What's your favourite scene?


Mine is when Kimble jumped into the water from the dam

I had 2.

1. The train crash. I used to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railway right past the wreckage. It's all faded and rusty now. No telling how much longer it will be there before it falls apart.

2. The last fight scene. Dr. Nichols is a big stocky guy and could easily throw scrawny Dr. Kimble across the room. But by then Dr. Kimble was on pure adrenaline and was gonna let Dr. Nichols have it, consequences be damned. Love when Gerard says to get rid of the helicopter "I don't wanna get shot!"

Jeroen Krabbe was a real hottie back in the day. 😍

That dude getting hit with the swinging beam. Hurts everytime.

Yeah, the first one that came to mind was Harrison Ford yelling "I didn't kill my wife" and Tommy Lee Jones replying "I don't care". There's just something about Ford fighting for his life and Jones' character was just trying to do his job, when it all comes together at the end when Jones' character does care.

That's it for me. Hard to believe that was an ad-lib.

So many to choose from. I really like the line “do you wanna change your bullshit story sir” line.

I like the scene right after Gerard talks to Sykes and even made a sound recording of it on my phone that I sometimes wake up to.

"Cosmo, this guy's dirty."
"Yes Sam. Yes he is. You want us to put our people on him?"
"Oh yeah. I want you to build a camp right here. Henry?"
"I'll take care of it."
"Noah, see this picture with all the fingerprints on it. I want you to find out who the guy is sitting next to Sykes. Find out his name, his age, his weight, his social security number, his location, relatives, pets, everything."

I like that you have that rather functional dialogue scene on your phone and use it as an alarm 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

I also like that we learn a character is called ‘Noah Newman’ in that scene.

When Kimble pulls the emergency cord on the subway and Sykes stumbles forward and gets punched in the face.

At the least it made me laugh.

Can´t go passed the dam scene and the lead up to it.
