60 of 124 · most liked firstI mentioned it yesterday, now it’s time for #SamuraiSunday. #NowWatching Blind Fury (1989) Not the most authentic, but it is a direct remake of the 17th Zatoichi film, & it kicks an unbelievable amount of ass. I was 11 years old and swinging a stick around pretending it was a katana. #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying Blind Fury, fav Rutger Hauer Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →While we are on the subject of Zatoichi don't forget they remade the 1967 film Zatoichi Challenged into the Rutger Hauer vehicle Blind Fury and in this guy's opinion, it kicks ass!
positive · AI labelView post →One of the weirdest cult films of the 1990s featured Rutger Hauer as a blind swordsman in a modernized American retelling of a Zatoichi film. Blind Fury bombed at the box office and shouldn't work...so why has it gone on to become a minor action classic?

neutral · AI labelView post →I have posted a new-old #BlindYelling (edited from twitter days) to my ko-fi blog. Head over there for discussions of portrayals of blindness in media, in this case, Blind Fury- a late 80s Rutger Hauer movie. Also, I am fundraising a massive influx of bills, if you can help. ko-fi.com/karidru

neutral · AI labelView post →I am not here to tell you this is some kind of Oscar winner; it didn't win any because the Academy is wholly made up of cowards. Not the point. The movie? Holy *hell* does it whip ass my friends, you could do worse for a Friday night when you're after a great time. BLIND FURY: see it if you can!😉😝
positive · AI labelView post →I am seriously disoriented by "Terence O'Quinn" with HAIR #BlindFury 💥 #MondayActionMovie
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Lisa Blount. Every time she turns up in something she's always entertaining, and always different from the last movie she was in. I found her particularly appealing in Blind Fury. #FrightClub
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Blind Fury (1989) Every so often I'll have a brain spark, like "wait, why have I not watched the Rutger Hauer blind swordsman movie?" JUST UNDER 90 MINUTES, WHY THANK YOU, DON'T MIND IF I DO
positive · AI labelView post →There is a sub genre in action films of blind vigilantes. Daredevil is at the top of the list, but there is also the amazing Rutger Hauer film Blind Fury. Blind Cop 2 carries the torch.
neutral · AI labelView post →#JanuaryMovieChallenge Blind person in a film "Blind Fury" (1989) Cult action comedy starring Rutger Hauer as a blind Vietnam vet who has to save his friend's kidnapped son (It's better than it sounds)

neutral · AI labelView post →So i'm watching Blind Fury on Tubi. A Rutger Hauer movie I probably havent watched in decades. It used to be in heavy nightly rotation on HBO or Prism. It is different then I remember in one big way. 30 minutes in and it is less about our blind American swordsman and more about the kid.

negative · AI labelView post →Known for his villainous roles, Rutger Hauer branched out into action-comedy in the 1989 film, Blind Fury. He played a blind Vietnam vet who was taught to fight with a sword using his other senses. It co-starred Meg Foster and Sho Kosugi. 📽️ 🎬 #filmsky #rutgerhauer #blindfury

negative · AI labelView post →How did I spend my day? A #Zatoichi legacy triple bill, of course. Blind Fury my VHS rental store gateway drug. Benefit of hindsight, Hollywood in not great martial arts movie shock. Ichi is the (heavily implied) daughter of Zatoichi. Beat Takeshi nails the reboot. 🎥 #filmsky #blindswordsman
negative · AI labelView post →Went into a pet shop to buy a goldfish. The assistant asked if I wanted an aquarium. I told her I didn't care what star sign it was. Stupid film rec, as I got reminded of it yesterday, is Blind Fury. Rutger Hauer as a blind samurai. It's TRASH. And have a photo of my two dingoes.
negative · AI labelView post →Blind Fury might be the zaniest movie to ever open with a mother being murdered in front of her child. Some wild tone shifts early on
neutral · AI labelView post →Best movie ever made is the American modernization of, Zatochi: The Blind Swordsman, Blind Fury, Starring Rutger Hauer youtu.be/FU169GhEa9Q?...
positive · AI labelView post →Honorable mentions include They Live, Johnny Mnemonic, Demolition Man, Pi, Evil Dead trilogy, the Dune movie that's actually fun, The 9th Gate, Nirvana, Highlander, Total Recal, Robocop, Blind Fury, Godzilla Final War, My Lucky Stars, Commando, Shogun Assassin, Aliens, Fury Road and Road Warrior

neutral · AI labelView post →Zatoichi films! I love them all so much, and I still insist they are amongst the best martial arts films (and tv episodes) ever made. These films ran from 1962 to 1989 starring Shintaro Katsu. There was also one made by Beat Takeshi, and the 17 film was adapted into Blind Fury starting Rutger Hauer
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a tangent, but if you ever want to see a great Rutger Hauer movie, I recommend BLIND FURY or THE HITCHER! A BREED APART is also great, though flawed and incomplete (great work from Powers Boothe too!). Sorry...I just love Rutger Hauer. ^__^;;;
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching Blind Fury (1989). Haven't seen this in a decade or three #filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching "Blind Fury" 1989 the denouement of which is set in an abandoned ski lodge, the name of which is a little too on the money for a big daft movie about a blind vigilante swordsman!
positive · AI labelView post →"Blind Fury" could easily have been a crap movie, but Rutger Hauer makes everything great.
positive · AI labelView post →it’s such abundance for the stupid movie lover. without Tubi i never would have watched BLIND FURY with Rutger Hauer (twice)
positive · AI labelView post →The weirdest shit I saw was it narrating clips from the movie Blind Fury where it didn't seem to catch that Rutger Hauer is supposed to be blind, so it thought the movie was about a guy being fed burritos with hot sauce that isn't spicy.
