I've got one for you guys, I watched a movie as a kid and found it quite disturbing so I turned it off and now years later I want to give it another try. At the begininng of the movie it seems like someone is trying to film a snuff movie where he is sending a bunch of assailents at one guy who is fighting them all off and finishes one of the attackers off by sticking the hook from a crane in the guys kneck and then raising the crane. I realize this is a pretty thin description but that is the one visual that has stuck in my head all these years.

Sounds like The King of the Kickboxers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102217/)
