The train crash scene was famously (at the time) made by crashing a real train, no CGI. After filming, instead of cleaning up the wreckage, the locals turned it into a movie museum that you can visit today.

@javix2013 Ай бұрын

Today the scenes of action movies are so boring, pure CGI, they look like a video game, that's why I miss the 80s and 90s, that in the absence of that technology they had to film the scenes in a real way like the train crash in this movie and I remember in Demolition Man and Lethal Weapon 3 exploding and demolishing real buildings in scenes of those movies and in Face Off and Speed crashing and exploding real airplanes. Times that will never come back, filming in that way is too expensive for today and with CGI they prefer to go easy and less expensive. That's why these old movies are relics of a way of filming that no longer exists.

This movie (actually the TV series) was inspired by the Sam Sheppard case in Bay Village (a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio) in 1954.

The "I don't care" line was invented by Tommy Lee Jones. The original line was something else (Jones would try and appease Ford's character instead, since he had a gun pointed at him), but Jones thought it would better fit his character to reply: "I don't care". Which kind of summed up his personality and mission a lot better. He wasn't there to put Ford on trial. He was there to catch a fugitive. I love that, for most of this movie, there isn't really even an antagonist. Tommy Lee Jone's character isn't a bad guy. And if we didn't know that Harrison Ford was innocent, Jones would actually be viewed as the protagonist. The fact that both characters are portrayed in a sympathetic light, and both of them are likable was well executed. It would have been easy to have a cliche of an merciless, villainous, corrupt cop coming after him. Or, and perhaps worse, a cop that was complacent or unintelligent. But Tommy Lee Jones, while certainly driven, is none of those things. And Jones' performance was incredible; he stole this whole movie, and how good does your performance has to be to steal the show from Harrison Ford?

Julianne Moore was originally supposed to have a much larger role in the film as a love interest for Kimble who would aid him. It was decided that as Kimble was still mourning his wife and searching for her killer, it sorta would demean that if he so quickly hooked up with another woman, and so the role was made much smaller

The detective and him talk for a while, him saying it must be nice to finally have his name cleared, then the detective walks away, leaving the Dr. to walk off alone as the sun sets. The alternate ending is supposedly the same, except that after the detective leaves, Dr. Kimble removes his prosthetic arm and smiles. The story goes that the producers had the episode screen tested, and the test audience were so outraged they decided to never show it or even talk about it again.

THE FUGITIVE is actually based on the real case of Sam Sheppard. Sheppard was a doctor with a beautiful family. In the early 50s his wife was murdered. Dr. Sheppard was arrested, tried, and was found guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison. After 10 years he got a new attorney, a young F. Lee Bailey ( old timers will recognize the name) and was granted a new trial. Bailey took the prosecution's case apart and Sheppard was found Not Guilty. He tried going back to medicine but had lost much of his skills. He remarried but that ended in divorce. He worked different jobs and did some professional wrestling. He died in his late 40s an alcoholic. There was a TV movie made in the 70s, GUILTY OR INNOCENT THE SAM SHEPPARD MURDER CASE. The TV program, The Fugitive, starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimball, first aired in 1963. The series ran for 4 years. One of the most watched programs at the time was the last episode where the one arm man is finally caught. Interesting to note that the TV series coincides with Sheppard's new trial. It was a sad ending for Dr. Sam Sheppard.😢

Oh how I miss the 90s! Movie after movie, so many good cinema experiencs on a Saturday afternoon followed by rushing to the stores to buy the soundtracks, from Howard's The Fugitive to Mancina's Speed & Bad Boys, Goldsmith's Total Recall, I could go on and on. These days very few movies leave me wanting to buy the soundtracks, in fact I think there's been a switch from standout music tracks to accompanying music tracks so it's like the music helps the movie along but simply doesn't stand out on it's own (at least for me anyway) I love the music in this, such a great infusion of orchestral and jazz And the movie itself, such great acting, a superb script (at the time there was a pre-release feeling that it might fail because it was a resurrected script from a long forgotten TV show) And now your wonderful reaction, talk about on the ball, you read a lot of the hints and small elements, fantastic stuff thank you and thank you again!

