Apologies for the delay! We had an absolute blast with the mystery and intensity of this movie!
Thank you all for your support!
You ROCK! 🤟😁 no apologies needed
No apologies. Necessary.
It's alright, your videos are awesome pal.
Lol, when I saw the video drop I thought "Ooh sweet, early TBR Schmitt today!"
One of my favorite movies
Them: "His friend is a badass."
"I know....I like him."
All of us watching: 🤣🤣🤣
It's Jeroen Krabbé. Odds are good he's either a villain(The Living Daylights, The Fugitive) or a jerk(The Prince of Tides).
@@doughbafett He was a great guy in "Immortal Beloved." That's about it.
@@doughbafett He's also Spock's father in the Star Trek remake movies.
This is one of the best movies of Harrison Ford's career. It was nominated for best picture in 1994.
And brought back Tommy Lee Jones right along with Harrison Ford, 2 for the price of one movie. 🎟
@@yt45204 yup
It came out in 1993 but was nominated in 1994
@@yt45204 Yea, pretty rough year when Philadelphia didn't even get a best picture nomination, and frankly that's not even a travesty. Schindler's List, The Fugitive, In the Name of the Father, the Piano, the Remains of the Day, Philadelphia, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, In the Line of Fire, The Firm, the Age of Innocence, and a few more on to of that.
And came out in 1993
Tommy Lee Jones won best supporting actor for his role in this movie. The whole movie is so great it's just a solid gold home run, and just holds up so well over the passage of time. I was so excited when I saw this movie being made cuz I remember watching the reruns with my family as a kid. Excellent reaction . Please watch the sequel, U.S. Marshalls.
Its been years since I've watched US Marshalls... I know what I'm going to do tomorrow
One thing I noticed upon rewatching is, it subtley made it episodic, it was so innovative. Like, when he's walking on the train tracks, into that dark tunnel, you could just imagine the end credits playing. and then another episode ends at the hospitals' "howz the kid doing","he'll live", smiles, cut to end credits. Next episode begins "One thing I don't get about Kimble coming here to the hospital". The easter parade is the ending of another episode. Y'now? Like a subtle homage/tip of the hat/easter egg to it's origins. It's so beautiful.
Robert Downey Jr is in U.S. Marshalls too, solid follow up
Yes definitely watch U.S. Marshall's.
@@Camuska Get to see a nice young Robert Downey Jr.
"I'm kind of surprised he ran!...if he was innocent...he seemed like a very by-the-book type of guy..." HE WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH BY LETHAL INJECTION!!! 😂
lol I’m just imagining him being “by the book”, sitting down by the wreckage twiddling his thumbs until the cops show up, then saying “oh hey guys. I didn’t kill my wife!”, expecting them to be all like “oh okay bud, sorry for the mixup!”
Julianne Moore’s part largely got cut. She was supposed to be Ford’s love interest but they decided it was best to not have a romance outside of Kimball’s love for his deceased wife.
That's interesting, I never knew that. That was definitely the better choice, imo.
Yeah that would have been a bad decision giving him a love interest while searching for his wife's killer
It would help explain how he could afford to get new clothes and rent a hotel room. The one thing about this movie that always bugged me is they don't explain how Kimble pays for anything while he's trying to find the one-armed man. Nichols doesn't give him much money.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks!
I'm glad. I find the love story the most boring part of most movies and hate when they wedge one in.
They made a kinda sequel, called “U.S. Marshals” with Tommy Lee and his team reprising their roles. The protagonist is played by Wesley Snipes, however. Worth a watch ;-)
Yeah they definitely should react to it as well
Not quite as good as this one.
Definitely watch it
Robert Downey Jr is in it too!
Is Snipes on the run for not paying his taxes?
32:20 The funny thing is there's an episode of Scrubs where Zach Braffs character is watching the Fugitive and finds out the janitor was a failed actor when sees him in this scene.
