THE FUGITIVE | MOVIE REACTION! | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@krichardj]

American update for Mary: American police and justice system are divided between local, county, state and federal. US Marshal would have jurisdiction in a fugitive situation especially if there was inter-state possibilities. Local police typically do not like interference by FBI, ATF, SECRET SERVICE, MARSHAL, etc. Wyatt Earp is famous town Marshal, movie Tombstone is one of hundreds. He was made into a U.S. Marshal and hunted down a group of infamous criminals across several states. Remembered most for the Shootout at the O K Corral. Chicago dyes it’s river green on St. Patrick’s Day and has a huge drunken parade.

[@hkpew]

This is all correct, just want to expand a little. In most countries the equivalent of the US Marshal would probably outrank any local police with no questions asked. But because the US is a federal system with responsibilities apportioned between the sovereign States and the Federal government by the US constitution there are many circumstances in which the US Marshal, FBI agent, ATF agent, etc. really wouldn't have jurisdiction over local police. (At least in theory. In practice I think the federal courts have found reasons to expand the federal police power far beyond what a simple reading of the constitution would imply. But there are still limits.) That's not even considering jurisdictional questions between city or town, county, and state police agencies. But while there is plenty of room for arguments over jurisdiction and I don't doubt those arguments happen sometimes, I suspect that the movies exaggerate the frequency and degree to which these arguments occur. The agencies involved generally know what the score is, and under most circumstances the local police aren't going to complain about getting access to the additional resources the federal agencies have. I expect most of the time federal involvement starts when the local police request it. On the other hand, the situation at the end of this movie where the local police believe they are trying to capture someone who killed a member of their own force is definitely a case where such an argument might occur. (This movie implies that the locals actually plan to just gun him down on sight, something else that has happened but the movies probably exaggerate how frequent it is.)

There are so many things that help make this movie work. Tommy Lee Jones being one of the biggest ones but also the musical score, the fact that Julianne Moore’s role (one of her first film roles) was edited correctly and not turned into a romantic connection with Kimball like originally planned, and other details that make it flow so smoothly.

[@RLKmedic0315]

This movie was also the first time I remember seeing Andre Katsulas. (The one armed man). He is one of my all time favorite "Character Actors". He shows up in a ton of movies in small but impactful roles. And of course he was G'Kar in Babylon 5. He was just an awesome actor that deserves more recognition.

[@daveruhe4031]

If you liked this movie, and you liked Tommy Lee Jones as Sam Gerard, you might like "US Marshalls" where he reprises his role. Unfortunately, there is no Harrison Ford, but you do get Robert Downey Jr. and Wesley Snipes.

[@IamFourth17]

yes!

[@coinsaver]

Also check out Double Jeopardy (1999)* with both Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd, along with Bruce Greenwood. If you liked The Fugitive, you'll like this one too. * ( Note - the 1999 Double Jeopardy; there's 3 other different ones, not this one, with same title, filmed in 1955, 1992, & 1996 )

Wyatt Earp (the "American reference" in the beginning) was a law man (sheriff) in the old west. He was a real person. You can see him portrayed in the movie Tombstone.

[@timhilton7254]

Wyatt Earp was most known for being a Federal Marshall. There's your connection.

And the movie Wyatt Earp with Costner, which in my mind, in many ways, is better than Tombstone...... Also, you need to react to Witness if yer into Harrison Ford. Filmed in my hometown area.

They asked Wyatt Earp on his deathbed, what was the truth about the OK Corral. He replied, 'To hell with the truth, print the legend.'

[@mrtim5363]

Well Done! Glad you liked it. Your older US audience remembers this as "The Fugitive" a TV series that started in 1963 & ran for 4 seasons. So the general story of this movie is well known to us, but each week would be another clue getting closer to finding him & always of course, just missing him.

[@spydude38]

First and foremost, Congratulations! "The Fugitive" is based on the television series starring David Janssen. A great television series in it's own right, the movie turned out to be a great re-imagination for a more modern audience.

[@brandonreed09]

The TV series and movie were loosely based on Dr. Sam Sheppard. He was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife but then 10 years later was retried and found not guilty. He was subsequently released.

