Blind Fury is a 1989 film starring Rutger Hauer as a blind, sword-wielding Vietnam Vet. The film is a loosely based, modernized version of Zatoichi Challenged, the 17th film in the Japanese Zatoichi film series.
Rutger Hauer plays Nick Parker, a soldier who is blinded in the Vietnam War and taught how to use a sword by a group of villagers. He comes home to visit his friend Frank Deveraux (Terry O'Quinn) and later takes Frank's son Billy (Brandon Call) with him after his mother (Meg Foster) is shot by the henchmen of Frank's evil boss. All the while, they are being chased by bad guys employed by Frank's boss MaCready (Noble Willingham) and lead villain (Randall "Tex" Cobb). The final fight scene is with Master Ninja Sho Kosugi.
The UK version was trimmed when it was released on VHS. The dialogue "Gasoline mixed with detergent..." was taken out due to the BBFC's worries of imitations from audiences.
