Reacting to THE FUGITIVE (1993) | Movie Reaction

She acts so innocent and girl-next-door but now we know she is a real life detective. And a good one too.

[@gerstelb]

The actor who played the one-armed man is Andreas Katsulas, who had dozens of TV and movie roles, but reached S-Tier with his role of G’Kar on “Babylon 5.”

[@Deegee_1969]

He was also the Romulan Commander Tomalak in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He only had 4 appearances as this character, but each one was memorable.

[@dunringill1747]

Andreas was said to be fully immersed in his role on the studio set of Babylon 5. It was known if you needed to talk to Andreas about anything you had to get to him before they put on his G'Kar make-up. Once he was in make-up, you would only be talking to G'Kar.

[@agarven1]

Dawn the parade scene in Chicago was during St.Patrick’s Day Parade. They asked Chicago to do a parade scene and said that would be too many blocks being blocked off and said no. So they waited for the St.Patrick’s Day and filmed for it for free and got away with it. Every year of St.Patrick’s Day in Chicago they color it green. It is safe for the water and fishes.

No one is going to call the police about hairs in the sink. "911, what's your emergency" "There's some hair in a patients sink. Send police, firefighters, a swat team, the bomb squad". Somebody sees that in the hospital, sure they're going to wonder about it, but figure it could be a doctor, intern, a nurse, didn't take time to shave that morning so did it there, or maybe even someone shaved a patient and dumped it in the sink rather than cleaning it up. Most likely it would be found by janitors who will just clean it up and move on to the next room. No one is going to think it's a crime.

[@javix2013]

I love the realism of the 90s movies, because they were filmed in a real way (the train scene is real, it has no CGI, no miniatures, it's 100% real), or else they used practical effects that were much better and more realistic than the current CGI.

There's a sequel called "U.S. Marshals". Ford wasn't in it. Just Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, and Robert Downey Jr. They filmed part of it at Reelfoot Lake, in Tennessee, 30 miles north of my home town. They were filming in the swamp. They rented a lake-side cabin for TLJ and the owner's bass boat. Every morning, when he got ready to start filming, he got in the boat and drove it a few miles, to where they were shooting , that day. They rented a mansion, that was being renovated, in my home town, for Snipes and Robert Downey. They hired a body guard to keep an eye on Robert Downey Jr. Not to protect him, he was into drugs at the time, and they wanted to be sure he couldn't hook up with a dealer.

29:45 "Wait. How long has this been going on?" They don't show an exact timeline. It seems Dr. Kimble was running after he escaped for only a few days but might have been a few weeks, hard to say. The trial didn't take long. Probably only a few days at most. Tons of evidence including his wife telling 911 "Richard. He's trying to kill me." But he was probably in jail for 1-2 years after his arrest waiting for his trial. The U.S. court systems are fairly overbooked so you have to wait a while for the trial.

[@danielm.oliver1131]

Just a couple of plot holes for this one. 1. The drug trial : The reason why they broke into the Kimball house was supposedly to kill Dr. Richard Kimball right? It was because he knew that the drug he was testing on the drug trial was causing severe liver damage to the patients and the execs at the pharmaceutical company didn't want that info to go public so they needed to kill Dr. Kimball. But, why would the killer go to his house, when they knew he was at the fundraiser and he wouldn't even be home? Dr. Nichols even borrowed Kimball's car keys, so he knew Kimball wouldn't be able to leave. 🤔 2. In the real world, if a doctor had knowledge that an experimental drug was killing patients, the doctor would immediately report it to the FDA. He wouldn't just enter that kind of information into a random chat with his doctor pals. Especially with a doctor who was on the board of that very drug manufacturer ( Devlin/MacGregor ). So if Dr. Kimball would have just reported it right away, they would have been too late to try and silence Kimball and wouldn't have to kill him. And his wife wouldn't have been murdered in the first place. 🤔 3. Sooooo ..... they went through all the trouble of sending someone to his house to kill Kimball in the pursuit of tieing up loose ends, right? But they just left all the drug trial records and tissue samples at the hospital? Why the hell didn't they destroy all that evidence when they had the chance ( while Kimball was awaiting trial in prison) ??? Not exactly plot holes you can drive your car through, but still.......

"What lies beneath" is another good Harrison Ford film. "Presumed innocent" is another great one. Lots of twists.

