Title: They Stole Their Clothes! Post by: Mr. DS on December 21, 2010, 07:34:26 PM While watching the Wizard Of Oz the other night (particularly the scene where the Lion/Scarecrow/Tinman steal the Witchs guard's uniforms) how many times people in movies steal someone else's clothing to fit into a place they are trying to infiltrate. I particularly like in Austin Powers where they parody this having a really tall/fat person go into a bathroom and minutes later Austin/Vanessa come out and the clothes fit to a tee.
How many can we list? Title: Re: They Stole Their Clothes! Post by: retrorussell on December 21, 2010, 10:36:08 PM Indiana Jones stealing a Nazi uniform (that doesn't fit too well) from a soldier in the first movie.
Title: Re: They Stole Their Clothes! Post by: Jack on December 22, 2010, 08:06:39 AM Midnight Express - a guy is put in a Turkish insane asylum, and at the end he kills a guard, puts on his uniform and walks out of the place. It was kind of believable as it was dimly lit and the other guard only glanced at him. If my memories from ten years ago are correct :teddyr:

Most of these are from films, though some were made for TV. Those are noted by (TV.) All That (TV) One of the few female-male ones I've seen. Barry Lyndon Captain Horatio Hornblower, RN (This has nothing to do with the topic, but look for Chris Lee sans fangs in the film) Christmas Star (TV) Con Air Conan the Barbarian Dark Passage Droopy's Good Deed Enemy of the State The Hitchhiker Judge Dredd A Low Down Dirty Shame Perils of Gwendoline (Pretending to be a woman does not work if you are well endowed) Rushin' Ballet Shoot to Kill Summertime Switch (TV) Thief of Baghdad (1961) The Vanishing American You're Never Too Young More than I expected, when I first started compiling this list. Title: Re: They Stole Their Clothes! Post by: AndyC on January 05, 2011, 01:44:34 PM Strange Brew. Kind of different, in that the villains stole the heroes' clothes in order to frame them. Max Von Sydow dressed as Doug McKenzie is a sight to behold.
When I saw the title of this thread, this scene was the first thing I thought of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97NyQI9XlFU "Somebody horked our clothes!" :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: They Stole Their Clothes!
