FYI, that's not a sewer he goes in, it's a storm drain to keep the tunnel from flooding in heavy rains. All that you'd expect to be in it is water and whatever debris the water washed into it, so it likely wouldn't smell any worse than the tunnel did, and there wouldn't be any human waste in it.
storm drains, much nicer than sanitary sewers.
This is one of the few movies that I can re-watch over and over again. Jones and Ford are just so good in this film. Enjoyed your reaction!
This is one of my favorite movies... Pop it on when I'm cleaning the house. Thanks for reacting to it.. hope you liked it ..
Yup.
The "I don't bargain" line was also ad-libbed by TLJ. He even won an oscar for his performance in this.
The fact that the viewer is routing for both the guy on the run and the guy trying to catch him is what makes this one uniquely great. It's really hard to pull that off as well as it's done here. combine that with really well-developed characters and you've got a classic. I will humbly submit 'The Hunt for Red October'' for consideration as another thriller with similar edge-of-seat drama. Cheers.
when kimble sends that boy into surgery it’s almost like if that’s the last good thing he does before he gets caught he could die a happy man
Fun fact. The FUGITIVE was a TV show that aired in 1963. 30 years later we were ALL excited to see Harrison Ford as Richard Kimble. It was a blockbuster hit. Was a very big deal in 1993. 🎬
Good thing (now) they didn’t go with Alec Baldwin who was up for the role
@@mem1701movies Exactly. I can't see him in this kind of role.
@@mem1701movies "I didn't kill my cinematographer!"
@@carm3d Lol
@Sean H I love the story too. Baldwin wanted 9 million to reprise Jack Ryan and they didn't think he was worth it. Instead of paying 9 million for Baldwin the Producers payed 18 million for Harrison, because he was worth it.
"What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse..."
Fun Fact: The scene where Kimble is running through the St. Patrick's Day parade was not scripted. This was a later addition by Andrew Davis. Davis, a native of the city, really wanted to capture the parade and was granted permission from the mayor's office to film the day of the parade. The entire sequence was shot with a hand-held steady cam. Without rehearsal, Ford and Jones just went out into the crowd and did their thing, with camera operators running around trying to keep up. Ford observed that since his character was keeping a low profile, it meant he himself didn't stand out much and lasted several minutes in the crowd before being recognized.
You can see a person on the street do a double-take when they obviously recognize Harrison.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of your reactions. They're always so upbeat. I love you calling the jumpsuits "onesies". :P
Loved the reaction and your enthusiasm. This film was nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture, but lost to the epic drama Schindler's list. The sequel to this titled "US Marshals" 1998 is actually quite good which stars Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.
Yes US Marshall’s is a must if you enjoyed this
All of Tommy lee Jones cop squad is back for the sequel and I know you loved their dynamic
US Marshalls must be added to your watch list
The cops were watching the guy, you may have missed it, but he called the Fire Department and reported a fire either in his building or the one across the road. When the fire engine pulled up it blocked PD's view of his building and he slipped out the back.
If you like this kind of corporate corruption style movies, another good one is the Pelican Brief, with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington
"...well go think me up some sprinkles!"
Love. This. Flick.
Thanks for that. That was a fun watch with you, yer enthusiasm was so catchy :)
The US Marshall team dynamics really make this movie fun.
Although he may give himself away when he helped the little boy at the hospital he never forgets his oath as a doctor .
I was taking a drink when I heard the line "don't go into the hospital, rub dirt on it." Fortunately I missed my laptop with the spit take that caused.
THE FUGITIVE was a great tv series from 1963-1967 with David Janssen as the good doctor and Barry Morse as Gerard. You may want to check that out some time. In the tv series, Kimble actually saves Gerard's ass a few times. Harrison Ford actually broke his leg during the wreck scene. If you look closely, ge walks with a bit of a limo throughout the movie.
