    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For shooting the scenes on the plane, director Stuart Baird and production designer Maher Ahmad looked at real prisoner transfer planes, but were disappointed to find that they looked just like regular planes. As such, they came up with the design of the plane seen in the film - the feet restraints, the cage door, the mechanical locking system, the open toilet, et cetera.
    • Goofs
      After the plane crashed upside down, the guns were removed from the gun rack right side up, (i.e. stock down). If the plane was upside down, the stock of the rifle would be upward.

      Cosmo Renfro: The Great Sam Gerard.

      Sam Gerard: Yes, I am.

      Cosmo Renfro: And you always have to win.

      Sam Gerard: Yes, I do.

    • Alternate versions
      Original theatrical and VHS releases have the 1998 WB "75th Anniversary" logo, while the later prints (notably on DVD and Blu-Ray releases and on HBO airings) had the standardized 1999 WB logo with the 2003 TimeWarner byline while retaining its soundtrack from the 1998 logo.

    strong sequel
    Great follow up to THE FUGITIVE with Tommy Lee Jones this time chasing Wesley Snipes. Both leads are great and the supporting cast is solid as well. The action scene's are very good as well. A few in particular include the search for Snipes in the swamp, and the airplane crash. The only problem with the film was it was a little longer than it should've been, but aside from that its a solid sequel. 4/5

    FAQ14

    • Has Tommy Lee Jones done any other action movies?
    • Are there any references to "The Fugitive" in this film?Jones' most iconic / classic scene in the Fugitive was the one where it was found that there was indeed a fugitive. He then takes over the investigation and instructs the police to establish a perimeter and to search every house, dog house, out house, etc. In this film there is a similar scene a less experienced officer is trying to decide how to do the search. But for a change-up and fan service, you can see Jones' politely biting his lip, trying to be nice and not interrupt the officer, the audience knowing he's champing at the bit to use the skills he displayed so well in the prior movie.
    • Hang on. Samuel Gerard chases an innocent man who escapes from custody due to a crash and sets about uncovering a conspiracy. Haven't we seen this already?
