the unacknowledged adaptation of the Zato Ichi films, which features Rutger Hauer as a blind swordsman who wanders the roads of America, helps reunite a small boy with his father, and wastes more mob henchman than you can shake a white cane at.

Cool fight scenes that play up the blind aspect. Not much of a story, but a fun action movie.

Refashioning Zatoichi into a zany, Americanized B-movie turns out to be a rollickingly fun idea.

The most talked about film in my school's playground in 1989 and I've been wanting to see it ever since. A shame then that it comes as a huge disappointment 21 years later when I finally get to see it. It seems only 9 year old boys enjoy this cheap and horrible Zatoichi influenced abomination. I still like Rutger Hauer though.
