This film was fantastic. The train wreck is still a very popular film location to visit because the train was wrecked for real and IT IS STILL THERE!! CRAZY!!
The thing about this movie is (and it's a great thing) it starts off like a rocket and doesn't stop to take a breath until the very end. There are very few other films that are able to keep the pace going the way that this one does!
YES!! One of my favorite Harrison Ford action movies I've seen in my entire life! Saw this on VHS when i was 5 years old and it's been my favorite movie!
One of the best 1st acts I've ever scene. Sets up all the characters so well plus the action. Tommy Lee's introduction was perfectly written and performed
I watched this movie for the first time this year on AMC. I loved it. I own it on Blu-ray now. And I was just thinking about it today, so this upload is literally right on time.
I love this movie. NOT only because it is good, TLJ is funny as hell in it, but because my local electronic store had the train scene playing in the little glass room all the time demonstrating surround sound. God i love the 90's!!!!!
US Marshalls, the sequel movie was great too, instead of continuing with Kimble, who's story was complete, they followed with Tommy Lee Jones character and his Marshall team for the sequel. A briliant move methinks
One of my absolute favorites. Harrison and Tommy Lee were awesome. Love the part where they're at the train wreck site, questioning the guard. "Care to revise your statement, sir?" "What?" "Do you want to change your bullshit story, sir?"
Regarding the train crash scene, Harrison Ford wasn't there when the crash was shot. He did the jump in front of a green screen or projection of the crash.
As. 12 year old this was one of my favorite movies. I'll still stop and watch it if i come across it channel surfing. "I don't care." Is definitely my favorite line.
One of the great action adventure films. I'd put it alongside Terminator 2, True Lies, Die Hard 3, The Rock and Independence Day for those great 1990s action films. Ford and Lee-Jones have great chemistry in this film. Good direction from Andrew Davies. One of the rare instances of a remake of sorts(with it being based on a TV series). Great action sequences - with the waterfall jump being the highlight.
Another reason why Ford had grown a beard was because he had just filmed his cameo scenes for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series. He appeared in a two-part episode; with both parts aired back to back on ABC when The Fugitive started its production, called “Mystery of The Blues”. Ironically, that story is also set in Chicago as well. It had Young Indy making his way to 1920’s Chicago; meeting figures like Sidney Bichet and Al Capone.
The Fugitive is the BEST Harrison Ford movie that doesn't end in Wars or Jones. I've loved it since I was a teenager and saw it in the theaters. And It single handedly made me a fan of Tommy Lee Jones (except for his Two Face, yikes!!!).
It's one of the greatest chase movies in history. It keeps you enthralled from the opening scene till the end, where you get a satisfying emotional payoff.
So awesome. First, the TV series was my mother's favorite show. And second, the director (from my home state) was not only honored at our hometown film festival Ebertfest, but he is also the director of my film school's only horror screenwriting contest winner... a little film called "The Final Terror" that didn't do as well as it could have because of its lack of "victims". But I digress. "The Fugitive", like "Mission: Impossible" and "The Untouchables", is a brilliant cinema adaptation that transcends it's source material. Sadly, Richard Jordan was teaching an acting workshop in a loft above my old post-production facility in West Hollywood before he passed. I did not know about his participation in this future classic.
I hated the 1st screen adapt of MI. I loved the tv show and hated TC for hijacking it. I didn't like MI:2 either but 3 and following were really good. Can't wait for the next two.
This fantastic film still holds up 30th years later and the very first movie I watched at the Warner Bros Village Cinema in London in December 1993. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are excellent as both Fugitive Dr Richard Kimble and US Marshall Sam Gerard. So hugely successful and well made faithful adaptation of the original 1960's TV series, it spawned a Sequel US Marshals, 2 TV spin offs 2000 The Fugitive with Tim Daly and Myketi Williamson in the Ford and Jones roles. More recently another TV remake in 2020 with Kiefer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook but alas they all failed to capture the magic of this 1993 Blockbuster which remains one of the very best action TV remakes ever made, which definitely captured lightening in a bottle at the right despite all odds.
