Girard is featured in a "sequel", called US Marshalls. It doesn't involve Richard Kimble at all, it's about another escaped person, and is a ton of fun also. It also stars Robert Downey, Jr and Wesley Snipes.

[@scottknode898]

It is one of Robert Downey Jr movies that he made when he was dealing with drug addiction and had been dealing with previously serving time in prison for drug convictions. Downey Jr said he didn’t enjoy working on the film.

[@scottdarden3091]

Even better than the first

[@CatsOverdrive]

Also, while not a direct sequel like "U.S. Marshals", "Double Jeopardy (1999)" is another 90's movie starring Tommy Lee Jones chasing some suspect. And if that's still not enough, I'd also add "Hunted (2003)", a bit more darker than those other titles, and it has that Sicario dude, Benicio Del Toro as the perp.

[@csmelen]

"What a loyal friend" LOL. Once again, Dr. Charles Nichols fools reactors with his charm and so called loyalty to Richard. Never gets old. Great reaction as usual you two.

[@markjohnson2079]

@25:40 "What a loyal friend...."

[@EricSarahReact]

Hahaha we really were fooled

[@rolandsimone2573]

Tommy Lee Jones won the Oscar for his role in the Fugitive. Good performances. Good banter from you two as usual. Great reaction

[@EricSarahReact]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ADifferentVibe]

TLJ gave a great performance but the Oscar should have went to Ralph Fiennes for Schindler's List. Of course, the Academy then would never give an Oscar to a performer who portrayed a Nazi war criminal, no matter how kind and professional is the actor.

[@rogermorris9696]

The movie was based on a 60's TV show, and that was based on the real life case of Dr Sam Sheppared who was convicted and ten found innocent of the murder of his wife.

[@FirstLast-pu6gp]

I used to watch the reruns with my dad back in the 80s. Such a great show.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

I got into the show within the last two years or so. It's insanely good and became a new favorite and this is a very worthy version but I hope it wouldn't persuade people to think they've seen the best and don't need to watch the show, it's very clear it was a pioneer of realism and plain old good storytelling on TV and totally refutes the idea TV just suddenly became good decades later.

[@matthewstroud4294]

@@bespectacledheroine7292 The TV show demonstrated a tremendous sense of benevolence among ordinary people. Kimble would continually have new encounters with total strangers and they would simply take him as they found him.

[@emsleywyatt3400]

David Jansen was a phenomenal actor.

[@PhenomProductions23]

My father & Grandfather saw the original tv show Fugitive when it was new, I see the re-runs that they still show on certain classic tv channels like MeTv, Cozi, GetTv etc. In My opinion, I like the movie version actors better than the original cast. Especially tommy Lee Jones, I think he's a better Marshal Gerard than the original guy.

[@thisisscorpio6024]

You saw a complete movie. A film that completely satisfies. The Untouchables is one of those films, too.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

speaking of The Untouchables kzbin.info/www/bejne/on2Ud6aimp2MY8k great reaction

[@tonyjackson8363]

Tommy Lee Jones plays the same character in "U S Marshall ". Another really good fun movie!

[@YoureMrLebowski]

23:34 "How much of a friend is he? We'll see." 😬 indeed we will...

[@YoureMrLebowski]

42:21 "He used his car, didn't he?" he did. good memory. 👍🏼

[@shainewhite2781]

Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Supporting Actor for Tommy Lee Jones. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Clint Eastwood, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Patrick Swayze and John Travolta were considered for Richard Kimble. Jon Voight and Gene Hackman were considered for US Marshal Sam Gerard.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

25:37 "What a loyal friend." 😬

[@shainewhite2781]

I found out that the train crash was done for real and most of the scene was done in one take, as there were 5 different cameras set up to get the scene right.

[@EricSarahReact]

We wondered if it was real! That's pretty impressive 😯

[@YoureMrLebowski]

10:24 "what a train wreck." the cheese is strong in this one 🧀😁

[@YoureMrLebowski]

16:30 "No way!" 😮 great expression sarah. you opened your eyes on "no" and _a little more_ on "way". that's talent. natural talent.

[@LeviBoldock]

The wrecked train and bus are still there in Dillsboro, North Carolina, where the film crew left them abandoned, 30 years ago.