Harrison Ford has been in many great movies but IMO this is one of his best. Tommy Lee Jones in peak form as well.
to me the Indiana Jones series is his best but this movie was awesome
Personally, I loved his portrayal of Jack Ryan Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games. Two of my favorites with Ford. Also Airforce One is just a classic for being so silly but fun nonetheless.
Witness IMO
Hollywood Homicide is his best film, but this one is definitely up there.
I agree - I was blown away by Ford's performance at the beginning with the questioning-turned-interrogation & the nuance he brought in general to the character. I was expecting just another gruff Han or Indiana (not to say those characters don't have dimensions, they absolutely do) but the range of sensitivity and heartache Ford portrayed was captivating. Can't say enough about Tommy Lee Jones either, he's always a delight, but there was so much going on under the surface as he shouted, shot, and cracked some great one liners, you wanted to know more about him & could imagine his depths to the point that when the end came & he was so caring, it was the perfect kind of surprise - the kind that makes total sense if you're paying attention. Lot of substance in this movie that added to the viewing experience, at least for me. I think if anyone else were in those roles, the story would have suffered. It doesn't get clearer than that as to how important what Ford & Jones brought to the characters elevated the quality of the entire experience from a good story to an unforgettable film.
This movie was based on TV show from 1963-1967. You didn't see the one -armed man till last episode in 1967.
The show had him looking for actual killer... helping people along the way. Lot of close calls . The final episode had 30 million watching .
Which was loosely based on the Sam Shepard murder trial.. It was the “bushy haired” man there..
I was a fan of the series as a kid. I really didn't expect a two-hour movie to do it justice, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how they did it.
It was the first TV series to have a finale.
The one-armed man (character name Fred Johnson) appeared in many episodes throughout the series, not just the finale. Kimball almost had him a number of times and kept tracking him throughout the show.
The series finale was the highest rated TV show for many years, until the Mash finale and the Dallas Who shot JR? episode.
U.S. Marshalls is a sequel to The Fugitive also staring most of this cast, But Wesley Snipe's is the Fugitive. You two should definitely react to it!!
It felt like a more action-oriented version of the Fugitive, but not like.. not like crazy action level. Just more action.
RDJ is also in it but I don't think US Marshall's is good.
That movie is good.
You need to see it just for Tommy Lee Jones cocking his glock when dressed head to toe as a chicken mascot.
Yeah. If you enjoy this movie, you'd enjoy U.S. Marshalls too.
These are the gold standard of reaction videos. They use just the right parts of the source material, to stay copyright friendly without just talking constantly to avoid automatic ID of the audio, or only showing the parts where they think they said something clever. Soooooo many channels can't get ANY of these right!
I remember going into this movie so psyched for Harrison Ford…and finishing it loving Tommy Lee Jones even more. He was so freaking great in this.
I heard an interview with Harrison he said the only time he was actually together with TLJ was the final scene.
@@stevemd6488 That can't be accurate. They had the scene in the drainage tunnel.
@@doughbafett I'm just repeating what he said.
@@doughbafett they probably filmed that at the same time
One thing that needs to be remembered... the entire train scene happened with a real train. As far as I know, there are still remains left of the train and bus crash still on location. Now that would have been entirely CGI.
That's one detail that just makes this a fantastic movie.
Dillsboro, NC. You can still see the wreckage. And Bryson City, NC is where he drives the ambulance through town.
Some of the shots were done with a miniature, but only a handful.
That’s why films nowadays lack any soul
@@-M0LE Strong disagree. There are plenty of more recent movies with "soul"
@Adam Porter Yup! They realized that it was cheaper to buy a broken locomotive and crash it, then do the scene with cgi. If I remember correctly, it was actually Harrison Ford doing that jump off of the bus.
This is 1 of the few movies I can watch over & over again & never get tired of it 😃👍🏾
Tommy Lee Jones won the Best Supporting actor award at the Oscar's for this.
Just a brilliant film. Harrison Ford is great but Tommy Lee Jones on absolute top form as the ruthlessly competent marshal.
“We’re always fascinated when we find leg irons with no legs in them!” One of my favourite movie lines ever.