It had it's UK Premiere at that Cinema as it was Warner's most prodigious in the UK. It was also the first film screened there after a re-build and refit. Harrison Ford opened it.
What an amazing treat of nostalgia! It is so awesome of the creativity of the actors and director as this is great example of how to augment and enhance TV show to movie adaptation.
This film is a great example of how you can have an antagonist who is not a villain. Girard was simply doing his job, even if it hindered Kimble's objective.
It was a good movie. I saw it in the theaters and I don’t think I’ve seen it in 30 years. It’s really not featured in too many streaming services. This movie really got Tommy Lee Jones a lot of attention and roles.
I vividly remember going to the theater with my 7th-grade best friend along with his family. I really wanted to see Jurassic Park again, but they decided to see The Fugitive instead. I didn't really get a vote, but I didn't complain, since it was their decision. I was a little bummed at first, but in hindsight, I couldn't have been happier about the decision that they made. I have absolutely loved this movie since the day I first saw it!
The movie is awesome so is the sequel. I think they should make another US Marshals movie. It was great, it just got buried by Titanic like every other movie that came out that year.
This film is so classic. Saw it on vhs years ago. Back when you could trust a movie if you didn't know about it. The tv show that was In Black and white is also very decent
Harrison Ford was perfect for this role. He’s like an “every-man” type while still having that on-screen presence that makes him a great leading man. And Tommy Lee Jones fully deserved the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, he was phenomenal.
I was 6 when this came out and I remember absolutely loving it. I'd randomly jump on the coffee table and tell my family I didn't kill my wife before jumping off and running out the room lol
"While trying to avenge his dead wife's killer" 15:40 Wrong usage. Should this not have been "While trying to avenge his dead wife" or "While trying to find his dead wife's killer"?
TLJ's speach at the train crash site was also slightly impovised. The lines were written, but they originally had him talking directly to his fellow marshals. But after they did a take, it was suggested he turn it into a pep talk for everyone and that's what ended up in the film.
One of my favourite movies ever why harrison ford was never nominated for a Oscar for best actor I do not know but Tommy lee jones stole the show and derserved his Oscar
About the train crash, there actually was a miniature of the train that was created And it was used particularly for the rear projection footage for the shots of Harrison Ford running away from the train. As part of the contract all the publicity for the movie at the time was not allowed to mention the VFX work that was put into the scene, a practice that continues to this day when studios talk about how there's "no CGI" in a movie nowadays.
For clarification, the actual train crash that you see is 100% real, they did actually crash a train and that genuinely happened. The footage you see where the train is chasing Harrison Ford is footage of a miniature rear projected onto footage of Ford running away from it.
That car chase on the elevated train tracks between Gerard and Kimble would’ve been cool like with running scared in 1986 also filmed and set in Chicago. And Joe pantoliano was in both movies. And it would’ve been like the French connection ironically since Gene Hackman was in that film and was considered for Tommy Lee Jones’s character in the fugitive and he also worked with Tommy Lee Jones and Andrew Davis 4 years before on the package also filmed and set in Chicago and had James newton Howard music like the fugitive.
Absolutely love this movie! Pretty sure I've seen it no less than 10 times. I was surprised to hear the trouble surrounding the score as it's easily one of my favorites along with Traffic and Haywire.
A friend and I saw this in the theaters not long after it came out. Totally riveted the whole time (granted, she was especially riveted to Handsome Harrison Ford's face). That train scene STILL is one of the most tense things I've seen on the big screen. So cool to learn it was done in a single take.
Jeroen Krabe, is not just a actor. He is a deeply intellectual man how moved around high society with the likes of Joan Collins. Acting for the sake of Art. Hollywood A listers in the time of Dynasty 📺
Though Tommy Lee Jones won a much-deserved Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for his unforgettable performance as world-weary United States Marshal Sam Gerard), Harrison Ford should've received a nomination for Best Actor (for his unforgettable performance as wrongfully accused physician Richard Kimble). All in all, "The Fugitive" is undoubtedly one of the greatest action dramas of all time.
