I was wondering if anyone recognized this film or television show. It was clearly filmed in the ’80s. In the scene, a woman’s purse is nabbed by two men, who proceed to take it into an elevator while making their escape. When they open the purse, it proves to be full of bees, which sting the men. I believe one man drops over dead, while the other runs out of the elevator and into the streets, getting hit by a car. Can anyone guess where this is from?
Joshua,
Jeff Nelson on Facebook suggested THE BEES from 1978 and it looks like he is correct!
Here is a review from bmovisemaniacs…

“Cut to Sandra in the elevator in John Norman’s (John Saxon) California apartment building. Two muggers attack Sandra in the elevator and immediately open her cosmetic bag. Standard behavior so far. Sandra, a natural beauty has no need for make-up so in her bag she carries bees. The killer bees run amok and kill the muggers.â€
and here is the scene:
Looks like they made a beeline for the exit.
It should be noted that Vinegar Syndrome is planning to give The Bees its first DVD release soon (plus a DVD/BD release for Alberto Zacharias’ other horror mess-terpiece, Demonoid: Messenger of Death).
I mean, Alfredo Zacharias. Dang.
This is Joshua K and I want to say thanks everyone for helping solve this mystery. It was totally the Bees!
