    The Fugitive TV show ran from 1963 to 1967.

    We are further away from the Fugitive movie, than the movie was from the end of the TV show…

      Yep. That’s how time be working.
      I don’t see how that’s mind blowing in any way, but go for it.

    Loved watching the movie with the Director’s commentary track. That’s what’s missing from Streaming services, the extras we used to get with Physical media.

    Well, that was a fantastic read. Took about an hour with looking up some of the references they make and getting deeper into a few things. Thanks for posting!

    My favorite trivia for The Fugitive us how much they sent on a ‘realistic’ dummy for the scene where he falls from the dam… Money very well spent 🤣