Honestly my favorite Harrison Ford movie. Really underrated IMO
The way he fell down the waterfall looked like a mannequin because it was a literal mannequin lol. Also, I can only recommend Leslie Nelson spoof version of this movie "Wrongfully Accused". It's hilarious.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST "Us Marshals" (1998) 🎬 Tommy Lee Jones & his crew is also in it & Wesley Snipes is the suspect. I'd love to see your reaction to it! Love your videos!!!🥰
...and pre-Iron Man RDJ.
The trouble with that film is it feels like a rehash of the first film.
It's a bit weaker than the Fugitive but still enjoyable overall
Haven't seen film that in a month of Sundays.
An unofficial part two
One of the top films of 1993! An Oscar went to Tommy Lee Jones for this movie!
Another great Harrison Ford movie! "Air Force One"! Also starring Gary Oldman and Glen Close!
The train wreck is exactly where the film crew left it abandoned in Dillsboro, North Carolina.
😮😮😮
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite part is in the tunnel in the dam when Tommy says "I don't care." I've heard that that was an ad lib, but I'm not sure if it relly was or not. Either way, it was a perfect response from TLJ's character.
Definitely the perfect response! I love his character.
Tommy Lee Jones actually won the Oscar for best supporting Actor
Yep, one of the great flicks for sure! Every person in it does an amazing job. I've heard Tommy Lee and Harrison were constantly making tweaks, ad-libbing lines, etc., just goes to show how friggin good they really are! Great vid as always, YTC! 😁😍
The scary thing is that in police work, they often see twisted cases where spouses and family members kill each other, sometimes for no reason at all. The police are required to search every possibility because every possibility has happened before.
What makes Marshal Gerard great, though, is that when the evidence and reason demanded a closer investigation, he didn't hesitate to dig deeper and fond the real villain.
The injury and limp was 100% real, Ford does his own stunts and really hurt his leg in the movie
knee ligament damage that he didnt get fixed until after the filming.
"The Fugitive," much like the classic "Jaws," had script problems for various reasons and so Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford took over the film and saved it. They did massive rewrites and a lot of ad libbed dialog. They even blocked their own scenes.
Spielberg, Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw did the same thing with "Jaws" to save that troubled production.
You cannot say the same for most actors today who just show up, phone it in, and get a fat paycheck.
They had one shot to film the train crashing. It’d cost a lot of time and money to redo it. It was an actual train and track, according to the Director’s audio commentary
The train wreck is still there to this day.
This is one of my favorite Harrison ford films, i saw it when i was a kid in the 90's love Tommy lee Jones and Harrison in terms of casting it really works
There is a sequel to this film titled "U.S. Marshalls." Harrison Ford isn't in it, but Tommy Lee Jones is, playing the same character. I don't think it is as good, but it is still a fun watch.
Awesome movie Westley Snipes plus passenger 57 is another good movie.
Originally, Ford and Lee Jones wanted to swap roles, as they felt Lee Jones as Kimble would be more ambiguous. The studio refused, but Tommy got the Oscar anyway. In a similar vein, David Janssen, the original TV Fugitive, wanted the last scene to show that he was actually the one-armed man. This was also refused.
One of Harrison Ford's best movies.
Great reactions to this film, Eadig!👏You were actually pretty close in your intro with the general plot. This movie was a huge deal when it came out in 1993. It spawned a movie sequel in 1998 where Tommy Lee Jones reprised his role as Gerard in "U.S. Marshals". Also, a short lived TV series in 2000 called "The Fugitive".
Another Fun Trivia Fact- Tommy Lee Jones won the academy award for best supporting actor for this film 🏆
"Rub some dirt in it." - Nox So Subtle, M.D.
I absolutely love your reactions. You are the funnest person to watch movies with.
The transit cop who gets shot was played by Neil Flynn, who later played the Janitor on Scrubs. There's an episode of that show where J.D., the main character, watches The Fugitive on TV and recognizes him in that scene, later revealing a backstory for the Janitor where he was a failed actor who never got another acting gig after The Fugitive. I thought that was a really clever meta moment.
