Of course, in the American version, he's a late-20th century blind Vietnam vet who learned swordsmanship from some Vietnamese villagers who were not only great at swords, but very eager to pass those skills along to the first blind white dude they came across. If you have a problem with that premise, you shouldn't be watching post-Ladyhawke Rutger Hauer movies. (The screenwriter also brought us Gymkata.) Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
