Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Leofwine_draca This quirky tale of thugs, slugs and martial arts is worth a look for those tired of mainstream, run-of-the-mill fare. Here, the central conceit is that all-action hero Rutger Hauer is blind. You'd think he would therefore be helpless too, but far from it...in fact, he's deadly with his sword and can easily take on a gang of bad guys single-handedly, unaided. The secret to Hauer's success is that he was trained in the jungles of Vietnam to cut a melon into quarters with his sword, in training scenes worthy of an early Van Damme vehicle! Another interesting thing this movie has to offer is a previously-undiscovered penchant on Hauer's part for physical comedy. I've long suspected that Hauer is underrated as an actor and here he proves the fact, by firstly being a totally convincing blind man, and secondly by being frequently funny when the script calls for it. On top of this, he's charismatic, an all-round nice guy and adept at playing either good guys (as here) or bad (THE HITCHER) depending on the film, effortlessly moving from side to side and creating either monstrous baddies or lovable heroes.Although the plot of this movie is predictable in the extreme, the blindness of Hauer's character makes for several unexpected comic moments, such as the scene around halfway where he drives a van at speed through a busy city - absolutely great stuff, topped off by fine comic interplay when an endangered fellow driver shouts to Hauer "are you blind?!" before realising that yes, indeed he is. The action, when it comes, is also clichéd but good, from the opening non-lethal bar-room fight between Hauer and a gang of thugs (just how many times have we seen that, anyway?) to a moment where he outwits a gang of bad guys in a cornfield. Come to think of it, the odd locations are what makes the action most memorable.The best scenes are saved for the finale, in particular a great moment when a load of bad guys gang up on Hauer on a disco floor, only for the lights to go out and him to get the upper hand and massacre them all in violent, bloodthirsty ways. There's also a superb one-on-one battle between Hauer and Japanese martial arts star Sho Kosugi, excellently staged.The supporting cast give mediocre performances, despite there being quite a few familiar faces on view (including Nick Cassavetes, Terry O'Quinn as Haure's Vietnam buddy, Noble Willingham and Randall "Tex" Cobb). Most of the villains are clichéd and uninspired, while some of the rednecks have some really dumb scenes which drag the film down a notch or two. Surprisingly, the bonding between Hauer and the young boy should be vomit-inducing but isn't, perhaps due again to Hauer's wry portrayal of the blind but very definitely not disabled. Fantasy fans will also probably notice Meg Foster (she of the incredible glowing eyes) appearing briefly as a mother. BLIND FURY is predictable stuff saved by some good action and the charisma of Rutger Hauer. Definitely recommended for action fans looking for something a little different.

dee.reid "Blind Fury" is a mostly forgotten little martial arts/samurai film from 1990. The film is basically an Americanized adaptation of the "Zatoichi" ("blind swordsman") film series that starred the late Japanese film star Shintaro Katsu (1931-1997); "Blind Fury" was itself reportedly inspired specifically by the film "Zatoichi Challenged" (1967).Part martial arts film and part road movie, "Blind Fury" is about blind Vietnam veteran Nick Parker (Rutger Hauer, "Blade Runner"), who becomes the reluctant protector of a youngster named Billy Devereaux (Brandon Call), after the boy's mother is slain by Nevada gangsters. Parker thus embarks on a cross-country odyssey to reunite Billy with his drug chemist father Frank Devereaux (Terrance O'Quinn), who was also Nick's best friend in Vietnam. Frank has become indebted to the gangsters from Nevada and to ensure that he can repay them, they try to capture his young son.What they don't count on, of course, is Nick and his awesome samurai sword-fighting skills, which he acquired from benevolent Vietnamese sword masters after being blinded in a mortar attack one night by Vietnamese insurgents and Frank abandoned him during the battle. Nick appears to have forgiven Frank for his actions (or lack thereof)."Blind Fury" was directed by Phillip Noyce (of the thriller "Dead Calm" from the year before). I'm not sure who worked on the fight choreography for this movie, but it is definitely top-notch (considering its budget limitations), and Hauer appears to be the real deal doing his own sword-fighting sequences. Additionally, Hauer also brings a sly, cunning wit to the proceedings, who as someone else once mentioned before, he hardly seems aware of the fact that he's often cutting down one legion of bad guys after another.Japanese martial arts star Sho Kosugi appears late in the film as "The Assassin," a master sword fighter brought in by the gangsters to challenge Nick Parker.8/10

blackmamba99971 As far as the sword and war movies go, this one packs a good punch. A man Nick Parker (Rutger Hauer) who was wounded in the Vietnam war is left behind by his own man during a strategic move to stop their foes in their tracks. But by happenstance, Nick is wounded and blind from a mortar fire and tries to find his way out of the violence. In doing so, he is adopted by a local villager and helps to heal his wounds and so for the next couple of years he learns the ways of the sword and his other senses which are tuned so greatly, that he can hear, taste or even feel with more clarity than he did when he had sight. Now back home in America twenty years later, he tries to catch up with his friend once more only to find out that his friend Frank Deveraux (Terry O' Quinn) is making a batch of highly toxic and addictive drugs. But to keep him in line, his boss tries to kidnap his son and use him as leverage. Now the battle begins where Nick, uses his skills against the gambling cartel with his unique and most powerful weapons, his senses and his sword. The kingpin Macready (Noble Willingham) is ruthless and goes out of his way to stop Nick from his exchange with the mob. And in so doing, brings in an authentic samurai soldier played by a real life Ninja teacher Sho Kosugi who also plays in another film called Ninja Assassin. Blending this last battle scene is nothing more than spectacular, Rutger Hauer was taught under Kosugi before the film was made, honing his skills as a sword wielder. This has all ingredients of humour, sadness, great fights, and a wonderful scene where our blind hero drives a van like it was natural. Not recommended for those under 14. But I recommend it for the crowd who loves a good fight with swords. Excellent movie.

George Bailey An American martial arts film has three main characteristics: one guy with a sword against a thousand southern guns; someone wants someone else (usually not the guy with the sword) dead or as ransom; and finally, there's that one good chase scene that no self-respecting action film can go without. So it's save to say that Blind Fury is a martial arts film. While severely dated with classic 70s/80s characteristics, the film hides a few gems. Huaer pulls off the blind sword master with grace. He gets into his character so well, you almost forget he played in LadyHawke. The only issue, in fact, with the casting is no aging. All the characters look exactly the same in Vietnam as they do 20 years later. As for the humor, well, that's what gives it the seven. Brother Tector and Brother Lyle: what a hoot! Such not-so-subtle lines like "that's why I always voted for gun-control" and "I didn't know Daddy wore a rubber" make the film worth the techno-music torture. Despite the over-abundance of mullets, music, and montages, Blind Fury is worth your time. It holds your attention and, while not really a family movie (unless your family's into fake blood), is good for those alone-in-the-house-what-should-I-do nights. One thumb up.