I’ve seen this movie at least 30x, but only now did I hear Jeroen Krabbé’s character say “thanks for the loaner, here are the keys”! Idk how I missed that all these years
Great movie! There is a semi-sequel(not with HF) to this movie called “US marshals” staring Tommy Lee Jones and the rest of the team
Wesley Snipes
Other way round actually. US Marshalls was a semi sequel to this (it occurs after in the story's timeline and was made after)
"He saved you're life and you immediately snitch on him..." Welp, that snitch is literally about to get stitches!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 ... Allright I'll see myself out now.
8:23 He really had no choice. He's already been convicted of the crime and sentenced to die. Other than an appeal, the only card he can really play is to go on the run to try to find out for himself what happened and expose it to clear his name.
Exactly, there's no guarantee that any appeal would get his conviction overturned based on the available evidence.
Although odds are good he'd be in jail 20 years or so before they actually executed him -- or just kept him in Death Row for the rest of his life.
@@darthroden The death penalty was put on moratorium in Illinois in 2000 and eventually abolished. So if Kimble had gone back to prison, he would've been there the rest of his life without parole.
@@doughbafett Probably in maximum security too, and being a rich guy in prison I wouldn't bank on that NOT being a death sentence.
Just remember, not only did Dr. Kimble lose his wife...but he had to listen to her death in court....that had to be rough.
Accused of a crime he didn't commit, Richard Kimball still helps people he meets along the way while pursued by a U.S. Marshall.
This was the basis for a very very popular TV show in 1963 that had the highest rated show ever with its finale when he finally confronted the one armed man.
The man on the run style of storytelling influenced many shows after that including The Incredible Hulk.
David Janssen played the lead role for 5 yers (1963-1967) in "The Fugitive". In 1996 TV Guide ranked him number 36 on its 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time list. He was an outstanding actor.
Did you just copy/paste Wikipedia? 😂😂😂
@@dustywaynemusic6297 no I was inspired by Mr Schmitt at 21:48 when he said something similar. It's the basic way the show was always described.
ua-cam.com/video/S5YAg-oVpE0/v-deo.html
@@dustywaynemusic6297
If it is copy/paste, it is more likely for the comment to be read by more people than those who would bother to click on a link (although, starting the comment with "From Wikipedia:" would be better form)
This movie was a meme before memes. Everyone knew the 'It wasn't me! It was the one armed man!' line and it's parodied all over pop culture in the following years.
That was from Jim Carrey. A lot of remembered "misquotes" are actually quotes from someone else misquoting films.
It was such a hugely popular movie back then. It's cool that it holds up.
Harrison Ford has a great overall movie catalogue. I would highly recommend Witness and Patriot Games. They're both excellent movies.
Don't forget "Presumed Innocent." Another great flick with a tremendous cast.
Despite putting on an iconic performance, Tommy Lee Jones gets a lot of flak for winning Best Supporting Actor in the 66th Academy Awards. The other nominees that year were Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth in "Schindler's List", John Malkovich as Mitch Leary in "In the Line of Fire", Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie Grape in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", & Pete Postlethwaite as Giuseppe Conlon in "In the Name of the Father". On top of that, there were snubs such as Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in "Tombstone", Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern in "Schindler's List", Sean Penn as David Kleinfeld in "Carlito's Way", certain actors in "True Romance", etc...
Jones is great but for me it was always Fiennes with his role for the Oscar. He brought a monster on screen, I was scared by him. And to think about that this man was real! Sometimes I think they didn't give him the award because it was the role of a Nazi.
@@cherrypi_b Many claim that Kilmer should've won that year, though most never bother to lookup the nominees.
I remember seeing this twice in theaters in the summer of 1993. That summer we had some great releases. The Firm, Last Action Hero, Cliffhanger, Jurassic Park, and of course, this masterpiece.
The Firm was really good. Excellent score too.
Don't forget In the Line of Fire.
I saw this movie tripping balls, it was so damn intense. I felt like I was in the movie. 😂it was life or death.
Tripping balls??????
