Blind Fury is a 1989 movie starring Rutger Hauer as a Vietnam Vet.
[edit] Synopsis
Rutger Hauer plays Nick Parker, a soldier who becomes blinded in the war and is taught how to use a sword by a group of villagers. He comes home to visit his friend Frank Deveraux (played by Lost's Locke Terry O'Quinn) and ends up taking Frank's son Billy (Brandon Call) with him after the mother played by Meg Foster is shot by henchmen of Terry's evil boss. All the while, they are being chased by bad guys employed by Terry's boss MaCready (Walker, Texas Ranger's Noble Willingham) and lead bad guy Randall "Tex" Cobb. The final fight scene is with the martial arts great, Master Ninja Sho Kosugi.
[edit] Trivia
- The UK version was trimmed when it was released on VHS Home Video. The dialogue "Gasoline mixed with detergent..." was taken out due to the BBFC's worries of imitations from audiences.
- Noble Willingham and Randall "Tex" Cobb would appear in the 1993 film Ace Ventura Pet Detective but not together.
- When the criminal, who is posed as a Police Officer, has his hand cut off by Nick's sword, you can immediately see his real arm intact in the next shot.
[edit] Miscellaneous
The film is loosely based modernized version of the famous Zatoichi series of Japanese films.
