Shoe Phone: Difference between revisions

 

 

''He knows that it's / all gone, / no mom, / nobody wins.''|'''[[Wall of Voodoo]]''', "Spy World"}}

 

* In ''[[Batman Returns]]'', the Penguin has a gun in his umbrella.

* Seen in ''[[Iron Man 2]]'' when Whiplash escapes from prison with the help of someone sending him plastic explosives that look like his normal cafeteria food.

* ''[[Undercover Brother]]''. The title character has two pairs of [[Tricked-Out Shoes]] and a [[Gadget Watch]].

* In ''[[Doctor Strangelove]]'', a general accuses the Russian ambassador of trying to take pictures of the [[War Room]] using a camera disguised as a pack of cigarettes. The ambassador claims that the spy camera was planted. It turns out that the ambassador was telling the truth - ''his'' spy camera was disguised as his pocketwatch (Unless you believe that the ambassador brought two hidden cameras with him).

** The heroes however ''do'' have video phones in their watches. Dr. Venture's brother JJ does him one better by hiding a phone in the collar of his shirt, allowing him to use it even if he is captured and tied up.

* Parodied in the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' episode "In Like Ed". The Eds have somehow become convinced Kevin is spying on the other kids in the neighborhood, and Edd starts preparing spy-gear, including listening devices disguised as household objects and a smoke bomb disguised as a jawbreaker. Ed finds a coathanger, and asks:

'''Ed''': Oh... mum's the word. }}

* ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' does this all the time. The boys all wear communicator watches, there are the portraits that they use to speak through and even light-up drink straws when they want to subtly attract someone's attention. Lady Penelope has a teapot communicator as well as a powder compact one. And probably many more examples this editor has forgotten.