Please consider submitting "Witness" to your patreons to vote on. This is one of Harrison Ford's earlier dramatic films outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Ford is a detective hiding from criminals among the Amish Pennsylvania, and shows the contrast of cultures in the world he lives in versus the Amish woman (Kelly McGillis) he falls in love with. This movie earned eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Ford, and winning Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.
If you're looking for a hidden gem of a mini series. I'd recommend V the mini series from '83.
Yes one of the best mini series ever. A gem .
One of the best mini-series from the 80s. That and the follow up mini-series "V: The Final Battle".
Yes, I recommend it too!
I for one, welcome Diana as being our new overlord. 😍
@@v8matey jane babler was so hot . Especially with the longer hair in the series.
So glad you did this one. Was hoping Tommy lee’s delivery on this line would make the cut:
“I know it, Richard. I KNOW it.”
So good!!!
The “doghouse outhouse” bit is fun too.
Midnight run is so criminally underrated.
You have to give Midnight Run a chance as well. It's a fun feel good adventure movie and one of Jerry Smith's favorite movies.
Midnight Run is such an underrated movie. It's really good.
One thing i have always loved about this movie, is the dynamics of the team that are chasing Kimble. The dedication, respect and work banter is so great and you get a really good sense of a top professional team.
Witness - 1985 w/ harrison ford is f'n FANTASTIC .... great thriller that not a lot of people have seen / do reactions to. high high recc to anyone who reads this!!!!!!
This was the first Harrison Ford movie I saw growing up on VHS!
Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Douglas, Nick Nolte and Jeff Bridges were considered for Kimble.
Jon Voight and Gene Hackman were considered for Gerard till Jones was cast.
Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Supporting Actor for Jones.
The train/Bus Crash was done in one take! And it was a real train they crashed!
Surprised OJ wasn't considered and then not chosen because he'd never kill his wife.
Someone do a deep fake of all those actors over Harrison Ford's body please!
@@whodat1399 I know, I didn't get to see Star Wars till later. Lol! I did watch Indiana Jones on NBC.
This film was based on the 1960s TV series called The Fugitive starring David Janssen as Richard Kimble. It ran for 4 seasons until 1967. The original TV show was inspired by the Les Miserables story between Jean Valjean & Javert. I remember my family watching it when I was just a kid. I was too young for the originals but I caught the re-run on TV in the 80s.
It was also inspired by the real life Dr. Sam Shepard case.
Woah in german the dialogue at 12:36 in the sewer has such a different tone!
"I didn't kill my wife!"
"I don't care!".
In the german version Tommy Lee Jones answers "Das ist mir scheiß egal!" which means "I don't give a Sh*t!". This painted him in such a different light, making him just someone who takes his job very seriously, like "I don't care what you did, you are a fugitive now and I am here to bring you back, the rest is none of my business."
Sometimes its super weird to hear the original texts for the first time, but often its a whole new and fun experience!
And just to throw that bit of useless knowledge in: Germany has a very high quality for localizations/translations and voice acting, so in 99% of the cases you are fine with just watching the dubbed version.
Great review. Thought Sam was going to fall out of her chair at the jump scare. Made me laugh. Can’t wait for Fugitive 2.
2Fast2Fugitive?
The reason Nichols helped Kimble: Frankly, given Kimble's circumstances, he didn't see Richard as a threat. It was all business about making sure Kimble didn't derail Provasic. Nichols actually liked Kimble and if Kimble would just have concentrated on running, Nichols could live with that. But once Kimble starts putting the pieces together, Nichols not only has to kill Richard but needs to know what his proof against Provasic is and make sure that was destroyed. A crappy friend but 'It was just business'
Nice analysis
Samantha has some of THE best reactions! Absolute gold.
I try not to post film facts because I ramble but after TBR said "this is moving quick" at the start, I could not resist. I always dug this but I'll keep it short. The editors helped this movie so much. original plan in the early cut had the bus crash happening at about the half hour/45 minute mark. The editors had the idea the use flashbacks and crime scene photos all cut together and ended up with the bus crash happening right after the credits. The result is a film that hits the ground running and never lets up. The best of its kind. This comment was originally like 20 other facts, but I checked myself before I wriggedy wrecked myself.
