Tommy Lee Jones I think made the actors get to know each other and used to each other's company, but also, and I emphasize this, to work on their lines and improvise them, so it really feels like a team of people who know each other well, trying to solve a case. The scene with can you get me some coffee with some cream is entirely improv'd
One of my very favorite scenes from a great movie. In less than two minutes, we realize just how formidable Deputy US Marshal Sam Gerard really is. He has nearly unshakeable faith in his instincts. He has a rock solid team that he actually /listens/ to, even though he sometimes seems cocky. He's observant and smart. And he is absolutely never going to stop. I would not want this man hunting me.
@@fmradio42 Nonsense. Any one of the recent thrillers starring Liam Neeson fits the bill more than adequately for this kind of film (e.g., "The Commuter," "Honest Thief").
@@carlhorowitz5916 Sorry, I hate the story and seeing the trailer, It looks like hyperreal, ultra smooth motion/digital quality? big fan of Liam on and off screen though.
The girl typing on the computer in the background at 28 seconds is a friend of mine. She said she spent 4 or 5 days typing on a computer that wasn't turned on or plugged in.
Part of the reason I love this movie is because it has a subtle Chicago spirit in it, and honestly for a big city you don't get many films with Chicago as a setting or it's character showcased.
Like The Blues Brothers and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, this movie is another love letter to Chicago! Every opportunity the producers had to capture the amazing skyscrapers, they did beautifully. The end credits finish with fireworks together with the Chicago Loop in the background.
Elevated trains sound different. Chicago's transit rolling stock has a hollower sound to begin with. When it is on metal elevated structure, you hear the bridge itself moving.
One of my all time favorite movies!!! The reason why The Fugitive was so well written was because of the original 1963 to 1967 TV series it was based on. I have also discovered one of Harrison Ford's was in 1969, a guest starring role on another QM TV classic, The F.B.I.
I don't know about the screenwriters, but neither the director nor Ford were fans of the TV show going into the production and wanted to treat the film as its own thing.
The entire point of this extremely well-produced movie was Richard Kimball's innocence. Lost amid all the cop talk and displays of authority was that simple fact. Segue to real life: how often do innocents get mangled in this corrupt system? Why is this tolerated?
Also it was recorded on a Telephone mic a (Payphone telephone mic at that)... Not the highest quality recording instrument. Onto a one track tape machine. Sounds recorded onto one track cannot be "isolated" you can bump frequencies by EQ'ing the track a certain way to try to bring something out (or louder than it was.) But on a one track recording what you do to one sound you do to all sounds. (Even in the digital world this holds true). And its doubtful the Tech would have been able to make it as clear as we hear it in the movie. They could have gotten about maybe 65% to 70% auditability of the voice in the background at best, then extrapolated, based on instinct, and local knowledge of what the announcer was most likely saying. Yes I'm a nerd
I know it’s just a movie, but people really believe that you can have no less then 10 officers working on one case, with apparently an unlimited budget to chase someone. People then apply this movie to the real world. Boy are they disappointed when county offices are being closed for lack of funding or over budget.
True, and they're always fully staffed. At my work we haven't been fully staffed for over 10 years and we're a big company. But everday we have to struggle with a handful of people taking care of hundreds of customers. But you never see that in movies.
This movie is a well written thriller, see death. BUT, I saluté you, & a salute😮is. • " you need a bottle when you come to someone's house", because a salute is asking a bottle in your hand , putting it to your list and topping it, a salute -❤❤❤❤
Question. Why was Richard found guilty? He lent out his car to his friend therefore his friend would have his house keys. Sounds like reasonable doubt to me. Why did his lawyer not pursue this?
Earlier in the movie, Deputy Gerard says they want wire taps for Richard Kimball's friends and associates...especially his lawyer. So the marshals were recording the phone call.
LOL I was scared me mistakenly remembering Milwaukee had an elevated train from the time I was a kid was en example of the Mandela Effect and then watching this I realized I must of have heard it in the Fugitive and I took it as truth as a kid. I guess either in the universe in which the Fugitive takes place Milwaukee really does have an elevated train or Cosmo was just mistaken and nobody bothered to correct him before they got distracted by the discovery.
TLJ has a weird aging thing going on. He doesn't look like he ages a day for a decade then next film, bam! He looks a bit older! All 70s, same look. Little older in '81-82 All 80s, same Little older again in '89-90 All 90s and over half of 00s aged maybe 3 years then 2010, looks older.
I think the movie tried to make Gerard too likable of a character. He's supposed to be the danger, the grim pursuer for Kimble, and trying to throw in lighthearted moments detracts from that. The TV show portrayed Gerard better than the movie did. But despite this flaw it is my favorite movie.
This film does a great job of character exposition and development. Both Kimble and Gerard are good people. Therefore the tension is not so much between good and evil as it is between who is the most good of the both of them. Gerard is a servant of the law but this does not mean he loves the law. On the other hand, Kimble is prepared to do anything not to clear his name, but to bring his wife's killer to justice. Kimble is not a detective, but he'd make a very good one.
You're supposed to like both Kimble and Gerard, not everything has to be black and white in terms of good vs evil. Both guys are good people trying to do what they feel is right, they just happen to be positioned against each other
This movie is one of the most well-written thrillers I've ever seen
It and us marshals seems like is them same producers because is the same characters
@@jay-sean424 yep , it's almost considered a sequel to the fugitive
Andrew Davis also great underrated director. Under siege & this movie are awesome
Well its based on a popular TV series from 60s so the movie can't get full credit.
@@develynseether4426 exactly correct. David Jansen and Barry Morse way better then those two liberal fools
I always loved the banter among Sam Gerard's team.
It probably makes Quentin Tarantino super jealous 🤣🤣🤣
They also layer it super well, talking over each other realistically
They were absolute professionals who allowed just enough room for humanity and error.
Tommy Lee Jones I think made the actors get to know each other and used to each other's company, but also, and I emphasize this, to work on their lines and improvise them, so it really feels like a team of people who know each other well, trying to solve a case.

