Crazy to think that this film went in to production without a finished script and was completed in record time and turned out to be a classic. Shows the talent on top form.
Totally agree! They never explain it all all at once. You just have to make up your mind thorughout the movie. And at the outset you sometimes doubt the evidence, just like a law enforcer would!
A gold standard in movie making. This movie did one of my favorite things perfectly. All the supporting characters look, talk and act like they would be real people doing those jobs. It always feels authentic. Ford and Jones are masterful in their chemistry, the movie doesnt work without it. Like The Shawshank Redemption, and LA Confidential this movie just got everything right.
Paused the review at the beginning, watched the movie for the first time, now watching the review. What a great thriller. Perfect grounded execution. Brilliant
I did see this in the theatres - I was in college at the time, and the moment that had us howling was "I don't care". It was perfection because you're sort of rooting for both at that point - not hero or villain - mutual antagonists.
One of my favorite films. Miniature work definitely is underrated. Fun note: 90 percent of the dialogue between Tommy Lee Jones and the other Marshals was totally improvised. That's why it feels so natural and hilarious
@@kompanjonac yeah the actors would ad lib on the spot because the dialogue between the Marshal characters didn’t feel like people who worked together. You can even watch some alternate takes on UA-cam with different dialogue because they came up with it on the fly
His post Fugitive work [like Arnie's 'Collateral Damage'] were rather forgettable. He was originally intended to direct 'The Running Man' but was replaced early on.
I’m not even ashamed to admit the amount of time Chris has talked about an “old” movie that I’ve missed and I’ve gone and watched it straight away cos of his videos. I’ve found so many gems cos of him. Thanks Chris for bringing all this to everyone. Love your videos and can’t wait for your movie to come out. So excited for that.
1:23 That Best Supporting Actor category in the 66th Academy Awards was incredibly stacked: Tommy Lee Jones as Samuel Gerard in "The Fugitive" 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" The snubs include 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... Also, a person who has seen this film multiple times should never be jealous of people who've never seen it.
Hang on, this is such a coincidence. I bought ‘The Fugitive’ on 4K yesterday and watched it last night, a childhood favourite and loved it all over again. Came on to UA-cam just and saw your review!!!
Chris, it was ABSOLUTELY the right decision to go back and revisit these films. This was a masterful look back. Roger Ebert's review is similarly masterful: "Jones has become one of the great craggy presences of the screen, often cast as a villain, but with a half-masked amusement that borders on contempt for lesser beings: He has the charm of a hangman promising to make things as comfortable as possible. In "The Fugitive," his role is more complex than at first it seems. As the chase continues, he gradually becomes convinced of the innocence of his prey, but this conviction is wisely never spelled out in dialogue, and remains ambivalent, expressed in the look in his eyes, or his pauses between words."
I also had this on a blank VHS that was recorded off of TV at my grandma's house. I also watch this movie every few years and it never gets old. This is definitely one of the best movies ever made.
This is probably my favorite film starring Ford or Jones ever. As a huge train fanatic, that big train wreck scene is still one of the best choreographed scenes in an action film ever.
Another one of my all-time favorite Harrison Ford movies is “Presumed Innocent”. If you’ve never seen it, you’re going to love it. There are so many incredible performances in that film, not just Harrison Ford’s. It’s perhaps my favorite one of his films because it was so well executed. It’s a much darker film than The Fugitive, but it’s definitely a must see for any Harrison Ford fan.
Absolutely love rewatching The Fugitive annually with my step-dad, it's been our tradition for at least 28 years! Each viewing still sends my heart racing during those intensely crafted scenes - they're nothing short of sublime. Couldn't agree more about the film's impeccable editing and pacing; it's like every frame is meticulously calculated, yet they still find time to linger on the expressions of secondary characters, deepening the narrative without missing a beat. Harrison Ford truly gets to showcase his range here, but Tommy Lee Jones, in a stroke of cinematic fortune, matches (if not surpasses) him at every turn. The '90s blessed us with some stellar cinema, but in my book, "The Fugitive" stands unrivalled. It's astonishing to think this gem was inspired by a TV series - just goes to show the magic of a brilliant adaptation!
