“The Fugitive” Goofs List
- Continuity: There are no train tracks visible when the prison bus first comes to rest after leaving the road. Furthermore, it is resting parallel to the road, where no train could possibly broadside it.
- Factual errors: Illinois State Police troopers wear six-pointed star badges, not seven-pointed stars as shown.
- Crew or equipment visible: Camera truck visible at the bottom of the screen as Kimble enters the tunnel.
- Continuity: When Kimble calls Walter from the pay phone, the bell on the bridge gives its last ring just after his first line, “Walter, this is Richard.” When Gerard plays back the tape of the call, the bell rings 4 or 5 more times after that.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Kimble is making the call, the PA announcement for an El train is overheard. While PA announcements are now made only inside the train, at the time, they were clearly audible in the station (maybe more so than in the train), and even in the nearby streets.
- Crew or equipment visible: Visible in reflection on subway windows.
- Continuity: The clock on the building during the parade scene.
- Revealing mistakes: During the scene on the train, when Kimble kicks Sykes backwards, you can clearly see Sykes stretching his right hand. This hand is shown to be prosthetic and the hand immobile.
- Errors in geography: During the scene in Whiting, there is an Illinois State Trooper in front of the house. Whiting is in Indiana, out of the jurisdiction of the Illinois Troopers.
- Continuity: During the bus wreck scene, when the bus is driving down the road and crashing, there is a double yellow line and a guard rail. A few minutes later, the same road is line with police cars and fire trucks with no line or rail.
- Crew or equipment visible: As the train wreckage comes to rest Kimble is hiding under a small trestle bridge. A shot up at the wreckage shows a crew member’s face above the trestle. This error was corrected for the most recent DVD release of the film, after the director noticed it. The crew member reappears on the Blu-Ray disc version of the film.
- Continuity: Kimble’s tone of voice when he calls his lawyer doesn’t match the phone-tap recording that is played back later.
- Errors in geography: During the ambulance chase, two police cars turn by a sign pointing to Murphy which is in North Carolina.
- Continuity: When Kimble enters the elevator in the hotel on the way up to see Charles, he pushes the top middle button, but the top right button lights up instead.
- Continuity: Kimble’s black plastic bag when he rents the apartment from the Polish woman.
- Continuity: Spot of blood on the sheets of the boy whose life Kimble saves in the hospital.
- Factual errors: Kimble and Nichols leave the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton Towers and go next door to the presidential suite. The ballroom is on the second floor of the Hilton, while the presidential suite is on the top floor. Next door to the Grand Ballroom is the International Ballroom.
- Factual errors: In surgery, Kimble holds his needle driver incorrectly.
- Continuity: The dead inmate’s legs in the bus wreck change from being sideways and dirty to straight ahead and clean.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the laundry room at Hilton Towers, a cart is clearly marked “Palmer House”, a different Chicago hotel. However, since they are both Hiltons and near each other, it’s not unlikely they would share some back-room equipment.
- Errors in geography: Though the movie is set somewhere in Chicago’s Near North side, we see Kimble walking by the University of Chicago’s science library (the John Crerar Library), which is located on the South Side.
- Continuity: Repeated footage: When Richard Kimble is running from the train wreck in the woods, before he reaches the hospital.
- Continuity: When Kimble is having the passport photos taken, he is wearing the green shirt which he doesn’t buy until later.
- Continuity: Altitude of the police chopper when Gerard says “We’ve got him now” while landing outside of the tunnel.
- Continuity: When the chopper lands outside the tunnel, two state police cars pull up behind it. As Gerard, Renfro and Poole run into the tunnel, the cars pull up again.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Renfro says, “Chicago PD will eat him alive,” his head turns several times, but his lips don’t move.
- Continuity: When Gerard interviews Nichols in his office, he says that Nichols and Kimble graduated from medical school together, “class of 1973″. However, the picture he is looking at on the wall reads “University of Chicago Interns ‘72-73″, which means that Nichols and Kimble would have graduated medical school in 1972.
- Continuity: At the end of the movie, when Richard is being taken out of the Hilton towers, the trees across the street from the hotel are in full bloom. However, here are no green leaves on the trees in mid-March in Chicago.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): It is mentioned that several other cities have an “El” (Elevated) train system. Milwaukee is named but has no such system.
- Continuity: When the prison transport crashes, and falls down the hill, Kimble can be seen without handcuffs, but after the bus stops, he asks the guard to uncuff him.
- Continuity: When Kimble and Gerard are running through the tunnels, just before Kimble jumps out of the tunnel into the dam, Kimble jumps down into a undisturbed pool of water. Seconds later, when Gerard jumps into the same pool of water, it is still undisturbed, although Kimble just jumped and ran through it.
- Continuity: Richard’s clothes remain dry after he has jumped into the dam.
- Continuity: Richard Kimble has a stand-off at the end of the tunnel with U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard. He then jumps from the tunnel on the dam’s face into the water below. In the exterior shots of the dam afterwards, it is clear that there are no tunnels coming through the face of the dam (the water flows over the top.)
- Revealing mistakes: Obvious dummies in the bus when it flips over.
- Crew or equipment visible: Studio lights visible as the train approaches the bus.
- Revealing mistakes: When Kimble is escaping in the ambulance, the camera pans to the right where we see the dam, but the water coming out of it isn’t moving.
- Errors in geography: The Marshals tracked Dr. Kimble from the phone call at the one armed man’s house and said that his address was 10256 S. Saint Lawrence. The Marshals went in and come out of 11217 S. Saint Lawrence. Also, the house that the one armed man went into was on the other side of the street.
- Crew or equipment visible: During the chase in the dam tunnel the dolly track is visible in the water.
- Revealing mistakes: When Dr Charles Nichols is hit from behind by Kimble in the laundry at the end of the movie, the gun in Nichols’ hand is resting on his other hand, and he is obviously unconscious. However, when Sam Gerard goes to disarm him, the gun is lying flat on the ground.
- Continuity: When Richard prints his list of one-armed suspects, he crumples the paper before putting it in his pocket. In subsequent scenes, the paper is folded but uncrumpled.
- Revealing mistakes: When Kimble is confronting Nichols in the Hilton ballroom, the rear shot shows Kimble extends his arm to the right motioning to Nichols to leave the room to the right. When the shot then goes to the front, his arm is still at his side.
- Miscellaneous: After the train wreck, when Dr. Kimble is in that small wooden shed and looks up to see part of the train on top of it, you can just see an anonymous man in the top right-hand corner of the screen (not on the DVD edition).
- Continuity: In the opening scenes where the police are photographing Helen’s body she appears to be lying on her back. The next few scenes show her being photographed lying on her side next to the phone.
- Crew or equipment visible: Moving shadows, possible that of a crew members hand, can be seen on the elevator interior wall behind Dr. Kimble as he exits the elevator on the 5th floor laundry room (after the fall from the skylight).
- Continuity: Walking down hospital hallway Gerard asks “Where you at Desmondo?” His red scarf is clearly under his top coat. Seconds later while speaking with Renfro his red scarf is now over his top coat.
- Factual errors: While headed on the train with the one armed man, “his stop” and a variety of lines include a destination as the El’s Balbo St
