Looking for an old movie (70’s?) about an assassin that used a crossbow.

I tried to google it of course but given that there is a crossbow model named Assassin and the popularity of Assassins Creed there were tons of hits to wade through. Yeah, I couldn’t find it.

Thanks.

I think we need more information here. Time and place it was set? Nationalities of the cast? Motive for and subject of the assassination?

The only '70s movie I can think of in which crossbows were used is this one:

They were used to kill guards in watchtowers.

It wasn’t a war movie. The only scene I can remember enough to describe is one where the killer killed someone in an apartment building or maybe a hotel room. I think he entered from a common hall.

It might have been from the 60’s. I seem to remember it had a feel of that time. Maybe the killer wore a black turtleneck. Maybe the movie title had month in it.

Sorry it’s not much to go on but that’s all I can remember.

Sounds more like something out of Man From UNCLE or Mission Impossible. Those were ancient TV shows before they were movies starring Tom Cruise or Armie Hammer.

The only movie that I thought about is Assassin’s Creed: Magneto.

When Eight Bells Toll ?

  • It’s easy to admit that another major pleasure of the film is in the sight of Hopkins getting into fisticuffs and gun-fights, squeeze into a wetsuit, plug a guy with a crossbow, and do all the things expected of an action hero (although he obviously needed a stuntman much more than, say, Sean Connery), whilst refusing to buff himself into a smoothly palatable screen persona.*

For Your Eyes Only?
When you say the movie is about an assassin, does that mean he is the protagonist? Or just a minor character?

I’m not sure if he was the protagonist but I don’t recall him being a minor character.

Found it!

Thanks to those who helped.

I saw it many years ago but don’t remember anything about it. Sounds like it is worth another look. I read the plot outline on Wiki and came across this:

“Tanner’s son discovers the severed head of the family dog in the refrigerator, but it turns out to be fake.”

Now I realize that movie covert agents have ridiculous amounts of resources, but a fake dog head made to order to resemble a particular dog? What? Where in the hell would they come up with something like that on short notice?
