Tommy Lee Jones pursues Benicio Del Toro in The Hunted 2003. It's got some amazing knife fights. Not to be confused with The Hunted 1995, which is Christopher Lambert being pursued by ninjas 😉

[@MrMice...]

Some of my fav pursuit/chase movies: True Romance, Catch me if you can, Thelma and Louise, Terminator, Kill Bill, Minority Report, Perfect World, and Breakdown. Also oldies like Butch and Sundance and Smokey and the bandit.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

There's the sequel "U.S. Marshalls" with Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes. Definitely worth watching: "No Country for Old Men" (if you haven't already).

[@WastedPo]

Might I suggest "Minority Report" (2002): Spielberg directing in a *very* unique style (showing that he can pretty much do anything), starring Tom Cruise. Some bits don't quite work. But shockingly, the scenes that were great in 2002 are still great. It's aged very well.

No Way Out. Kevin Costner.

[@ericwalker8636]

On the night of the TV finale, my mom sliced her finger open when the glass that she was washing broke. She said it probably needed stitches but she and my dad didn't want to miss the finale so she wrapped it tightly in a towel until the show was over. Afterward, the cut seemed to have closed so she just put a large bandage on it. It left a noticeable scar and for the rest of her life she referred to it as her Fugitive finger.

[@alandavis8051]

That train wreck was done with only the special effects of the day and was fantastic to watch. Even the aftermath in the daylight was awesome

[@andrewneese6484]

One thing I can tell you Verowak, I grew up in Chicago and the reporters and media people in this movie are not actors but actual local Chicago reporters.

[@VerowakReacts]

Oh that's so neat, thanks for the tidbit!!

I've seen this movie so many times and never get sick of it.

"Sam, when I die, I wanna come back just like you.” “Oh, you mean happy and handsome!?” underrated exchange.

[@VerowakReacts]

I love his delivery for this!!!

[@jokerz7936]

The most amazing thing about this film is they were rewriting the script as they were filming. Most days they didn't have the final script until the morning of shooting.

[@VerowakReacts]

It makes sense why they did a lot of ad libbing!! Lol

[@simianinc]

Like Mission Impossible, The Fugitive began life as a 60s TV show. The ending - spread over two episodes - was the first case of a big series finale on TV

[@jonathanross149]

The Fugitive inspired some unconventional TV copycats, Kung-Fu and The Hulk. Drifters doing good and then moving on.

[@jlb6]

Was going to say the same about the Untouchables

[@willcool713]

Yep, movies as TV show reboots definitely come around. Maverick, The Untouchables, The Equalizer, The Wild Wild West, so, so many when you stop to think, even if you don't count franchises like Star Trek that aren't reboots. Hollywood has been recycling ideas from the very beginning.

[@wham-shirt-trimmer]

The Fugitive tv show is loosely based on a real life case.

[@jimhowe2624]

Love it! I definitely still don't stick up my hands a say "I don't care!" whenever someone tries to correct me for whatever reason.

[@VerowakReacts]

🤣It's a great way to get your point across though! lol

[@zbennalley]

My favorite line delivery from Tommy Lee Jones is "The guy did a Peter Pan, right off this dam."

[@jkhoover]

It took me almost 30 years to figure out what he said. For some reason, I never understood it, but I finally learned while watching the movie with subtitles.

[@zbennalley]

@jkhoover I just love the brief smile like it impressed him that he actually did it.

[@jamiemiller6156]

I don't know, the line about why don't you think me up one of those doughnuts with sprinkles on them just summed up Deputy Girard's character the best and is the one that was most memorable to me.

[@zatornagirroc7175]

One of the great things about this movie is that it is based on an old 60s TV show called The Fugitive. Each week had our hero trying to find out who killed his wife, and just narrowly escaping the pursuers - this movie could have been made up of several of those episodes. It really gave you that same feeling. Nicely done.

[@chicagojon1972]

As a Chicagoan, how could I not love this movie. That said, it is a fantastic film.

Another film adaptation of an old TV show that came out in the 90s was The Saint with Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue. Well worth a watch, if you have not seen it.

