Line 67:
* ''The Eagle Has Landed'' points out the illegality of this several times. There is a flimsy rationalisation where they wear their German paratrooper uniforms '''underneath''' Polish uniforms, and only engage in actual combat as Germans.
** It wasn't an attempt at an excuse, it was because the German CO regarded the deception as [[Dirty Business]] and was adamant that if their cover was blown "We [[Last Stand|will die]] as what we are; German paratroopers."
* In ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]'', [[Richard Burton (actor)|Richard Burton]]'s team of commandos don Nazi uniforms to infiltrate an enemy castle, purely to get [[Clint Eastwood]] running around shooting people [[media:Whereeagelesdare.jpg|in German stormtrooper garb]]. In a twist, some of the commandos are undercover Nazis, their true allegiances reflected in what they're wearing.
* ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]''. After turning the tables on and capturing their German Army interrogators, our heroes don their uniforms and escape.
* Inverted in two different way in ''[[The Dark Knight]]''. First when {{spoiler|the Joker's gang try to kill the mayor by taking the place of Police Officers in a parade}}, and then when {{spoiler|they put ''their'' masks on ''civilians'' who have their mouths taped shut and their hands taped to the fake/unloaded guns}}. The Joker acquires a {{spoiler|nurse's uniform when he goes to pay a visit to Harvey Dent.}}
Line 108:
* ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''. Secret Service agent Sawyer performs a [[Mugged for Disguise]] on one of the Fantom's [[Mooks]] and then joins them. He later saves the League from being slaughtered by the [[Mook]]'s gunfire by shooting most of them.
* In ''[[The Gumball Rally]]'', one of the entries into the race is a Dodge police cruiser with black and white paint job, and magnetic door decals for police and highway patrol logos of every state they would be crossing through.
