In late 2002, I was in Mexico and watched a movie on television. I'm sure it aired on cable but you may know Mexican cable laws aren't that concerned with showing softcore nudity or violence. Presumably this movie aired on a movie channel like Golden or something similar.
All I remember about this action movie is that the climax took place in some kind of warehouse or factory. There were catwalks and the climax may have taken place on one. In the end, the hero (presumably male?) cuts the big bad villain in half vertically, so like from the head down. After the cut, there were brief shots of the villain reacting before he falls over. (I even feel like the last shot is from behind the villain and as they fall apart it reveals the hero, as like a film thing) I feel like the effect used a lot of CG and probably didn't look that great. Either way it's an image that's always stuck with me. As for what was used to do the slicing, I'd presume some kind of sword but I don't think the protagonist was, say, a samurai or something of that nature. It was probably a weapon found inside the facility, it was a movie with that kind of serious, grounded tone.
It was likely a mid-budget (or possibly Hollywood) movie made in the 90s. It wasn't originally voiced in Spanish so I believe it was probably made in America (or targeted at American audiences). Several times I've sniffed around looking for a movie with this description but I haven't found anything yet.