Honestly, I think the most unbelievable part of this movie is Kimball getting the death penalty. His lawyer must have been incredibly incompetent. Any half-capable lawyer would have been able to provide reasons for the circumstantial evidence - and the prosecution had nothing more than that. Even prison time might not happen if the lawyer was any good.
Well one of the main pieces of evidence was that his finger prints were on the gun and bullets. Also the fact that there was no break in detected. Finally the fact the wife stated his name even though they took it out of context was what sealed the case.
The Roger Ebert review had your same thought re: the trial scene. He ended up feeling more comfortable viewing it as a nightmare, from the film style to the results. Then he moved onto the rest of the film as something separate. (The lawyer was played by the father of John and Joan Cusack.)
This is a movie... "The Fugitive" escaping his Death Sentence is much more Dramatic for the Audience...
I assume it's the same lawyer that got Cameron Poe in "Con Air" 10 years in federal prison for self-defense.
@@TheYakusoku Exact-A-Mundo!!!
Richard Kimball is a DOCTOR. He swore an Oath to Do No Harm. That's why he helped the kid in the hospital as 'Desmondo'.
He helped the kid because he's a good man that was capable of doing so, not because he was oathbound to do it.
the fugitive is one of my all time favorite films.
but have yall seen *children of men* ???
Thanks guys my dad loved the original tv series, he said it was so popular than during last episode there no traffic in our city . ( not a car on the road ) everyone was watching it ) he took me to see this . When i was a kid . Loved it
Until MASHs beat it, it was the most watched TV show finale in American history.
I was a waiter at a restaurant in the same building as a major hotel in downtown Chicago when this was being filmed. Every morning, a friendly couple came in every morning for breakfast. He was very particular about having his toast served HOT.
Turns out, they were Daniel Roebuck (who played Biggs) and his fiancé (now ex-wife) Kelly. Since Kelly had nothing to do while Daniel was working, we hung out - and visited Daniel on set.
I met Tommy Lee Jones -
Daniel: "Tommy Lee, this is my friend Dan. He's an actor here in Chicago" [at the time, not anymore, no, you've never seen me in anything]
Tommy Lee: "Yeah? Good" [But his tone wasn't complimentary, so I'm not really sure what he meant, but that was all he said to me.]
And I met Harrison Ford, which needs a bit more set-up -
Daniel had many scenes with Tommy Lee Jones, but very few (only one, I think) with Harrison Ford. And while Tommy Lee Jones is a movie star, Harrison Ford is a MOVIE STAR, so I don't think Daniel was comfortable just casually introducing me. But I was on-set for the scene at the convention where Kimball confronts Nichols. In between takes, Harrison (because we're on a first name basis now) was at Craft Services, and Daniel said "go say hello if you want, he's super nice". So I did. Sort of.
I grew up in SoCal and I've had many encounters with fame. This is the only time I was star-struck. As I awkwardly walked up to the table, he was eating chips and salsa.
Harrison (noticing me gawking at him): "They need more chips."
My brain frantically trying to think of something to say: Oh my God, it's Harrison Ford, Harrison Freaking Ford, he's Han Solo AND Indiana Jones! That's it - Indiana! Say something about Indiana!
What I said: "I've never even been to Indiana."
THAT was my brilliant response to "They need more chips."
Daniel, Kelly and I stayed in touch long enough for me to be a guest at their wedding, but that's the last time I saw either of them. Kelly and I may have chatted on the phone once or twice. A short but fun friendship, forever treasured.
That jump scare reaction was A+++. I can't recall a better one from you guys. Here's an idea: You should definitely make a jump scare compilation video. What a great way to promote the channel! Even set up a competition to rank them from 10 to 1. Then put out a top 10 video!
