Blind Fury (1989)

Rutger Hauer stars in this fantastic B-movie gem as a blind Vietnam vet who has been taught how to swordfight. This film is ridiculous! You've got a car chase with a blind man driving, designer drugs, a snotty little kid (who is in the whole damn movie), a terrible synthesizer-driven score, and some really great swordfighting action. The supporting cast of cronies is absolutely hilarious. Homoerotic undertones abound and general creepiness from Hauer, this film is a classic of 80s action!

8/10

Nighthawks (1981)

Sylvester Stallone stars as a NY cop who has to take down European terrorist Wulfgar played by Rutger Hauer. Billy Dee Williams plays Sly's partner, but unfortunately his role is squeezed into the margins. The real meat is the play between Sly and Rutger. Excellent score by Keith Emerson. This is more of a psychological crime thriller than an action film, but nevertheless it is a good one.
