If you're in the mood for a good old fashioned eighties action flick and you've already seen everything with Arnold and Stallone a million times over, give Blind Fury a chance. They call Rutger Hauer the European Paul Newman, but Christopher Walken is probably a more accurate comparison. Both actors are capable of that icy coolness, where they can say sinister things that sound friendly and friendly things that sound sinister. Hauer brings that quality to his heroic role in Blind Fury, and the result is definitely one of our must see movie downloads of the eighties, especially if you're talking about cool, funny action flicks.
The story follows a Vietnam war veteran who was abandoned by his old buddy during a bad firefight. He was left behind and wound up going blind. He was taken in by a south Vietnamese village where he was taught to use a samurai sword to defend himself. He's now returned to the United States and is seeking out the man who left him behind, not to take revenge, but to forgive his old friend and reconcile with him.
Along the way, he essentially adopts the man's son for the week and takes him on a journey to reunite with his father. It's sort of like Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, but done as an eighties action comedy in the US. It's funny, exciting, and the blindness provides an interesting angle for the action. From the opening scene to the finale, the movie keeps coming up with interesting new ways to exploit his blindness.
Hauer really has to compete for the audience's attention alongside the rest of the cast, who are all priceless. Slag is really a big part of what makes the cast so funny. Slag, played by Randall Tex Cobb, is one of the all time funniest eighties badguys. The way he meets his come uppance is really fitting and will leave you with a smile on your face.
The movie is really one of the best of the eighties in terms of action flicks. It really captures what the era was all about. Along the way, there's also some really good storytelling as the film deals with issues of friendship and abandonment.
Ninja movie legend Sho Kosugi makes a great cameo towards the end as the hired sword the badguy sics on Hauer. Kosugi has been a legend in Asia for years but has rarely been more than a cult favorite in the US, so it's always cool to see him in a movie, even if he's reduced to playing little more than hired baddies. But regardless, he and Hauer have one of the movie's best scenes together.
You'll probably love the two redneck brothers who are constantly nagging each other and fighting, providing the real comedic drive of the movie. Sort of like throwing Abbot and Costello into the middle of an action flick.
It really is too bad that they don't really make movies like this anymore, but we can at least enjoy these movies with movie downloads. It's not one of the most well known of the eighties action flicks, but it's really one of the very best of the era. Funny, exciting, imaginative and fun.
