Ok, I don't really remember much about this particular film so I'll do my best describing what I do remember. The film is a late 80s or early 90s fantasy film that involved martial arts. It had a futuristic feel to it but I remember the main character resembling more of a Highlander look. If I remember correctly the lead had long hair and wore a head band a la Rambo Part II. The one thing that really sticks out in my mind was this special punch or hit to the chest that when performed caused the recipient's head to begin to swell. There seemed to be a constant back and forth battle between the "hero" and main bad guy. Again, I don't remember much as I was pretty young (somewhere between 10-12 I'm guessing) and it was something I came across late at night on Cinemax, HBO, or Showtime. The name of this film has been bugging me for quite some time now and this is my last resort in finding this flick. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Wild guess,.

Sounds like a special killing move used by the
Hero Ken in the anime Fist of the North Star
There was a live action movie made the mid 90's