I was obsessed with this movie in 1993...And now 30 years later it remains a masterpiece.
"I didn't kill my wife!" "I don't care!" The best lines, in my opinion, and one of Harrison Ford's best performances, in my opinion.
This movie rocks and still holds up really well
Shame he wasn't nominated but VERY competitive year, 1993
I love how cynical Sam Gerrard is. He's just there to do a job.
i was just going to say that too
@@davidjames579 I love Tommy Lee’s cold hearted comment “I don’t care…”
This film was fantastic. The train wreck is still a very popular film location to visit because the train was wrecked for real and IT IS STILL THERE!! CRAZY!!
Oh damn I gotta put that in my bucket list.
Isn’t it in like NC somewhere or in that area? I remember seeing pics of it like 20 some years later
@@JohnnyNiteTrainIt’s located on the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad in North Carolina near the Bryson City Station
One of the best action thrillers of the 90's great performances by both Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones well deserved Oscar for Jones
this movie shows you that a good story is what people want to watch.
What?!?!?! I need muh representation, story be damned.
@@michaelreich4827 you're probably a fan of Yul Brynner playing a Pharaoh
@@mg19cal I remember my grandma telling me, "I don't care what they tell you in school, King Tut was funky.".

One of the best movies of the 90s! Still a great movie you can sit down and watch with your family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For sure top 5
The respect that Kimble and Gerard have towards each other is one of the best aspects of this movie.
The thing about this movie is (and it's a great thing) it starts off like a rocket and doesn't stop to take a breath until the very end. There are very few other films that are able to keep the pace going the way that this one does!
YES!!
One of my favorite Harrison Ford action movies I've seen in my entire life! Saw this on VHS when i was 5 years old and it's been my favorite movie!
Tommy lee Jones was on fire in the 90s: The Fugitive, Under Siege, Men in Black, The Client, JFK, Natural Born Killers.
And batman forever…..kidding
I thought it was a great movie before I even knew about the background and effort that went into producing it. Simply amazing!
This is a stone cold classic, 5 out of 5.
Everyone should watch this.
One of the best 1st acts I've ever scene. Sets up all the characters so well plus the action. Tommy Lee's introduction was perfectly written and performed
I watched this movie for the first time this year on AMC. I loved it. I own it on Blu-ray now. And I was just thinking about it today, so this upload is literally right on time.
Took me years as a teenager to put together that US Marshalls was the sequel. Just thought they were a couple cool Tommy Lee Jones movies.
I love this movie. NOT only because it is good, TLJ is funny as hell in it, but because my local electronic store had the train scene playing in the little glass room all the time demonstrating surround sound. God i love the 90's!!!!!
It was the first movie I noticed having Surround Sound. Totally freaked me out in the Theater! 😄
US Marshalls, the sequel movie was great too, instead of continuing with Kimble, who's story was complete, they followed with Tommy Lee Jones character and his Marshall team for the sequel. A briliant move methinks
One of my absolute favorites. Harrison and Tommy Lee were awesome. Love the part where they're at the train wreck site, questioning the guard. "Care to revise your statement, sir?" "What?" "Do you want to change your bullshit story, sir?"
One of the best action-mystery-thriller.. still engaging to this day.. they don't make movies like these anymore..
Regarding the train crash scene, Harrison Ford wasn't there when the crash was shot. He did the jump in front of a green screen or projection of the crash.
The Fugitive is still in my personal top 10 favorite movies ever.
One of the best Gems of the early 90s!
One of the best big screen “remakes” of a TV series, and one of my all time favorite movies!
As. 12 year old this was one of my favorite movies. I'll still stop and watch it if i come across it channel surfing. "I don't care." Is definitely my favorite line.
