...that--assuming that we in the audience are all voyeurs--and in his later days would have sent her to his legendary shower. DePalma, characteristically, goes further. In one of many representative sequences in The Fury, Robin (Andrew Stevens), Lewis's jealous lover, a telekinetic teenager who makes people bleed at will, mentally jerks her into the air, blood pouring from her eyes, nose, and mouth, and as she moans and gurgles begins to spin her around, whirling her faster and faster until her sprays of blood spatter the walls and lampshades.

But Laker's heart does not bleed for the big boys. Through their governments, they have thrown one obstacle after another in his way.
