You have "chekhovs gun" when there is a significant object/plot point that ends up being used. A "red herring" for when a seemingly important object/plot point does not get used.
Is there a word for a "CHEKHOVS gun" when its being used in a way totally unforeseen till rereading.
For example you expect the gun to be used to shoot someone but instead it goes in a museum?
I don't have any stories but I'm sure it occured and there is word?