This is a great movie and that dynamic between all those cops in that Marshall's team is one of the best thing in terms of acting I've seen.
Just right off the bat feels like such a team with professionals who have been together forever and have a lot of fun while working.
Left me, in a good way, feeling like I'd have wanted to see more of them all in this movie
All the location shooting in Chicago is a huge treat. Great reaction! 💜✌️
Best Chicago movie or T.V. show ever made. None of them ever get Chicago right. They always either try to make it like New York or L.A. This flick did get it right. The accents, the lingo, the attitude the whole personality of the city was finally captured on film.
FUN FACT: This movie was filmed in two of my old neighborhoods on the South Side of Chicago.
The polish ladies' house where he rents out the basement is on 90th & Houston in South Chicago about a-block-and-a-half from my old grammer school. We used to go see them film after school. I watched them shoot the scene where they raid the house. The brief scene where Kimball is shopping for clothes and then runs across a street was filmed on Commercial Avenue; the street I grew up on.
The one-armed-mans' house is on 112th & Saint Lawrence in Pullman. I trick-or-treated at that house as a kid and worked right down the street in high school.
The Fugitive is an outstanding action thriller that I had forgotten about. Nice choice from your Patreon viewer. On a personal note; I find you to be involuntarily aggressively adorable. Your smile and laughter is a wonderful tonic for a bad day. Thank you for your genuinely lovely personality.
The thing about Harrison Ford, is he always looks good even when scared, facial expressions always add to the drama
When the series ended, the final episode, had the highest amount of viewers, until the final episode M*A*S*H. Last year we had a squadron reunion in North Carolina, and we did several rides, including a ride on top of the dam, that was used in the movie.
I enjoyed how you said "damn" when he was about to jump out into the dam. Nice pun there. Thanks for sharing your movie reaction.
You might want to also consider chain reaction and US Marshals. Chain Reaction was an attempt to do a similar movie but with a few different twists. US Marshals is a sequel that continues Samuel Gerard's adventures as he hunts down yet another fugitive that may be innocent. If you want a movie like this then I highly suggest checking this out.
your reactions and commentary were wonderful. thank you!
Action packed! People already suggested it but also check out "U.S. Marshalls", the "sequel" to this movie.
This is one of my favorite Harrison Ford movies for all the reasons you gave, you know, same 😃 Also, The Witness if you've never seen it, is a fantastic, touching, HF film. You should put that one on your list 👍
One of the greatest thrillers of the '90s. I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. And also origin of one of the greatest moments in the tv show "Scrubs" (@29:14 THE JANITOR!) Another great thriller with TLJ in it is "Double Jeopardy" from 1999, worth watching it.
60's tv show finale episode of The Fugitive ( when one armed man is caught) was biggest tv audience ever, - then beaten by 'Dallas' when we found out - Who Shot JR, which was beaten by last episode of M*A*S*H - which still holds record .
Delightful commentary. Very entertaining. You're a lot of fun (and very sharp). Thanks!!
Just discovered your channel & watched about 5 of your videos back-to-back. Great personality & one of the most beautiful smiles on UA-cam. Good work. 👍
1. Tommy Lee Jones's roommate in college was Al Gore.☹
2. Jones also said he's never had a part he didn't love, AND he doesn't have a job. Just
a hobby that pays very well.😎
3. One of his movies you might like to do is "Under Siege". He's the bad guy.
4. An overlooked movie with Ford is "Witness". It shows his woodworking skills.
Blown Away is a mad-bomber thriller with Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges. It was released the same year as Speed and often gets overlooked. It's low-key one of the better actioneers of the '90's. People and things get blown up real good. Lol
Surely Pharmaceutical companies would never lie...... 😂😂
I've been watching other reactors and you are by far the most funniest, down to earth keep making vids girl you have "it"
When he jumped off the dam I was expecting you to say "Guuuurrrrlll". Another great reaction!
Sykes called the Fire Dept. and snuck out of his apartment in the confusion. That's why the cops weren't tracking him.
