Blind Fury
Rutger Hauer said of this movie on his official website: "Blind Fury (1989) was one of the most difficult jobs for me because of the combination with the swordplay. I'm glad it does not show. I mean that is was so difficult. Trained a month with a blind man who taught me his handicap. He was such a nice man. First thing he said was, 'I don't get confused about what I see.' Then I trained every morning at 4:30 before shooting for those seven weeks. Then Shô Kosugi was brought in for the swordplay. That was an additional shoot for a week or so. Wonderful.",When Nick and Billy are about to board the bus to Reno, they both trip and fall into puddles of mud and water. Their clothes get filthy, but the next shot of them on the bus, their clothes are clean.,[Nick is driving and bumps into another car]
Other driver: Are you blind?
Nick Parker: Yeah. What's your excuse?,As the credits roll, we see Nick Parker continuing his stroll along the highway until he is lost from view,When Blind Fury was being prepared for TV in the early 1990s, many changes were made, adding short extensions here and there, as well as alternate "TV friendly" takes of various lines. Here is a full list of changes:
1. Alternate take: Billy sticks his tongue out at Nick to "test" his blindness, rather than giving him the finger as in the theatrical cut.
2. Deleted shot: Billy runs outside along his backyard pool, with a tracking shot revealing more of his dinosaur sculptures,Featured in Siskel & Ebert: Pretty Woman/Blind Fury/A Shock to the System/The Fourth War/Lambada (1990),I love this movie. It's another example of brilliant, under-rated acting by the one and only Rutger Hauer. In a way I feel sorry for Hauer, Like Christopher Lambert, he is a top quality actor but very under-rated.

Anyway, Rutger Hauer stars as a Vietnam War veteran. During battle, he was blinded by a mortar attack. He was then captured by a tribe in Vietnam and trained to master the sword. 20 years later, Hauer is back in the USA and sets out to find his fellow soldier friend, Frank.

The sword which Hauer uses in this movie is so cool. I love the sword fights in this movie.

8/10,
