The Fugitive (1993)

[Twelve75]

Great movie I would like to watch again

Not counting any of the Indiana Jones movies, this would be my favorite HF film.

I've never saw any of the Indiana Jones movies.

Saw this countless times and watch it every time it's on TV,just like I do with First Blood and Arnie's Total Recall.

His murdered wife,mid 30's Sela Ward looks fantastic too.

 

[The Diplomat]

I like to think my incessant bullying is part of what got him to finally watch those

Yeah, I tried to mention Die Hard and LW whenever I could, to goad him into watching them. Now he has to watch the rest in the series.

I always liked the scene where he fixes himself up in the hospital and gives himself a needle, then steals that patients eggs. Being a fugative when youre a doctor would be so much easier, you can repair yourself.

I have nothing but love for Fugitive, I remember going to theaters with my parents to watch it when it first came out. My dad was a huge mark for Steve Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones so any movie that had them in it we went to see in theaters opening weekend, just imagine how hyped my dad was for Under Siege!!! Holy shit.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Fantastic movie. One of those "they don't make em like they used to."

His last film was The Guardian, that Coast Guard movie with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher that came out in 2006. I never saw it, but the RT score is not very good. It made $97 million worldwide, but without knowing what the budget is, I have no idea if that's a solid take or not. At least one article I ran across called it a bomb, though.

The Guardian was pretty good, imo. You should check it out at some point SP.

Loved this movie as a kid, and when I watched it back a couple of years ago I thought that it held up great......except for the scene where he jumps into the water. It just seemed so silly that this fuckin doctor would dive from something that high. It just looked goofy and out of place. But the movie is a great thriller.

I have to strongly disagree with you on this one. I STILL remember sitting down and watching that film, and the reason I remember it is because I was super fucking disappointed in it. It felt extremely generic. Like if you had a computer program that could output a stock script for an action movie, it would probably spit out something like Collateral Damage.

I couldn't believe that Arnold was even in it. I remember thinking, "Damn Arnold, this is what we've come to?" It just seemed like such a step down--several steps down, really--from his prime. Even compared to End of Days I thought it was weak as fuck.

End of Days is solid IMO.
Breakfast: most important meal scene is GOAT.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

The pacing is great. You never get bored even during the slower sequences.
Great casting.

"I love finding leg irons with no legs in em."

"What does that mean? "

"It means, do you want another run at your bullshit story?"

@BisexualMMA I'm going walk back my statement about Arnold being in a better spot than Sly around that time.

We're talking the late 90s through the early 00s. During that time period Sly made Cop Land, Get Carter and Driven, all of which I think are better than anything Arnold did during that time. Driven in particular gets no respect but I actually think it's a cool movie. I never did understand the critical disdain for that one.

Because it was supposed to be a formula 1 movie that turned to Indy. Its shit either way.
I did like Get Carter remake and Cop Land. A lot, actually.

 

[neverwas]

very good film,i prefer the scenes with tommy lee though,he was right at the top for this film.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

That speech Tommy Lee gives when they start a big search party is GOAT.

So, TS you say are watching movies you should have seen...
Did you see The Breakfast Club, Stripes and Oscar ?

Breakfast Club - Yes.

Stripes - Many, many years ago. Don't remember much about it. Comedy is perhaps my least favorite genre.

Oscar - Nah, I skipped that one.

 

[GSP_37]

Good movie, but not a fan of Tommy Lee what's it.

Was US Marshall the sequel? Didn't see it since DVR auto-deleted it.

The pharmaceutical company is called Devlin MacGregor.

For Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor...

The subgenre of the "planner thriller" like Enemy of the State or No Country For Old Men.

 

[BEER]

The best thing about The Fugitive is when JD finds out the Janitor was in it as an actor.

 

[Deleted member 53199]

Very good film. Everytime I see it, I like it... 8/10.

 

[NewS]

Classic movie, 8,5/10, maybe even 9.

 

[shinobimusashi]

Classic, I remember going to see it in theaters with my parents when I was a kid.
