The way I remember it: she was in the street (on foot) - maybe chased by the bad guys driving a car. An (intentional?) collision of sorts made her crash through the shop window.

I *think* it's a British film and I wondered if the actress was Susan George but I can't find anything in her filmography that reminds me of this scene, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
I also remember that this woman wore a long, fashionable raincoat, but in case I misremember it I'm giving the wrong information.

Well, that's the impression some people got, anyway

But, no, that's not the film I'm looking for. It's a straightforward crime/thriller story without any supernatural or sci-fi stuff in it.

Anything else you can recall? If a woman was being chased by bad guys she would probably be playing a main role.
As someone already said, and it's the first thing I thought of was Blade Runner - sorry to others but I thought Blade Runner (1982) was a terrible sci-fi, too slow.
I was thinking of the Matrix but you mentioned it was not sci-fi? Possibly a different actress than the one you mentioned. How old is the movie?

She could have been a witness, someone who knew too much.

I watched it on TV in the 1980s (1981-1984) but it's possible that the film is a little bit older.

That's gonna be a tough one.

Crime/Thriller seen on TV early 80's, maybe British. Woman, long fashionable raincoat driven through the window of a shop with a car.

Any kind of plot lines or other scenes that might help? Mobster type movie, or more of a horror type? With guns or knives? Was there a single murder or multiple?
Maybe it was a made for TV movie, or was it a big screen movie?

The quote from the other message boards:
There's a scene in For Your Eyes Only where Carole Bouquet is wearing a stylish long coat, and a man on a motorcycle tries to kill her. She doesn't go through the window though; he does.
For Your Eyes Only (1981) :
