I always feel like Dr. Richard Kimble could have saved himself a whole lot of trouble by hiring a better lawyer.

so... the U.S. sleeve art is different from the steelbook art?

Yeah as good as the movie is I still feel that even Lionel Hutz could have gotten Kimble acquitted (he actually really shouldn’t have even have been charged in the first place)

Yet another wealthy white man, railroaded by the justice system!

I remember the excitement of receiving the LaserDisc - the first side was in CAV, so you could sit and step through the train wreck frame by frame. Believe me, I did. Also, the cinema prints were awful. Warner Bros. had started using a new printing process for 35mm prints (I believe other studios, including Universal, also used the same process), in order to churn out thousands of prints, for theatrical exhibition. The picture was blurry. At least, that was the explanation I received, when I wrote in and complained, after attending the premiere. So now I'm looking forward to seeing The Fugitive in better quality at home, than when I originally saw it at the premiere!
