Paper-Thin Disguise/Film: Difference between revisions

* This trope ''gradually'' came into play for the 1972 film adaptation of ''[[Sleuth]]''. {{spoiler|The young [[Michael Caine]]'s "Inspector Doppler" disguise was genuinely convincing to audiences forty years ago, and resulted in an [[The Reveal|astonishing reveal moment]]. But to current audiences sitting down for a re-watch, the fake inspector looks uncannily like a ''present-day'' Michael Caine, so the surprise has been retroactively spoiled.}}

* Jason Vorhees (from ''[[Friday the 13th]]'' franchise, of course) may be one of the most iconic and most feared killers in slasher movie history, but he's also kind of stupid, especially in the second movie, where [[Final Girl| Ginny]] is able to convince him she's his mother, simply by wearing Ms. Vorhees' sweater. (Ginny looks ''nothing'' like his mother otherwise.) Yeah, it sinks in eventually, but given that it fools him for even a few minutes doesn't make him look all-too smart.
