70s or 80s adventure movie
 

Hey guys, im trying to find a movie. I think its from the 1970s/1980s. It was an adventure movie but im pretty sure had some comedic elements to it as well. One scence i recall is when a guy somehow elongates his hand i think to play with a cat but then elongates his entire arm and tries to steal something from a different room in the building he's in. But in the process the guy he's trying to steal from i think wakes up and burns the intruding arm with a candle.

Is it The Serpent and the Rainbow? I've never Google cheated for an answer before, so it's probably wrong. ;)

Hey, sorry but its not that. Thanks for the guess tho. Might have a look at that movie tho lol

I've only seen the three most recent Fantastic Four movies, but could this be a scene from the 1994 version? It's the wrong decade, but things from the 90s have a tendency to look like they're older haha.

Honestly I have absolutely no idea what this might be ... but just to check - have you definitely discounted the possibility of it being Gladiator?

It sounds like Captain Sinbad (1963) starring Guy Williams from the old Lost in Space TV show.

I'd say that's a yes.

Yes, that's definately it. I didn't think it was as old as that. Id forgotten about the giant hand at the end :-). Thanks for looking guys.
