I vaguely remember this movie in which a guy gets brought into an underground pit fighting ring (undercover cop?). I recall all sorts of weapons being used in the fights, in particular one guy with long blonde hair getting beheaded with a sword. The scene in which his head is hoisted up still sticks in mind but I havent for the life of me been able to place it.
Anyone have an idea?
my best guess is Escape from New York with Kurt Russell at one point he has to fight this guy in an underground arena with spiky clubs
possibly BLOOD OF HEROS (1989) aka SALUTE OF THE JUGGER-and yes-they put the losers heads on poles.
