Episode 9b -- The Fugitive (1993) POST-SHOW

Even if you don't care who really killed Richard Kimble's wife, we're here to tell you that "The Fugitive" totally holds up as a thinking-person's action thriller. We really enjoyed the performances of all the ensemble in this movie -- not so much the amount of shouting, though. We pour one out for the last 20 years of Harrison Ford's career; let's just say that the 21st century has not been very kind to him cinematically. We bow at the feet of Tommy Lee Jones, who really earned his Oscar award in this performance. We debate when exactly Samuel Gerard flipped from pursuing marshal to sympathetic marshal. We try to break down the memorable train derailment scene and discuss how the it was pulled off. And we debate some of the hair and costume choices of some of the cast in this film. A good time was had by all.
