Rutger Hauer is gone. I liked him quite a lot.

Thinking of my favorite movies starring him, i just remembered Blind Fury.

Now, back in the day, it seemed to me it was a script taken from one of the type of novels i was reading at the time. Used to read Eric van Lustvader, Clavell, Ludlum, and a bunch of others that wrote about China, the far east, ninjas, industrial and financial schemes and such.

At the time, i had never heard about Zatoichi, who turns out to be the inspiration for Blind Fury.

Does someone remembers a novel, from 40 years ago, that sounds just like Blind Fury?

0-0

Blind Fury was a great b-flick. he first thing that went through my brain when I heard he died was,
"Shit! Fuck! Shit-Fuck!"

My favorite Rutger Hauer movie. I like when, during the final fight scene, he feels his opponent's face and says, "Ha! Japanese, huh?"

^^^^^
I especially liked the Apple cut part of the scene; my favorite part of the movie.

I can't think of a novel......but I can think of a comic book character; Stick from Daredevil. Scott Glenn did a good job in the Netflix Daredevil series.