I remember the parody with Leslie Nielsen
This movie made me think how GREAT Tommy Lee Jones would’ve been as General Ross in a Hulk movie
One of the great action adventure films. I'd put it alongside Terminator 2, True Lies, Die Hard 3, The Rock and Independence Day for those great 1990s action films. Ford and Lee-Jones have great chemistry in this film. Good direction from Andrew Davies. One of the rare instances of a remake of sorts(with it being based on a TV series).

This,Patriot Games, Clear and Present and Air Force One....Ford had an amazing 90's...And so do we.
He was the guy you could always rely on.
Arguably the dam scene is the most iconic scene from this movie.
Absolutely brilliant. I rewatched this movie only last month and it is STILL one of my all time favourite movies! 😊
You realize all the work that went into this movie makes even better to enjoy and watch.
WHAT AN AMAZING PRODUCTION! can't believe it!
Another reason why Ford had grown a beard was because he had just filmed his cameo scenes for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series. He appeared in a two-part episode; with both parts aired back to back on ABC when The Fugitive started its production, called “Mystery of The Blues”. Ironically, that story is also set in Chicago as well. It had Young Indy making his way to 1920’s Chicago; meeting figures like Sidney Bichet and Al Capone.
This is the only movie I’ve seen in theaters to receive a standing ovation from attendees at the end.
I consistently watch, rewatch this movie.
The Fugitive is the BEST Harrison Ford movie that doesn't end in Wars or Jones. I've loved it since I was a teenager and saw it in the theaters.
And It single handedly made me a fan of Tommy Lee Jones (except for his Two Face, yikes!!!).
It's one of the greatest chase movies in history. It keeps you enthralled from the opening scene till the end, where you get a satisfying emotional payoff.
One of the movies I remember my parents watching all the time on tv when It was playing.
Had to watch it again after so long after watching this, and man, what a good flick....
Even as a kid of 6, I wondered how the Marshall effortlessly rattled out the famous ‘Every doghouse etc’ search directive
One of Dr. Jan Itor's finest roles.
So awesome. First, the TV series was my mother's favorite show. And second, the director (from my home state) was not only honored at our hometown film festival Ebertfest, but he is also the director of my film school's only horror screenwriting contest winner... a little film called "The Final Terror" that didn't do as well as it could have because of its lack of "victims".

god finally someone is covering this classic and of all channels it’s one of my favorites to do it
I rewatched this movie last year for the first time in probably 20 years. It's still so good!
This movie, along with Mission Impossible, is the gold standard of movies based on TV shows.
The Fugitive will always be one of my favorite movies ...this movie and catch-me-if-you-can with Tom Hanks and Leo are my two faves I can always watch
One of the best movies I have ever seen. An eternal classic.

First of all: FANTASTIC FILM…
I always loved though how the credits lasted a full FIFTEEN MINUTES into the film…lol
What an amazing treat of nostalgia! It is so awesome of the creativity of the actors and director as this is great example of how to augment and enhance TV show to movie adaptation.
One of my favorite movies of all time!
I love The Fugitive. Harrison Ford should have been nominated. His interrogation scene at the start is really powerful.
Anybody remember this era where Tommy Lee Jones was in everything?
This film is a great example of how you can have an antagonist who is not a villain. Girard was simply doing his job, even if it hindered Kimble's objective.
This movie, US Marshalls and Double Jeopardy are classics.
I know somebody's already comment on it but on a scale of 1 to 10 that Trainwreck was most definitely a 25.
It was a good movie. I saw it in the theaters and I don’t think I’ve seen it in 30 years. It’s really not featured in too many streaming services. This movie really got Tommy Lee Jones a lot of attention and roles.

It's a marvelous movie and i love Harrison Ford as an actor!
One of my favourite films I absolutely love Harrison Ford ❤️
One of the greatest action blockbusters ever.
Tommy Lee Jones was the best part for me. Excellent performance.
The movie is awesome so is the sequel. I think they should make another US Marshals movie. It was great, it just got buried by Titanic like every other movie that came out that year.
