Certain Fury is a 1985 American action/drama film directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal, starring Tatum O'Neal and Irene Cara, who also wrote and performs the title track.

Scarlett (Tatum O'Neal) is a hardened street kid who supports herself with prostitution and drug dealing.

Meanwhile, Tracy's father, Dr. Freeman (Moses Gunn) unsuccessfully tries to convince Lt. Speier (George Murdock) that his daughter wasn't involved in the shooting.

While waiting for back-up, the police officer lights a cigarette and inadvertently sparks an explosion of sewer gas.

Scarlett takes her to the apartment of Sniffer (Nicholas Campbell), a casual boyfriend of hers who produces pornography and sells drugs.

Meanwhile, Lt. Speier makes an arrangement with Rodney; if he assists in Scarlett and Tracy's apprehension, four of his criminal associates will be released from jail.

They shoot into the door while Scarlett and Tracy flee with Sniffer, Rodney's henchmen, and the police on their trail.

While Scarlett negotiates a drug deal, an exhausted Tracy lies down and attempts to sleep.

Outside, Rodney's henchman set fire to the drug den as they are unwilling to enter.

Tracy then suggests that she and Scarlett run to the mountains, seek employment as waitresses and set up house together.

At that moment, the police, who had the newspaper headline published as a ruse, and Tracy's father arrive on the scene.

On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 4 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating "Overwhelming Dislike".
