[edit] Nichols

Who is Nichols? He was arrested at the end, but was not previously mentioned. --66.131.119.69 07:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MGS 3: Snake Eater

There's a part where Jack (Big Boss) escapes capture by jumping out of the sewers alá Harrison Ford. There isn't any similar dialogue; I'm not sure if this is a referrence, an homage, or possible Hideo was just inspired by the film and it's not directly related. What does everybody else think?

[edit] It's not Russian

Does anyone know what language the landlord speaks to her son when Kimble is looking over the basement apartment? It's not Russian (according to my wife). Also, a translation would make a good addition to this page, if available. Thanks. --proteus71 6 Oct 2005, 18:10 GMT

I had assumed it was Russian, but since you say it isnt I dont know then ---- Astrokey44|talk 12:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

According to The Internet Movie Database, the family is Polish. -Gillean666 15:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Johnny Bravo

• There's an episode of Johnny Bravo that's a parody of this. Anyone have a link? 172.149.172.31 19:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nichols: Dead?

I think it is safe to assume he is dead. All of the key players who survived are seen being escorted out of the hotel, the one-armed man, Kimble, the other US Marshal from whom Nichols to the gun, etc. Nichols is never shown exiting the hotel. Besides, Nichols suffered a grueling beating from Kimble on the rooftop and in the presidential suite and a fall through a skylight and an elevator roof. Two brutal strikes from a lead pipe could have easily killed him. But that's ok, I reached a compromise explanation, I wrote that he is "likely" dead, as it isn't 100% certain whether or not he died, but it is more likely he is dead than he isn't. If the filmmakers showed everyone else exiting the building, Nichols could have easily been shown had he been alive.

[edit] Film's Inspiration

Wasnt this film inspired by a Supreme Court case Sheppard v. Maxwell (1966)? MasonicLamb 23:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Short version: this film was inspired by the TV series of the same name. The producers always said they were not inspired by the Sam Sheppard case but some people believe they were after all and just wanted to avoid the legal complications if they admitted they had. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I finnaly figured it out

sorry about all the spam edits, I was having a tough time doing what i was trying to do (link a phrase to a specific page)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Fugitive movie.jpg

Image:The Fugitive movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Hotel

Does anyone know for certain in what hotel the climactic scenes take place? 68.154.254.17 (talk) 06:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Insufficient context in opening line

Take a look at Film Style Guidelines. The opening sentence shouldn't contain "award-winning", but I noticed no other section outlines the awards the film won. When I get a chance, I will look at removing the "award-winning" from the first sentence, and expanding on the awards either in the lead paragraph, or a new section.

[edit] Are you fucking SERIOUS??

Nothing happened at Daley plaza, it happened at the police station, and he never said there was a "person in a blue topcoat" he said there was a "man in a blue coat." And he didn't say he was waving a gun "at a woman" he simply said he was "waiving a gun around." What kind of dumbass wrote this plot? It was obviously done from memory in a lame attempt to write another article to impress WikiNazis. This should all be fixed. 66.230.84.164 (talk) 07:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
