That scene in “The Mask” being a reference to the series “The Fugitive”, which this film is a loose adaptation of… When it aired its finale, it was the highest-rated thing on US television; this record would be broken by “M.A.S.H.”, which has held it ever since (the sitcom “Cheers” holds second place).

[@ryangreen2006]

Everyone always laughs at the "I didn't kill my wife" "I don't care line". It is not meant to be a joke, the Marshal truly doesn't care if he did or did not commit the crime, his job isn't to give him his sentencing, it's to capture him.

[@Logan_Baron]

Exactly. He's not the judge, or even an attorney, or a detective investigating the case. I Love Jones' character and the fact that it's such a great choice that he's the adversary (seen more than the actual killer) but not the bad guy, and in another movie he'd be admired for his tenacity and skill of doing such a great job.

That was very much a carryover from the series. While it didn't happen every single episode, Kimble was often faced with a choice between 'doing the right thing' and 'risking capture.' He always went with 'doing the right thing.' He even saved and/or spared Gerard's life more than once.

The series final for the original tv series - where the one armed man is finally caught and Dr. Kimball cleared his name - had a record breaking 78 millions viewers! The tv series itself was inspired by a real life murder case.

[@mikealvarez2322]

It was the case of Dr. Sam Sheppard who was convicted and served 10 years until F. Lee Bailey took the case. He tore the prosecution's case apart in the new trial in the early 60s. Sheppard was found not guilty but he had lost his skills as a surgeon. He began to drink heavily and died at age 48. Later on his son had his mother's body exhumed for DNA testing. The real killer's DNA was present; finally closing the case on the Sheppard murder. One of the reasons Dr. Sheppard was originally found guilty was due to the circus atmosphere surrounding the first trial. The news media was the chief culprit in making it impossible for Dr. Sheppard to get a fair trial. The second trial took place around the same time the TV series The Fugitive started airing. I remember those days like it was yesterday. I also remember watching every episode of The Fugitive and all the hype around the last episode. So sad about what happened to Sheppard.😢

[@EShelby2127]

"Samuel Holmes Sheppard (December 29, 1923 - April 6, 1970) was an American osteopath. He was convicted of the 1954 murder of his pregnant wife, Marilyn Reese Sheppard, but the conviction was eventually overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, which cited a "carnival atmosphere" at the trial. Sheppard was acquitted at a retrial in 1966" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Sheppard

[@charleshays5407]

You should watch the 1963-1967 series The Fugitive, starring David Jansen in the title role. The final episode on August 29, 1967, where they caught the one-armed man, was the highest rated episode of all time. (It was eclipsed by the Who Shot J.R. episode on Dallas, and the final episode of MASH. Speaking of MASH, do a review of the 1970 movie).

[@Mister_Samsonite]

U.S. Marshals have certain functions that fall under their authority, and investigating isn't one of them. They primarily chase fugitives, handle witness protection and prisoner transports. It wasn't Gerard's job to help Richard prove he was innocent, or even care, but in the end he DID care.

[@merikano2985]

And Gerard's professionalism and unrelenting resolve to catch Richard ironically is what leads him to following the clues to Sykes and later Nichols. He may think things are interesting and coincidental but Gerard doesn't really begin to change his mind about the situation until after "the door" right before the parade escape, as he shot multiple times at Richard with the only thing keeping Richard safe was that bulletproof glass. But afterward when the evidence just keeps piling up he changes tactics. He's still looking for Richard but it's because he knows he's innocent and a believer in true justice, Gerard wants to see justice be done for both Richard and Helen. Also Nichols really pisses him off.

[@wesleytom1283]

Marshals would have to do some investigative work/profiling in trying to track down a fugitive. Once Gerard has the encounter with Kimball and the inconsistencies in the case information shows up, Gerard questions the entire case. He IS a LEO in the end.

Seconded, and to add some extra enticement for Mary I will point out that US Marshals was a pretty big role for RDJ. While the movie wasn’t super successful at the time this was one of his first movie roles when he was getting back to acting after his bad years and subsequent recovery. So it’s an important touchstone on his journey to eventually becoming America’s Sweetheart many years later and he gives a great performance too.

[@keithgoodnight3463]

It was Gerard's duty to bring Kimble in. As a US Marshall he can't say "Oh, he's innocennt so we'll just let him flee custody and pursue vigilante justice." Gerard has to bring him in until a court says otherwise. It's a sign of how determined he is to do his duty that when he does figure out Richard is innocent and trying to prove it, he uses that in order to track him down.

[@johnnehrich9601]

I remember back when this was a weekly tv show, and episode after episode had him looking (seemingly in vain until the series finale) for the "one-arm man." Became a sort of trope.

