Help me find a movie I watched when I was young please!?

I would like to watch it for the nostalgia factor, all I can remember was there was a man who I think was betrayed, and burnt.. i was only young when i watched it but guessing it was more of an adult movie, the man was thought to be dead but I don't think he died and came back for vengeance. I think it was around the 1990's give of take.. I have wondered this for years and I know it wasn't darkman.

I think the lead role may of been played by an african american man if it helps narrow it down? I can't remember the actor

Does it ring a bell for anyone?