[@jh5131]

That's crazy!!

[@1MahaDas]

This was one of the better reaction videos on this film yet. Most other reaction hosts cut the content by 20 minutes or more, but not so here! Thanks for sharing your work.

[@geoffgreen2105]

11:04- And now the movie starts for real. The Marshals are far and away the best part of this film.

[@Kd_9562]

If you want more harrison ford movies I highly recommend Presumed Innocent and Witness. Both great movies and Harrison gets to stretch his acting talents out some.

[@scottknode898]

Should also watch Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Indiana Jones trilogy and Air Force One.

[@dupersuper1938]

Regarding Henry, Mosquito Coast, Working Girl, Apocalypse Now, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, American Graffiti...the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies of course...

[@reesebn38]

Along with The Fugitive Witness and Presumed Innocent are his best movies. I just rewatched Presumed Innocent. Just brilliant! One of the best courtroom dramas. Great story. Harrison is excellent in it and the late great Raul Julia was such an excellent actor. Witness is my favorite. Just a perfect one of a kind film by one of my favorite filmmakers Peter Weir.

[@siumahin9049]

always makes me laugh when everyone got fool by the amazing loyal bestie Richard 😂😂

[@FirstLast-pu6gp]

This is based off a black and white tv show from the 60s I think. It is a cool show to this day. The good doctor would help the various people he would meet while on the run from Lt. Gerard.

[@shainewhite2781]

This was the very first Harrison Ford movie I watched on VHS when I was 4-5 years old and it's over of my favorite films. I even watched the Indiana Jones movies on NBC as well

[@YoureMrLebowski]

41:28 he fooled us all.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

One of my favorite endings ever. Just an amazing story, great acting, and the music was just spot on for every situation. The type of movie meant to see on the big screen, like the movies of old.

[@jbacunn]

This is one of a handful of movies I consider to be perfect. The script is great, the acting, the pacing of the story. It's perfect.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

33:23 "oh my God his foot!" 😮

[@hdtripp6218]

She heard Richards footsteps on the stairs and says "Richard he's trying to kill me"

[@YoureMrLebowski]

1:04 "...RIGHT NOW..." definitely all caps 🙂

[@landail5681]

For a couple of Ohioans, I sub. 👍😄👍 Been loving your reactions for awhile now, keep up the great job you two!

[@WaywardVet]

"I don't care" is the best line in this movie if you ask me.

[@paulhewes7333]

21:30 Gerard hesitates for a second before looking back through the door because he wasnt sure he hadnt just killed his own officer.

[@zatornagirroc7175]

Nice job for one of my favorite movies. I am a first time watcher, and you two are fun. I will keep an eye out for more from you!

[@EricSarahReact]

Thank you!!

[@YoureMrLebowski]

1:22 😮😆 haven't seen that reaction before

[@andymason3555]

Great reaction! I look forward to watching more from you!

[@ShaunKarisma]

I just know this one’s gunna be good huge fav of mine have missed you guys !!

[@EricSarahReact]

Appreciate that man!

[@dudlife2892]

Zomggg, what a small world, I didn't even have to google it because my birthday is July 13th too!! I've done my fair share of bragging about sharing a bday with Harrison Ford, as well as Cheech and Patrick Stewart and now am proud to add Sarah to that list!

[@tonyjanney1654]

One of the neat things the film-makers did was put us, the audience, in Gerard's place. Kimball shares his discoveries with the Marshal's so we get to work on solving the under-lying murder along with the police. It adds to the audience involvement. We aren't just watching a movie, we get intellectually involved in trying to put the pieces together throughout the film.

[@bigdaddyeb56]

Great Movie and Reaction ! Good Job Sarah & Eric

[@NVKyleBrown]

Most of the movie's original audience would have been familiar with the premise from the 60's TV show, so the movie could kind of skip through the background quickly. It seems to puzzle and mislead more modern audiences, which is interesting.

[@notesandlettersbillcushing7741]

Always loved the train wreck scene--if Harrison Ford ain't running from giant rolling rocks, it's a runaway train!

[@scottdarden3091]

Tommy Lee Jones aged in the mini series Lonesome Dove, my favorite Tommy Lee performance.