[@VerowakReacts]

This is the first I hear of it, thanks for the rec! 90s movies tend to be great :D

[@stackels97]

Second that. It is one of the many underappreciated movies of that era.

[@stevenalexander6713]

One of the best movies of the 90's and one of the best Harrison Ford movies outside of his franchises (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.). Tommy Lee Jones is also amazing.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

The final episode of the tv series was the most watched episode of any tv show for about 15 years. I think it’s still in the top ten over 50 years later. David Jansen was great as Dr. Kimball

[@ChrisReise]

41:10 Tommy Lee has a spin-off movie to this one called "U.S. Marshals." His whole team reprise their roles.

[@danielkillian1222]

It's not Richard is trying to kill me, it's Richard, he's trying to kill me. Referencing the one armed man. But, easy for a jury to misunderstand.

[@TheFacrecords]

Hey, state prosecution never makes mistakes, Richard Kimble must definitely be guilty!

[@MarcoMM1]

Another interesting fact that many people may not notice throughout the movie is that the timeline in the movie is not happening within a week or 2. It's actually been a few months or maybe even up to a year to hunt Kimball. In the original 60s tv series, Kimball was on the run for 4 years. So they actually took the time to hunt him. But because it's a movie, so they had to compress it. Keep up the good work.

[@RobertDufour-u3b]

Given that the original train crash occurs in the fall combined with the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in March the chronological time of the entire film is about six months.

[@beanheaddd3764]

There's a scene with several TV screens showing a news report where it states he escaped over a year ago. The 1960s show is my all time favourite show 👌👌👌

[@VerowakReacts]

That makes sense, I definitely felt like a decent amount of time had passed from start to finish, but no idea how long exactly. And it's a good thing they compressed it compared to the TV series, I don't think the 4 years would have came across very well in the movie lol

[@jonathanross149]

Tommy Lee Jones is very good in Coal Miner's Daughter. A Bio-Pic about Lorretta Lynn staring Sissy Spacek, and was one of my mom's favorite films.

[@Col_Fragg]

It's funny that Verowak uses the expression "Wrongfully Accused." That is also the name of "The Fugitive" parody film starring Leslie Nielsen, the star of "Airplane" and the "Police Squad!" movies.

[@VerowakReacts]

Oh hahaha nice! I'll need to check it out 🤣

[@oldford71]

U.S. Marshals is the Sequel.. You'll love it..

[@MrSilentBill]

If you want to make a note for the future here or your own time, the actor Andreas Katsulas had an incredible performance in Babylon 5 along many other great actors.

[@ronfehr7899]

In the scene where you thought they caught the wrong guy, that guy was actually the one who helped Richard out of his cuffs. We are meant to think that Gerard and his crew were about to arrest Richard, when in fact it was the inmates who helped Richard escape.

[@VerowakReacts]

Yup, I got that 😁

[@JohnnyUtah15]

Tommy Lee Jones in No Country For Old Men is great and one of my favorites of his, and Men in Black is another favorite.

Now you need to see the U.S. Marshals staring Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.

[@stephenweaver7631]

Train wreck and dam scenes were filmed in North Carolina. Fontana Dam and the Great Smokey Mountain RR. Some of the wrecked train cars were left as a tourist attraction.

[@bmw128racer]

Ford's running from that train gave me a flashback from Raiders when he was running from that giant ball. 🤭

[@campagnollo]

Not Fontana Dam. It’s Cheoah Dam which is downstream from Fontana. Fontana has no spillway on its face.

[@1MahaDas]

What IMBD didn't say was that both the 'Fugitive' TV series as well as the film were all based on the real-life case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who was convicted of murdering his wife.

[@kenyattaclay7666]

They didn’t say it because it’s not really based off of that case. The only aspect of the movie (I’m not sure about the TV show because I’ve never seen it) that they took from the real case is the bushy haired description he gave. However other than that there’s nothing in the movie that even comes close to correlating to the real life case.

[@3DJapan]

Fun fact: Richard jumping away from the train was not green screen (or blue), it was a movie screen with the train footage projected behind him. So the whole effect was done in camera, no CG.

