    So "The Fugitive" is on cable tonight and I'm watching it.

    They get to the point at the jail, where Tommy Lee Jones is chasing him and he's making a break for the slowly closing security door.

    I remembered the bit where he gets his foot stuck in it, but I half expected him to slide for the door. Then I remembered that's a different movie--one where he reaches back to grab his hat (before being chased by a giant boulder).

    Anyways, he gets out and gets away. And his pursuers are on the wrong side of the door. And I half-expected Tommy Lee Jones to say "Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!"

    :lol:

    Hard to say. All I know is I wish my theater had a revolving door when the latest Indiana Jones movie played. Going round-and-round in it would have been more entertaining IMO. :(

    Tom Cruise runs in every movie, Clint Eastwood squints in every movie, Tom Hanks sucks in every movie and Harrison Ford barely squeezes through sliding doors in every movie. Everybody has their own thing.

    I do like this show, but sometimes I wish the director would get him to do something different. Just to shake things up a bit.

    I'd love to see a starting where somehow they have Caruso wearing a welding helmet with the mask up. When he goes to deliver the punch line, he flips the dark mask down and only a muffled, unintelligible voice can be heard within. :lol:

    Horatio: "You know what they say. If you can't stand the heat---"

    (flips mask down)

    Horatio (con't, muffled): "mmmmbmeemm-mmmdfmm-ummmmen"

    Long time ago i edited together "The Perils of Harrison," where I put together all the similar scenes from his films (up to Temple of Doom). Being beat up, leaping thru closing doors, falling into pits, having walls close in on him, etc,etc. It ran 20 minutes and I still had material left, but my friends told me it was too long. :(
