He may be blind, but Nick Parker (Rutger Hauer) has a way with a sword. The Vietnam vet pays a visit to an old war buddy, Frank Devereaux (Terrance O'Quinn), only to discover that his friend is in deep trouble. Gangsters have killed Frank's wife (Meg Foster) and are holding him hostage in Reno, Nev. Making a narrow escape with Frank's young son (Brandon Call), Nick heads across the country to even the score. Needless to say, his opponents underestimate him -- and his sword skills.

3/5

A double-dimed Zatoichi remake that’s also a late-’80s remnant of gruesome / goofy aesthetics, "Blind Fury" is easily the friendliest film in which someone has their hand severed at the wrist. It's an analog delight that's more than an afterthought.

...a solid premise that's employed to entertaining (if somewhat forgettable) effect...

This did provide Rutger Hauer with perhaps his most unusual heroic role until Hobo with a Shotgun 22 years later.

Stranger danger! Just because Rutger Hauer says he's blind doesn't mean you should let him put his paws all over your annoying kid's face.

Rutger Hauer stars as a Vietnam vet who is blinded in the war and M.I.A., assumed dead. He is taken in by villagers who teach him how to use his other, now enhanced senses to compensate for his lack of sight. They also teach him to cut people up with a sword hidden in his cane. Hauer returns to the States and looks up his buddy Terry O'Quinn. O'Quinn is a chemist in to the mob for gambling losses and they want to use him to make designer drugs. When he balks, they show up at his home to kidnap his family. Unfortunately for them, Hauer happens to be there and he rescues O'Quinn's son. The two of them go on the road to find O'Quinn. This is clearly an American version of the Zatoichi film series. While it's nowhere near their league, it's not bad, and wisely does not take itself very seriously at all. Hauer does mug a little too much, but he's basically a solid lead and Randall "Tex" Cobb and Sho Kusugi make for good villains.

Cool action movie with good action sequences. Rutger Hauer does a excellent job. The blind subject is very rehearsed by him.

This flick was made for the drive-ins and late night reruns. What saves this from being a total turkey is Hauer's performance which I can nearly believe.