Two of the happiest memories I have of my dad was when the trailer for this movie came onscreen. The Fugitive was one of my dad’s favorite television shows and I grew up watching reruns of it with him. We were both psyched about a movie adaptation with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. The other happy memory was seeing this wonderful movie with him on opening weekend. We loved it.

I think it’s more like it cemented his stardom. He had already made two big moves. The first, Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980) propelled him into the limelight and the second was The Executioner’s Song (TV, 1982) where he played convicted murderer Gary Gilmore. This movie won him a prime time Emmy.

Maybe it's not so weird--- when one considers just how few truly great popcorn action movies we've had like this (since the '90s). On that note--- loved the dad joke. :D EDIT (8:02): "They gonna partner up together?" Nope, that's a movie named "The Defiant Ones"! :D Love name-dropping that on this one. Oh, and Joey Pants? Ya *GOTTA WATCH* "Bound." This movie is excellent, but--- "Bound" is just truly off-the-chain...

Absolutely one of the best movies of its time. My late father was a Dr and when we watched this movie he said that with the billions of dollars that are at stake in the pharmaceutical industry, this story is not in the least far-fetched, in terms of the lengths people will go to protect that income stream. Dad died in 1998 and spent his last year railing at the corruption of the whole medical health industry, because of the influence of Big Pharma, which funds over 75% of the training of Doctors and Nurses and other health professionals. He told me of the times he had been offered ‘incentives’ (like holiday pacakages) if he would give certain drugs preferential treatment when writing prescriptions. He said it was so subtle most of the time (just like the fishing junkets you see mentioned in this movie) but sometimes, when attending a dinner and lecture like the one Richard interrupts near the end, there would be an envelope at each dinner place, on every table. Usually it was free tickets to some event, or something similar, so it could be passed off as just like a thankyou gift for attending, but he said it was really just bribery when all is said and done. Anyone who believes that the heads of the major pharmaceutical companies are all altruistic saints has rocks in their head! They are SO obscenely wealthy they can afford to pay crouts awarded damages and fines in the Billions of dollars with a shrug and just write it off as just a cost of doing business. They make the Mafia look like choirboys.

Good job!!😀😀 This is a Chicago movie through and through, starting with Harrison Ford and director Andrew Davis who set/films most of his movies there. (Davis had worked with Tommy Lee Jones and Joe Pantoliano prior to this.) Other cast members from Chi-town: Jane Lynch L. Scott Caldwell (Deputy Marshall Erin Poole) Mike Bacarella (Deputy Marshall Stevens) aka "Right, no press!" Ron Dean (Chicago Police Detective) Joseph Kasala (Chicago Police Detective) Dick Cusack (Kimble's attorney) John/Joan Cusack's father. Neil Flynn (Transit cop shot on train) aka Janitor from Scrubs David Darlow (Dr. Alec Lenz) Frank Ray Perilli (lying corrections officer...from Office Space) News reporters Lester Holt and Pam Zekman and yes, we dye a portion of the river green every St. Patrick's Day.

They actor from Office Space is Richard Riehle. Tom Smykowski is the character. He was in one of my all time favorite Indie Movies called "The Man from Earth". It all takes place in a little cabin where a University professor lives. He's been there for ten years and just received tenure at the school. Now he decided to leave. His colleagues show up to throw him a going away party, but are there really to find out why the hell he's leaving. The whole thing takes place in one house as all these professors sit around discussing the situation while drinking whiskey. It's brilliant. It's the best kind of sci-fi.

One of my favorite meta jokes comes from Scrubs. The cop near the end who Sykes shoots on the subway is played by Neil Flynn, who played The Janitor on Scrubs. On the show, a running gag is that he never lets anyone know his real name or anything about his personal life. Then one day, the doctors are watching the Fugitive on tv, and when the others leave the room, JD is the only one to notice him in the train scene. He spends the rest of the episode trying to convince the others (and get the Janitor to admit) that he was once an aspiring actor before working at the hospital.

Great reaction. A couple of tropes from the original tv series. One, Kimble always dyed his hair (he was played by handsome David Jansen) Two, he always had a slight limp, (Jansen tore a ligament the first season and had the limp for the rest of the series run) three, he always hitched and was picked up by a woman.
