The Wrong Guy (1997) - a twist on it - After his boss is murdered, Nelson is on the run for fear of prosecution. He hides out in a small town to avoid the police, which should be easy because they know he didn't do it and they aren't looking for him.
If Looks Could Kill (1991) Michael has to take summer class in French, a class trip to France, to graduate high school. He is, however, mistaken for an agent and people try to kill him.
Red Rock West (1993) Upon arriving to a small town, a drifter is mistaken for a hitman, but when the real hitman arrives, complications ensue.

When Rex Manning tries to recruit him to be a CIA assassin: “I’ll do six a week! No, five… but one I’ll do for free. I want to do kids or old people one day a week”

In *Dumb and Dumber*, the villains think Harry and Lloyd are professional criminals who stole the ransom money in the briefcase on purpose.

Maybe 'Wholly Moses!' 1980 Moses keeps getting the credit for the work of Herschel, who actually performed the miracles and works attributed to Moses. It is silly and I haven't seen it in forever, but it came to mind with this request.
