So this was either a super hero movie or some kind of short from the 1980’s. I saw this on TV or video in July of 1987 if that helps with the time frame. This single mother is getting physically abused by her boyfriend and she tries to hide it from her yer young son. One night the boyfriend slaps the mother in front of her son. The boyfriend then attacks both of them. Suddenly, this super hero comes in and either kills or severely injurs the boyfriend. Does this sound familiar?
“Hero at Large”(1980)?

Thanks for replying, but I don’t thin that’s it. This was not a comedy at all. And part of it dealt with a single mother, and later her young son, that were being physically abused by her boy friend.
Could it be The Twilight Zone episode Azoth the barbarian is a friend of mine?

Thanks, and I actually saw that Twilight Zone, and it does have a similar plot line. However, I saw this in 1987, and this Twilight Zone episode was in 2002.
this reminds me of the tv series taken, which was about aliens, something similar happens in one episode and is set in the past also