[@little-wytch]

You don't need fake eyebrows or fake facial hair and a fake accent is usually so easy to spot that it makes you more memorable when you want to be less memorable. Trust me, I know. I have severe social anxiety and these are the kinds of things that I think about when I'm out in the world, always thinking about how to go un-noticed and planning escape routes lol. He did it right, pretending to be a janitor, especially in a hospital where people are used to seeing you with greying hair and a full beard; looking like a dark-haired clean-shaven "servant" type worker lets you get in the places you need and makes people not want to remember you because people you don't interact with regularly are easily forgettable, that was why Juliann Moore remembered him and went looking for him and the kid because she happened to look up and saw what was supposed to be a janitor looking at the x-rays, that was memorable to her for being unusual. His main mistake in trying to stay hidden, he responded to his own name, it's instinct and hard to resist lol. If you're hiding, and trying not to be noticed, but you get noticed yet manage to escape, you change your look again. Most quick hair dyes that you can get at stores are temp and wash out easily. It's assumed that he was retried with all the new evidence and testimony from the US Marshals that brought him in. There is a sequel, but it is a different story with a different name. It's just called US Marshals and is a sort of rehash of this one but with a twist.

[@blakewalker84120]

32:15 "Even if he's found innocent for the whole thing with his wife, he's surely going to get sent to prison for all the things he's doing now." It's possible. However, what he's doing now is mostly breaking and entering with a case of grand theft auto, plus a few minor misdemeanors, and a giant hefty case of escaping prison. None of that is as serious as murder. Also, since all of it was done in the name of exoneration and also finding the real criminal, it's not likely that any court will press charges. It would be a little like charging Santa Claus with breaking and entering peoples' houses. It's just bad optics. In this regard, it's a little like First Blood in the sense that Rambo committed many crimes when escaping and running from the law, just like Dr. Kimble, but in Rambo's case he committed about a dozen aggravated assaults against officers of the law, one murder, and one attempted murder, and millions of dollars of property damage. That's why Rambo goes to prison and Dr. Kimble goes free.

Since 1966, the city of Chicago has been using a vegetable-based dye. The Chicago Plumbers Union still pays to dye the river and safeguards their 60-year-old secret recipe, which is a low-impact orange powder. The powder is spread by two motorboats (one for dumping, one for stirring the water). It takes a crew of six (featuring relatives of the first families to dye the river, the Rowans and the Butlers), about 40 pounds of powder and two hours to turn the Chicago River an emerald green for four to five hours. Although it takes a couple of days for the green to completely disappear.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Based on the old TV show in the '60s starring David Jansen, which was based on a real life murder mystery of the accused Dr. Sam Sheppard near Cleveland, OH in 1954. The old TV show used to get me worked up as Jansen was always acting guilty, and this movie worked me up also! Favorite line (and there were some good ones) , " ...I want a hard target search of every Gas Station, Residence, Warehouse, Farmhouse, Henhouse, Outhouse and Doghouse in that area!" The US Marshall Service tracks down fugitives, and they never give up - they don't conduct investigations to exonerate the falsely accused. This was a very realistic movie, and Tommy Lee Jones earned his Oscar for that performance.

I just love the afterstory you came up with at the end 😆 In reality, he likely would have been taken back to jail (He is still a convicted fugitive, after all) and would receive a hearing where the verdict would be reversed or a new trial where he would be found not guilty. High profile murder trials take a long time, so he likely spent a year or more in jail awaiting his first trial. If the prosecutor decides to charge him for any crimes committed while he was on the run, he would probably be sentenced to "time served", so no additional prison time, but it's likely that no other charges would be brought. I like to think that he gets his position back at the hospital, and, eventually, he and the doctor played by Jane Lynch become a couple. The train crash was real. The director thought that using models or special effects wouldn't look real enough, so they actually put a bus on the tracks and run a train into it. (Harrison Ford jumping was added later) They filmed it from every angle because, of course, they could only do one take. I love that you're as big a Harrison Ford fan as I am. I think you've reacted to most of the big blockbuster movies he's been in (Did you do Air Force One? I don't recall) so you should do some of the lesser known movies. My favorite from that category is The Mosquito Coast. I also don't remember if you've done any comedies so... Sabrina, Working Girl, Hollywood Homicide, and Six Days, Seven Nights are all good.

