Films where one character "assumes" the identity of another?
 

Was musing on this while watching To Live and Die in L.A. Persona and Three Women are the two titles that come to mind. Are there others?

Taking Care Of Business

Angela Baker AKA Angela Johnson AKA The Angel of Death (Pamela Springsteen) murders newbie camper Maria Nacastro (Kashina Kessler) and assumes her identity in order to bring more bloodshed to Camp New Horizons, formerly Camp Rolling Hills.

Welcome to DVDtalk :wave: Please take some time to look around at all the forums that are offered here. In particular since this thread is more about movies in general and not DVD it would be more appropriate for the Movie forum. I just wanted to explain why it was moved.

Darkman?

Mi:2?

Your name rocks! :lol:.

Lost Highway

Which reminds me...Silence of the Lambs. :)

Bad Boys (Will Smith, Martin Lawrence)

Freaky Friday

Spellbound

Star Wars Ep. IV...when Han and Luke assume the identies of stormtroopers. ;)

The Bourne Identity? ;)
Fight Club?
The Long Kiss Goodnight

There's a slick scene involving David Bowie's wife in the middle of STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY that comes to mind...

Also Star Wars-wise, there's Ep I - The Phantom Menace, in which the handmaiden played by Keira Knightley impersonated Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman). (I personally think Anakin fell for the wrong one!)

Mission Impossible movies