[@Waterford1992]

3:52 I would imagine the housekeepers prints were found in the house because the job of the housekeeper is to clean the house every day.

Growing up in the 1970s, I used to watch the reruns of the original tv series from the 1960s. It was an awesome show and I was so excited when they announced this movie. It's definitely one of my favorites.

[@darkjedi447]

My late father told me that when he was young, the TV show called THE FUGITIVE, was one of his absolute favorite shows to watch. Of course the movie is based on the TV show, and they did a fine job paying homage to the TV show, while still making a new, interesting story for the cinema. I always have fond memories of my dad and I watching this movie and him telling me about his love of the TV show. Thanks for the fun reaction. Keep smiling 👍🙂🇨🇦

[@shanewilliams9122]

[@VerowakReacts]

The whole pursuit is amazing, edge of your seat the whole time!!

[@mikealvarez2322]

I was in highschool when "The Fugitive" TV program was on. It was a favorite among my generation. It also parallels the real life case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, who was convicted of murdering his wife in 1954. Sheppard was sentenced to life in prison as his attorney filed appeal after appeal. Dr. Sheppard's attorney died in 1960 and the soon to be very famous attorney F. Lee Bailey got the case. Bailey was a fantastic attorney before he ever became famous and took the case to the Supreme Court where he managed to get a new trial by the mid 60s. The Supreme Court cited several irregularities in Sheppard's first trial the worst being a biased judge that did not sequester the jury when there was an obvious "circus like atmosphere" regarding the whole case in 1954. The trial should have been moved to a different venue and the judge should have recused himself due to conflicts of interest......Hmmm that sounds awfully familiar. Dr. Sheppard gets a new trial and F. Lee Bailey rips the prosecution's case to shreds. Dr. Sheppard is finally a free man but his nightmare wasn't over. He had lost his surgery skills and gave up medicine. He was denied claims that his rights had been violated by the State of Ohio so could not claim damages. He started drinking heavily and died at the age of 48. Both of his parents committed suicide after the first trial as did one or 2 others that were closely tied to Dr. Sheppard and his wife. In the 1980s another man was convicted of robbery and murder involving other cases. Richard Eberling had done some work for Ethel Durkin prior to her murder and robbery. As it turned out Richard Eberling had also done some odd jobs for the Sheppards. His blood was found at the home but he explained it as being from a cut while washing windows. Eberling was dismissed as a suspect as the police and the prosecution all focused on Dr. Sheppard. One of Marilyn's rings was found among Eberling's possessions. The Fugitive TV series all took place during Dr. Sheppard's second trial and the movie version came out when all the evidence pointed to Richard Eberling as the killer was exposed. Eberling died in prison in 1998 and may have confessed to Marilyn Sheppard's murder to a nurse. The creators of The Fugitive TV series and the movie THE FUGITIVE all deny that the Dr. Sam Sheppard case had anything to do with either one. What do you think? 🤔 The final episode of the TV series was the most watched program in history up until that time. Everyone was glued to their TVs.😮😊

This is such a great movie! Tommy Lee Jones plays the authoritative, capable, chief-type really well, and they wrote him as a great antagonist -not a bad guy, just someone who gets in the hero's way. Great to see the two really intelligent characters try to outsmart each other and get ahead! For a really different type of character for Tommy, you can check out Hope Springs, it's a quirky comedy from 2012. Tommy Lee plays opposite Meryl Streep, they are an older couple whose kids have grown up and left the house, that's all I'll say here. Lot's of heart and some solid awkwardness, but the two fantastic lead actors make the characters feel really real. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion, though probably wouldn't get a ton of views on KZbin. Thanks Verowak!