I've been meaning to check this out since the episode of Scrubs when JD recognizes the Janitor in the movie, finally watched it when you posted it on your schedule. Favorite scene was the part in the hospital with the little boy but I loved the chemistry between Ford & Jones and that scene at the end was downright tender! Such a sweet moment between the characters. And favorite line was definitely the comment about the ponytail!! Only complaint was not enough Julianne Moore, but I'll let it slide ;)
If you're up for more intense but great paranoia/mystery movies I'd recommend Three Days of the Condor and Marathon Man, both from the '70s and phenomenal. Also just checked out Point Break & cannot wait for you guys to watch more Keanu movies! That & Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure are must-sees.
Loved your guys' reaction as always, great commentary & you guys are so sharp!! I didn't even pick up on how Kimble would've known about the adjustment date on the prosthetic arm until Samantha said it. Great catch.
Julianne Moore was supposed to have a bigger part as a developing love interest, but they dropped it for several reasons, time and it didn't really fit.
Apparently there was originally supposed to be a subplot involving a bit of a romance/flirtation between Kimble & Julianne Moore's character, but dropped it because it was slowing things down and they didn't want to lose momentum, since the speed of the pacing is pretty essential to this movie.
that makes sense.. I thought the opening credits order goes by how much they were paid.. hence, why its referred to as the "billing" ..
I'm glad they took it out because it would've been weird behavior for a man trying find his wife's killer.
Awesome review! Now you need to watch Leslie Neilsen's send up of this movie, called Wrongfully Accused. Suffice it to say that they have a lot of fun with the train and bus scene! :D
I was just going to suggest that 😅
Yes indeed 🤣
Kind of surprised how many here aren't recommending it
*’The Fugitive’ Old guy hitting another Old guy with a chair* “Greatest jump scare of all time” 😂 I wouldn’t have considered that to be on anyone’s shortlist
Under Siege is another great action movie from the 90's, directed by Andrew Davis as well.
As well as the action films 'Code Of Silence' (1985) & 'Above The Law' (1988) also directed by Andrew Davis...
TLJ is hillarious as a villian in that.
Fun fact: this was the first foreign film that (Red) China allowed to play in its movie theaters the year after it was released in the United States, in 1995.
I was born in 1971 and I still remember the series of Fugitive in the 70's. David Jensen played Dr. Kimble successfully. Loved the show back then and this movie is a very good cinematic adaptation of the original series. Great reaction. 👏
Thank you so much. I went to my mother's memorial yesterday and it was rough. This happens to be one of her favorite movies and you two happen to be some of my favorite reactors so thank you so so much for posting. I also got to watch this on the big screen and I liked it as much then as I do now. Thank you for sharing. 🐾🐾🍻
Loving this reaction vid so far, it's so much fun how quickly it manages to grip you.
I just had to add, it's SO ironic you saying how much you wish they turned into a buddy-cop movie... so I hope you put Midnight Run back into the mix, it really does deserve another shot at a watch.
Oh, and Ronin just because it's good, lol ;)
Midnight Run is fantastic.
Midnight Run for sure. Amazing movie that deserves a lot more reactor attention!
@@marcuscato9083 Yeah... I just came across someone a week ago that had watched it and at some point I think they were saying that they kept forgetting to actually say something in their reaction vid because they were just sitting there with a big ole grin on their face the whole time. I just love movies that do that. They're not necessarily must-see movies, but as they said, they were like comfort food. That's perfect. The Sure Thing... that's another gem.
"These guys are on it."
That's because they're US Marshals. They are VERY good at what they do.
Me and my mom met Harrison Ford and Danny Glover in Witness in 1984 when they were doing the movie Witness I was only 9 at the time. My mom and me waited 2 hours until he was done shooting the parking lot scene. Danny Glover came out 1 1/2 later listening to my mom talking about her world wide missionary travels. While I whirled around in circles with Danny Glover and my mom. It was Danny Glover's first major role. You should defintely see it.
alright alright alright
@@justindenney-hall5875 so that's what i'll call you. dude, or duder, or el dudereno.
