"IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BETTER IDEA, IT REALLY ISN'T WORTH BOTHERING"
An excerpt from the chapter on The Fury, in the 2001 book Brian De Palma - Conversations with Samuel Blumenfeld and Laurent Vachaud, with the help of Google Translate:
The scene of the kidnapping of the two cops very quickly turns into a car chase and you don't feel very comfortable filming it.Because I hate that. We've seen hundreds of them and it's very boring to watch. The best chase ever filmed is in William Friedkin's French Connection. If you don't have a better idea, it really isn't worth bothering to film a new one. I'm not like James Cameron, I don't enjoy filming endless chases with trucks, on bridges, it's not my style. It was my first time filming a car chase in The Fury. I took it as a challenge but quickly hated it. So I placed it in the fog to stylize it as much as possible. Because filming in a car, there is nothing more boring. What are you going to show? A guy moving the steering wheel, reflections on the windshield. There aren't many solutions to make it interesting.
