The last time I saw a Rutger Hauer film was in 1988, it was Wanted: Dead or Alive, and that's no kidding.
Actually, my friends rented the movie by mistake because we were supposed to see Die Hard. From that day on, I never
wanted to see a Rutger Hauer movie again because of his stoic personality and weird facial looks.
The reason I picked up Blind Fury is that I saw a ninja on the DVD case because I'm a
sucker for ninja movies. Waiting for the ninjas to appear, they never did, so it's safe to say I got suckered twice over.
Now, what the heck did I see? It's a stupid oddball, goofy picture that defies rationality. The weirder the plot becomes,
the worse it is. There are so many times that Nick Parker should've died. Just set up a sniper somewhere and hit him
from one hundred yards or have ten men shooting at him with machine guns. At least, it has a great moment when a couple of
rednecks threw the woman out to steal her car before getting shot at and Tector said, "That's one reason I always voted for
gun control." By the way, did the main villain die after all? It doesn't seem so.
All in all, Blind Fury is a stupid movie that was made for little boys.
