Looking for a horror(?) movie from a single scene.

I am looking for a movie and I only have a little bit of description to go off of - a single scene. The villain and hero were fighting on the top of a cliff and the hero managed to cut off the villain's hand, and thought he had the upper hand - and the villain erupted some sort of skeletal claw with a pincer from the stump of his arm and started closing in with a maniacal grin on his face. It was a live action movie and may have had a western-ish setting. It is also at least 15-20 years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.109.212 (talk) 07:50, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This page at TV Tropes may lead you interesting places. --Jayron 32 12:51, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but that seems to be more about severed hands coming to life than about other things growing from the stump. I couldn't find the film on that page.68.186.109.212 (talk) 07:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen Wild Wild West in eons, don't remember a sword in the scene I'm thinking about, it seems unbelievably high tech for the setting and no one's said that was the film despite it being a fairly unobscure movie but the end does has a melee fight with a prosthetic henchman (metal skull armor, metal groin armor). You don't remember a villain in a wheelchair by any chance? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 22:24, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who was the actor, i think he was good. Is his small part long enough for spporting actor nominations?144.35.114.215 (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's no minimum length for an Oscar nomination - Beatrice Straight won Best Supporting Actress for Network for just five minutes of screentime (4% of the film) and Hermione Baddeley was nominated for a 2 min 19 sec part in Room at the Top. Anyway, according to this, he was played by Michael Cyril Creighton and his character was called "Jake". Smurrayinchester 09:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC
