THE FUGITIVE (1993) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION! 

WE HAVE A RADIUS OF SIX MILES!! I WANT A HARD TARGET SEARCH OF EVERY GAS STATION, RESIDENCE, CAT HOUSE, FARM HOUSE, WAREHOUSE, HEN HOUSE, OUT HOUSE & DOG HOUSE IN THAT AREA!!!

Fun Fact: Harrison Ford damaged some ligaments in his leg during the filming of the scenes in the woods. He refused to take surgery until the end of filming so that his character would keep the limp. The limp can be seen in any subsequent scene where Richard Kimble is running. Also, Tommy Lee Jones reportedly told Joe Pantoliano, "It's not like anyone is going to win any awards for this film." However, the movie was eventually nominated for 7 Academy Awards and 3 Golden Globes, with Tommy Lee Jones himself ironically winning both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for this film. Harrison Ford was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor, but lost to Tom Hanks for his performance in Philadelphia (1993).

“I don’t care” became one of the most famous ad libbed lines in movie history because of this film. So perfect to sum up Tommy Lee Jones’s character. He truly doesn’t care because he’s there to do his job and nothing else.

Every year around St. Patrick’s Day, this movie is played in Chicago nonstop for a week. It’s a holiday tradition. I love it.

Fun fact: the actor who plays the cop on the train (who the one-armed man shoots) is the actor who plays “Janitor” on the show “Scrubs”. There is a running joke in that show where Janitor keeps claiming he was in “The Fugitive”. Since Janitor is a notorious prankster / liar, none of the other characters believe him. Of course, he was, though!! 😂😂😂

You should watch Witness if you want to see Harrison Ford in a completely different type of role. He is fantastic as a Philly cop who has a case with a young Amish boy as a witness.

Damn you guys. I watch this movie at least once a year, and now I will forever have ‘Nimble Kimble’ stuck in my head. Why not ‘Hard Gerard’ while we’re at it? 😂

If you like Tommy Lee Jones and you want to see him have great antagonist chemistry with someone, check out The Client with him and Susan Sarandon. It's a thriller based on a John Grisham novel and it's so freaking good (the cast, down to the smallest character, is pretty epic, and Susan Sarandon won an Oscar and a bunch of other awards for her performance).

FUN FUGITIVE FACTS: - The wrecking of the train was done practically. A real bus and a real train were destroyed, captured by multiple cameras. There were only a few miniature insert shots, and Harrison Ford leaping from the train was done optically. - Production was well into shooting before the script was even completed. - The famous "doughnut with sprinkles" line was improvised by Tommy Lee Jones. - Harrison Ford required surgery after blowing out his knee during the county jail chase scene. There are shots in that chase where he's seen limping. - After production received the thumbs up from the Chicago mayor, the film crew was allowed to shoot the scenes in the St. Patrick's Day street parade guerilla-style on the fly. Apart from a few key people, nobody in the parade knew that a movie was being shot. - Actress Sela Ward was hand-picked by Harrison Ford to play his wife, Helen. - The banter between Gerard and the US Marshals was improvised. - The actor playing the police sound engineer who was working on Kimble's phone call with his lawyer was John Cusack's brother. - The actor who played Kimble's lawyer was John Cusack's father. - To keep the element of authenticity regarding the press, all reporters featured in the film were actual Chicago journalists. - Tommy Lee Jones won the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar.

I was born and raised in Chicago. They dye the Chicago River green every year for the big St Patrick Day parade.

One of my favorite movies. The casting of Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones was perfect 😊

Harrison Ford was once the no.1 Box office draw of all time. This film here is part of that legend and his career. Tommy Lee Jones won his only Oscar from this performance. Well played as the obsessed lawman without any clue of the truth and only taking down Kimble. Very few tv series become feature films and successful ones at that. But this story was worked into an incredible adaptation. The 1960s show was actually re-broadcasted on TV Land following the film's release. There was a sequel called "U.S. Marshalls" in 1997. TLJ reprised his character with a few other actors from The Fugitive. Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. were co-stars and it did well commercially. Unexpected sequel, but with exceptional storytelling. You could check it out or not. BTW, Air Force One (also from 1997) is another smash with Harrison Ford that you'll definitely enjoy.

The cops wanted Kimble dead at the end as they thought he killed the cop on the train. The water's impact at the dam was a lesser issue because he hit water that was also falling first and was breaking up the surface of the water below. If you watch highdive competitions, they send bubbles up from under the water to break the surface tension. He still likely would have died. I don't think the water pressure was high enough to prevent him from hitting the concrete behind the water. If he dropped down on still water, that would have been a full-on collision.

"I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE!" "I DON'T CARE!"

I love how many tims the train blows up. Also the green water is due to St Patrick's Day, every year in Chicago they dye the water green.

Chicago dyes the river green every year. That's why the water looked like toxic waste lol.

The second biggest box office hit of 1993 (Jurassic Park being the first). The Fugitive was actually a very popular TV series between 1963 and 1967 that was rerun to death. Each episode Richard Kimble, while being pursued, would encounter different people/towns/situations and help in some way before moving on. It's quite astounding that modern audiences seem entirely unaware that The Fugitive, as well as Mission Impossible I might add, were crazy popular TV series before they became the films everyone raves about today. The Fugitive didn't swing that far away from its origins, except to remove the weekly story and have it focus primarily on Kimble's search for answers to prove himself innocent. Mission Impossible, certainly by the second film, was entirely unrecognisable really - except for the music (dum-dum-dum-dum; dum-dum-dum-dum; doo-da-duh; doo-da-duh; doo-da-duh; dar-dum) which was adapted from the series for the films. Tommy Lee Jones was practically unknown before this film, which earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He stole the show from Harrison Ford. They even made a sequel/spin-off, without Harrison Ford, called U.S. Marshals with Wesley Snipes. I honestly don't remember if that was any good else I might recommend it.

The fugitive is one of the best movies. Action packed and suspense. You guys should also check out The Untouchables if you haven’t already. Another classic!

I saw this in the theater in 199~ and it was amazing. That train crash scene alone was worth the money.

now ya gotta see “us marshals” (sequel to this film)

Glad you guys reacted to this film one of the best in the 90's. You guys also need to watch and react to US Marshals which is a Spin off/sequal involving Tommy Lee Jones and his team chasing down a wanted man played by Wesley Snipes.

YES!!! Thia was the first Harrison Ford movie I saw in VHS, and it's one of my favorites! Tommy Lee Jones took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor! Before Harrison Ford was cast as Richard Kimble, Alec Baldwin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Costner, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Clint Eastwood, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Patrick Swayze, William Hurt, Michael J. Fox, and Mickey Rourke were considered. Jon Voight and Gene Hackman were considered for Sam Gerrard. It was a box office and critical success, making $370 million dollars against a $45 million dollar budget, and it was nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture.

Not your typical action flick! It's based on an old TV show from the early sixties - Dr. Kimble on the run and searching for the one-armed man, with Marshall Gerard (he wasn't a federal agent in the TV show) hot on his heels in a new town each episode. Great stuff!

I wore out my VHS copy of this movie. This is when i first fell in love with Tommy Lee Jones, his performance is terrific, and I love his interactions with his team members. There is a sequel where Wesley Snipes is the fugitive, not as good as this one but still worth a watch.

it’s like if saving that kid’s life was the last great thing he could do before getting caught again he could be happy

Great reaction! Couple things - the Chicago PD wasn't in on the crime with Charles, they perceived him as a cop killer because of the officer that was shot on the El train. At that point, all they cared about was getting vengeance on the person who killed one of their own. Also, as others have mentioned, the bus/Train crash was done with a real bus and a real train. The derailed train was left where it landed and is there to this day in Sylva, North Carolina - you can visit it and check it out.

You HAVE to watch the sequel to this film, 'U.S. Marshalls'! SO good! Plus if you really enjoyed Tommy Lee Jones in this, watch Under Siege. Love you guys, you fucking kill me with your humor, my kind of people, keep doing what you're doing. Thank you again 🤘🖤

This was based on an old black and white TV show. Richard would drift from town to town every episode, assuming different identities and helping people out.

Chris "That could not have gone worse." Me: Might wanna hold that thought.

One of the best 90s movies. Great reaction, guys.

Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar for this role.

Finally, a well paced action movie.

OH MY GOD THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV NOSTALGIC MOVIES!!! This is only the second time anyone had watched it that I’ve seen!! I truly hope, as I haven’t watched this yet, that y’all love it.

The Fugitive is loosely based on the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, whose pregnant wife was killed and he was beaten. He was convicted of her murder and spent about 10 years in prison. His new lawyer, F. Lee Bailey got him a new trial and he was found not guilty. I loved the TV series and I loved this movie. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones were the perfect casting for these roles. If you haven't seen it, you should watch Harrison Ford in Airforce One.

Like others have said, this was a popular TV series way back in the day. What a lot of people don't know is that there were serious rumors that there was an alternate ending to the series that was never aired. The series ends with the one armed man finally caught and Kimble being exonerated, like in the movie. The alternate ending had Kimble and the detective walking along the beach, the detective talking to him about how it was good the real culprit had finally been caught and that now Kimble could go off and live his life a free man. Kimble thanks him, the detective leaves, then, as Kimble walks along the beach alone with the sun setting, Kimble reaches down and disconnects his prosthetic arm, something no one else has noticed up until now. Dr. Kimble was the real killer all along! According to the story, that alternate ending tested so badly that the scene was buried, never shown to the public, and everyone involved in the shot was sworn to secrecy.

Yes, guys, it is possible to survive such fall. The waterflow in this case (strong stream) works as water slides at the aquapark and it softens the fall even from the big height.

'93 was the most competitive year for supporting actor performances on the big screen. The 66th Oscar nominees were Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive), Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List), John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire), Leonardo DiCaprio (What's Eating Gilbert Grape), & Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father). The snubs include Val Kilmer (Tombstone), Ben Kingsley (Schindler's List), Sean Penn (Carlito's Way), certain actors in True Romance, etc...

This is a friggin good movie that no one talks about anymore.

Oh yes! This film is just excellent! Harrison Ford at his best and Tommy Lee Jones killing it as the relentless lawman!

93 was a great year , this and Jurassic Park were amazing in the theater.

I remember watching The Fugitive tv show back in the early sixties. Glad you guys liked this movie. I’m a big Harrison Ford fan.

I’m not sure if they killed Richard’s wife because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if it was intentional to set Richard up? It was kind of messy as a set up though. But Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones kill every roll they take! This movie is great!

The "one armed man" Andreas Katsulas was also in a fantastic SciFi series titled Babylon5. There was some amazing writing and really amazing actors and performances in it. If no one ever suggests it, for your own enjoyment, think about checking it out.

THE FUGITIVE (1993) is a film adaptation based on the 1963 hit series of the same name, following the exploits of Dr. Richard Kimble, as he searched for the man who killed his wife in an effort to clear his name of a crime he did not commit. When the series in 1967, its series finale, where the one-armed man was finally revealed, was the most watched show in TV history until the series finale of MASH in 1983. The show itself in based on the French novel Les Miserables.

This gem winning at the polls, just goes to show ya, your patreon members really love ya. I was really jonesing for that "do you want to change your bs statement.... I want... hen house out house..." scene, especially after it wasn't included in yer vid, lol. Glad to see yer enthusiasm for this flick!

Oh I love this movie! "Get off my plane!"

My favorite thing about this movie is how when the cops see evidence that he's actually risking looking for a one armed man, they start looking into it too. "He might be innocent" becomes a distinct possibility and they do their due diligence. Such a good movie..

I've been subscribed for some time now and I can confirm that I've never been crushed by space debris. It really works!

Great reaction!! Three factors that you have to take into consideration: No 1:- The train sequence crash was only done once, because it would've been too expensive to do it again!! No 2:- Jumping off the bus and eluding the train crash was done for real!! No 3:- This movie is based on the TV Series!!

You have already read this in the comments, and I fully support them: HF's character, "The Fugitive" is based on the former TV series. There's this sequel "US Marshals" that is also pretty good. Tommy Lee Jones is a top tier actor, check other of his films "The Client", "Double Jeopardy", "The Siege", "Rules of Engagement", even "Volcano" and "Men in Black" are fun to watch. Re Harrison Ford, you should watch "Witness", "Patriot Games", "Clear and Present Danger", which are less known perhaps, but still really good movies.

Joss Whedon, director of Avengers and Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron, before he was cancelled, rewrote the action scenes for the movie. He was uncredited.

This was a great review. The Fugitive is sentimental to me because I remember as a child my mother telling me that they were filming when we were in downtown Chicago 😊😊😊. Oh and St. Paddy’s Day is huge in our city, and yes they actually dye the river green.

oooo, hopefully we can get US Masrhals next. It's like a spinoff/sequel with Wesley Snipes

This is seriously in my top ten and one of those movies that I will stop what I’m doing and watch the rest of if I find it on tv, no matter how much is left! Such a great movie!

The template for this film was a series "The Fugitive" from the years 1963 to 1967, the first two seasons in black and white, then in color. Kimble has been on the run for four years in search of the one-armed man who killed his wife. Tracking him down, Marshal Gerard. At the end of the series he confronts the real killer and is allowed to leave the courtroom as a free man. I was fascinated by this series as a kid, and by the 1993 film adaptation. fan fact: At the time, Gerard actor Barry Morse received many letters from fans who could not distinguish between fiction and reality, in which he was verbally abused and asked to leave Kimble alone.

This is one of my favorite movies. It never stops. My mother was crazy about the TV show with David Jansen.

I am old enough to remember the days of the Identikit pictures you'd sometimes see them on TV it works by building a face by using a set of present generic features printed on clear plastic and overlaid so a witness would choose face shape, hair, eyes etc to make a picture that looked like the bad guy then they'd tidy it up a little the pictures on the board are the result they will resemble someone but since they are made up of generic feature sets they were fairly rough so there is no artist to blame. Sometimes they would get a sketch artist in to refine the picture but not for this shot. You guys need to check out one of my favourite Tom Lee Jones movies - ' The Park is Mine ' where he plays a disgruntle Vietnam Vet who takes over central park to protest the treatment of vets

I saw this film six times in the theater -- just loved it! It's been a long-standing joke in my family to yell, like Jone's character: "Doctor Kimble!" Then to add, "I love you!!" : D Such a fun film and super-fun watching you fellas watching it. Thanks!

you guys are TOO hysterical I can't even....

I remember my mom loved watching reruns of The Fugitive when it would be on. She loved this movie when she saw it, as did my father and I. Sadly she would pass away less than two years after the movie debuted in theaters. Memories of a better time. Thanks for reacting to this guys.

I actually met Tommy Lee Jones in Chicago when they filmed the Fugitive Part 2 on 78th and Euclid. That's the south side of Chicago. He was very nice. At that time he said they were calling the movie the Fugitive Part 2. He told everyone that they didn't have a name for the movie yet. The movie was eventually named U.S Marshall's. He answered everyone's questions out there that day it was at least 100 spectators. Someone asked why they decided to film in the 3 flat building they chose he said, You can add your house to the filming registry, and when they look for sites to film movies, they may pick your property. The very first scene of the movie is down the street from my parents' old home.

Watch US Marshall's. It's about Tommy Lee Jones' team, going after Wesley Snipes this time. It's just as good!

14:59 "He's like a beaver."

OH HELL YEAH!! Never clicked on a video faster to you guys! Easily one of my all time favorites

31:43 "They killed my wife." line always cuts deep. The delivery was perfect.

the fact is that this movie was one of the Oscars nominated that year and was well deserve cause is great....and for all of us that actually saw the TV. show back in the 60's and 70's was even better cause we saw the end of it....but it is a surprise to me that you kept saying that he couldnt survive this or that....maybe you Dont know but theres a lot of true stories about people who survived even worse situations than this one....like that story about the people from Uruguay that had a plane accident here at the Argentinian Cordillera de Los Andes back in 1972....or the people who survived that accident in the middle of the Ocean that inspired the book of " Moby Dick ".... you might think that is imposible to survive after an accident or a life threat situation but the truth is that even now a lot of people can prove you wrong.....

As for the scene on the dam, the director stated in the "making off" that they threw several lifelike dolls down the dam, all, all of them were later found completely torn and broken. So the director concluded that no human would have even remotely survived that jump.

This is a top 3 movie for both Tommy Lee Johns and Harrison Ford

Fun fact: The St. Patrick day parade was the real parade. That's why you see in some shots people doing double takes when they see Harrison Ford. They didn't tell anyone in the parade they were filming.

This is probably my favorite Harrison Ford movie besides Star Wars and Indiana Jones!

Lol!! That water in the Chicago river was dyed to look that green for St Patrick's day!!

I was a big Harrison Ford fan before this, but this movie made me a fan of Tommy Lee Jones too. For the train crash scene, the director wanted it to look real, so they actually put a bus on the tracks and ran a train into it. They filmed it from like a dozen different angles because, of course, they could only do one take.

Double Jeopardy is another film you may like

38:42 I wouldn't be too hard on that doctor who missed checking the x-ray. Remember that they were in the middle of a crisis, a bus crash and there were multiple casualties to deal with. In that sort of situation it would be easy for someone going back and forth between patients to miss something. Kimble was able to keep a cool head because he was just watching.

Five years after this film, a sequel to it came out, called U.S. Marshalls (1998). Some other people have mentioned it in the comments, but I just want to reiterate, it is definitely a must-see follow-up to this. They bring back Tommy Lee Jones as Deputy Sam Gerard, along with some of his crew, Cosmo, Biggs, Newman. But this time, it's Wesley Snipes they're chasing after, and who else gets thrown into the mix? Non other than Robert Downy Jr., that's right. Go check it out, boys, you'll love it!

The train and bus from the crash scene are still in Western NC where some of the movie was filmed. The Great Smokey Mountain Railroad asked that they be left behind for tourists to view.

One of the best movies both Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones had done. It stands the test of time.

Most common cause of death from jumping from ver high height is water pressure shooting up your rear end

One of Harrison Ford’s best films. And Tommy Lee Jones; he won an Oscar. Also my mom’s favorite movie. And that train crash/wreck was NOT CGI!

James Newton Howard did the score. One of my favorites. Got the expanded edition that's 2+ hours long & listen to it all the time.

here's a little factoid for you guys: the story writer is Roy Huggins. He is famous for all sorts of tv police dramas, including his most famous "The Rockford Files" which he was from start to end. IMO greatest private detective show ever made with one of the best actors, James Garner.

This movie is a classic!

Funny as hell that right after you say "I was expecting more of an action movie"..... the bus driver gets shot, bus rolls down hill and gets blasted by a freight train

Tommy Lee Jones was just awesome in this

This is such a brilliant movie I must have watched it every other day for weeks lol, same with robin hood Prince of thieves, I love a good movie plus Alan Rickman outstanding. Weirdly though my favourite actor isn't in any of the movies in my to 5.

Gotta watch Witness and Regarding Henry.

The negotiator with Samuel L. Another classic!

1st, Fantastic reaction!!! Y'all were boppin' to the soundtrack. Nimble Kimbal is a win. You guys are the first to really worry about his original wound. I love this movie, and literally, nobody else even thought about it besides you two. Respect to your attention to detail. Also, the drug dealer stringing out 12 year olds, y'all were on him quick. Then the pushing the person at the train station is hilarious. I remember when y'all were back with less than 12k, l loved it then. Don't stop. I'm sharing your stuff with my friends and getting them subbed. For your consideration with the polls; Hard Candy, Runaway Jury, Rosewood, Heist(Gene Hackman), The Saint(Val Kilmer), Arlington Road. See how they do. All bangers.

First I apologize if you've mentioned this but I really hope you watch Wrongfully Accused. All I'll say is Lesile Neilson. Second love the choices. I grew up on all these and seeing genuine reactions puts a smile on my face. Keep it up.

Amazing movie. The 90s had so many great movies!

Another movie you guys should react to is The Sting 1973

Usually in a movie when someone is being chased, then either that person or the person doing the chasing is the bad guy. A simple good guy vs. bad guy. In this movie both Kimble and Marshal Gerard are good guys.

I remember watching this for the first time in 9th grade Civics class, lol

22:08 ...."That's some green ass water"......Saint Patrick's day....

sam gerard and richard kimble eventually developed a kind of odd cst and mouse bromance

Love the video octokrool stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

This movie has a sequel called US Marshalls with Wesley Snipes this time in the fugitive role

The Fugitive was my favorite action movie in the 90s. Love your reactions guys! 😊

Witness is a great movie with Harrison Ford.

Another great movie like this is Double Jeopardy, and you get another dose of Tommy Lee Jones 👌👌