I just happened to watch this movie for the first time last week. I just put it on cuz it was free on UA-cam with abs. And it shocked me how good and immersing this movie was
Yes. Thanks for shining the light on that gem. I'm baffled sometimes to be the one to show The Fugitive to friends who've never even heard of it. So much fun, every time!
When people talk about Harrison Ford movies nowadays, it’s always Indy, Star Wars and Blade Runner, but The Fugitive was one of his best movies and one of his biggest hits too and the fact that it’s been largely forgotten about is criminal. The same with Witness, which is another fantastic movie.
Loving the new feature presentations, the fugitive is one of my all time favourites I grew up with my grandad and vividly remember watching it with him whenever it was on TV as a kid, it was one of his favourites and we always shared that, it’s a very nostalgic watch for me now
I haven't seen The Fugitive in so long, but I loved it...the pacing, performances, tension, sound design, everything was so well executed. Vety underrated film that no one talks about today.
Excellent movie, I've watched it ten times and it's great every time. There is a great scene when Kimble saves a boy in the hospital by reading his chart and sending him to another place to be examined.
The use of miniatures, especially in the '60s-'80s, was so great because they provided a level of texture and tangibility that even the best CGI can't match. Miniatures along with puppets, animatronics, prosthetics, and matte paintings helped to immerse the viewer in the dimensionality of a film in a way that is difficult to articulate, but you absolutely feel it in films like the original "Star Wars", the original Indiana Jones trilogy, and LotR. The loss of those kinds of practical elements is one of the reasons why most genre films today kind of feel generic visually.
The Fugitive has been overlooked for so long. I'm so glad it's making a comeback. The Fugitive is one of the few examples of a movie adapted from a TV series that is actually better than the source material. It is also more proof that the 1990s is one of the greatest decades in film history. Tommy Lee Jones totally deserved that Oscar win. It's just a shame that Harrison didnt get nominated.
My dad showed me this movie when I was 12 because he knew I loved Harrison Ford. I became absolutely obsessed with it, and that has continued into my adulthood as its one of my all-time favorites. Loved hearing you talk about it and bring some much-deserved attention back to it ❤
i love how your analysis and how you bring up fun facts from behind the scene and pop culture like the parodies or the miniatures or how they improvised scenes
I saw The Fugitive at the cinema back in ‘93 and yes Chris my audience cheered everytime Richard hit the killer. I swear I’ve seen this movie so many times on VHS tape (I still own it) & on cable this movie still on has me on the edge of my seat. Fantastic review Chris! Thanks so much for starting this new segment. I love it!
The Fugitive…brilliant movie and an out and out classic. One of Fords best roles and I was always perplexed why he didn’t get a nomination for Best Actor. Certainly his work during the interrogation scene for example, is some of his best work. Tommy Lee Jones is phenomenal and the stunts, tension and propulsive narrative really do put you right there in the middle of a manhunt. One of the best thrillers ever made.
Classic movie with great replay value! In my top50 movies ever for sure! I was in 5th or 6th grade when this came out and saw it in theaters with my dad. An all time classic!
The fact that The Fugitive came out in 1993 alongside Schindler's List and people are still talking about and rewatching it really shows how much care these writers and directors put into each minute of runtime.
Just got this in 4k and rewatched for the first time in over a decade. I remember spending my own money to buy this on VHS in middle school. It's timeless.
One of the best thrillers of the 90s! Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones give great performances, and the film's chase sequences are very well done. I need to rewatch this too.
Love this movie! I’m so happy I saw this opening night in theater back in 93. It also holds a special place in my heart, because it was the last movie I saw in the movie theater with my mom. She loved it too!
