That's it, thank you.
I once saw part of a movie about immortal people who live through the ages as warriors. They can be "killed" but moments later they revive and their injuries heal rapidly.
In a flashback scene, one of these immortals was sentenced to death for witchcraft during the middle ages. They tried hanging her, but she lived through it. They tried burning her at the stake, but she survived that as well. Finally, they had a metal coffin constructed (it resembled an iron maiden made of bronze), locked her inside it, and threw it off a ship into the sea. That probably didn't kill her either, but she couldn't escape and would suffer the horrible fate of drowning repeatedly, forever.
I'm not sure whether the movie was being played off a DVD, or being streamed. I'm pretty sure it was not a mainstream cinema production, it was probably a direct-to-video flick.
