* HadToBeSharp: Vincent feels despondent after Dr. Traven tells him he is "genetic trash" because they gave all the good genes to Julius. His long-lost brother manages to raise his spirits by pointing out that it's not a fair comparison: Julius had all the advantages in life, not just with his genes, but also being raised in an island commune by a group of scientists who always supported him and gave him everything he needed to succeed. Meanwhile, Vincent was dropped off at an orphanage and was never given anything and had to fight for everything he has. Julius admits that Vincent is not just his brother, but a role model to him.

Julius and Vincent Benedict are fraternal twins; the results of a secret experiment carried out at a genetics laboratory to produce the perfect child, using sperm donated by six different fathers. The mother was told that the children died at birth, while the children were informed once old enough that their mother died in childbirth. The program was a success but was shut down, due to one twin inheriting the "desirable traits", and the other being the "genetic trash": Julius is strong, handsome, kind and intelligent, while Vincent is, well, [[TypeCasting Danny [=DeVito=]]].

Doppelgänger refers to people who look identically or at least similar enough to be confused with the other. The entire comedic premise of the movie rests on the fact that they are twins who are complete opposites visually, so referring to them as doppelgängers was likely due to a misunderstanding of the term.
