Same Detectives as the Fugitive


The detectives in Chicago who catch and convict Richard Kimble are the same ones that are tailing morgan freeman in this movie.

Talk about Clean Renewable energy, Clean Renewable Actors.

What, after that case they move on to chasing 2 more fugitives. Just sitting on their fat lazy asses doing nothing. I understand using one of them but both of them together and they are still partners. What are they trying to accomplish here?

Um... no they're not tailing Morgan Freeman, they were the ones after Keanu.

The FBI Agents (Fred Ward and Kevin Dunn) followed Morgan Freeman.

But you're right about the detectives, and not only were they cops in "The Fugitive", they were also in "Code of Silence".

I believe they were once real life Chicago cops, and Andrew Davis tends to use the same actors in his movies.

reply

yeah, they tailed Wesley Snipes in U.S. Marshalls, 'the sequel to The Fugitive'.

And don't forget Neil Flynn (Scrubs' janitor), the cop on the roof who gets shot. He tried to stop Kimble on a train in The Fugitive, and had about as much luck in this movie.

I love it when they do things like that. Didn't notice it myself as its been awhile since I watched those movies. Like the idea that a bit actor can reprise the same role in different stories. I think it lends a little St. Elsewhere to it.

Also, the same black guy that Sam Gerald cornered in The Fugitive after he held one of his men hostage. He was in this film as well.
