Blind Fury is a 1989 action comedy that follows a blind war veteran and trained swordsman who helps rescue the son of a fellow soldier.
This is one of those films that even though it has a very creative premise, and a good cast to back it up, had a hard time finding the right audience when it came out. And although it was a box office flop I'd like to think it's gained more appreciation now days in cult status because it's actually a pretty decent movie. Of course like a lot of 80's films it has some cheesiness to it, but Rutger Hauers performance is quite good, and it mixes the humor elements in with its tone nicely.
It'll never be considered an amazing movie by any means, but is definitely entertaining. If you haven't seen Blind Fury before, give it a chance and see what you think.
