How about _Deathstalker_?  This is a really *bad* movie.  

Plot:  Muscular hero tires of the "willing wenches" [so say the ads] of 
everyday life, so he ventures out to get the three parts of something or
other:  The Sword, The Chalice (I think), and The Third Thing, which I
can't remember (probably the new Kate Bush album).  Anyway, he runs into
the evil emperor, who's holding a contest for all the warriors in the
land (supposedly to decide who will take over the throne, but actually
just so all the warriors will kill each other and not threaten the emperor).

Blah blah blah Barbie Benton blah blah blah (I mean *bad*).

There's only one "good" scene:  A pig-faced warrior is beating on some other
sucker with his fist.  He hurts his fist on the other guy's face, so he
looks around for something else to hit him with.  Seeing no obvious weapons,
he proceeds to rip the right arm off of an innocent bystander, and whacks 
on his opponent with the arm.

OK, OK, so I'm streching the definition of "good."

And during some of the fight scenes in the forest, you couldn't even make
out who was doing what to whom because the lighting was (as Leonard Pinth
Garnell would say) "putrid."
