I was watching this when I was a wee kid, somewhere in the '80s, but it was probably a lot older. I think it was an adventure/comedy for kids. I remember it in black and white, but maybe the TV was black and white. It was fantasy (people were wielding swords and wearing cloaks and stuff), but maybe it had sci-fi elements. The good guy had blonde, curly hair, a leather vest and possibly a goofy sidekick. The villain had straight and black hair, was dressed in black including a cloak, and had a lot of minions.
I remember absolutely nothing about the plot (or character names, actors, etc). Basically, I remember only two scenes:
1) An arm-wrestling contest in a tavern/disreputable den. On the table, there were two holes left and right - instead of candles. From these holes, something like a komodo dragon would spring up and lash out its tongue, and if a contestant was stung, he would yell in pain and fall unconscious on the spot. And lose, obviously.
2) One of the minions of the main villain had done something wrong (he probably let the good guys escape), and the villain was about to punish him. He asked him which hand was his sword hand, ordered him to raise it, and unsheathed his sword as if he would chop it off. The guy complied, the villain studied him for a moment, and then he said "you are stupid, but not a coward" and let him go.
I understand that's very little to go on, but it's all I have. Does it ring a bell to anyone? Thanks in advance. :)
