    Daft by the numbers action movie that helped Rutger Hauer become firmly rooted in the "straight to video" league. It's still much better than most Van Damme/Seagal movies though...

    'Blind Fury' is a fun little yarn starring Rutger Hauer as Nick Parker, a Vietnam vet turned American Zatoichi/blind swordsman. After promising his old Nam buds' ex that he would take her kid to Nevada to see the dad, Parker sets off, and we're all good to go for nonstop action a...( read more)nd laughs. This movie is typical fill-in-the-blanks late 80s popcorn action movie fun.

    You got many B list actors in this: the so very hot Meg Foster (They Live, Future Kick, Master of the Universe) is in the first five minutes (I'll let you take a wild guess why she's not in the other hour and ten). The guy that girl told to "eat shit you fucking Redneck" redneck from 'The Last Boy Scout" is here too, and it was a kick to see him say "designer drugs, boy! Wave of the future!" just like he did in Last Boyscout. Terry O'Quinn does a good job as Hauer's 'Nam buddy, who he must save from the evil redneck who is creating a designer drug, that is apparently the wave of the future. Even mr. Ninja guy himself, Sho Kosugi shows up to fight Hauer @ the end. The bad guy redneck apparently "paid a lot of money to see this, boy!" and in struts Kosugi, chompin' on an apple. Hauer has an impressive fight with Sho, but the ninja gets knocked out by our blind boy, swimming into a vat of electrified acid. There was also an annoying kid who acted like a little shit the whole time to Hauer that gave this movie an 'Over the Top'-esque feel. Overall, he didn't stop this from being hella cheesy fun.

    Hauer is on the list of B and C grade leading men along with Christopher Lambert and Jeff Speakman. This was made when he was still a bonafide 80s action hero. The guy who directed this supposedly went on to direct 'the Saint' and Patriot Games'- this is easily way better and more entertaining that either of those.

    There was a lot to like in this: the training sequences @ the beginning, where Hauer is learning how to use the sword and all the Cambodian villagers are laughing at him; Hauer chopping a bee in half with his sword; these moments made up for a very pedestrian plot. I liked the quotes in this; the one that stands out in my mind (and that I look forward to using in everyday conversation @ inappropriate times) is the one where the baddies are shootin' somethin' up real good, and one quips: "Damn - that thing has more holes than my daddy's rubber." Priceless shit.

    Overall, if you wanna have some cheesy, mindless late 80s action fun on a weekday while winding down from work, you couldn't do much better than this- except maybe Showdown in Little Tokyo or 'Bloodsport.' I mean, I liked it- but then again, I like Brian Bosworth movies.
