Line 81:
* Trinity in ''[[The Matrix]]'' trilogy.
* Played straight and inverted in the 2008 ''[[Get Smart (Film)|Get Smart]]'' movie. Agent 99 plays it straight through the laser field wearing a skintight dress. Max Smart then copies her moves halfway through with a near-lampshade look over his shoulder.
* In the ''[[X-Men (Film)|X-Men]]'' movies both the male and female X-Men wear the tight leather suits. The problem of mobility is pointed out in the DVD extra material by [[Hugh Jackman]] as the suits created literal [[Insurmountable Waist -Height Fence]] situations.
** Also Lady Deathstrike from the second film.
* Subverted in the Roger Moore thriller [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081809/ FFolkes], where the titular character, upon discovering the wetsuit he will be using to infiltrate the hijacked North Sea oil platform to stop terrorists from blowing it up snarks, "A wet suit in vermilion. Just what one needs at night."
Line 88:
* Averted in the Bond flick ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]'', where in the [[Final Battle]], Camille is wearing a practical outfit and tennis shoes, and even has her hair in a ponytail.
** Wai Lin in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies (Film)|Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' spent the final combat sequence in a wetsuit. Justified, it was on a ship in the middle of the ocean.
* Worn by the team during the raid on the compound and in the [[V -Formation Team Shot]] behind the closing credits in ''[[Angels Revenge]]''.
* Black Widow in ''[[Iron Man 2 (Film)|Iron Man 2]]'' wore this a couple of times in the movie. She even once changed out of her dress and into the suit in the back of a moving car.
** [[Distracted By the Sexy|The driver nearly crashed the car]].
Line 118:
* Parker in ''[[Leverage]]'' is fond of these... ''under'' street clothes or bulky harnesses that provide pockets and carabiner loops.
* In ''[[NCIS]], McGee fantasizes about Kate in a catsuit in one episode.
* Seen on [[Doctor Who (TV)|Gugu]] [[Bonekickers|Mbata-Raw]] in the [[media:undercovers_9089.jpg|promo pics]] for ''[[Undercovers]]''.
* [[Bionic Woman|Michelle]] [[Jekyll|Ryan]] wore one as [[Doctor Who (TV)|Lady Christina De Souza]] in ''The Planet of the Dead''
** And Wendy Padbury, as Zoe Heriot in the Second Doctor's era, wore a sparkly catsuit.
** And Jean Marsh, as Sara Kingdom in the First Doctor era, wore an Emma Peel-style catsuit. Unlike Zoe and Christina, her character was actually a bona fide spy, or at least an agent of a paramilitary organization.
Line 189:
* Kestrel dons a black vinyl catsuit...in her fantasy in the toy store in an early ''[[Queen of Wands (Webcomic)|Queen of Wands]]'' strip.
* Thae of ''[[Overlord Academy]]'' is wearing one of these in her first appearance.
* In ''[[Tales Of Gnosis College]]'', Ashley Madder wears one of these (explicitly modeled on the ''maillot de soie'' worn by Irma Vep in [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Vampires:Les Vampires|''Les Vampires'']]) to infiltrate Professor Corwin's laboratory.
* ''[[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Axe Cop]]'' wears a cat suit on night missions... [http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_67 To actually pretend being a cat].