This film is so classic. Saw it on vhs years ago. Back when you could trust a movie if you didn't know about it. The tv show that was In Black and white is also very decent
I was truly greatful to be able to enjoy this movie several times with my grandpa before he Passed in 2022
Great series of the 60s. I rode with a friend from Ohio to Fl. where he went to college. We got a hotel room so we could see the final episode.
Damn. One of your best. Well done.
I remember how big of a deal that train crash scene was. So many behind the scenes specials and interviews.
The image of Ford jumping off just before impact was played and replayed on shows like Entertainment Tonight, you are right.
I didn't know it was based on a tv show until long after I watched it, great classic movie.
Harrison Ford was perfect for this role. He’s like an “every-man” type while still having that on-screen presence that makes him a great leading man.
And Tommy Lee Jones fully deserved the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, he was phenomenal.
2:06 Nick Nolte "I'm too old for that shit" 😂😂😂
I was 6 when this came out and I remember absolutely loving it. I'd randomly jump on the coffee table and tell my family I didn't kill my wife before jumping off and running out the room lol
I love the part when Tommy Lee Jones tell Harrison Ford,I don't care. Then of course Harrison Ford Peter Pan's off the dam.
It's interesting that Nick Nolte thought he was too old, considering he's only a year older than Harrison Ford, according to the internet.
IMO this was a classic and I miss blockbusters like this (now 30 years old).
Nothing happened to it. It came out. It was wildly successfully was nominated for and one academy award. That’s what happened to it. Cheers.
Imagine if Christopher Reeves played Kimble and Gene Hackman played Gerard
The tv show was great, the movie was great, and this retrospective is great!
"While trying to avenge his dead wife's killer" 15:40 Wrong usage. Should this not have been "While trying to avenge his dead wife" or "While trying to find his dead wife's killer"?
Nice! One of my favorite movies. I saw it in the theater when it first came out.
You and millions of other people bro.

A top movie of its time that still stands the test of time
Great film, simply epic. Two historic actors lead, cast was perfection and cinematic value was flawless
Damn you! Now I have to but yet another movie that you so excellently covered
That car chase on the elevated train tracks between Gerard and Kimble would’ve been cool like with running scared in 1986 also filmed and set in Chicago. And Joe pantoliano was in both movies.

It's okay. Paint-by-numbers 90s thriller with big stars and competently executed. Tommy Lee Jones is the best part.
Absolutely love this movie! Pretty sure I've seen it no less than 10 times. I was surprised to hear the trouble surrounding the score as it's easily one of my favorites along with Traffic and Haywire.

That train scene STILL is one of the most tense things I've seen on the big screen. So cool to learn it was done in a single take.
It just occurred to me, I never even questioned how they did that train crash. I need to watch that again.
a cerebral action classic, period!
At this point it’s not really news of Harrison Ford gets hurt during a production. They should only let us know if he DOESN’T get hurt.
Could've mentioned Andreas Katsulas playing the onearmed man. Best quote: "I have a prosthetic arm I must've killed her!"
Yeah Katsulas being overlooked in the video would be my only complaint, Katsulas was extremely memorable everytime he shows up on the film.
I gotta revisit this movie❤
Jeroen Krabe, is not just a actor.
He is a deeply intellectual man how moved around high society with the likes of Joan Collins.
Acting for the sake of Art. Hollywood A listers in the time of Dynasty 📺
When Jeroen Krabbe literally clotheslines Joe Pantoliano in the jawbone with an I-beam, I felt that. And still do.
All together now: "Every Out-House, Hen-House and Doggggg House"
Though Tommy Lee Jones won a much-deserved Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for his unforgettable performance as world-weary United States Marshal Sam Gerard), Harrison Ford should've received a nomination for Best Actor (for his unforgettable performance as wrongfully accused physician Richard Kimble). All in all, "The Fugitive" is undoubtedly one of the greatest action dramas of all time.