[@Brian-ov5gi]

Major props for recalling Nichols borrowing Richard's car at the beginning before the reveal!!!! Great reaction!!!

[@ianhill8345]

Another great reaction guys

[@thisisscorpio6024]

So, like Diehard is a Christmas movie, The Fugitive is for St Patrick's Day. He was a lucky bastard. One step ahead of the authorities.

[@joecarr5412]

The last tv episode 60's when one armed man was caught,was tv's highest audience ever, until 1980 when we found out " Who Shot J.R."- "Dallas" ( which was beaten by last episode of M*A*SH ) 1983 & still is #1 !

[@maverickmathematica536]

It's hard to see Gerard as the antagonist here, he's so likable! Sarah called it first, I believe, that they'd be working together by the end of the movie. Great reaction from you both! Keep 'em coming!

[@paulhewes7333]

Deputy US Marshal Gerard isnt the antagonist. He's a man doing his job and is a step behind Dr. Kimball's detective work. The antagonist is the shadowy figures behind the scenes that set up Dr. Kimball and murdered his wife.

[@maverickmathematica536]

@@paulhewes7333 That's a matter of opinion and while I respect yours, I also disagree.

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Amazing classic The Fugitive starring by Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. For this film Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar for best supporting actor and this film is based on the tv series of the same name starring by David Janssen. Thank you Eric & Sarah great reaction next time U.S. Marshalls with Tommy Lee Jones reprising his role👍👍👍

[@doubleDD274]

The trope of dying your hair to change your look goes back to the original tv series in the '60's. David Jansen is gray in the beginning and later dyed his hair. The woman picking him up hitching comes from the TV show as well . Kimble was the James Bond of fugitives!!! Women always fell for him and helped him. Ford even put the Kimble limp into his character an homage to the original show. A lot of fun for fans of the show and a great movie for newcomers!

[@antondzajajurca7797]

If I really focus, Sarah does look 80 years old. Happy birthday Sarah :D

[@YoureMrLebowski]

13:07 called it ☎️

[@BrahmaDBA]

If you like watching this you should definitely watch the unofficial sequel of this called US Marshall. It has Tommy Lee Jones and his team reprising their role in this film as well as young RDJ and Wesley Snipes.

[@Poss1]

Happy ya'll are bringing this one. One of my favorites. Smart, quick, has action amid great storytelling, and makes sense. Gonna enjoy this. Here we go! :)

[@paulinegallagher7821]

I knew it was the French doctor the minute he handed over something and said 'Thanks for the loner, the keys are downstairs' and Kimble joked 'Is there gas in it?' I was wondering why a doctor would need to borrow another doctors car.

[@V01t2]

This movie was an incredibly big deal when it hit theaters. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@TheWebcrafter]

16:06 - This movie is based upon the 1960s TV series by the same name. 120 episodes would see Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen), while being pursued by U.S. Marshalls, arrive in a different town each week. He would either get caught up in or help resolve a situation (at risk of getting caught) and leave town just in time as U.S. Marshall Gerard (Barry Morse) arrived.

[@TheHulk2008]

That's no bullshit. If there's a murder inside someone's home of a family or a spouse they'll look at the husband or the wife first .

[@ericmarois6960]

That was fun. This is a great movie. It was nice to see it for the first time again through your eyes. Thank you.

[@christopherhamm4712]

React to Harrison Ford in "Witness" from 1985. Ford was nominated for an Oscar, and the movie was up for Best Picture. In it, he plays a police detective protecting an Amish boy who witnessed a murder.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

29:47 it's all in the eyes with sarah

[@randomvideoconnoisseur563]

If you like this, you would love, "Double Jeopardy" with Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd. Amazing story and edge of your seat movie.

[@eugenescealfjr9383]

Dr. Sam was sent to prison & worked in the Pharmacy. HE later hired F. Lee Bailey to get him out of prison & F. Lee did it. F. Lee later defended O. J.

[@julesvincent1113]

I sincerely adore y’alls chemistry, and I dig the reaction yos 🤟🏻

[@steve-eq8kx]

You guys were great!