@@justindenney-hall5875 i dig your style too, man. 😎
The scene with Julianne Moore was great.
When Samantha says “oh shit” in the first 6 min 🤣
The French Connection is a must watch. Also Assault on Precinct 13 and Ronin are great and worth watching. Can't believe these scored so low.
My grad advisor Juan Ramirez has a bit role in this film. He was hired during the time he advised me. He's the guy reading the newspaper who snitches on Ford/Kimball.
No joke, that guy's performance in this was great!
This movie was based on the American television series
"The Fugitive" which ran from 1963 to 1967. The last episode was the
most watched TV episode in American history up to that point. 72% of American
television sets which were turned on when the episode aired were tuned in to
The Fugitive.
It is widely believed that the show was based on the real
life case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who was wrongfully convicted of his wife’s
murder. The creator of the show denied this, possibly for legal reasons.
Julianne Moore is ranked so high in the credits because she
originally had a much larger role in the film but it was almost entirely cut in
editing. Originally, she befriended him after he saves the kid and they start a
romantic relationship, but this was thought be in poor taste given that it was
so soon after his wife’s murder.
Why can't they make a BIG movie like this anymore. No CGI, no sissies in colorful PJs, no superpowers, a real story with great actors that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
But it will come back
The guy playing the One Armed Man is actor Andreas Katsulas (RIP) who played Ambassador G'Kar in Babylon 5.
This reaction was totally worth the wait. I knew you would love this movie. Thanks for reacting.
If I remember right Julianne Moore was a fairly new actress who had not broken through yet when she was cast in the movie. And started to between being cast and this movie releasing. So the film's marketing proped her name up there, even though her roll was so minimal
The foreshadowing when the Marshalls are talking to Dr Nichols, as he's saying how smart Kimble is,
they ask him 'Is he as smart as you?"
"Smarter"
In one of the flashbacks of the night of the party, Nichols says to Kimble "thanks for the loaner" after using Kimble's car, which pays off at the end. 1:44
May I suggest that you guys consider reacting to the murder mystery, "In the heat of the night" starring Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier. From 1968. Not to be confused with the television which came later. So glad you liked The Fugitive. As a former actor, I am very impressed with your insights and knowledge of film. I've been a subscriber for about a year.
One of my all time favorites
There's another movie called U.S. Marshals, which also has the U.S. Marshal actors in this movie (including Tommy Lee Jones). I loved both of your reactions to this movie!! Thanks for reacting to it!
U.S. Marshals is a spin-off of The Fugitive, as Tommy Lee Jones plays the same character, Sam Gerard.
@@ShayTheValiant same actors reprising his team too
The great thing about this movie, other than just about everything, is that we learn things the same time Richard does, so it unfolds little by little. Really good movie.
Production in 1992 and release in 1993 was very early in Julianne Moores career. She had mostly been in small TV roles and some horror. She was also shooting Bennie and Joon at the same time. The production could kind of tell she was going places so she got upfront billing on the credits as a hopeful payoff when her career explodes (and it did 1995 kicked off the start to a massive amount of roles).
Jane Lynch was also in a similar area in her career, she continued for some time in television and her career really took off in the early-to-mid 2000s.
Basically if you’re working with Harrison and Tommy Lee Jones, your career is going somewhere.
Omg guys I love this movie I watch this on DVD every now and then
You should watch US Marshalls, too. An enjoyable & underrated loosely-based sequel to The Fugitive.
In the movie a question was raised that Dr Kimbal called Sykes from his car phone the night his wife was killed. In one of the first scenes of the movie at the party, Dr Nichols hand keys to Dr Kimbal and said “Thanks for the Loaner” meaning that Dr Nicholson called Sykes to commit the murder
36:23 Some of the reporters were actual Chicago reporters. Lester Holt is seen here in the foreground, back when he had a mustache and was with CBS 2 Chicago.
Please watch the STAR TREK movies 🖖!
There is a movie called The Next Three Days (from 2010), starring Russell Crowe, that would have you two on the edge of your seats. The suspense scenes in the latter half of this film immediately made me think of it.
