Corrected entry: I have watched the film's opening scene a dozen times or so, and I still can't really make out what is happening. Which arabs are shooting which? Are they all after Kirk Douglas or just some? Just how does Douglas character survive that explosion on a boat and after shooting Cassavetes' arm, manage to escape from the beach? Pretty much the story of the whole movie; looks good? Yes. Makes sense? Hardly.
The Fury (1978)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Brian De Palma
Starring: Kirk Douglas, Charles Durning, Carrie Snodgress, John Cassavetes
Continuity mistake: When Robin approaches the Ferris-wheel-type ride with the Arabs on it, there is a closeup of all the light tubes on the central knob going out and exploding. For the rest of the sequence, the lights are still on and unbroken.
Vivian Nuckells: I told you we should have moved to Melrose Park! Harry, this wouldn't be happening if we moved to Melrose Park.

Correction: All the Arabs are working for Cassavete's- though they might not know it. He did it so that he could film it and later use it to enfuriate the son. This would give him added hatred that they could use it against Arabs. Brainwashing. I can't explain the boat.
