The Blind Kung-Fu Master
The Blind Kung-Fu Master (Bobby Lee) appears out of nowhere to perform heroic actions, such as saving an elderly person who is being robbed. Almost without exception, however, he fails miserably because he is handicapped by his poor vision, frequently running into solid objects or attacking the wrong person. Other characters exploit his blindness to play jokes on him; for example, when he was learning the martial arts, his teachers, instead of giving him the proper dragon tattoo, gave him a tattoo of a little girl with a balloon. At one point, by sheer chance he temporarily gained his sight and said "I've never seen myself before," implying he was blind since birth. However, shortly after gaining his sight, he used binoculars to look directly at the sun and became blind again.
