- When it comes to adapting a classic TV show to the big screen, it doesn’t get much better than Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive. Indeed, the third highest-grossing film of 1993 proved to be a monumental critical and commercial hit that earned more than $370 million globally and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. In addition to Tommy Lee Jones winning an Oscar for his indelible supporting turn as U.S. Marshall Sam Gerard, thirty years later the film still boasts some of the most impressive action set pieces and stunning practical FX on record. The movie succeeds on multiple levels as a riveting manhunt thriller, an engrossing murder mystery, a compelling redemption story, an FX-driven action-adventure, and of course, a faithful TV adaptation that both honors the spirit of the original and also pushes the narrative forward into daring, unpredictable territory. Yet, for as nearly perfect a film as The Fugitive remains to this day, you would never guess that the production actually had a slew of hurdles, injuries, cast and crew replacements, and other major mishaps to overcome.
For instance, did you know that the original cinematographer was fired one week into the production? Or the fact that the movie’s villain, Dr. Charles Nichols, was actually played by a different actor before being replaced after falling ill due to a brain tumor? Or how about the on-set injuries Harrison Ford suffered while making the film on location in Chicago and North Carolina? Well, as the landmark action-packed crime drama celebrates its 30th anniversary this August, we’re about to dive into all of the little-known facts about the production and figure out just WTF Happened to The Fugitive!

"I didn't kill my wife!" "I don't care!" The best lines, in my opinion, and one of Harrison Ford's best performances, in my opinion.
This movie rocks and still holds up really well
Shame he wasn't nominated but VERY competitive year, 1993
I love how cynical Sam Gerrard is. He's just there to do a job.
i was just going to say that too
@@davidjames579 I love Tommy Lee’s cold hearted comment “I don’t care…”
This film was fantastic. The train wreck is still a very popular film location to visit because the train was wrecked for real and IT IS STILL THERE!! CRAZY!!
Oh damn I gotta put that in my bucket list.
Isn’t it in like NC somewhere or in that area? I remember seeing pics of it like 20 some years later
@@JohnnyNiteTrainIt’s located on the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad in North Carolina near the Bryson City Station
I was obsessed with this movie in 1993...And now 30 years later it remains a masterpiece.
this movie shows you that a good story is what people want to watch.
What?!?!?! I need muh representation, story be damned.
@@michaelreich4827 you're probably a fan of Yul Brynner playing a Pharaoh
@@mg19cal I remember my grandma telling me, "I don't care what they tell you in school, King Tut was funky.".

This is a stone cold classic, 5 out of 5.
Everyone should watch this.
One of the best action thrillers of the 90's great performances by both Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones well deserved Oscar for Jones
Tommy lee Jones was on fire in the 90s: The Fugitive, Under Siege, Men in Black, The Client, JFK, Natural Born Killers.
And batman forever…..kidding
One of the best movies of the 90s! Still a great movie you can sit down and watch with your family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For sure top 5
The respect that Kimble and Gerard have towards each other is one of the best aspects of this movie.
I thought it was a great movie before I even knew about the background and effort that went into producing it. Simply amazing!
YES!!
One of my favorite Harrison Ford action movies I've seen in my entire life! Saw this on VHS when i was 5 years old and it's been my favorite movie!
I remember the parody with Leslie Nielsen
One of my absolute favorites. Harrison and Tommy Lee were awesome. Love the part where they're at the train wreck site, questioning the guard. "Care to revise your statement, sir?" "What?" "Do you want to change your bullshit story, sir?"
One of the best 1st acts I've ever scene. Sets up all the characters so well plus the action. Tommy Lee's introduction was perfectly written and performed
Regarding the train crash scene, Harrison Ford wasn't there when the crash was shot. He did the jump in front of a green screen or projection of the crash.
I love this movie. NOT only because it is good, TLJ is funny as hell in it, but because my local electronic store had the train scene playing in the little glass room all the time demonstrating surround sound. God i love the 90's!!!!!
It was the first movie I noticed having Surround Sound. Totally freaked me out in the Theater! 😄
Took me years as a teenager to put together that US Marshalls was the sequel. Just thought they were a couple cool Tommy Lee Jones movies.
I watched this movie for the first time this year on AMC. I loved it. I own it on Blu-ray now. And I was just thinking about it today, so this upload is literally right on time.
This movie made me think how GREAT Tommy Lee Jones would’ve been as General Ross in a Hulk movie
This,Patriot Games, Clear and Present and Air Force One....Ford had an amazing 90's...And so do we.
He was the guy you could always rely on.
This is the only movie I’ve seen in theaters to receive a standing ovation from attendees at the end.
The Fugitive is still in my personal top 10 favorite movies ever.