Im sure Harrison Ford is pretty rich, but It's well known Harrison Ford lore that when he started out he worked as a carpenter, and he was always pretty smart about not just being desperate and jumping at any acting job he could get. He has been in so many movies for decades, but he seems pretty content to just not care and do his own thing when he's not working. At some point he became a pilot, and flying planes became his hobby. It's even been in the news a couple or more times when he's crashed a plane. Supposedly he has a place Jackson Hole, Wyoming where he lives when he's not working, and he's collected his own fleet of airplanes, and then I guess when that got boring, he took up learning to fly helicopters. He's definitely made enough money in this business though.

[@herbertkeithmiller]

This is a good adaptation of a TV show that ran for several years. They managed to hit all the right points even up to Dr Kimble stopping at his own expense to save someone's life which happened in almost every episode. And yes Dr Kimball is cleared of all his crimes and goes on to live a happy life. The TV show said so. 23:19 it's an annual Chicago tradition. The green dye was used to find leaks in pipes. Then in 1962 the plumber's union decided to dye the Chicago River. At that point in time the river was so polluted there weren't any significant amount of fish in there. And the dye is non-toxic so outside of the color it's not going to hurt the fish. Fun fact a lot of the reporters with speaking roles are actually Chicago reporters doing cameos.

26:17 Dawn, anytime you see the gray-haired actor on the left, Ron Dean, there’s a good chance his scenes and/or the movie he was in were filmed in Chicago and the surrounding area. He played a coach in “Rudy” which was based in South Bend, Indiana which is not too far from Chicago. He also played Andrew’s (Emilio Estevez) father in “The Breakfast Club”.

[@billbryant9995]

You can't go wrong with Sean Connery and Harrison Ford! I think you're ready to start watching James Bond. Oh, btw, another good Harrison Ford movie you'll like: "Witness".

[@JackyJames1]

Oh please! There are 70 bond movies....

[@SimonProctor]

Cough Highlander 2. (Give me a moment on Ford ;) )

[@stewartbonner]

this was a tv series that riveted the public for 2 -3 years . done by 2 already famous actors of the time. the final episode was one of the most watched tv show up to that time.

[@clarencewalker3925]

Four years. I watched the show when I was a kid.

[@michaelhoward6663]

Loved the reaction! Yes, Harrison Ford is 80. If you want to see a great movie with him, watch Blade Runner. He plays a cop in the future. I would recommend the theatrical version or the international version. It's amazing. On to the next one!

[@BillyButcher90]

He also played a cop in 'Witness'.

[@blakewalker84120]

The girl from Big Lebowski is Julianne Moore. In this movie, she's not a nurse, she's a doctor. And yes, they'd make a cute couple. He's only 18 years older than her; they could make that work. He was 50 years old when he made this movie so no, he's not too old to have kids, but as somebody who is 50 years old now, i'd absolutely hate to have a newborn now; I'm too old for that kind of commitment - kudos to Dr. Kimble if he wants to have kids at that age...

[@wubranch1]

“Is he smarter than you?” “Smarter” but didn’t remember that he lent his car to his friend who also had his keys, which provided the entirety of the evidence against him in court.

[@Dr.Acula76]

Shhh. You're not supposed to figure that out

[@newsguy5241]

Those reporters at the press conference were actual local Chicago TV reporters.

[@johncampbell756]

"Who was he? I don't remember seeing him on the bus." Hecwas the guard who got stabbed at the beginning of the escsoe attempt who Kimble pushed out the wondiw. And the lying gaurd claimed that he (not Kimble) pushed his partner out the window. "His arm came off. I mudt be in the house." It came loose but did not come completely out of his sleeve. The murder was the previous summer. There would have been a couple months before the trial. The trial and sentencing could take another month. So the escape until the end was maybe one more month, tops. This is adapted from a 1960s TV show.

[@Demigord]

yes, we dye the Chicago river green every St Patrick's day parade, which is really funny because it's pretty green to begin with

[@JCG52577]

What a lot of people don’t realize is that even though he is innocent of killing his wife he would still be charged, convicted, and sentenced for escaping. However the right type of judge would commute the sentence due to the circumstances. Edit: I sort of spoke too soon!

