There is also a "walking on water scene" in the wonderful (IMO) Peter
Sellers movie "Being There". The final scene has his character, Chauncy
Gardener, walk out onto a lake. Half way across, he stops to prod at
something beneath the surface with his umbrella. To my mind, he is also
poking fun at the illusion!

You can "walk on water." I know how it is done. In some older movies,
like "The Adventures of Remo Williams", the old Chinese guy runs across
the water but you can plainly see there are stone tablets underneath his
feet. In a recent movie, [I forgot the name!!!!], a man and his female
partner come to a seemingly innocent rectangular pool of water on a
mansion's grounds. The man walks forward onto the the pool of water and
the female says something like, "Is this magic?" The man is "walking on
water." Actually, the water level is very thin and the bottom of the
pool is pure black.
The walking on water feat is an illusion.
