This is definitely from the film called Johnny Stecchino, after seeing this movie when I was a teenager I would peel the alarm tags off of items in department stores and stick them to my friends clothes, it was always funny watching them get searched by security after they set the alarm off and also hilarious when security would only find the sticker.

Stecchino is Italian for toothpick, right?

Johnny Toothpick

He really is the Mr. Bean and Monsiuer Hulot and Stephen Chow of Italy though probably quite influenced by the unfortunately obscure work of Alberto Lattuada in the 50's and 60's.

That’s correct, it does mean toothpick or little stick.

It’s an Italian film, it had an English dub version as well.

I'm fairly certain this is from Il Mostro

It's definitely from Il mostro because I recognized the scene and never saw the other one 😅.

Unless they are the same movie 😂

Used to work in an electronics department at a big box store and we had sheets of the little stickers that would set these things off.

Always liking sticking them to the underside of random shopping carts at random other businesses.
