Rutger Hauer was a good choice to play the blind swordsman; his cheesy factor is balanced out by his strength of character and his ability to be wryly comical. The plot is part escort mission/part revenge drama that descends into something resembling an episode of The A-Team that, for me, worked in its favour because I love The A-Team. (I really do. It's reviewed HERE.)
I'm surprised there was no Blind Fury 2; there are many more Zatoichi films they could've plundered a similar kind of story from.
