I'm trying to find out more info on this movie I barely remember from when I was a kid.

Normally I wouldn't care to find out more about a movie I remember so little about. But the scene I remember was just so bizzare...

The scene:

All I remember is Richard Pryor is in a dark room with some kind of telescope. He's looking across the street into a dark apartment room where some lady is getting ready for bed. Then he sees a dark figure stalking the lady in the apartment. So he runs across the street and up to her apartment to try and help her...only to be pinned down by gaurd dogs the floor under where the girl and the attacker are. The attacker THEN proceeds to kill the lady by using this huuge drill bit to basically drill through her torso...iirc it was huge...the drill was like jackhammer sized....The last thing i remember is Richard Pryor is getting the blood of the girl dripped on him fron the floor above....(cuz the guy drilled through the girl and into the floor)

So you can see why this scene is just so bizzare. I mean it's got Richard Pryor in it BUT it doesn't seeeem to be a comedy. And the method of death and the way they portrayed the murder was just so messed up it just sticks out in my mind.

Anyone recognize the scene?
Thanks.

i don't think that was a Richard Pryor movie.
the name 'Body Double' comes to mind.. mid 80s movie.

Looked on Amazon, and they mention that in Body Double a girl is murdered with a giant drill.
But... no Richard Pryor, the main role is played by Craig Wasson.

Well...looks like it is body double. Thanks guys.

As for Richard Pryor...i'm not sure why my memory put him in the movie? maybe i saw a movie of his around the same time and i just got it all mixed up in my memory.

after reading some reviews for the movie i'm not sure i'm motivated enough to watch it again! hah!

Thanks
