Regarding the thing I'm looking for, I'm not sure if it's a movie, TV movie, or a series, although the bits of memories I have point more towards a series. I'm really working from just a brief experience, but I have a few clues. Although I haven't been able to find this movie/series, I acknowledge that it could be something completely trivial that someone might identify immediately.
It must have been broadcast between 1999 and around 2003 in the Czech Republic. We were recording something from TV and we also captured this movie/series on the VHS. Although only about 10 minutes of it were recorded, it left a significant impression on me.
I think the recording started with shots of some rocks in a desert (something like the Fremen dwellings in Dune, heh), among which a group of heroes was traveling. It alternated with shots from another place - I think without their knowledge their journey was being watched by someone. Suddenly, a bunch of people or creatures in hoods swarmed out from the rocks and surrounded them. They completely engulfed them until nothing could be seen of the heroes. There was a voiceover and scary sounds playing at the same time. I remember the following part the best. Some man, in my mind a villain, was boasting about who he managed to kill or capture after this incident. With each name, a shot of that character flashed on the screen. I believe the man was showing some cards or coins with each name. What surprised me the most was that I heard the name Xena among them. I knew the series with Lucy Lawless, but this work did not resemble it at all. It's possible it was a similar name. This man was in a dark room, and I think he was dressed in dark but ornate clothing. I believe that shortly after this scene, the episode of the series ended - assuming it was a series. But I think it resembles a cliffhanger quite well.
Any help would be appreciated.
