If you're wondering why Julianne Moore is billed so high despite her small role (and she wasn't even that well known at the time), the character originally had a much larger role and ended up as Kimble's love interest. This was then cut down to just her few scenes at the hospital, as Andrew Davis realized Kimble getting a new girlfriend would clash horribly with his continued grief for his wife.

"This is a man who knows he's innocent."😂🤣😂🤣😂 He's friend definitely knew he was innocent.

I love the Freudian slip in Nichols’ speech after he sees Kimball: “…continued dishonest, uh, honest…”

This was based on a popular television series in the 1960s. Most of the entire nation (including me and my family) watched the final episode as Richard Kimble finally caught up with the one-armed man. It was an intensely gratifying feeling to have an adventure that lasted several seasons on TV come to a satisfactory conclusion.

I'm always conflicted when I watch your channel. At first I'm like, "You haven't watched The Fugitive?!?!", then I go into, "Oh man! You get to watch The Fugitive!!!!".

“This is a man who knows he’s innocent.”

Tommy Lee Jones got an Oscar for this, incredibly rare for a performance in an action film (the only other one that readily comes to mind is Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight).

[@rogermorris9696]

The movie is based on a 60's TV show, that was in turn based on the real life case of Dr Sam Shepard who was convicted, then found innocent of, the murder of his wife.

Fun fact, the actor who plays Kimball’s lawyer is Richard Cusack, the father of John and Joan Cusack. He’s a great Chicago actor. BTW, another film that shows off the city well is a teen flick from 1980 called My Bodyguard. It was Joan Cusack’s film debut, as well as Adam Baldwin’s after he had just graduated from a suburban high school, and has bit roles by two other Chicago actors who later became famous, George Wendt and Tim Kazurinsky. I highly recommend watching that film because I personally think it is better than any of John Hughes’s teen films of that decade, although it is nearly forgotten today. It also stars Matt Dillon in just his second movie role.

Not only is there a sequel (US Marshals- ok but not as good) which features the marshals and doesn’t include Richard Kimble, but you weren’t far off with the Julianne Moore comments. There were deleted scenes of the two of them being caught up in a whirlwind romance but it didn’t fit with the story so they cut it.

[@jackmessick2869]

This film was based on a 1960s television series, where the chase went on over about 5 seasons. Dr Kimball was played by David Janssen, who would set up a fake identity in a town, help someone with a problem, then nearly get caught and have to move on. This was the first Television series to ever have a true finale, wrapping up the premise of the whole show, when Dr. Kimball finds the one armed man.

This has always been a remote drop movie for me. Entertaining from beginning to end.

[@allanrose3661]

Running from the train reminds me of the whole tornado safety thing. You can drive left or right of the ground track. LOL

[@jkhoover]

BTW- The absolute BEST nonstop never lets up continuous action movie is SPEED. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

[@sdhartley74]

to your commenter who said Cinema should be art, not just entertainment... I agree... Art is intended to elicit emotion, and excitement, happiness, enjoyment... these are emotions. Art doesn't have to be serious!

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

My dad used to love the TV show this film was based on. On it, the one-armed man Dr. Kimble was always looking for didn't have a prosthetic arm. He was hunting him from 1963 - 1967.

[@kathyastrom1315]

Such a great film! My two favorite things about it are the team of Marshals and their interactions with each other, and the director’s fantastic use of the city of Chicago. The team have the best lines, not just Tommy Lee Jones, and we get to see all of them at work, especially the youngest member. As for the city, they really utilize the neighborhoods, not just the touristy sites downtown. In fact, I think this might be the first time the neighborhood of Pullman is featured on screen-it’s where the one-armed man lives.

I don't go to the movies for art. I go for entertainment. If a movie makes you feel, I believe it qualifies as art.
