Archer is hilarity on wheels. I have never heard of this called “Checkov’s gun…” in fact learned the idea from Bobby… but it’s a great point. More here for the uninformed.

There’s probably a few checkovs in scriptures too…

My personal favorite “gun over the mantel” is the double-barrel on the wall at The Winchester pub in Shaun of the Dead (2004).
As LDS scripture placement in cinema goes, my personal favorite is either the the quadruple combination on the table of the witches lair in Troll 2 (1990), or Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Final Sacrifice (1990), where we find Troy McGreggor, (played handsomely by Christian Malcolm) ‘settling into the Book of Mormon.”
