Blind Fury is a semi-amusing action flick that mixes in some crime, war, and comedy elements to keep things interesting. It's a silly 80s action flick that pits two unlikely companions together, but Noyce adds a couple of extra winks and nudges that help it stand out from the many others.
Hauer is good for the part, the rest of the cast plays properly tongue-in-cheek too. The action scenes are decent, the film doesn't take itself too seriously and the runtime is short enough so it never overstays its welcome. If you want an '80s US Zatoichi, this is probably the closest you'll ever get.