In the interrogation scene, Ford didn't want to know what questions he'd be asked, so that his answers and reactions would be genuine. I think it worked.
Something I read ages ago: if someone denies knowing anyone, they'll say, "I've never seen him before" - if they add "in my life", they're lying.
Adding to that
Sometimes if a witness says they saw someone. Doing a 5 person photo panel with no person of interest. A majority of witnesses feel compelled to identify someone to avoid embarrassment of what they saw.
Just further evidence that witness accounts can be hazy.
Not gonna lie (even though it wasn’t needed) I kinda wanted to see a scene where the courts have to formally exonerate Dr. Kimble and the CPD having to look at him again knowing they screwed up cause they didn’t bother to look elsewhere for a suspect and saw him as the culprit. Hated how immediately they saw that he did it and gave the hint they weren’t gonna bother with what he was saying to them.
So happy you enjoyed it. Good reaction. Really like the review and how excited you were after.
Another Fun Trivia Fact- The Fugitive TV series also additionally loosely inspired 'The Incredible Hulk' (1977-1982) TV series according to Hulk show producer Kenneth Johnson....
One reason this movie works so well is that the main characters compliment each other. Gerard is a demonstrative, highly experienced law enforcement officer with a team to assist him and lots of resources, while Kimble is a quiet, clever amateur working alone. And they're both absolutely determined to achieve their respective goals. "U.S. Marshals" lacks that sort of balance, as well as having a far too complicated plot.
@16:30 Gerrard pauses before looking into the other room after firing on Copeland, because he didnt know for sure he hadnt also killed Deputy Newman.
never lose that upbeat energy! you have wonderful enthusiasm and appreciation for these great, classic films.
keep it up! 👍
There’s a sequel to this called U.S. Marshals which has Tommy Lee Jones’ character and his team back to chase another fugitive (Wesley Snipes)
One of the better adaptations of a hit TV series. This one is based on ABC TV's The Fugitive (1963-1967) starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble. In the series, a one-armed man played by the one-armed actor Bill Raisch kills Kimble's wife. Kimble is wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder and sentenced to death but escapes from a train wreck and, week after week, tries to find the real killer while avoiding the police and Lt. Gerard played by Barry Morse. The series was nominated for five Emmy Awards and won the Emmy for Outstanding Dramatic Series in 1966.
You might really enjoy following this up with a sequel/spin-off movie, "US Marshalls". It does not follow up on the Richard Kimball story, but rather on Tommy Lee Jones and his team. Another excellent story.
the train scene was filmed at a cost of 1.5 million dollars (1993) and took 100 people 2 months to set up It was done in one take using 13 cameras and 3 of the cameras were destroyed to date this remains still one of the most iconic scenes in motion picture history
and the Parade scene was done during a real St. Patrick's day parade believe it or not
23:06 i think you missed the moment that he spots Kimball 😢
I actually cried at the end of the movie because I felt sorry for the wife and how she was lost in the grand conspiracy story. That being said, that's how stories are told.
In 1993 the 2 biggest movies of the year were Jurassic Park and The Fugitive. It's all everyone talked about. "Did you see those Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park!" "Did you see Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones In The Fugitive!" They were the perfect summer blockbusters. One gave us something we had never scene before, real looking Dinosaurs. The other was Harrison Ford in his prime! That train, bus crash on the big screen is AMAZING!!
richard Kimble and sam Gerard had something of a cat and mouse bromance.
you can tell that given different circumstances they could definitely be friends.
when kimble calls Gerard leading him and the other US marshals to Sykes’ home they were almost leaning on one another for info.
There was a series with David Jansen back in the days called " The Fugitive ".
The cop on the subway, was in the tv show, scrubs! He lets his arch nemesis in the show, accidentally/on purpose, that he was once a famous Hollywood actor, and he played that character, in the movie!!
Yes, that was a literal manaquin that did the fall at the dam.🙂🤘
Edit: That was Joey "Pants", of Matrix and Sopranos fame.
