Brian De Palma's crazy psychic powers movie still packs a punch after all these years. I honestly can say I don't like all the silly spy crap and sinister plotlines, however, the action by the climax makes up for it all. Heads exploded in Scanners, but in The Fury you see a dude's whole damn body get exploded by psychic energy. It's a very cool scene. The scene with the lady being levitated and spun to death is awesome as well, even if Andrew Stevens is kinda goofy looking. Amy Irving looks hot in this film though and does a great job, especially at the end. Nothing like the scene of Steven's using his psychic abilities to hurl some Arabs through a window from an out of control carnival ride. Do yourself a favor and catch this thing sometime on AMC or get a good print with all the goods intact, it's a lot of fun.