So awesome a lot of this movie was filmed in my hometown Sylva, NC. The train crashing into the bus, got to watch that in person, Harrison Ford walking down back of Main Street, hospital, and him crossing a creek to the hospital. One of my favorite thrillers to watch
I probably watched this 100 times as a kid, and I recently rewatched it just last year (after like a 15 year absence) and it was almost like seeing it for the first time... I had forgot just how sharp the writing was for this movie and how great it built suspense... 100% spot on with all your points
Still have this movie on my list! By the way, I'm loving this new Feature Presentation series you're doing on your channel, Chris. I'm so glad you feel free to discuss any movie new or old, and I wish more film reviewers on UA-cam would do this (not just new releases).
I watched 2 minutes of this review when you convinced me to watch the movie. I put it on immediately and had a blast with it. Am loving these feature presentation videos so far and cant wait to see more of them in the future.
My Mom was Agoraphobic (meaning she had an extreme fear of leaving her house) after getting out of an abusive marriage. She saw a trailer for this movie and said "I'm gonna see that movie" and that was the first time in around a year she left her house, and she still has the ticket stub to this day. She met my father a few years later and the film has remained a family favorite ever since. I happened to bump into Daniel Roebuck a couple years and it was so special to be able to meet someone who worked on this film that we love so dearly.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I was 12 when this came out and I actually got to see it in theaters and it was incredible on the big screen. I used to watch it anytime it came on regular TV eventhough we had it on VHS then I later got it on DVD, just need to get the Blu-ray one now.
I was born 2000, I had no idea how popular this movie was! Maybe it wasn´t as big in Germany cause everyone here I talked to about it didn´t seem to know it. My mum would iron the laundry on the weekends and put on the same movies such as this, The Mask of Zorro and Americas Sweethearts (:D) All of her favs. And all of these eventually became my favorites, too and sitting down in front of the TV for these 5 hours or so is one of my most precious memories... The Fugitive´s gotta be one of the first movies I watched as a kid and I love it still to this day!! Truly a great one
I love this movie! I am glad to see I’m not the only one who has watched it over and over and over again. At this point it’s like a comfort film for me.
I love this new segment. I’ve never seen or heard of this movie until watching this video and my girlfriend and I just had an absolute blast watching it for the first time. I never would’ve found it myself, so thank you Chris!
One of the underrated OGs. Have to watch this again now you’ve brought it up. I think this is one of Harrison Ford’s finest acting roles (and that includes those big money franchises he’s done) - up there with Witness, Mosquito Coast and Presumed Innocent. He had to given Tommy Lee Jones was the other big lead. And yes Julianne Moore and Selma Ward were in this too - easy to forget. Pretty sure this was one of Moore’s earliest roles, if not the first, before she really became huge.
1993, Groundhog Day and The Fugitive = Best movies of that year. I liked The Fugitive so much I saw it a few times at the theater, my friend bought me the VHS for my birthday and I also got the soundtrack because I just couldn't get enough of it.
@@thedarkknight9153 Oh, yeah. With all the other recent Jurassic Park/world ho-hum, I had forgotten about the very first one. That's right. I was wide-eyed-whoa! after seeing that. Okay, that one too is added for Best movies of 93.
I saw The Fugitive in the theater when I was 10 years old. The whole room applauded when Harrison Ford told the other cops that there’s a crazy guy waving a gun around, so they tackle Tommy Lee Jones. I’d never had an experience like that in the theater before. So much fun. I’m from the Chicagoland area too
I love this movie but have to say that shot of Ford’s dummy falling through the air is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
A Big Jiggly sighting in the wild 👀
This is my mom's favorite movie. She likes it even more than I do.
Yeah. RAIDERS Harrison Ford would've jumped off the *ing dam 🙂
I love the Simpsons parody with Milhouse.
Was not expecting you to pop in the chat, Anthony! Lol
The kind of movie you can't help watching on TV everytime they play it. You get hooked, instantly hooked.