Happens all the time sadly. A lot of people still think circumstantial evidence isn't enough to convict someone because it's nearly impossible to someone's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, when it definitely is enough for a jury to convict if they're presented with enough circumstantial evidence. Though this would have been a death sentence case which requires a higher burden of proof to convict usually, and a high earning doctor like Richard definitely would have been able to afford the best attorneys available, so it's reasonable to assume he might have gotten off, especially with forensics nowadays. All it would have taken was a gun shot residue swab to show he hadn't fired a firearm.

Her first reaction is to say his name; but she is so weak her voice has no tone or inflection, so it can be interpreted as her, hallucinating she is talking to Richard; her, trying to call Richard for help or her, describing that Richard is her murderer.

OMG! I love your look today, never change a thing! 😍 ok, well you can change if you want to, but seriously, you're going to have to do something amazing to beat this look.❤

[@firstnamelastname-bu1xm]

the 90s was the thriller era, the fugitives a great one among many

[@Luxington1]

Absolutely, they were believable and made for adults. The Fugitive, In the Line of Fire, Ransom, Hunt for Red October. It really does seem like they don't make them like they used to, as far as what I see.

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@Luxington1 it was edgy

[@JRFROMWBC]

Now that you've seen this, time to watch "Wrongfully Accused." Leslie Nielsen!

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

Agreed. What a great movie. I don’t even recall why I went to see it but man, I was blown away. The everyday guy who never gives up is always a great opportunity. And they ran with it.

[@marvinsarracino116]

Mary was so taken in by the good doctor... Then she finds out he's the criminal! Great little twist and MC fell for it! Hahaha great reaction to a classic movie! I Luv Tommy Lee Jones character! I hope you watch the follow up movie "US Marshalls"! This time he chases Wesley Snipes! Thanks Mary Cherry 🍒❤️💛

[@BigArt8844]

watch the second movie "US Marshals"

[@bryanwilson4386]

You need to watch US Marshals, which was he sequel (same Marshals, different fugitive). It's a strong sequel, with Wesley Snipes at the highest point of his career and Robert Downey Jr near the lowest point of his, and Tommy Lee Jones as bad ass as ever. I wish they had made more than two films in this franchise...

[@balthasarEF]

Such a great film. Harrison Ford is amazing in this role.

[@spshc]

You may want to check out some Hitchcock movies like North-by-Northwest, Spellbound, Rear Window, Vertigo, Strangers on a Train, Rope, Psycho

[@justindavison5920]

One of the things I really like in this film is that Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are antagonists to each other, but neither one is a bad guy or a villain. Ford is trying to solve a mystery and save himself from a death sentence and Jones is just doing his job. They are both very competent at what they are doing, but from different points of view they are each the hero.

[@theylied1776]

When they started shooting this movie, they only had a quarter of the script done. They made the rest up as they went along. They knew how it ended, but that was pretty much it.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Ok

[@Yuurei21]

The Fugitive is one of my all time favorites. The scene with the kid still makes me get choked up. Think about how much it must be emotionally overwhelming for the character. To have his life ripped away from him and out of a selfless act to get a small piece of it back. Ford played it well. Cherry, your remark about doctors and your mom being a doctor. She must be one of the good ones. Which is rare because I work in healthcare and I have met many doctors who don't give a damn their patients.

[@TerbInYourFace]

I use "plenty space" all the time. The spoof of this, Wrongfully Accused, is a great Leslie Neilsen movie

[@VirtualTransit]

I live in the Chicago area! It's really amazing. Worth a visit if you haven't been yet! St Louis is a city next to Illinois. About a 4.5 hour drive SSW of Chicago. Great reaction btw! One of my favorite films set in Chicago.

[@caldwellkelley3084]

Great new studio! I'm very sure that you enjoyed this one! All the actors were hitting their marks and it's a great story. I'm sure your patreons told you there was a true story that inspired this and the original TV show. Well Done and Thanks!

[@danieldebono7116]

You should watch a movie called Wrongfully Accused. It's a direct spoof of this movie with Leslie Nielsen playing the fugitive and Richard Crenna (Colonel Trautman from Rambo) playing the pursuing cop.

[@Heru3005]

There's something special to be said for 90's action-thrillers. They really did have it perfected back then.

[@Nitedawg1]

That scene when he shoots the door reminds me of another Harrison Ford moment. Close the blast doors, close the blast doors….open the blast doors.

[@toddpatrick8254]

That new hair color of yours is beautiful! It definitely suits you Miss Cherry. Keep up the great videos.

[@SRS13Rastus]

Tommy Lee Jones character (Samuel Gerrard) and his team are also in a spin off/stand alone movie along with Wesley Snipes and Roberty Downey Jr called US Marshalls (1998). You should seriously check that out as well cause Tommy is at his best in that movie too (When isn't Tommy great in any movie he's in??).