Armed robbery 2 funny 😆 😄 🤣 watching u figuring it out as the movie progresse was awesome
A rare instance of a movie with _two_ protagonists on opposite sides of the law.
Harrison Ford has been in a lot of movies that aren't Star Wars and Indiana Jones and I feel like those other roles don't get nearly the love they deserve. Try seeing Witness sometime. That's another of his top notch movies.
17:39 she loves your personality Mr Jones...
you have been firmly planted in the friend zone
don't forget, there is a sequel and it's worth watching as well
Other great movies by director Andrew Davis are: Above The Law, Under Siege, Collateral Damage, The Package, Code Of Silence, The Guardian, A Perfect Murder, Chain Reaction & Holes.... 🎥🍿
Now you've gotta watch U.S. Marshals. Sequel to The Fugitive. Tommy Lee Jones and his team back as the same characters. Different case. No Harrison Ford. Wesley Snipes & Robert Downey Jr. It'd be interesting to hear your comparison of the two.
22:26 My dad and I would use "hinky" to each other as a joke for years after seeing this because we thought that scene was funny.
Fun Fact the Director Andrew Davis during the Parade Scene never told anyone involved with the Parade that that they were Filming There except for the Director of the Parade so the looks of the Parade goers shock was genuine
I'll be honest. I came to watch your reactions. I stayed to stare at your face. Beautiful.
That's extremely correct.
Well, now that you've seen _The Fugitive,_ I think you'll appreciate the movie _Wrongfully Accused,_ which came out five years later. It's a parody, and a _really_ good one.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this film and will investigate others you've done. But I also confess that you also wear me out with your constant banter. I say that with a smile on my face . . . that you put there. You're fun. Keep up the good work.
gerard’s personally is just as blunt as a spoon
I saw this in the theater when I was a little kid. Really great movie.
I think after the original Indy and Star Wars Triology this is Harrison Fords best Movie.
Great Reaction :)
Want more suspense? "Rear Window" from 1954 starring James Stewart and directed by Alfred Hitchcock could be a good watch for you. Can't wait for your next video 😎
The Package (1989) Gene Hackman and Chain Reaction (1996) Keanu Reeves both of them same director Andrew Davis
Any film where Tommy Lee Jones is pursing someone is worth watching lol - The Fugitive, The Client, Double Jeopardy and OF COURSE No Country For Old Men - he's just great in everything ;)
This was a pretty good film when it came out. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, but the only win belonged to Tommy Lee Jones for Best Supporting Actor.
19:51 "I _love_ it when I get these things right!"
😄 Yeah! That was cool!
This is just a really good movie. I first saw this sometime in 1994, when I was a child, and I didn’t understand everything that was going on in the movie at the time. As an adult, I’ve watched this movie a few times and yes this movie goes into the top 100 best movies I’ve ever seen.
And yes, you are very authentic and approaching movies as a product of their time, really enjoyable to watch these reactions of yours.
NOW you Have to watch “US Marshals” !!! Tommy Lee Jones character and his team are on a new case. It also stars Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.
The train wreck was done for real. The only visual effects in that whole scene were compositing Harrison Ford in when he jumps off the bus and runs in front of the derailed engine. They actually rammed a real train (being pushed from behind, the 2 engines seen on screen had the motors removed) into a real bus. 3 of the 20-odd cameras they had filming it were destroyed (curiously enough, the one inside the bus wasn't, it continued to film for another 8 minutes until the film ran out). You can still visit the crash site in Sylva, NC. The wrecked bus and train engines are still there (they've been sitting there rusting away for the last 30 years, but you can still see them). I have a business trip to Nashville planned for September, and since I've already planned the trip back is going to take 2 days, I'm seriously considering a side trip.
US Marshalls is an indirect sequel to this movie, but has the same police guys. Definitely a must see, the suspense and action is top notch.
If you loved this one you should love Harrison Ford in "Witness" too.
