Ok, I saw this movie in a theater when I was pretty young. It was the same summer I saw Super Argo and Jack the Giant Killer at this theater's kids' matinee series. So for a long time I kind of mixed scenes from all these movies together.
I know it wasn't in Jack the Giant Killer because I've seen that recently enough to know better. And I don't think it's in Super Argo because they didn't use swords in Super Argo movies. I seem to remember it being a fantasy movie.
I don't remember anything about it except for one scene: Inside a castle there is a large room and the heroes have to get to the other side of the room. In their way is a large purple forearm sticking out of the floor. I mean really large like 25 feet high from elbow to fist. There is a spiked bracelette on its wrist.
The fist smashes people as they try to get by.
Ok, that's all I remember about it. Anyone have an idea of what it could be?

there is a movie called CAPTAIN SINDBAD that has a large fist that tries to drop on people. It stars Guy Williams (later Zorro and Prof. Robinson) as Sindbad and he's darn good. the effects are adequate, but the movie is fun. TCM shows it now and then.

David, you freakin ROCK! That's it! That's the one! I've been trying off and on to remember what it was from for over a DECADE! I just hadn't thought of it since being at Xenorama and once I thought about it again I figured I could count on you or someone else here to know such arcane and obscure things. Thanks man!!!

Ah CAPTAIN SINBAD. Haven't seen it in a long time, but I have fond memories of first viewing it at a Drive-In during its initial run. The stretching arm scene and evil heart being guarded in the tower made an impression on this youngster.
