I remember seeing Blind Fury back around 1989 when I was a lot younger and being fascinated by the idea of a blind swordsman. 13 years later and wiser I now realize that this movie was made in honor of the great "Zatoichi" samurai flicks from the '60s and '70s. Rutger Hauer will never win an Oscar but he can be enjoyable in such action movies as "Blade Runner", "The Hitcher", "Night Hawks", and "Blind Fury". If you can get past the idea of a blind swordsman taking on loads of armed crooks, and hitmen, then you may enjoy this film. If you are a Zatoichi fan, then you will be sure to pick out numerous "rip-offs" such as the cutting off of one's eyebrows, or exposing a crooked casino.
I would give this movie a 6 out of 10 (1 point for Rutger, 4 points for putting out an American version of "Zatoichi... the Blind Swordsman", and 1 point for Tex Cobb.)
