Comment on Hollywood Doesn’t Make Movies Like ‘The Fugitive’ Anymore

I’m reading a lot of comments here saying “I don’t get it” but not realizing they’re saying they don’t get it.
The Fugitive was my favorite movie when it was made. It’s still up there. Some movies have a special influence on trends, or exemplify a particular genre. The Fugitive is peak something. It’s certainly not “just the remake of an old TV show.”
You don’t have to squat and shit on things that stand out. It’s okay not to talk about things you don’t know about.

As the one who said it was a remake of a show, I will give you that. It was peak adaptation of an older show. You’re very right there, it’s a damn good movie that stands on its own, regardless of where the idea came from.
I just liked throwing that typical argument back in the face of the writer. Hollywood keeps trying to recapture that lightning in a bottle, and gets criticized for it.
We just had The Fall Guy, too!
