Trivia:

Robert Downey Jr. did not enjoy working on the production, and in an interview shortly after its release, he said of the film "it's possibly the worst action movie of all time, and that's just not good for the maintenance of a good spiritual condition. You've had a traumatic year, you've been practically suicidal- what do you think would be really healing for you? How about like twelve weeks of running around as Johnny Handgun? I think that if you talk to a spirit guide, they would say, 'That'll kill you.' I thought maybe there was something I was missing, and what I really needed to do was to be in one of those films that I love taking my kid to. But it wound up being really depressing. I'd rather wake up in jail for a TB test than have to wake up another morning knowing I'm going to the set of US Marshals."

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: When Sheridan jumps onto the train from the roof of the station, an airbag is visible on the other side of the train.

Quotes:

Sam Gerard: Remember, Sheridan could be anywhere people, stay alive.

Excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat sequel that you'll want to see over and over again

THE FUGITIVE, in my opinion, is an excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat sequel that you'll want to see over and over again. I know I wanted to see it over and over again after I first saw it at my father and stepmother's house a few years ago. If you ask me, Mark (Wesley Snipes) was a very desperate man out to prove the fact that he didn't do what the feds thought. This sort of reminds me of THE NEGOTIATOR, only this movie mostly takes place outdoors. Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) was a dogged U.S. Marshals in my opinion. This is because he wouldn't stop chasing Mark. In conclusion, I recommend this excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat sequel that you'll want to see over and over again to all you Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, or Robert Downey Jr. fans who haven't seen it. When you see this movie, hold on tight and prepare to be taken on a wild ride.