Agree! I'm also a Pittsburgh Penguins fan which helps! 😁
Guys, this movie was so good that after it ended in the theater it got a standing ovation. I've only seen that like three times in the 30 years plus that I've been going to the movies.
All of the reporters in the ending scene were real Chicago television reporters at the time. And the young black reporter closest to the camera is a young Lester Holt, of NBC Nightly News fame.
When it comes to action, mystery and Harrison Ford, I always recommend "The Witness" or "Frantic". Both are a must watch!
I saw this movie for the first time last year. Was very good.
Primal fear is another good movie that was released around the same time.
That's how you write awesome characters. Everyone loves Richard's 'best friend' at first. Also you're always on both Richard's and Sheriff's side because they're both super likable.
14:56 back in '93 we had a saying "the stranger the better"
it was a different time
I enjoy you guys and the movies you react to. Your reaction seems honest, as opposed to other movie reaction videos where the "reactors" are clearly acting (overacting) for the camera. Keep it up! Lots of fun.
Tommy Lee Jones is one of the greatest actors of his generation. So many great performances by him. Him and Harrison Ford was a force! Like others have said there is a kind of sequel. "U.S. Marshals" with Tommy Lee Jones and the rest of Gerrard's team. Love the reactions!
I also loved him in the Valley of Elah and In The Electric Mist.
"Lonesome Dove" is epic. Him and Robert Duvall are pure magic. Best western ever made IMO.
If Blade Runner didn't exist, this would be my favorite Harrison Ford movie. Its just doesn't slow down, but its not non stop action, it just uses every scene to so effectivly to just pack it in. And the actors are just incredible, they feel so natural and have incredible charisma without being over the top.
I still remember the first time I saw this was with my dad when we had a week of just us and we watched movies every night. As I mentioned it earlier, this was also the same week I first saw Blade Runner. It was a pretty damn good week.
Yes, he’s done so many good ones! The Fugitive was really fun and thrilling, you were rooting for him to keep dodging the cops and solve the mystery but also rooting for Tommy Lee Jones to chase him and almost grab him!
You guys make a great detective team. Also want to point out that I remember when Samantha didn't comment much when she 1st started joining the viewing. Good thing she did. She pointed out, 'Not St. Louis' when the pay phone read 'Illinois".
The special features are worth listening to as it talks about how this movie was out together and different ideas on who would be the one who wanted Kimble dead. Also, there was a romantic relationship between Julianne Moore and Harrison ford that was edited out. Which may be why her name is in the opening credit. I love this movie and watch it at least once a year. Also, the train wreck is still not cleaned up and you can go to North Carolina and see it. Great reaction and I really enjoy your channel. Another great suspense/mystery that is highly underrated is Arlington Road. Please check it out sometime.
This is a great movie brother they make chicago look beautiful 🤩
This was one of those movies that played on TV all the freaking time and it was just so good. Honestly, I know a lot of younger people don't watch TV much, more online or whatever, but TV was a great place to see some of these kinds of movies. Not necessarily the 'blockbuster event of the summer' type movies, but just really solid and entertaining.
Behind the scenes trivia: Harrison Ford tore his ACL while filming a woods chase scene. Ford declined surgery, and was in pain during production. That's why he's constantly limping during chase scenes, because he's trying to put weight in his left leg.
Sweet, I can tell you that "The Fugitive" is one of my most favorite action movie of all time and one of Harrison Ford best film. Thanks to the movie I got into loving the 1960s Classic TV Series and the 2000s Remake TV Series too, plus based on the true story of Dr. Sam Sheppard Case.
Great reaction. Tommy Lee Jones snagged himself an Oscar for his performance. The series finale of the original series was one of the highest rated episodes of all time :)
The Fugitive is one of my all time favorite Harrison Ford movies and action movies and this was based on The Fugitive tv series from the 1960s
Ford was on such a roll at this time with movies like Air Force One, Clear And Present Danger, The Fugitive, Patriot Games.
