And there are like ten scenes that would qualify! Literally, show me an envelope of money, and I'll agree to ANYTHING, sight unseen. I'm out... (Walks away). Two seconds later... Alright, let's do this. The guy who gets caught after the heist folds like a pyramid of cards, spills all the beans, with the promise of "I can't promise you anything!," by some crooked no-good cop.

This might be the dumbest idea for a heist movie I've ever seen, and I try to watch them all. "Mastermind" assembles 5 blind guys, with axes to grind, to rob a bank of millions of dollars. Why is it a brilliant idea to hire and train 5 blind men? YA GOT ME. They give a couple reasons in the movie. 1. Who would suspect it?! (Only the people in the bank don't realize they're blind?! Ok, scratch that one), and 2. The robbers can't identify who is pulling the strings (Watch the movie, and discover this point is moot as well). What you've got is an original idea, problem is, it makes no sense. And judging by the fate of the criminals, it's a colossally dumb idea.

Considering the diversity, characteristics, the fact that they're in a foreign country, AND the number of people present for the robbery, you'd ASSUME these guys would be highly recognizeable. No, they question... ONE witness. And the, uh, brains behind the operation uses his real name and ID leaving the country. Everyone else stupidly seals their own fates. What a buncha maroons.

I know, I know, I'm missing the point. This is a prime, albeit idiotic, slice of 70's grindhouse (er, Rated R, only I can't think of anything to push it beyond a 1976/78 PG), replete with print flaws, bad dubbing, Grade-A 70's grindhouse soundtrack, and starring... exploitation icon Fred Williamson?! Hmm, he's top-billed, is the focus of the international trailer, and, wait for it (I mean really WAIT), yeah, he pops up in the closing 11 minutes. He follows a perp around, and hides clearly in plain sight (I mentioned criminals sealing their own fates). He chases, gets in one brief fight, pulls out a bent cigar for laughs, THE END. #1 billing!

Blind Rage is dumb, clunky, slow, and low-rent enough to make for a great Rifftrax treatment.

Caught a double feature of this & The One Armed Executioner at the New Beverly Cinema last week and what a treat it was. Both films are very cheesy, yet seeing them on 35mm film at a theater as awesome as the New Bev was an absolute delight. The plot is ridiculous, the acting is terrible, the production is hokey... but in all of that lies the charm. It's a total throwback 70s exploitation flick worth of a Tarantino grindhouse vibe. The print shown was fairly rough, and the color was often quite warm... a few choppy edits... but it totally works for this kind of film. The audience totally got into it and it was enjoyed by all. Definitely recommend for a good bad movie. The freeze frame as the credits roll is just perfection.

Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Tokyo, Manila, Mexico and Los Angeles. These are the cities that director Efren C. Piñon takes this action-packed film to. Those are the cities where a gang of blind men has been recruited to become a bank robbing team, all trained by Sally (Leila Hermosa). All working for Johnny Duran (Charlie Davao), they're being tracked down by Jesse Crowder (Fred Williamson).

The gang of blind men is made up of blinded mobster out for revenge Willie Black (D'Urville Martin), doublecrossed gangster Lin Wang (Leo Fong), former matador who lost his eyes to a bull Hector Lopez (Darnell Garcia), blind from birth magician Amazing Anderson (Dick Adair) and safecracker Ben Guevara (Tony Ferrer). The wild part of this scheme is that the money that is being taken is meant to stop the Domino Theory in Vietnam when the criminals take it from under the government's nose.

There's one great reason to watch this all and it's a line of dialogue that made me laugh more than any other so far this year: "Unit Two to Unit One-it's going down at the International House of Pancakes!"

Williamson would play the same character in Death Journey and No Way Back, but you don't need to see either of those movies to enjoy this. I mean, what other movie has a bunch of multiracial blind men all training over and over for a big heist like it's a lights out Ocean's 11?