[@greenmonsterprod]

In addition, with the real killer being an ex-cop, and CPD being too eager to kill KImble (even while U.S. Marshals are in the line of fire), the idea of Kimble being both framed and railroaded would make any D.A. and any judge want to release Kimball fast, before he sues everybody.

[@cavemancell3562]

I don't think he would be charged. Why would a prosecutor want to spend time on that?

[@barreloffun10]

​@@cavemancell3562If he was charged, likely no jury would convict him.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

​@cavemancell3562 1- It's a guaranteed conviction on their record. 2- So they don't set a legal precedent that is used by a later convict/lawyer.

[@nealhoffman7518]

A great early Harrison Ford comedy that you would love is Frisco Kid

[@5hanesBoard]

I'm so depressed lately; Your reactions give me a real lift. Thank you.

[@louismarzullo1190]

I hear ya☮️

[@firegod001]

One of the funniest movie reactors on KZbin! Keep up the awesome work.

[@Zealdave2223]

You just have to love the accent and laugh.

[@-R.Gray-]

In the original TV show, someone would find out who he was near the end of every episode, so he would have to move on. I think he would use his medical knowledge and move on. In the news today they were looking for 3 armed robbers. They would be a lot easier to find - just check all the tailors' shops.

[@CallegriaofSoulbound]

Now you gotta watch the 2nd movie, "US Marshalls".

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

"Pull off his arm and beat him with it!" 🤣Love watching movies with you 😁

[@Tonyblack261]

A TV series I remember as a kid.

[@stephenweaver7631]

I live within about 60 miles of where they filmed the train and dam scenes! Some of the train cars are still there. To "turn off the water," the authorities would close the spillway gates. It can, and occasionally is done for maintenance purposes. Ha Ha! "Not good for the fishies!" I doubt the Chicago river, even without greed dye is good for the fishies! I do love your reactions!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

10:17 "You picked the right room." No one knows _better_ how to blend in at a _hospital_ than a _surgeon._

[@joezolo9986]

Dawn Marie, I love all of the detail for your ending.

[@philmakris8507]

My dad was a pathogist and that is how the library microscopic slides in hospitals and medical labs to preserve dna databases among other things. At least back in those days. Some of them are stored digitally now.

[@hernanpisano7913]

Other great Ford's movie is Witness, Working Girl, .and his Jack Ryan performance( after Alec Baldwin 's Ryan in Red October) in Patriot Games, and Clear and Present danger

[@DevlinDomini]

Hilarious reaction for such a grim movie. You were funny up until the end and then you made me paranoid. 😂 Harrison Ford and Gene Wilder were in one of my all-time-faves; The Frisco Kid a 1979 western. Which reminds me; when are you doing Young Frankenstein!? Waiting to watch Bride Of Frankenstein first?

[@markreed392]

"The Frisco Kid" is a hilarious, although underrated movie.

[@GranpaMike]

Heck, yeah. I love "THE FRISCO KID"! Gene Wilder is incredible in that one, as well as in "YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN". Good call.

[@mrcapra]

Yes, yes, yes!!! The Frisco Kid! So-o-o underrated.

[@anyviolet]

You know very well what happened. He got a reversal of the judgment against him and Mr. One Arm and Dr. Nichols both went to jail. Also you said it at 37:55 - 39;00 except for the falling in love w/ the femails doctor part. :D :D :D

[@hkpew]

You said you didn't understand about the caterpillar drive, but I think you understood better than you think. Your problem is that you think of the primary characteristic of a jet engine being speed, but while a jet engine on an airplane can drive it faster than you could ever get with a prop plane it that isn't what makes it a jet. The caterpillar drive on the Red October was a jet engine, in that it propelled the sub by shooting a jet of water out of the back of the sub. The water jet and the way it was created was much quieter than the sort of sounds you get from a normal engine turning a prop, and for a military submarine being quiet is far more important that being fast.

[@Thewingkongexchange]

Hands down, one of the best films of the 90's.

[@campagnollo]

About the dam scene, these are the real possibilities of death. 1. The fall, self explanatory. 2. Hydraulics. The churning bubbling water don’t create much buoyancy and worse could actually drag you down and entrap you. Think of The Bolton Strid. 3. Hypothermia. Those waters are snow fed so he’s going to get cold real quick. But the dam itself is real. Cheoah Dam, North Carolina, USA.

[@faisalmemon285]

I’m surprised this movie was nominated for Best Picture.