[@jessharvell1022]

the 90s were a great time for the action/thriller hybrid. if you're looking for another, i'd recommend michael mann"s heat. it's much less of a fun summer blockbuster than the fugitive, grittier and more downbeat, but it also features great cops vs. criminal(s) cat-and-mouse stuff interspersed with some pretty amazing action set-pieces.

[@eugenescealfjr9383]

The Real guy was the illegit son of the Cleveland Police Chief. A bald headed guy who was the Sheppards window washer & he wore a shaggy wig. Later convicted of tricking some old lady of signing a blank piece of paper under the guise of taking it to a fortune teller & then wrote a will naming himself as her benificary & pushing her down the stairs to kill her. But he got busted. HooRay!

[@windsorkid7069]

Great reaction guys. Glad I'm a subscriber.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

14:01 who did it better, John Rambo or Richard Kimball? discuss.

[@EricSarahReact]

Props to Kimble for sure!

[@doorran]

interestingly there is a sequel to this movie. Harrison ford is not in it but all the US marshal characters are including Tommy Lee Jones. The Movie is call, "U.S. Marshals".

[@JL-bn6kf]

Well done E&S, lots of twists and you were on top of every thing as best anyone could be. The original TV series was pretty interestingly done for the 60s, but this movie summed up everything and gave closure to the story. An early HF movie I think you'd enjoy is American Graffiti a different minor role altogether, you'd recognize some big film names in that one.

[@davidmckie7128]

An early outing for Harrison Ford is "American Graffiti" (1973) and that is worthy of a watch.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

47:24 to the face!

[@YoureMrLebowski]

another great Harrison Ford film is Presumed Innocent (1990). fun fact: there are zero reactions to this movie on KZbin? Zee row

[@kennethmccullah4905]

Great reaction to a great movie. As an Ohio resident myself I can vouch for the bland grey scenery you mentioned early in the video lol.

[@ryanfreeborn4252]

When Tommy Lee Jones steps out of the helicopter at the dam scene, he claims he nearly lost his foot. Watch it again.

[@dreamcruzer4743]

I found your channel during The Last of Us. Enjoying your reactions.

Welcome! Glad you enjoy the videos :)

[@sparksdrinker5650]

Another fun 1990’s thriller is In The Line Of Fire starring Clint Eastwood and John Malcovich

[@shredd5705]

The murderer 100% revealed himself to Gerard when he said "You don't see him in the pictures, do you?" He knew exactly who Kimble is, and that he wasn't on that fishing trip or in the photos. And Gerard picked up on that. How can this guy be so sure, if he doesn't know Kimble, does he remember all the doctors in some random photos by heart. He does, because they were the doctors in on the conspiracy (15 people verified his alibi).

[@YoureMrLebowski]

8:03 i'm sure he is _very_ upset about the situation.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

Knives Out (2019) would be a nice reaction for two amateur sleuths 🙂

18:15 this is the only part of this movie that I don't like. It's clearly a dummy. and the way it falls is head first which would have killed him. practical effects aren't always awesome. 🙂

[@craigm3353]

Saw this in theater and it was great. I got a movie reaction suggestion for you guys it one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.

[@scottdarden3091]

The train wreck was real, obviously only one take, so they had 13 cameras. The scene cost 1.5 M. The wreck is still there and you can take a short hike and go see it.

[@tigerburn81]

_The Fugitive_ was a archetypical "TNT movie."

[@timstack4700]

My dad was born on the exact same day with Harrison Ford.

[@stankinsteinfrankfurter9005]

Theirs a great western called The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchet thats was awesome flick! You guys should consider reacting to it!

YOU GUYS SHOULD DO 2 ALSO ( US MARSHALL ) NO HARRISON BUT IT'S STILL TOMMY LEE, ROBERT DOWNEY AND THE FUGITIVE IS ( WESLEY SNIPES ) :)

[@TequilaToothpick]

Absolutely fantastic movie.

[@user-bv8uf4mn8b]

Hello fellow Buckeyes. You probably don't know the origin of this story is based on a true story from the 1950s of a doctor from Ohio, Bay Village near Cleveland who claimed his wife was murdered by a one-armed man. The media feasted on the story and the fervor led to a TV series from the 1960s and eventually to this movie from 1993 that I think will go down as a classic.
