Yes we know. Rutgar Hauer has full use of his eyes. His character was blind not the actor. Much like Richard Pryors character in See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
Go Ahead! Make my day!
Ugh, if you check wikipedia he actually WAS blinded by a bad FX stunt gone wrong. It was the inspiration to this movie.

What?! He was only ACTING? You sir, would do well to do a bit of research before spouting off absurd comments and making outlandish claims.
Rutger was blinded in a freak, but hideous marital aid malfunction. While he was blinded, his partner at the time was even less fortunate. She died after the marital aid ("The Buzzfest Scream Time" made by Jack Hammerin, Inc.) became locked on the "Screaming Multi O" position and lodged in her, well, you get the picture. Following this tragic loss, and despite his handicap, Rutger Hauer went on to earn a dual Certified Certificate of Certification from the Tokyo City Community College in Ninja Sword and TV/VCR Repair.
He has gone on a one man crusade since then to raise awareness for Marital Aid Deaths, accidental and otherwise.
So you see sir, your refusal to do a minimal amount of research has resulted in you fabricating information. Understand, you are on the IMDB chat forums which are the GOLD STANDARD of chat forums.
