Help tracking down an injection/poison scene

You ever have that clip that you've run across ages ago somewhere and can't seem to find? I hope the description of the scene will help. It was a really interesting one.


The movie appears to be from the 70s. A couple is laying naked on the bed, presumably after just having sex. The man gets up to go to the shower, leaving the woman relaxing. As he's showering, a group of 3-4 people (both men and women if i recall) jump the laying woman, handgagging and holding her down as one of them takes out a huge syringe and injects the struggling woman with a drug/poison through her nose, killing her almost instantly.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks

Sam Peckinpah's swan song, 'The Osterman Weekend'. 1983.

Can't wait until Arrow Films finally get around to releasing the inevitable 4k special edition of this underrated classic.

Indeed. This movie left quite an impression on me as a teenager. It has an all-star cast, including one of my all time favorite hotnesses, Meg Foster. While certainly not Peckinpah's best work, it was spot on for the cheesy action thrillers of the early eighties - suppressed subguns spewing lead into the night... Meg Foster firing arrows... and Craig T. Nelson kicking ass as a karate expert! What's not to like about that!? :clap:

Of course, if you're a fan of Ludlum's books, this movie is very different from the original story, as is often the case. But in the end, this cheese is good cheese. :approve:

*** Note*** These caps are not poor quality. This is how it looks in the movie because they are watching the murder on a hidden camera, which, of course, is the best quality you had in the 80's. Cheers! - indie
