actors, and for a good reason in this case: Both Creator/MasashiEbara (Henry) and Creator/KoichiYamadera (Junior) had dubbed Creator/WillSmith in many of his films in Japan. This is invoked in a very funny way when one of the alternative posters used in the Japanese version replaced Smith as both characters [[https://www.fukikaeru.com/?p=12571 with both Yamadera and Ebara in his place instead.]]

* InsultBackfire: In the second trailer, Henry asks why Clay didn't just [[CloneArmy create a whole]] [[MesACrowd army of Juniors]], Clay's response is a simple "Why not?".
* KillingYourAlternateSelf: The trailers show Junior confronting his creator about the fact that said creator made a conscious choice to send Junior to kill Henry.

* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: In one of the trailers, Henry wonders why someone with the capability to clone people doesn't clone someone like Nelson Mandela, only for Dani to reply that Nelson Mandela couldn't kill a man in a moving train from 2 kilometers away.

* IHatePastMe: Whenever Henry looks at Junior, he sees "every trigger [he] ever pulled."

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Played with when Henry gives one to Junior regarding his character flaws, as they're all flaws he himself had to deal with.

* 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.

* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: In one of the trailers, Henry wonders why someone with the capability to clone people doesn't clone someone like Nelson Mandela, only for Dani to reply that Nelson Mandela couldn't kill a man in a moving train from 2 miles away.

The film is scheduled to be released on October 11, 2019.

%%* BecauseImGoodAtIt: The reason that Henry's agency sent a clone instead of another hitman? Henry's the best hitman they ever had, so they needed someone to match that prowess.

%%* FunnyMoments: When Junior has Danny as a hostage he keeps referring to her as "ma'am." When she asks why he deadpans, "I was taught to respect my elders." The look on her face afterwards is nothing short of hilarious.

%%* IHatePastMe: Whenever Henry looks at Junior, he sees "every trigger [he] ever pulled."

%%* RetiredBadass: Henry ''tries'' to become this, but his agency won't let him.

* DeceptiveLegacy: Junior was told that Clay, mentor and FatherFigure, adopted him because his birth parents "dumped him at a fire station". Junior grew up believing he was an orphan until he finds out he's a clone.

* MsFanservice: When Junior has Danny strip down to her underwear, the viewers get more than a few shots of Creator/MaryElizabethWinstead in just a lacy bra.