Andrew Davis put Jones with a team unlike Philip Girard who acted alone. He wanted to convey that Jones had authority with people working under him.

I would not want this man hunting me.
He don't bargin lol
I. Don’t. Bargain. He’s truly one of my favorite actors. Tommy and Harrison work great together, so does Tommy and Will Smith
He's the predator they are his prey.
@@thehitpack766 And he will never stop hunting them.
He’s like the Terminator, he’s not gonna stop
This is one of those movies that will never get old.
Ever.
Play that back. I want to hear the sound of a elevated train. 😆 😆
Love the delivery of that line so much
The Fugitive is a masterpiece! I never get sick of it.
*weekends on AMC have entered the chat
“I knew that was an elevated train.” 🤣❤️
Love this film because it is the perfect balance between action, suspense, and drama.
Some light comedy moments in there too!
Hollywood isn't making movies like fugitive anymore. Sadly.
And I.S Marshals is the sequel kinda
Here were waiting for Wonder Woman '84.
Just CGI garbage

That’s badass
That was an Oscar worthy performance. I almost cried. So powerful..m
A scene sure takes a long time to come together
Haha nice.
The actors in this scene really pull-off working like a team. Although Gerard is the leader, all the team members contribute.
Excellent Movie. Harrison Ford vs Tommy Lee Jones. Great casting of the two main protagonists. The Supporting Cast was fantastic as well
"Oh you mean happy and handsome?" 😁

@@IronMan-tk8uc blues brothers is a classic too!!
it seems like every movie is either in LA or New York... that's one of the reasons I love this one.
That’s why I found it strange that under siege wasn’t filmed in Chicago, as Andrew davis usually films his movies there
Untouchables and Running Scared are great examples of chicago flicks (Candyman, technically counts)
I’ll notify the press!
“NO PRESS!”
Right no press!
Lee kills it in this one. His best performance.
Ya. This is a movie that you can watch over and over again! ❤
My grandfather was a Deputy US Marshal, he had a lot of crazy stories.

'No, you mean happy and handsome!'
Great movie.

You must have ears like an eagle! Thanks for explaining the differences, they never did during this scene.
@@2010thekingofkings There's also a reverb between the tracks and the ground that you don't get if the tracks are on the ground.
1:43. I can’t count the number of times I’ve used the phrase “Happy And Handsome” on my job. Great ice breaker when things were stressful on the job.

