There is a Mark Dacascos film titled "Only the Strong" (1993). Others in the cast are Stacey Travis, Geoffrey Lewis, Paco Christian Prieto, Todd Susman, and Richard Coca.
IMDB review:
This movie is simply quite incredible. The acting and dialog run on the cheesy side, and some of the fight choreography needs work, but just consider this a full length Capoeira advertisement. There is no denying the beauty and allure of this African *** Brazilian martial art. My only regret is that the producers saw a need to speed up some of the Capoeira play, as though it weren't impressive enough to stand on its own.
Plot and acting aside, the only real flaw with the movie is that the entire movie, they use a fairly accurate Capoeira fighting style with legs being the predominant weapons, but in the second half of the final fight scene, the fighting style completely shifts to a more street style involving only elbows and fists. While Rio style Capoeira incorporates these as a regular part of the style, it just doesn't fit in the movie at this point.
If you haven't seen this movie, rent it, then go find a Brazilian restaurant and watch a Capoeira/Samba/Lambada show. Then find a Capoeira mestre and start learning.
NOTE: Y!A won't let me submit this post with the IMDB link in place. *SIGH*
I couldn't find any description of the scene you mention, and it's been a long time since I've seen the film. I'm a major Mark Dacascos fan, so I make certain that I watch all of his films that I can find. This was rather good. I still have a copy of it in my videotape collection.
I have no idea if any of this is helpful since you had the title of the film and fighting style spotlighted.
