Wig, Dress, Accent: Difference between revisions

* There are quite a few examples in ''[[Tintin]]'', particularly the Thompson twins, who fail utterly. Tintin is also known to do it a fair bit, and several villains have tried to pull beards off certain men of short stature who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time—needless to say, Tintin shows up on the next page having hidden in a large Chinese vase or having been disguised as a black waiter. In another story, Tintin and the Captain don burqas in Arabia in order to get out of the city where there is a bounty on their head—Snowy is carried in a vase on the Captain's head. Of course, the alarm is raised when a real Arabian woman tries to speak with them.

 

* In the ''[[Charlie's Angels]]'' movie, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are disguised as men in one scene. Maybe it was Lucy Liu in her dominatrix outfit who distracted everyone.

* The whole premise of the Wayans brothers' ''[[White Chicks]]''.

* Subverted in ''[[To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar]]''. When the three drag queens are stranded in a Midwestern hick town, it seems that the townsfolk don't know the true sex of the "career girls". However, it's revealed at the end that they knew for awhile and simply didn't care.

* In [[Scooby-Doo (film)|the first ''Scooby-Doo'' live-action movie]], dogs aren't allowed on the plane, so Shaggy brings his grandma...

* Used in ''[[12 Monkeys]]'' {{spoiler|at the end, the protagonists use store bought disguises (a glued on mustache for the man and a blonde wig for the woman) to get through airport security and escape to Florida.}}
