- Fritz Lang's M and it's use of the Beggars gives an early example as one gaunt looking man in a hat uses a bag of tricks to unlock doors after pensively breathing on and rubbing his hands.

- Ocean's Eleven, old and new, had some black bag action and in the new one we even had Livingston saying "then it looks like a black bag job."

- Q branch's queries into what Bond will be using on his missions cannot not always be considered black bags but sometimes are. Try the safe hacker in On Her Majesties Secret Service, it IS a black bag job because it is carried in a case and also has a photocopier, however the ones in You Only Live Twice and Moonraker are not. The briefcase in From Russia With Love is also a good example as it contains currency, several weapons, ammo, and a bomb.
Key Ingredient: Slapstick Utilization of Weapons.
- The Rock contains some interesting shots of black bags, but we are never really hip to what's inside. These can be seen on the chemical facility raid and the Alcatraz infiltration.
Key Ingredient: Not Knowing.
Basic and ominous...watch for the black bag.