[@timhilton7254]

And that TV series was likely inspired by the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard. He was convicted of killing his wife. However, his conviction was overturned on appeal because of lack of evidence.

[@Logan_Baron]

@@timhilton7254 Inspired, but not really based on (Which I acknowledge that you are not saying it was, but just that some sources have credited it as "based on") since Sheppard never actually was a fugitive. But definitely inspired by a doctor who's wife was murdered, who he claimed was by someone else and swore he was innocent, and the idea of "what if someone was innnocent and ran".

[@campagnollo]

I know it’s a suspension of disbelief, but in the dam scene, if the fall or hydraulics didn’t do him in, the cold snow fed water would have. Btw, the dam’s real name is Cheoah Dam, but now has the nickname Fugitive Dam.

[@Logan_Baron]

Your instinct about the female doctor played by Julanne Moore was correct. Orginally she was supposed to play a larger role as a love interest. That storyline was dropped because A. They felt there was already so much story going on and B. Adding a new love interest so soon after his wife was murdered took away from how torn up he was supposed to be and be in such a loving relationship with his wife. And it threw a lot of people since she was a pretty big name actress for a small passing role.

[@mayorjimmy]

Julianne Moore wasn't a big name back when this came out. Her first major starring role came 2 years after this when she was in Assassins with Sly and Antonio Banderas.

[@Huntress59]

She wasn’t huge but she was big enough that people knew her name on sight. I was shocked at the time that her role was so small.

"Hey let's get this unknown actress and put her name as one of the stars of this movie". I remember the actual time, and yes people were actually surprised for her to appear in a passing part. It literally happened that people reacted that it was odd for her to be cast in a passing role. Literally.

[@moondog3056]

​@@Logan_Baron ​dude, no one had a clue who she was in 1993. As far as Assassins, she wasn't billed as one of the stars. Her name is so small and no where near the top billing of Stallone and Banderas It wasn't until 1997 and Jurassic World & Boogie Nights that she finally became known

Alec Baldwin was a much better Jack Ryan. Harrison Ford was just too old and grumpy for the role.

[@TampaCEO]

@@DeltaAssaultGaming I loved Harrison in this specific role. I don't see Alec as a responsible married man to that woman with those kids. He's way too cocky for my taste.

No, we didn't guess the villain until you did either. Also, it's a stereotype about Americans only because you see it in the movies, but trust me in real life, we all would stay in the car. 😅

[@william1611youtube]

I don't think everyone would stay in the car, lol. I've been a paramedic for 26+ years, the number of people I've seen try to get into bad situations (shootings, fights, bad wrecks, whatever) is staggering. And I'm just talking about the bystanders that want to be part of the action, not the family of those involved. I can easily believe that part of the movie.

[@scarr26]

All chasing bad guys and sometimes get in each other’s way.

If you enjoy this kind of thriller, I have a couple of much older recommendations for you, with twists and turns like this one but also reflecting how cinema history has influenced movies like The Fugitive. 1941's The Maltese Falcon and 1974's Chinatown should be on your to-do list. Both are recognized among the top 100 movies ever made by the American Film Institute. They are the stuff that Hollywood dreams are made of...

[@gumbomudderx7503]

Wyatt Earp was a famous US Marshal from old west times. Since Tommy Lee Jones character is also a US Marshal, that’s the connection. You should watch the sequel to this movie, also called US Marshals! They filmed part of it local here where I live, so I’ve seen it several times. Lol

[@IDLERACER]

😎👍 This is one of those movies that absolutely couldn't have been made only 15 years later. The plot revolves so much around phone booths and being able to put a trace on people via land lines in general. A couple of decades after it was made, payphones had pretty much completely disappeared from the American landscape. This was one of a few action oriented movies that Harrison Ford made in the early 1990s, including "Patriot Games" (1992) and "Clear And Present Danger" (1994).

