Well that is where our imaginations step in. :D

We can still speculate of course. I can think of a variety of different non lethal takedowns Ava could have used on Molly; neck chops, chokeout, strangle to unconsciousness or perhaps a stun gun. Or maybe just kung-fu. The possibilities are endless. ;)

Although, if Ava( and by extension her team) is CIA then she is operating without mandate or so i . As the CIA cannot operate on American soil for whatever reason (As they often like to remind us of). So perhaps she is a rogue agent and well anything goes. Who knows?

It's fun to guess. ;)

Oh shit, here we go again.
And this one makes me particularly angry. Sooo, in the Prince of Persia movie, there are two main characters, man and woman. who must infiltrate a city heavily guarded by Persian troops. At that moment, there are numerous foreign dignitaries who are entering the settlement to attend a funeral celebration and the two protagonists decide to blend in with their ranks. Cut to the next scene and we see the characters disguised as slaves of a foreign noble. The woman's "dress" is very particular and sexy :D

It would have been very interesting to see the woman attacks the slave and strip her of her (few) clothes, but I guess we'll just have to imagine it, as usual :roll:

I can't blame you Saker,

I remember watching this movie the first time. I was so hype with the build up, and then let down sooo hard. The setup were outstanding and this can be among the best USB scenes ever if it had an additional scene of an aftermatch of a knocked out couples and then turn to the main characters puting up the clothes.

In Iron Man #201 (1985), there is a potential setup and disappointment with Madame Masque. Usually, she is the victim of getting her uniform stolen, and here she has an opportunity to steal a female guard's uniform as part of a prison break. Nevertheless, she passes on the opportunity and just jumps out the window.

Another potential scene wasted by soap operas. :evil:
Two characters try to enter a hotel room. The man tries to convince a waitress with an excuse to open the door for him, failing miserably. Luckily the woman takes care of solving everything, appearing with a stolen uniform and key card. Of course, how she appropriated the uniform is off-screen :roll:

I hate it when it happens and this time, another uniform stealing scene occured in One Piece live action series.

In the first episode, Nami wants to infiltrate the Marine base. She was hanging alone in an inn, getting herself some flirting from other Marines, but she keep refuse them because they are not her size. Then she got her eyes on one funny looking guys that looks similar height to her. After a while, Zoro causes a bar fight with the Marines, Nami uses that occasion to knock out the funny looking guy, quickly drag him out of the scene and strip him for his uniform.

This scene can be perfect if it was a female Marine!

I think Netflix's One Piece live action series is a terrible failure. It doesn't bring back the characters and it's not funny enough.
Here's a lower-cost version, but I think it's more in character and humorous : https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cN4y1X7nL

There's an Australian movie from 1980 called "Touch and Go" with a missed opportunity for a USB scene.

The film centers on a group of mostly female thieves who plan to rob an island resort. They don scuba gear and make their way to the building. A young receptionist is at her desk, flipping through a magazine. She starts to scream when she sees one of the infiltrators, but the woman quickly handgags her and drags her out of sight, then ties up and gags her.

This feels like it would be an opportune moment to steal the receptionist's outfit (as a way of keeping the cover that someone is minding the desk), but it does not happen.

Here's the movie. Scene is at about 51:35.

Wow. Great scene. You are correct. It absolutely would have made a great uniform steal if one of the robbers want to impersonate her.

Kind of an interesting scene in that it looks kind of like the attacker raises her hand like she is giving the receptionist a neck chop. However, only a fw moments later when they are tying her up she is conscious. Also like the little pinch on the chin the woman gives her.

I thought I'd share an interesting variation of the trope I once saw in the volume 8 of a comic called Lanfeust of the Stars (Lanfeust des Etoiles in its native French). The group of heroes (which include two women) want to board on some sort of cruise spaceship. In order to do that, they attempt to get hired as part of the crew, but are told all positions are full...

... Therefore, the most logical course of action is obviously to mug a bunch of crew members, stash them bound and gagged somewhere, and get hired as substitutes because the ship is on schedule and can't afford to wait for stragglers. :lol:

Not really a uniform stealing in spite of the classic setup, more like a "job stealing" :lol: , but the "spaceship-flight-attendant"-girls are cute and I found the joke funny, so I thought it was worth a share.
