#125 Blind Fury (1989)

Get ready for the world of "Blind Fury" (1989). Directed by Phillip Noyce, this action-packed adventure delivers more sword-swinging action and eyebrow-shaving moments than you can imagine.

We follow Rutger Hauer's portrayal of Nick Parker, a blind Vietnam War vet with some seriously impressive sword skills. While he can fight better than sighted people, he ends up stuck in a situation that becomes like a terrible NPC escort mission. With the most henchman I've seen a bad guy have on the payroll in a while, and a plot that takes more detours than your last road trip, "Blind Fury" is a cinematic experience that defies easy categorization.

But here's the big question: Does "Blind Fury" manage to carve out its own unique place in '80s action cinema, or is it just a quirky footnote in the grand history of movies? Join us as we navigate this unpredictable journey, delivering our verdict on whether "Blind Fury" is a surprisingly entertaining hit or a head-scratching "seriously, what were they thinking?" miss.