💯
its best movie of 1993, than carlito's way.. not schindler's list
agreed, so rewatchable
I remember watching it everytime it’s on TV and getting so mad when I cuts to commercial because I was so invested 😂
Agreed. Fugitive, Goodfellas, Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction prob my Mount Rushmore for great replay value movies
This new Feature Presentation series is the best thing of 2024
Crazy to think that this film went in to production without a finished script and was completed in record time and turned out to be a classic. Shows the talent on top form.
I love the classy Feature Presentation intro. I also love that we still get Stuckmannized at the end.
oh gawd just stop
@@gagelindell271No, moooore...!
Reminds me of Touchstone and Disney vhs intros.
@@fromthehaven94 So dumb
@@gagelindell271 *Coming soon to theaters*
This movie is so great because it never dumbs itself down for the audience. I’m an 80s baby and just love it.

Agreed.
His post Fugitive work [like Arnie's 'Collateral Damage'] were rather forgettable. He was originally intended to direct 'The Running Man' but was replaced early on.

1:23 That Best Supporting Actor category in the 66th Academy Awards was incredibly stacked:
Tommy Lee Jones as Samuel Gerard in "The Fugitive"
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"
The snubs include 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...
Also, a person who has seen this film multiple times should never be jealous of people who've never seen it.
True. But I'm not gonna say anyone deserved to win over Tommy Lee Jones. It was that stacked. They all deserved to be nominated
Val Kilmer was robbed of a nomination and a win
@@travisbickle1601 Totally
More snubs: Denzel Washington in Philadelphia and Richard Attenborough in Jurassic Park.
@@LukeLovesRose You won't say that anyone deserved to win over Tommy but you'll agree to Val being robbed of a win?
That Saint Patty foot chase is pure cinematic gold. Like even the music is iconic. That piano riff is so good.
I can tell this is going to be one of my new favorite segments on this channel 😂👍🏾
Chris praising The Fugitive. Truly a dad rite of passage.
Hang on, this is such a coincidence. I bought ‘The Fugitive’ on 4K yesterday and watched it last night, a childhood favourite and loved it all over again. Came on to UA-cam just and saw your review!!!
I have watched The Fugitive so many times and now it’s free on UA-cam so I watch it every other day.
Just watched it for the very first time. A freaking phenomenal film!
It’s free on UA-cam right now
Same😂
Chris, it was ABSOLUTELY the right decision to go back and revisit these films. This was a masterful look back.
Roger Ebert's review is similarly masterful: "Jones has become one of the great craggy presences of the screen, often cast as a villain, but with a half-masked amusement that borders on contempt for lesser beings: He has the charm of a hangman promising to make things as comfortable as possible.

An absolute all-time classic, will always watch it when it comes on TV and I've seen it over a hundred times.
I've watched this movie like 20 times. Timeless and amazing.
Finally!! Somebody has reviewed this Masterpiece!!!!!! 🎉🎉
I guess you mean someone you regularly watch? Because there are tons of reviews of The Fugitive out there if you want to see more.
I also had this on a blank VHS that was recorded off of TV at my grandma's house. I also watch this movie every few years and it never gets old. This is definitely one of the best movies ever made.
Had to stop the video halfway through and go watch it for myself for the first time, it was fantastic just like you said thank you.
One of my favourite movies - it's a go-to! I'm glad you reviewed this.
I LOVED the scene where Charles says to Samuel "You won't get him, he is too smart", "How smart? Smarter then you". "Yes". Great scene.
One of my favourite movies ever. I rewatch it at least once a year.
This is probably my favorite film starring Ford or Jones ever.
As a huge train fanatic, that big train wreck scene is still one of the best choreographed scenes in an action film ever.
I saw this movie for the first time on TV as a kid in probably 2009 and loved it. Still watch it every once in awhile and really enjoy it
Another one of my all-time favorite Harrison Ford movies is “Presumed Innocent”. If you’ve never seen it, you’re going to love it. There are so many incredible performances in that film, not just Harrison Ford’s. It’s perhaps my favorite one of his films because it was so well executed. It’s a much darker film than The Fugitive, but it’s definitely a must see for any Harrison Ford fan.
