What film am I thinking of?

skywalker

Im thinking of a specific scene in a film and Im doing my nut trying to think what film it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Basically theres a scene where the hero has to pass a test, which consists of him putting his hand into a tree stump kind of thing with loads of holes, where a lizard monster kind of thing lives. If he puts his hand into the wrong one and it bites him he dies, if not he passes. There was someone else there who stuck their hand in and pretended to be bitten but was taking the piss.

For some reason Im thinking Dolph Lungren, but I dont think its he-man or anything. Could be way off.
Thanks.

The movie is Flash Gordon.
The scene is where some young guy has to take a test with the tree stumps
and Timothy Dalton was the baron. Classic Stuff.....

skywalker

That sounds about right, thanks sham69.

class film, and he offs a guy from blue peter in that scene as well (peter dunken? not sure but sounds right)
