Yes, I had that in mind when I was writing the post. Very funny film - the plot line gives scope for some different situations to normal - and worth looking out for.
Clone 1 makes another clone to make his life easier. Clone 2 does the same. After several iterations the “quality” is getting less - just like if you photocopy a copy, and so on.