US Marshalls, the sequel movie was great too, instead of continuing with Kimble, who's story was complete, they followed with Tommy Lee Jones character and his Marshall team for the sequel. A briliant move methinks
Another reason why Ford had grown a beard was because he had just filmed his cameo scenes for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series. He appeared in a two-part episode; with both parts aired back to back on ABC when The Fugitive started its production, called “Mystery of The Blues”. Ironically, that story is also set in Chicago as well. It had Young Indy making his way to 1920’s Chicago; meeting figures like Sidney Bichet and Al Capone.
As. 12 year old this was one of my favorite movies. I'll still stop and watch it if i come across it channel surfing. "I don't care." Is definitely my favorite line.
One of the best Gems of the early 90s!
Absolutely brilliant. I rewatched this movie only last month and it is STILL one of my all time favourite movies! 😊
Arguably the dam scene is the most iconic scene from this movie.
One of the best action-mystery-thriller.. still engaging to this day.. they don't make movies like these anymore..
The Fugitive is the BEST Harrison Ford movie that doesn't end in Wars or Jones. I've loved it since I was a teenager and saw it in the theaters.
And It single handedly made me a fan of Tommy Lee Jones (except for his Two Face, yikes!!!).
One of Dr. Jan Itor's finest roles.
Even as a kid of 6, I wondered how the Marshall effortlessly rattled out the famous ‘Every doghouse etc’ search directive
One of the movies I remember my parents watching all the time on tv when It was playing.
So awesome. First, the TV series was my mother's favorite show. And second, the director (from my home state) was not only honored at our hometown film festival Ebertfest, but he is also the director of my film school's only horror screenwriting contest winner... a little film called "The Final Terror" that didn't do as well as it could have because of its lack of "victims". But I digress. "The Fugitive", like "Mission: Impossible" and "The Untouchables", is a brilliant cinema adaptation that transcends it's source material. Sadly, Richard Jordan was teaching an acting workshop in a loft above my old post-production facility in West Hollywood before he passed. I did not know about his participation in this future classic.
I hated the 1st screen adapt of MI. I loved the tv show and hated TC for hijacking it. I didn't like MI:2 either but 3 and following were really good. Can't wait for the next two.
First of all: FANTASTIC FILM…
I always loved though how the credits lasted a full FIFTEEN MINUTES into the film…lol
You realize all the work that went into this movie makes even better to enjoy and watch.
This movie, along with Mission Impossible, is the gold standard of movies based on TV shows.
One of the best big screen “remakes” of a TV series, and one of my all time favorite movies!
I consistently watch, rewatch this movie.
I know somebody's already comment on it but on a scale of 1 to 10 that Trainwreck was most definitely a 25.
god finally someone is covering this classic and of all channels it’s one of my favorites to do it
Great series of the 60s. I rode with a friend from Ohio to Fl. where he went to college. We got a hotel room so we could see the final episode.
One of the great action adventure films. I'd put it alongside Terminator 2, True Lies, Die Hard 3, The Rock and Independence Day for those great 1990s action films. Ford and Lee-Jones have great chemistry in this film. Good direction from Andrew Davies. One of the rare instances of a remake of sorts(with it being based on a TV series). Great action sequences - with the waterfall jump being the highlight.
Had to watch it again after so long after watching this, and man, what a good flick....
I rewatched this movie last year for the first time in probably 20 years. It's still so good!
WHAT AN AMAZING PRODUCTION! can't believe it!
I remember how big of a deal that train crash scene was. So many behind the scenes specials and interviews.
The image of Ford jumping off just before impact was played and replayed on shows like Entertainment Tonight, you are right.
I was 6 when this came out and I remember absolutely loving it. I'd randomly jump on the coffee table and tell my family I didn't kill my wife before jumping off and running out the room lol
This fantastic film still holds up 30th years later and the very first movie I watched at the Warner Bros Village Cinema in London in December 1993. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are excellent as both Fugitive Dr Richard Kimble and US Marshall Sam Gerard. So hugely successful and well made faithful adaptation of the original 1960's TV series, it spawned a Sequel US Marshals, 2 TV spin offs 2000 The Fugitive with Tim Daly and Myketi Williamson in the Ford and Jones roles. More recently another TV remake in 2020 with Kiefer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook but alas they all failed to capture the magic of this 1993 Blockbuster which remains one of the very best action TV remakes ever made, which definitely captured lightening in a bottle at the right despite all odds.
It had it's UK Premiere at that Cinema as it was Warner's most prodigious in the UK. It was also the first film screened there after a re-build and refit. Harrison Ford opened it.
What an amazing treat of nostalgia! It is so awesome of the creativity of the actors and director as this is great example of how to augment and enhance TV show to movie adaptation.
The movie is awesome so is the sequel. I think they should make another US Marshals movie. It was great, it just got buried by Titanic like every other movie that came out that year.
2:06 Nick Nolte "I'm too old for that shit" 😂😂😂
This movie, US Marshalls and Double Jeopardy are classics.
One of my favorite movies of all time!
It was a good movie. I saw it in the theaters and I don’t think I’ve seen it in 30 years. It’s really not featured in too many streaming services. This movie really got Tommy Lee Jones a lot of attention and roles.
