For well over 40 years now, Blade Runner has been Rutger Hauer’s best movie, and there’s no doubt about it. His portrayal of the rebellious and doomed replicant known as Roy Batty in Ridley Scott’s iconic sci-fi movie, in which he delivered the emotionally-charged “tears in rain” soliloquy, has long been the stuff of legend. However, there’s an underrated and often overlooked ‘80s action flick starring the late actor that I think everyone should see.
It’s not Wanted: Dead or Alive, Flesh & Blood, or Desert Law, but instead Blind Fury, a movie in which Hauer plays a Vietnam War veteran who’s lost his sight but gained some awesome skills with a sword and heightened senses. It’s hilarious, it’s violent, and it’s a ton of fun. It’s a wild ‘80s movie you need to watch.
