Plot: A blind Vietnam vet, trained as a swordfighter, comes to America and helps to rescue the son of a fellow soldier.
When the kid from "Step By Step" gives blind Rutger Hauer a rock to eat as a trick, and Rutger spits it at the kid's head...that's just fantastic.
The 1989 film Blind Fury featuring Rutger Hauer as a blind swordsman in contemporary America is based on the screenplay of Zatoichi Challenged (1967) with elements of other films of the series.
I have to admit that i was a bit let down by this, It'd been hyped up for me for over a year and when I finally saw it the lack of actual fury was somewhat disappointing.
It's still an OK movie but doesn't quite have the same shlock feel as Showdown in Little Tokyo or Big Trouble in Little China. I know it's not the same people or actors but that's more like what I was expecting.
I absolutely love this film, and well done to Rutger, no one else could have played such a bubbly yet ispiring character, this film always makes me cry at the end!
Basically an American take on the Zatoichi character with Rutger Hauer in the lead as a blind sword-master who takes on some random bad guys who's trying to kidnap the son of an old friend of Hauer. Silly and dumb but I'll be damned if I didn't laugh out loud several times. The kid is hellishly annoying but Hauer is a joy to watch in a role he's obviously having a lot of fun with.
