And there are like ten scenes that would qualify! Literally, show me an envelope of money, and I'll agree to ANYTHING, sight unseen. I'm out... (Walks away). Two seconds later... Alright, let's do this. The guy who gets caught after the heist folds like a pyramid of cards, spills all the beans, with the promise of "I can't promise you anything!," by some crooked no-good cop.
This might be the dumbest idea for a heist movie I've ever seen, and I try to watch them all. "Mastermind" assembles 5 blind guys, with axes to grind, to rob a bank of millions of dollars. Why is it a brilliant idea to hire and train 5 blind men? YA GOT ME. They give a couple reasons in the movie. 1. Who would suspect it?! (Only the people in the bank don't realize they're blind?! Ok, scratch that one), and 2. The robbers can't identify who is pulling the strings (Watch the movie, and discover this point is moot as well). What you've got is an original idea, problem is, it makes no sense. And judging by the fate of the criminals, it's a colossally dumb idea.
Considering the diversity, characteristics, the fact that they're in a foreign country, AND the number of people present for the robbery, you'd ASSUME these guys would be highly recognizeable. No, they question... ONE witness. And the, uh, brains behind the operation uses his real name and ID leaving the country. Everyone else stupidly seals their own fates. What a buncha maroons.
I know, I know, I'm missing the point. This is a prime, albeit idiotic, slice of 70's grindhouse (er, Rated R, only I can't think of anything to push it beyond a 1976/78 PG), replete with print flaws, bad dubbing, Grade-A 70's grindhouse soundtrack, and starring... exploitation icon Fred Williamson?! Hmm, he's top-billed, is the focus of the international trailer, and, wait for it (I mean really WAIT), yeah, he pops up in the closing 11 minutes. He follows a perp around, and hides clearly in plain sight (I mentioned criminals sealing their own fates). He chases, gets in one brief fight, pulls out a bent cigar for laughs, THE END. #1 billing!
Blind Rage is dumb, clunky, slow, and low-rent enough to make for a great Rifftrax treatment.