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

I love this movie SO much. It was immensely popular here (topped the box office for like six or seven weeks straight) and nominated for multiple Oscars, of which Jones won (in one of the tightest races in Academy history). I look at the film as sort of a modern retelling of Les Miserables: An innocent man is desperate to return to normal life against the fierce officer who's desperate to convict him. It's a simple story told with strong acting, confident direction, and plenty of tense uncertainty. The movie is a massive crowd-pleaser and one of my absolute favorites of all time. Some fun facts: The remains of the famous train crash still lay where the scene took place, you can see the wreck even now on Google Earth. And there's a commentary track on the special edition dvd, which features Tommy Lee Jones, but after a brief introduction and a comment or two he stays silent for like 90 percent of the track. He literally says nothing almost the entire time, it's really kind of awkward. I think the dvd was also where I saw a special about detective work that I found interesting. I learned that if you're being followed you should try to mix into a crowd and appear shorter than you are because people tend to spot others based on height.

[@kinokind293]

When the film came out I was fortunate enough to attend a screening where the director spoke and answered questions about the film (God, I love living in a college town!). Among other things he talked about how they wrecked an actual locomotive in the derailment scene (which is apparently still there to be seen in the wilds of North Carolina), and how he went to all of the locations including the hotel at the end, to map out the course of the chase scene. And yes, Chicago does dye the river green every St. Patrick's day. Those Irish!

Tommy Lee Jones won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for playing Sam Gerard. 'The Fugitive' was a 1960s American series with David Janssen (Kimble) and Barry Morse (Gerard). The series finale is still one of the most viewed finales in American TV history. The series took inspiration from Victor Hugo's 'Les Miserables', in that Kimble (Jean Valjean) helps people in his quest for justice for himself while being hounded by the authorities led by Gerard (Javert). The film was nominated for several Oscars including Best Picture. Cosmo was played by Joe Pantoliano, who you've seen in 'The Matrix' as Cypher, the guy who betrayed Morpheus and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar. Jane Lynch did a lot of comedy films before doing 'Glee', which is what shot her to stardom. Julianne Moore has such a tiny role, I was amazed she did the film, because, at the time, she was a really hot commodity in films...her stock was skyrocketing.

[@johncourtright1632]

Hi Mary! Greetings from Chicago! Great reaction! It's important to remember, film directors love to exaggerate and mischaracterize. It's a major device to add tension to a movie. It can easily leave viewers with the mistaken impression that most U.S. cops would rather shoot Dr. Kimball on sight, no questions asked, than interview eye-witnesses to discover he wasn't the one that shot the officer on the train. And with respect to arguments over jurisdiction, Hans Pew in the comment below correctly states, "under most circumstances the local police aren't going to complain about getting access to the additional resources the federal agencies have. I expect most of the time federal involvement starts when the local police request it." However, if everyone in the film acted rationally, there would be no movie, so the film creators would rather make it look like everyone in any position of authority in the U.S. is incompetent, deaf, dumb, and blind. It gets a little tiring to be honest.

[@gavinrad1]

There's nothing even remotely unusual about Chicago PD issuing a shoot on sight order for an escaped murderer suspected of killing a transit cop in the time period this movie was released. Chicago's violent crime rate was so high in the early 90s that it dwarfs the present day skyrocketing crime rate in comparison.

By giving Kimble money he might be considered "aiding and abetting", but that is usually in reference to a crime in progress I believe and this was after the conviction. "harboring a fugitive" would be if he gave him shelter. He's rich as well, so harder to prosecute.

LOTS of love from Toronto Canada for you and your hubby and the wee one on the way. YOU are a gift and that's all I have to say about that. Now onto the reaction video... I need someone to go think up some sprinkle donuts for me :)

I also think you would enjoy the RomCom Six Days Seven Nights with Harrison Ford

[@jameshawkins6201]

Part of this movie was filmed in Paducah, KY where I live. In fact, Harrison Ford stayed in a house just half a mile from me. I never saw him but traffic was pretty bad for a couple of days with sightseers 😁

[@Huntress59]

This scene with the green river is in Chicago, Il. And yes, really do dye the River green every St. Patrick’s day ☘️

Mary... I thought it was you. I was walking on the side of the road and you didn't even slow down... you could have picked me up. 😉😉

[@claytonhaag6931]

Seen this multiple times to say the least. Still grabs ahold of you every time. Many more Harrison movies to go Mary...