I both love you're giving LOST references quite often in your reviews and kinda disappointed because it means we won't be able to have your 1st time LOST reactions ever. I would definitely watch your LOST reactions if you haven't seen it and some day decided to react to it. I hope those references mean you love the show. If that's the case my only hope; maybe one day you can partner up with a friend for LOST reactions who you know to be screen-smart like you and would be really invested in the show. You could join and guide that friend in the crazy LOST journey, of course without spoiling anything. Most good LOST reactions on KZbin had one person who've already loves the show and seen it multiple times as chaperones, because without them the blind reactors occasionally or maybe even frequently miss many good details or fail to make required plot connections which kinda takes away the reaction pleasure. I believe you'd be a good LOST chaperone. Please take this into consideration :)

Classic example of why reboots don't inherently suck. Good movies are good movies. Doesn't matter if it's a reboot or remake! And a reboot isn't an excuse to make bad movies. And goddamn I miss adult action movies! Early 2000s still had some good ones, but they've sure vanished since the MCU took off. Sure the leap was a gamble, but he's gonna get killed if they take him back into custody anyway. "Doesn't seem like a convicted felon, huh?" Gotta disagree here. I've made friends with ex-cons and they've always been wonderful humans. Doesn't seem like a man who wantonly, cruelly, violently murdered his wife? No. XD But even then, sometimes monsters can be kind, compassionate, and warm too. Basically it's best to not assume. Which is what a good investigator needs to do anyway. We lost Andreas Katsulas too young. Most people remember him as the one-armed man, but to the rest of us he's beloved sci-fi actor for Babylon 5 and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Glad you enjoyed all the suspense! One of my favorite movies. ♥

😎👍 A little more trivia: Obviously what you see going over the falls at 13:53 isn't Harrison Ford, but a dummy. The brass at Warner Brothers gave the crew instructions to retrieve the dummy afterwords, thinking it would probably be worth something at auction. Well, that didn't happen. The thing was completely destroyed. 😄 All they were able to find was the head and one of the legs. The rest of it is probably still at the bottom of that river. 🤪 A really good but largely forgotten Tommy Lee Jones movie is "Black Moon Rising" (1986). He basically plays himself, wisecracking his way through a bunch of action sequences in his usual sardonic manner. 😉👍

Great Reaction....... This movie is a remake of a tv show in the 1960s. Also, in the 1990s after the movie they decided to reboot again with another tv series version completely unrelated You should check out the TV show, it's in black and white because it was from the late '50s or early '60s, but it was exceptional. I actually re-watched it shortly before the film came out... The actor who plays Marshall Newman was in "Under Seige" with Tommy Lee the year before.... Harrison's Limp was real..... He injured himself during Filming and refused to get it treated till after the movie wrapped.... The Train Wreck was created running a real Locomotive into a bus..... (Staged Wreck).....

Hello Miss Verowak!😊 So, there was a TV series years ago that inspired this film. Then, this film inspired a new TV series and a spinoff film with Tommy Lee Jones called "U.S. Marshalls" (1998) where Jones would reprise this character again. I always thought the motive for Kimball in this film was ridiculous. He was a well paid doctor that didn't need insurance money.😉 You mentioned that too, right after I typed it.👍🏻 To be fair it is not the U.S. Marshalls job to solve crimes. They deal with the Witness Protection Program, Prisoner Transport, and of course Fugitive Retrieval. Yeah, the original plan was to kill Richard to get him out of the way. His wife would be considered collateral damage. Great reactions to this action thriller, Miss Vero!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻You just mentioned U.S. Marshalls.😊 Probably when I think of TLJ, I think of "Men in Black" (1997).😉

Another Harrison Ford movie I like that is a crime/thriller/drama is Frantic (1988) which takes place in Paris.

Now you should watch Wrongully Accused. A parody of this movie starring Leslie Neilsen.

You managed to cut out almost all of the iconic lines. "Well shit, sheriff. I guess I'll take over your investigation." "Listen up! Wyatt Earp is here." "Why don't you think me up one of those donuts with sprinkles on it. As long as you're thinking." "We've got a gopher." "He done did a Peter Pan right here off of this dam." "Every farmhouse, henhouse, doghouse and outhouse." "Big dog is always right." "That's hinky." "Because I don't wanna get shot."

These 2 needed to do more together

I completely agree!

This is such a fun movie... False accusations/wrongful charges are a real problem though... And even though it's a movie based on a 60s TV show it's also based on a real case from the 50s. ...Just wild stuff.

Tommy Lee Jones is also good in the sequel US Marshalls and in No Country for Old Men.
