Top 10 Best Movie Disguises


take notes if you wish to become a
master of disguise I don’t have to say
anymore mr. feller
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
best disguises in movies for male in
Santa Claus every car has their own big
television and wait room
it really is renderable to be a pre cop
for this list we’re taking a look at the
most convincing and memorable disguises
that characters in film have used to
conceal their identities great that’s
great
where don’t want to get it ah we’ve
excluded simple masks you know like the
cheap kind that you might pick up at any
store and where to rob a bank because
all they usually get the job done there
really isn’t much creativity to them I
believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply
makes humor stranger number 10 two-faced
face off all ask the easy part there’s a
real science
if the faceoff machine actually existed
in real life identity theft would be
even more common than it already is
this is a state of the art more for
genetic template the inside is modeled
on your skull the outside exactly like
trucks then we fit his face on top not a
replica but the real thing it it also
make it much easier for the FBI to go
undercover and that’s just what John
Travolta’s Sean Archer does when he dons
the face of Nicolas Cage’s castor Troy
Sean Archer here who’s calling
well if you’re Sean Archer I guess I’m
caster drunk this backfires on Archer
however as Troy seizes his face in an
action-packed case of mistaken identity
ensues I’d like to take his his face Oh
both actors do a highly entertaining job
impersonating each other as they go
head-to-head in cinemas most matic case
of overacting and then somehow caster
came out of his uh his coma and killed
everybody who knew about the mission but
but not before transforming into me
number nine Polyjuice potion Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Wow
where are they to this transformative
potion is one of the niftiest
concoctions in the Wizarding World of
Harry Potter fancy this you are not you
so shudder to the strip all right a
voyage throughout the series
it helps Harry his friends and his
enemies access numerous heavily secured
locations and slip past foes undetected
for example when especially ambitious
Death Eater used it for practically an
entire school year to impersonate
mad-eye Moody
however we think Polyjuice potion is
most effectively utilized in the first
deathly hallows chapter as six of
Harry’s closest allies assumed his
appearance to act as decoys and evade
the Death Eaters
it’s an out-of-body experience for
everyone
although Fred and George already know
what it feels like to look identical the
whole wide world
a related humor and you go for I’m holy
that’s pathetic
reckon I’m still better look in the new
number eight mr. Stefano Lemony
Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events
Count Olaf huh I know I would yeah why
would you say something like that
a series of unfortunate events
deservingly took home a best makeup
Academy Award for transforming Jim
Carrey into the eccentrically devious
Count Olaf I must say you’re a gloomy
looking Bunch
why so glum our parents just died what’s
just as impressive however are all the
disguises Count Olaf Don’s to get closer
to the Baudelaire children’s fortune his
most entertaining character is Stefano a
big nosed Italian who at times seems to
be channeling Jeff Goldblum
I am Mastiff ah no I have an Italian man
and I am here to assist him in his
research as best I can as well as to
facilitate and remain Observatory his
disguise naturally deceives all the
clueless adults but those quick-witted
Baudelaire see right through the facade
you’re Olaf and we’re not letting you in
if only somebody else would listen to
them anyway that’s why you should never
run with one of these kids
words of wisdom indeed mr. Stu Phelps
you caught me being a mentor number
seven Scarlett Johansson under the skin
are you guys alright thank you
if you’re an alien who lands on earth
and decide to start abducting random men
off the streets Scarlett Johansson is
the ideal woman to model your disguise
after t100
I went up with her face and figure any
guy will gladly get into your van with
no questions asked under the skin is all
about showing rather than telling the
snow Hansons almost entirely physical
performance carries a majority of the
film
she’s transcendent as a being searching
for a personal identity sexual identity
and identity in general as she explores
her new body
you
number six improv disguise Sherlock
Holmes Holmes what are you doing nothing
are you wearing a false nose huh tell me
that that was at home being the greatest
detective who ever lived Sherlock Holmes
is also a master of disguise he can be
sitting right in front of you and still
