    Please can someone tell me the title of a film concerning a jewel robbery from a foreign museum where the criminal sprays the museum floor with grease before firing a crossbow and hauling himself across the floor, missing the infra-red rays, to steal the jewel.

    It is nearly sending me mad trying to remember.

    Many thanks anyone who can help.

    It's been a while since I've seenit but the first thing that came to mind was The Score with de Niro and Edward Norton. Might be mixing it up but I know I've seen that scene.

    Wasn't Entrapment with Sean Connery/Catherine Zeta Jones was it?

    Lots of lasers on the poster which kinda implies it's a central part of the film

    It's the start of The Return Of The Pink Panther The grease sprayed on the floor is mainly to give Clouseau the opportunity to later do a semi -pratfall and enquire if the "wex as been examined"

    Some years ago I saw a film about a jewel robbery where the criminal sprayed the entrance floor with grease, then, using a crossbow fired an arrow with a cable attached to the opposite wall and hauled himself across the entrance under the infra-red rays.

    A marvelous film that I would like to rent or buy; so, please, will some one tell me the title, for I am nearly going bald trying to remember. And age has defeated me! AS an ex-projectionist I may well have shown it in the days when we had marvelous cinemas with stages and limes and all the equipment I loved playing with. And I was paid for it.

    Many thanks to everyone in advance.

    You asked this question a couple of days ago and received several answers. I have merged the two threads together.