Wyatt Earp was a cop in the old west, late 1800s. He was involved in a famous gunfight at the O. K. Corral.

as child i loved this show. The Fugitive is an American crime drama television series created by Roy Huggins and produced by QM Productions and United Artists Television. It aired on ABC from September 1963 to August 1967. David Janssen starred as Dr. Richard Kimble, a physician who is wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder and sentenced to death.

Iron Maiden has a kick ass song called The Fugitive based on the 60's TV series, check it out!

I always liked to think "Richard" went back to that emergency room later (après paperwork) to ask if the doctor would like a cup of coffee.

I got a car lift from an older woman after I had twisted my ankle and had a bad fall on my arm. It was double as kind because I was sweating from the run. That was just a few years ago, maybe when someone is injured its different but it was still very kind and I wish I had taken her name.

You might be already getting this from everybody, but Wyatt Earp is a famous historical figure from the American "West", and though he's usually more well known for events later in his life, for much of it he was a US Marshal, or maybe a State or City Marshal? Which in those days was probably basically not much different than a sheriff, but just a different government organization with different jurisdiction. Now Marshals, though also conducting other law enforcement responsibilities, primarily have a focus involved with the corrections (prison) system, and transporting or capturing of prisoners. Which was the joke of the sheriff referring to the marshals as Wyatt Earp. Wyatt Earp's exploits have basically become like folk lore in America as one of the most prominent figures from his era, and lots of fiction has been created dramatizing them over the years. At least a handful of movies have been made about him. One of the classic ones is "Gunfight At The O.K. Corral" from the 50s with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. The popular one to react to on KZbin is "Tombstone", which is a real fun one that's more of an action based western based on the later events of his life which he's most famous for, that being the aforementioned gunfight at the O.K. Corral, where he's played by Kurt Russell, and Val Kilmer's portrayal of his friend Doc Holiday is basically beloved by everyone for being just so cool. A movie actually called "Wyatt Earp" also came out about the same time though which is more of a dramatic look at Wyatt Earp's whole life, and Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday are played by Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid. That one seems to have been kind of forgotten in the shadow of Tombstone's popularity, but if memory serves, it was a really good one directed by Lawrence Kasdan. You might not recognize that name, but he wrote some of the original Star Wars movies, among many other things, and has also directed quite a few Iconic movies. "Silverado" is a classic western from the 80s that also has a young Kevin Costner among a pretty large and great ensemble cast that Lawrence Kasdan directed, and that he and his brother wrote as a tribute to the westerns they grew up on. I'll spare you me making this even longer by giving a lesson on the history of the western genre, but with "Stagecoach", director John Ford, who's essentially the grandfather of American film, kicked off an era of Hollywood westerns that are famous for creating an image of "the West that never was" that lasted for roughly four decades and were distinct from the westerns before, and the westerns after that, which changed due to changes in the culture brought about in the 60s and 70s. "Silverado" is a real fun one though that incorporates a lot of the elements that were typical of that era. This is way off topic, but Lawrence Kasdan also wrote and directed "French Kiss" with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan (ironically Dennis Quaid's ex wife), which is one of my favorite romantic comedies that I'd love to see you react too. Also, I'm not really sure if the original fugitive was based on a true story. I suppose it may have been, but this movie was based of the original TV show from the 60s.

Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy!! I just found out from you! You've already got that motherly glow. Anyway, you're going to enjoy this film so much. It's excellent and filled with action and drama.

In the USA there are more than 4 000 police organizations. They are federal, state and local (city/county). There are also private police, large companies like Disneyworld, universities, etc have their own police organizations under state law. Conflicts happen, but are not that common, they share a lot of stuff, like online systems, etc.

[@WhiskyCanuck]

You should try to fit Witness (1985) into your schedule - a really great Harrison Ford movie that doesn't seem to be that well remembered these days.

[@torbjornkvist]

Wyatt Earp. Tommy Lee Jones' character is a US Marshal - a federal police organization that protects the federal legal system, transporting federal prisoners and hunting down federal fugitives. Keyword: Federal. The most famous US Marshal was Wyatt Earp (1848-1929). He is a character in many western films, like Tombstone and Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner). Keyword: OK Corral.