[@johnishikawa2200]

I saw this movie in 1993 when it was released , and I almost forgot how good it was . One thing that I remember is that right after the train wreck scene most of the audience in the theater applauded !

[@sachaallari592]

I LOVE this film, There is a sequel called US Marshals With Tommy Lee Jones hunting Wesley Snipps starring RDJ

[@goofyrulez7914]

This is one of the rare cases where they not only did justice to the TV show it came from, they made it better!

[@chefskiss6179]

p.s. If you want another old-school thriller, please put Tom Cruise's' The Firm (1993) on yer list. It has an even 'thumpier' piano soundtrack 😂

[@corralescoyote]

Dave Grusin on the keys. Dude did the soundtrack for tons of movies, including Tootsie, The Goonies, Fabulous Baker Boys, etc.

[@chefskiss6179]

@@corralescoyote I've been hoping for so long someone would do FBB!

[@corralescoyote]

@@chefskiss6179 Oh yeah, me too! It’s really great, even aside from the iconic scene with Pfeiffer and J Bridges. There’s a lot of feeling in it, and as a former gigging musician, it’s pretty realistic in that sense.

[@chefskiss6179]

@@corralescoyote I've just stopped bringing it up after a while. I feel if ya don't have the patreon 'clout' you just won't be heard. Then you go and remind me of it, lol. Out of so many channels, I have suggested it the most to Popcorn In Bed's two sisters, saying "you can just sit back and have a big ole goofy grin on yer faces the whole time." And yet, nada :/

Yes, there's a game like this. I played it when I was a kid. It's called 'Hide-and-Go-Seek'.

The dam Kimble jumped from is the Cheoah Dam on the Tennessee river, 15 miles NW of Robbinsville, NC. I had a cabin in those beautiful mountains. The train was also in NC.

[@chucklos391]

Mary I knew you had good taste when you said you loved this movie repeatedly. One of my all time favorite and I always make my younger girlfriends watch this. They have the same reaction you do. Adorable. Special movie.

[@biguy617]

This movie is based off an old TV series. The series was very good. This movie was so great that they rebooted the series with Tim Daily playing the character after he did the Superman animated series. I love this movie. Tommy Lee Jones is great. Tom plays this kind of character in three movies. This movie. Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd and US Marshalls which stars Wesley Snipes.

[@MKF30]

Great reaction. LOL@ The "and he's like might just jo" when he was dreaming of his wife Wow...Mary almost made me choke on my water🤣This is an awesome movie.

[@teamjosh122pstars]

I can 100% understand the frustration but the US Marshalls job isn't to prove Richard's guilt or innocence, it's to re-capture him.

[@danthebev]

Most people forget there's a sequel to this called U.S. Marshals which was great with Wesley Snipes and RDJ!

[@thomashiggins9320]

This is based on a TV series from the 1960s that was also fantastic. I used to watch it in syndication, when I was a kid.

[@BrianD0313]

now you need to watch "US Marshals"

[@JedHead77]

“There’s no water in here”!😂😂😂

[@PatrickCooperPhotography-nw1pp]

Damn.

[@robburns4176]

Great soundtrack for this film, I particularly love the "here we go" music cues. The train crash and dam locations (Cheoah Dam) are both actually in North Carolina. The remnants of the train crash can still be visited today.

[@faafio]

I saw this in the theater when it came out. I remember, the train crash scene was EPIC on the BIG screen, with the theater sound. Awesome.

[@johnnygood4831]

The one thing you have to remember about the law is, their objective is to get convictions, not find out the truth. Now that you have seen this, you have to watch the Leslie Nielson version, Wrongfully Accused where his is looking for a 1 armed, one eyed, one legged man. It's hilarious.

[@MATTHEW-rp3kq]

this is one of those rare movies i can watch over and over and never get tired of it

[@TedBrogan]

Such a quality movie. Tommy Lee Jones's character was literally a window into what real field agents across the country are like. The dedication and intelligence of these men and women who protect all of us. Just love the portrayal. You could tell he did lots of prep.

I was loving it when you were so enamored with the ‘nice’ doctor. I couldn’t wait until you found out, I was the same way the first time I saw this movie. One of my All Time favorite movies and I watch it around every St Patrick’s Day ….

[@robroar176]

What always got me about this story was that I heard that the Fugitive was loosely based on a n real case where a Dr. Shepard was accused of his wife's murder and was found later to be innocent and acquitted for her murder.

[@wncjan]

If you ever visit North Carolina, you can see what's left of bus and train just outside the small town of Dillsboro. Not far from there, north of Robbinsville is Cheoah Dam where the dam scenes takes place and west of Asheville is Cowee Tunnel where Kimble walks on the railway tracks.

[@-R.Gray-]

I loved David Janssen as Kimball in the 1963-67 TV series. Every week he would almost get caught as he saved someone's life.
