2001-06-16 Last night I went to see the Fury, a 1978 Brian De Palma horror movie with Kirk Douglas, Andrew Stevens , John Cassavetes, and Amy Irving at the Film Center. There was so much to be amazed by this film. De Palma had such a sure hand in the action sequences and it was pretty cool seeing Chicago in the 1970�s. Lot of super feathered hair and short shorts (on girls And guys). Judging by the pants, 1970�s was a rather uncomfortable time for the male crotch. My favorite scene was when Kirk Douglas says to a super young, thin Dennis Franz (playing a cop of course): �Ask Childress (John Cassavetes who Douglas shot in the arm in the first part of the movie) how his arm is!� �Why? What happened to his arm?� Close up of Douglas who snarls, �I KILLED IT!!! WITH A MACHINE GUN!!!!� Oh, and when Amy Irving blows up Cassavetes and you see his obviously fake head flying off was also pretty good. A warning. The scariest parts come in the first part of the movie. Douglas and Andrew Stevens (playing father and son) roll around the beach, wrestling. Um, Stevens looks like he�s in his mid twenties. Both are wearing speedos. And in a scene after that, Douglas, still wearing his speedos, is sitting in a chair. He puts a foot up on another chair in front of him to put a shoe on so that the part where Michael Douglas came from is kinda on display. Scary movie. I KILLED IT!!!! WITH A MACHINE GUN!!!!! previous next |
