Blind Fury is a 1989 American action comedy film directed by Phillip Noyce and starring Rutger Hauer, Terry O'Quinn, Lisa Blount, Randall "Tex" Cobb, and Noble Willingham.[2] It is a modernized, English-language remake of Zatoichi Challenged, the 17th film in the Japanese Zatoichi film series.[3]

The film follows Nick Parker (Hauer), a blind, sword-wielding Vietnam War veteran, who returns to the United States and befriends the son of an old friend. Parker decides to help the boy find his father (O'Quinn), who has been kidnapped by a major crime syndicate. This was Phillip Noyce's American film debut.

After premiering in West Germany, Blind Fury was released in the United States by Tri-Star Pictures on August 17, 1989. It received mixed-to-positive reviews,[4] but failed to find an audience at the box office. In the years since its release, the film has developed a cult following.
