Gives more of an in depth background to the story. Tony told Bill Connolly that the contacts he had to wear were very painful and he developed an eye infection from using them so a sequel was out of the question.

A 1994 TV film 'Blind Justice' with Armand Assante was in the same vein as Blindman and was quite good. Much of the humor of Tony Anthony was used by the screenwriters and Assante pulls off the performance very well.