I didn't know it was based on a tv show until long after I watched it, great classic movie.
I love The Fugitive. Harrison Ford should have been nominated. His interrogation scene at the start is really powerful.
Tommy Lee Jones was the best part for me. Excellent performance.
Thanks for this short video on one of my best movies!
It's a marvelous movie and i love Harrison Ford as an actor!
Damn. One of your best. Well done.
I love the part when Tommy Lee Jones tell Harrison Ford,I don't care. Then of course Harrison Ford Peter Pan's off the dam.
This film is so classic. Saw it on vhs years ago. Back when you could trust a movie if you didn't know about it. The tv show that was In Black and white is also very decent
One of the best movies I have ever seen. An eternal classic.
The Fugitive will always be one of my favorite movies ...this movie and catch-me-if-you-can with Tom Hanks and Leo are my two faves I can always watch
TLJ's speach at the train crash site was also slightly impovised. The lines were written, but they originally had him talking directly to his fellow marshals. But after they did a take, it was suggested he turn it into a pep talk for everyone and that's what ended up in the film.
This film is a great example of how you can have an antagonist who is not a villain. Girard was simply doing his job, even if it hindered Kimble's objective.
Absolutely love this movie! Pretty sure I've seen it no less than 10 times. I was surprised to hear the trouble surrounding the score as it's easily one of my favorites along with Traffic and Haywire.
Nice! One of my favorite movies. I saw it in the theater when it first came out.
You and millions of other people bro.
One of my favourite films I absolutely love Harrison Ford ❤️
IMO this was a classic and I miss blockbusters like this (now 30 years old).
A friend and I saw this in the theaters not long after it came out. Totally riveted the whole time (granted, she was especially riveted to Handsome Harrison Ford's face). That train scene STILL is one of the most tense things I've seen on the big screen. So cool to learn it was done in a single take.
One of the greatest action blockbusters ever.
It's interesting that Nick Nolte thought he was too old, considering he's only a year older than Harrison Ford, according to the internet.
Damn you! Now I have to but yet another movie that you so excellently covered
About the train crash, there actually was a miniature of the train that was created And it was used particularly for the rear projection footage for the shots of Harrison Ford running away from the train. As part of the contract all the publicity for the movie at the time was not allowed to mention the VFX work that was put into the scene, a practice that continues to this day when studios talk about how there's "no CGI" in a movie nowadays.
For clarification, the actual train crash that you see is 100% real, they did actually crash a train and that genuinely happened. The footage you see where the train is chasing Harrison Ford is footage of a miniature rear projected onto footage of Ford running away from it.
It just occurred to me, I never even questioned how they did that train crash. I need to watch that again.
Could've mentioned Andreas Katsulas playing the onearmed man. Best quote: "I have a prosthetic arm I must've killed her!"
Yeah Katsulas being overlooked in the video would be my only complaint, Katsulas was extremely memorable everytime he shows up on the film.
When Jeroen Krabbe literally clotheslines Joe Pantoliano in the jawbone with an I-beam, I felt that. And still do.
good stuff, Jake and Matt!
I was truly greatful to be able to enjoy this movie several times with my grandpa before he Passed in 2022
The tv show was great, the movie was great, and this retrospective is great!
Anybody remember this era where Tommy Lee Jones was in everything?
A top movie of its time that still stands the test of time
a cerebral action classic, period!
great film! really holds up well.
Fun fact: This would've been my second movie character with the last name Kimble 😅
Classic! 🙌🏼🎬
Imagine if Christopher Reeves played Kimble and Gene Hackman played Gerard
I gotta revisit this movie❤
Now we need a video for US Marshals
Before reading the title and only seeing the thumbnail...thought that was jeff bridges in Arlington road
Great movie with great acting.
One of the best TV to film adaptations. Its casting is pitch perfect, the action is loads of fun & the story is classic with some great quips; particularly TLJ’s dry wit and being a total dick to Joe Pantiliano. Plus the use of Chicago is one of our many movie badges we like to wear; along with Nolan’s first 2 Batman movies and the Matt Reeves recent Batman & of course those who are John Hughes fans
I saw this in grade 9 I loved it
TOO BAD,
AMAZON, LOTR 📺 🎭 📽️
DIDN'T GET
THE MEMO.
31 MAY 2023 WED 🖖🐈💦⚖️🗿
THIS COMMENTARY WAS PERFECT 👌😁
If I'm in a St Patrick parade in the early 1990s, and Han Solo / Indiana Jones just casually joins in and starts walking beside me, I doubt I'll just keep on walking.
All together now: "Every Out-House, Hen-House and Doggggg House"
I'd like to see them do "Father Knows Best" and have it turn out this well. (grin)
One of my favourite movies ever why harrison ford was never nominated for a Oscar for best actor I do not know but Tommy lee jones stole the show and derserved his Oscar
