... Succeeding Daredevil !

Blind Fury managed to showcase a character, albeit different yet still the same as the much more mainstream celebrated comicbook figure known as Daredevil, though with Ben Affleck's appearence he did not seem to be in fact blind. Thanks to cgi effects we saw what he saw. Blind Fury kept us in the dark so to speak and therefore managed in my opinion to keep us truly believing that our hero could not see a hand in front of him - or anything for that matter; Daredevil go home...

Here's another word: Zatoichi.

Full agreement with you Vaxt. Blind Fury is to Zatoichi as the The Magnificent Seven is to the Seven Samurai.

I just looked it up. The first Zatoichi movie beats Daredevil's appearance by two years. Is there an older blind ass-kicker than Zatoichi?

Ben and Rutger should fight to the death to see who is the badest. 5 bucks on Rutger, chop that gifted boy like flying melons.

My money would be on Rutger Houer too! I think he would have made an excellent Stick (the man who teaches young Matt Murdock to all the fighting skills he knows in the comics, was also one of Elektra's teachers in combat too) in both Daredevil and Elektra - instead of Terence Stamp. Dont get me wrong, Terence Stamp is a great actor and he played the character Stick really well. But I still think this guy would have pulled it off much better, after seeing his performance in Blind Fury, I always imagined he would play Daredevil if they ever made daredevil in 1990s or even Stick in the one with Ben Affleck.

I always thought in the eighties that Rutger Hauer would have been the ultimate Wolverine...
