That was a cool movie, as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rutger Hauer movie was patterned after Zatôichi.
[edit] Yup, it was, according to these links.
Blind Fury
Someone mentions it
here on the IDMB message boards.
This screenwriter,
Ryozo Kasahara, (who worked on the Zatôichi series), is listed as one of the early writers on Blind Fury.