Top 5 movies of my lifetime. Phenomenal!
It's such an easy film to get into. Everytime I put it on, I feel instantly engaged in the setting and the characters. An excellent film.
This is one of the most rewatchable movies ever. Love it
The term instant classic comes to mind. I knew it sitting in the theater back in 1993. And yeah, it was an amazing theatrical experience!
This was such a great theater experience. Easily top 5 in my entire life.
Absolutely love rewatching The Fugitive annually with my step-dad, it's been our tradition for at least 28 years! Each viewing still sends my heart racing during those intensely crafted scenes - they're nothing short of sublime. Couldn't agree more about the film's impeccable editing and pacing; it's like every frame is meticulously calculated, yet they still find time to linger on the expressions of secondary characters, deepening the narrative without missing a beat.

Watched this last night. Brilliant and compelling and always gives something new.
Saw it at the movies. it was fantastic & still is today. easily in my top 20
When people talk about Harrison Ford movies nowadays, it’s always Indy, Star Wars and Blade Runner, but The Fugitive was one of his best movies and one of his biggest hits too and the fact that it’s been largely forgotten about is criminal. The same with Witness, which is another fantastic movie.
i watch this every year! its amazing glad you reviewed it finally
Re-watched it after your review - and OMG it is still great!

Excellent movie, I've watched it ten times and it's great every time. There is a great scene when Kimble saves a boy in the hospital by reading his chart and sending him to another place to be examined.
He sends the kid to _surgery!_
my dad told me to watch this as a kid and its been one of my fav all time, arlington road is another 90s thriller banger
The use of miniatures, especially in the '60s-'80s, was so great because they provided a level of texture and tangibility that even the best CGI can't match.

I use to watch this movie with my dad all the time growing up! I love Tommy Lee Jones. ☺️☺️
I was lucky enough to see this at the cinema in 1993 on my 13th birthday!
That would have been amazing!
Wrongfully Accused has got to be one of the funniest parodies I've ever seen!
You can’t have seen too many.
The Fugitive has been overlooked for so long. I'm so glad it's making a comeback. The Fugitive is one of the few examples of a movie adapted from a TV series that is actually better than the source material. It is also more proof that the 1990s is one of the greatest decades in film history.
Tommy Lee Jones totally deserved that Oscar win. It's just a shame that Harrison didnt get nominated.
Probably my favorite film ❤. TLJ completely 💯 deserved that Oscar for his nuanced performance and the musical score is epic.
Loved this review Chris! But a little disappointed that you missed your classic "you find this man" pointing Harrison impression 😆
The train sequence lives in my head rent free.
This is a classic with great chase sequences that never stops till the end. I’m gonna get the 4K Blu-ray.

And yes Julianne Moore and Selma Ward were in this too - easy to forget. Pretty sure this was one of Moore’s earliest roles, if not the first, before she really became huge.
Been wanting Chris to do these videos on film since forever. Finally it has happened
1993, Groundhog Day and The Fugitive = Best movies of that year. I liked The Fugitive so much I saw it a few times at the theater, my friend bought me the VHS for my birthday and I also got the soundtrack because I just couldn't get enough of it.
Jurassic Park is high on my list too
@@thedarkknight9153 Oh, yeah. With all the other recent Jurassic Park/world ho-hum, I had forgotten about the very first one. That's right. I was wide-eyed-whoa! after seeing that. Okay, that one too is added for Best movies of 93.
I saw The Fugitive in the theater when I was 10 years old. The whole room applauded when Harrison Ford told the other cops that there’s a crazy guy waving a gun around, so they tackle Tommy Lee Jones. I’d never had an experience like that in the theater before. So much fun. I’m from the Chicagoland area too
Feature Presentation is dipping me in nostalgia and eating me up.
This was on TV yesterday. I hadn’t seen it in ages. Still a great film!
