* Probably the most literal example is ''[[Face Off]]'', in which a policeman undergoes a special operation in which he has his face literally taken off and replaced with a crime lord's in order to infiltrate his organization... and later the crime lord manages to get the cop's face put on him to return the favor.

* The amnesiac variant is seen in the movie ''Shattered'': Tom Berenger's character wakes up after an accident with full amnesia, and later discovers he's not the person everyone thinks he is.

* ''[[Diamonds Are Forever]]''. Blofeld has two [[Mook|mooks]] undergo plastic surgery to make them look like him in order to distract [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]].

* ''[[Our Man Flint]]''. Flint kills several Z.O.W.I.E. guards and is arrested.