be invisible to the naked eye always
thinking on his feet he doesn’t need to
plan ahead he can devise a first-rate
costume on the spot
his camouflage and improvisational
skills are best demonstrated in this
2009 interpretation as he throws
together several random accessories to
pursue Irene Adler he makes blending
into his environment
look Elementary to say the least number
five Ethan hunts face mission impossible
– is he alive yeah
bring him to me no matter how many times
that mask trick fakes us out in the
Mission Impossible movies it always
takes us by surprise
the cleverest utilization of the mask
stunt is arguably in the first Mission
Impossible sequel as Ethan Hunt gives
his enemies the slip by disguising a
very unfortunate guard with his face by
the time the villains realize this the
real Ethan is already making his escape
between this and faceoff director John
Woo certainly has a thing for identity
swapping not to mention epic choirs
number four rice farmer Tropic Thunder
twin Jeanne voila – smell my man your
worry
wait Zuma denied janae disease in Tropic
Thunder Robert Downey jr. plays Kirk
Lazarus a blond-haired blue-eyed
Australian actor playing an
african-american sergeant who later
impersonates a Vietnamese farmer to
infiltrate a base now we go wow oh shit
sound up Jerry
ok yeah ha ha ha
so basically he’s a dude playing a dude
disguised as another dude class don’t
let him take me off the Yak as a gifted
method actor Lazarus is able to ad-lib a
character to distract the enemy soldiers
sure watch out
the more he rambles on however the more
mixed-up he becomes with the small
details who sure what shoe no
electrolyte time eventually they catch
on to his ruse and the award-winning
actor finds himself starring in a
critical bomb for once is your Bob
American
here’s my mother
number three sergeant Jim Pembry face
the silence of the lens at the lam stop
screaming dr. Lecter
although Hannibal Lecter is incarcerated
throughout much of the Silence of the
Lambs you know that he’s just waiting to
fly fly fly away you fly back to school
now little Starling after several
earlier scenes of tense bilder dr.
Lecter is given a window of opportunity
and demonstrates just how cunningly
sadistic he is executing his escape plan
he fools the authorities in the most
horrifying and disgusting way imaginable
by stripping off a cop’s face and
wearing it as his own ready when you are
such a family by the time the police
realized the swap the theatrical serial
killer is already free final signs are
good pressures 130 over 90 90 yeah
that’s right 90
got him on lactated ringers running and
and the patient is on ten liters number
two
mrs. euphegenia doubtfire mrs. doubtfire
nervous my first day is a woman getting
hot flashes it isn’t easy for a man to
pass himself off as a woman especially
if it’s his ex wife and three children
he’s trying to fool so sad because
marriage can be such a bitch so can
divorce if anybody can pull off such a
deception though it’s Robin Williams
being a master of voices I do voices
Williams can pull off a female English
accent with ease however it’s the whole
mrs. Doubtfire ah Samba that completes
the illusion oh I’m sorry to frighten
you again I must look like a Yeti in
this getup elevated by oscar-winning
makeup effects we completely forget that
it’s Williams under this disguise well
except for when he occasionally breaks
character before we unveil our number
one pick here are a few honorable
mentions
look George they’re moving off
you see mr. furrow some luck at last
ah is that letter two weeks excuse me
two weeks two weeks we hear you’ve am
clear
listen matil I’ve been thinking a lot
about that bulimia thing and I want you
to know I understand where you’re coming
from
that’s right
number one Dorothy Michaels tutsi no one
will hire you oh yeah
while Robin Williams was completely
uncanny as a woman Dustin Hoffman may
have been even better as Tutsi my name
is Dorothy
it’s that turn co2 x4 sweetie oh honey
oh damn oh Christ
no just Darcy as an actor who can’t find
work because of his hard to work with
reputation Michael Dorsey is forced to
reinvent himself as Dorothy Michaels
this premise has been done to death
since but one of the reasons Tootsie
remains a comedy classic is because
Hoffman is so utterly convincing as both
these characters what about this thing
no no I don’t know the right shoes for
it I hate the way the horizontal lines
make me look too hippy and it cuts me
across the bust Hoffman could approach
any random person in this getup and
they’d be thrown for a loop you are
psychotic no I’m not I’m employed I got
the whole look I’m a funny you just
don’t get close to me it’s a great
performance complimented by a most
perfect disguise again the end I’m the
one that’s exploited bull shit Ron you
