  • How did Troy even get Archer's face? He's one guy. As I remember it, he wakes up, the medical and police team has an Oh Crap moment and next thing we know he's got Archer's face. He's one guy. They would have had to sedate him to put the other face on. Troy has no resources there, and he's just a regular human, why didn't anyone just strap him down again while he was sedated?
    • He wasn't one man. He'd called in his friends. They're the ones that actually haul the medical and police team in. You're misremembering how the movie went.
  • This continuously bugs me: after the switch is made, Castor Archer goes home to the "lonely wife," Eve Archer. It is implied through foreplay and dialogue that the two did sleep together physically in the same bed and have sex. Wouldn't Eve known something was immediately wrong by reasoning that Archer did not..."feel" the same way as she would expect?
    • Perhaps she would, but it's not like one night of different sex would make her immediately suspect her "husband" was actually Castor Troy in a freak surgical disguise. Plus, Archer's diary stated they hadn't been getting it on much recently, so she may just chalk it up to remembering poorly.
