Movie scenes where a helmet/mask/cover is pulled off to reveal someone's face?


trying to find movies with scenes like this where a mask is unwillingly pulled off to reveal someone's identity or face much to the chagrin of the character. So not voluntary like in most mission impossible scenes.

some examples:

Braveheart: William Wallace removing Robert the Bruce's helmet.
Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice - superman removes batmans mask.
Mission Impossible: Fallout - Bad guys remove Benji's fake face.
Watchmen - Rorschach's mask removed by police
Man in the iron mask films - I am assume this happens in these films, perhaps?

I figure most scenes might be from superhero flicks but any ones out of that genre would be a plus!

I came here to answer Scooby Doo but you beat me to it! That's all I can think of. Maybe that's what inspired the original post.

Probably happened in the Zoro movies. And the mission impossible movies.

Didn’t something like that happen in Batman Returns (1992)?

reply

Yes, Batman rips his mask off. They take out his eye makeup just before that shot because they realised he would look like a raccoon without the mask on.

I noticed that. Lol.
