What's your favourite scene?


Mine is when Kimble jumped into the water from the dam

The train crash. I watch that part in slow motion and he makes it by a second. Just an incredible stunt. When I was that in the theater I almost jumped out of my chair.

The part where they're tracking down the other fugitive and Gerard kills him.

The helicopter chase.

I like the scene where Kimble saves the kid in the hospital and Julianne Moore rats him out. She's interviewed by Gerard after a 12-hour shift -- and she looks impossibly beautiful (73 minute mark).

An interview with the co-writer/director discloses that Moore originally signed on to be a love interest. She was supposed to take Kimble in, but the filmmakers eventually recognized that as a problem and the director called her and said that her role would have to be trimmed.

reply

Why would that have been a problem?

reply

Because it was perceived as undermining the character's love for his wife. Instead of finding her killer, he's ballin' a young doctor.

reply

Good point, though it was kind of implied that she could be a love-interest in the future, which was nice.

reply

No, I hate that scene, there's no way he'd survive that.

reply

The whole film. lol

Mine is when Deputy Gerard shoots that black guy with such precision timing without killing Newman as well?? (Sarcasm)
