    Oh Tatum...

    It's like this:

    Tatum as po' white trash. The Tuff Girrl. She smokes! She swears! She needs a new agent and quality time at a tanning salon!

    Enter Irene "Fame" Cara. The Good Girrl. She's from Westchester! She wears GAP clothes! She once again shows us her negative-boobage in an unintentionally hysterical near-rape scene!

    This turkey trots along like a how-to tutorial in camp & cliche, and the kitchen sink has been thrown in for good measure. We have a foot chase in the sewer-tunnels, a towering inferno in a crackwhore flophouse, the classic Peter Fonda boat scene, and a finale that had me spraying cherry Capri Sun from my nostrils. Hint: It's supposed to be sad but it's really a knee-slapper.

    Not quite campy enough to be cult, "Certain Fury" can surely be found in a Blockbuster close-out bin... sandwiched somewhere between "Tuff Turf" and an Olsen Twin flick.

    Only Tatum O'Neal is worth the effort.

    "Certain Fury" is grade-Z stuff in most departments (the low production values and the often very bad dialogue stand out), but Tatum O'Neal is engagingly tough and she makes the film worth watching all by herself. Irene Cara is awful, and the slashing scene is hilariously fake, but Tatum won me over, enough to give this film a ** rating.

    IRENE AND TATUM

    I Love the movie certain fury. I have been searching for this movie for years and years.I love both actresses, Irene Cara and Tatum Oneal, These are both talented women I would have liked for them to make a part2 of this movie. They both did a great job. I would like to see these women make another movie together soon. Both actresses have there own unique style therefore you can not judge them.

    Come on Stephen and Micheal what do you say, They say twice is always nice. Or have another another action and drama with them together with Kristy Mcnikol. I think with these three women will be a blast. with actors Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawk.

    Thank you for taking the time out to read my comments.

    Awful Good

    Badly acted, written, and directed, Certain Fury provides a fair amount of unintentional laughs. Tatum is the 'bad' girl, Irene the 'good' girl gone bad. One of the funniest scenes had Tatum spitting in Peter Fonda's face. He responds by slashing her face (in unconvincing close-up) with his nail file. When she falls to the ground screaming, he blurts out to his hench-men, "Get this bleeding bitch off my boat!" If you like 'good bad films' then this one is for you. If you prefer quality...well then you've been warned.

    Heavyweight 80's Sleaze

    Never heard about this movie until today but it seems that 80s movies made by the likes of New World and other long forgotten about VHS fodder are finally being dumped onto streaming services. Movies that only until recently existed as video files ripped from grainy VHS and downloaded are now here in full HD.

    This is yet another female clone of The Defiant Ones, a proto Thelma and Louse without the bad driving. We have Tatum O'Neil, a name I remember but not anything shes been in, and Irene Cara who was ridiculously pretty and not in enough stuff. Something to do with a lawsuit.. The story is that both girls end up in court by chance, and by further chance end up in court at the same time as two female gang members who are intent on shooting their way to freedom. Which is where the first shock of this movie appears, which is how violent and gory it is. This was a feature of many VHS movies, because they knew it would get people talking. However the level of violence is probably more severe than most movies today. The girls make a run for it and are pursued by the cops who think they were part of the shooting. What follows is typical 80's people on the run stuff, but with a heavily sleazy angle of violence against women and drugs. Its almost a woman in prison movie, just minus the prison.

    Entertaining, but not if you want an easy watch.