The movie was actually rewritten throughout the production
I don't know about the screenwriters, but neither the director nor Ford were fans of the TV show going into the production and wanted to treat the film as its own thing.
I'm amazed that some scenes of this movie was shot in my neighborhood South Chicago
"I'll alert the press." Girard: "NO PRESS!"
Hollywood movies from the 90s are the best.
"I'll notify the press."
"NO PRESS!!!"
"Right, no press."
“Every hen house, house of pancakes, house of the rising sun, your moms house where I just came from. TLJ is my spirit animal.
"I. DON'T. BARGAIN. "
That's some great acting right there
And that scene demonstrated how well written that film is!
I like how the DVD cover is just Harison Ford on it. But the whole movie has a whole cast.
'I want to hear the sound of an elevated train!' :)
Cool earrings on the female marshal. It's details like this that show up in repeat viewings.
Joes wig
It's "El" as in elevated train.
wonderfull scene
Tommy Lee Jones was perfect for this role as the US Marshall
I wish more movies could have been made about Sam Gerard and his U.S. Marshall's team.
Han Solo vs Agent K is so awesome
Great Movie!
Andiamo, bambini!
I've lived in Milwaukee over 3 years now there's definitely no L train here lol
I laughed at that part
But you do have plenty of blacks from Chicago. Congrats!
Best movie ever
Biggs: “St. Louis doesn’t have an Elevated Train.”
Me: “Not yet.”
Great film 😊
lol Tommy L. Jones is that dude!!
Yes, he’s truly amazing
This movie and Under Siege (1 year prior, same director) turned Tommy Lee Jones into a star
Don't forget JFK in 1991! But to my surprise, I once found out he was almost in Alien, over a decade earlier.
0:19 change the sound bite to "In a sluggish economy,never,ever f*** with another man's livelihood" lol
I can't agree with the other commentor more. This movie was perfect.
They figured all that out pretty quickly
I'll notify the media.

Segue to real life: how often do innocents get mangled in this corrupt system? Why is this tolerated?
I think Tommy Lee Jones really enjoyed making this movie. Its hard to outshine Harrison Ford in a movie, but this may be the rare case.
Magnífica película de acción y suspenso
I also knew that was an elevated train!
I am in this movie!
A) She was a hooa
B) She hit me
And that wasn't my kid she was carrying
Milwaukee doesn't have an el, it doesn't even have a subway.
It wasnt me. It was the one armed man!
They don't make movies like this anymore nothing but super hero's movies with boring actors and actresses these movies today
Shawny Samuels Nah, there’s plenty more films then those ones
And reboots of classic movies. Studios only want to play it safe these days.
I agree with you . I been watching more older shows lots with tlj real movies
And some people like you just complaint in the same line about "they dont make bla bla", while nowaday is still have many great movies.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was great, if Tarantino made films more often we’d really have a renaissance
1:37 "andiamo bambini" in italiano!!!
Stranissima questa cosa. Ma poi perché? Giusto uno che conosce l'italiano lo direbbe ma non mi risulta
He was in Chicago all the time.

Question. Why was Richard found guilty? He lent out his car to his friend therefore his friend would have his house keys. Sounds like reasonable doubt to me. Why did his lawyer not pursue this?
i think they would have had his phone records as well
1:38
wow cool
When will this be re-released in cinemas?
Maybe next year for its 30th anniversary
the correct spelling would be *el* train, as in elevated
There is no correct spelling other than spelling out the word "elevated". Both "L" and "El" are regional slang.
inn chicago, they are called "The 'L' train"
So did Richard's lawyer record their conversation and hand it to the marshals?
Earlier in the movie, Deputy Gerard says they want wire taps for Richard Kimball's friends and associates...especially his lawyer. So the marshals were recording the phone call.
Milwaukee doesn’t have an “L”. Miami does.
At least he didn't do a Peter Pan of the 'L' train.
It’s an El train short for elevated
... “ears of an eagle“ NO, “ ears of a rabbit“ Tommy should say. As for eagle, “eyes of an eagle“
There are no ELs in Milwaukee.
LOL I was scared me mistakenly remembering Milwaukee had an elevated train from the time I was a kid was en example of the Mandela Effect and then watching this I realized I must of have heard it in the Fugitive and I took it as truth as a kid. I guess either in the universe in which the Fugitive takes place Milwaukee really does have an elevated train or Cosmo was just mistaken and nobody bothered to correct him before they got distracted by the discovery.
Isn't wiretapping an attorney's conversation highly illegal?
PATRIOT ACT
Without a warrant, absolutely. Don't know if they got one.
I always assumed Kimbel's lawyer told the marshals about the phone call so he wouldn't get in trouble
@@jongon0848 The lawyer was not in trouble as long as he didn't give Kimbel money or help him hide from the authorities.
Greg Alexander at the beginning Gerard orders a whole bunch of phone taps on Richard’s inner circle, starting with his lawyer.
