The Fugitive Trivia Questions

Answer: Jeroen Krabbe

Krabbe, born in 1944 in The Netherlands, portrayed Dr. Charles Nichols. Dr. Nichols was a colleague of Richard's and was seen midway through the film driving down the street. A homeless person started to clean his car and Dr. Nichols shooed him away and then he noticed Richard on the passenger side of his car. Richard asked him for money so Dr. Nichols spotted him a few bucks but then Richard left since there was a squad car behind Charles. Richard later found out that Dr. Charles Nichols and Sykes, who was a security guard for a pharmaceutical company, switched samples for a drug study. Charles and Sykes realized the drug they wanted to market had many problems with it and certain samples from the drug study indicated this. They switched those samples with clean ones to make it seem as if there was nothing wrong with the drug. Richard then found out Dr. Nichols and Sykes planned to kill him since he questioned them about the drug study. Richard confronted Dr. Nichols about this at a ceremony at a hotel where Dr. Nichols spoke about the drug. Krabbe guest starred on the TV series "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", "Miami Vice" and "Tatort".

Answer: Sela Ward

Sela Ward appears in a few flashbacks and dream sequences. Her dying words to a 911 dispatcher are "Richard... he's trying to kill me." The court misinterprets this as Helen naming her killer as her husband, when in fact she is calling for his help. She takes another role as a doctor's love interest in "House, M.D." She appears in several episodes during the 2005-2006 season as House's former longtime girlfriend, Stacy Warner.

Answer: Joan Kohn

Kohn had the minor role of an Assistant District Attorney. She was first seen questioning a witness by the name of Detective Kelly, who worked for the Chicago Police Department. She asked Detective Kelly what he observed when he went to the Kimble's residence after Helen dialed 911 and he told her. The Assistant District Attorney then asked the judge to play Mrs. Kimble's 911 call, which he did. She mentioned that the 911 call was identified by the dispatcher who took the call. Kohn starred in the movies "Losing Isaiah", "To Sir, with Love II" and "Chain Reaction".

Answer: I don't care!

Gerard does say "Richard, do you want to get shot?" to Kimble, but this is a few minutes later, just before Kimble jumps off the dam. The line was originally scripted as "That's not my problem," but at the request of Tommy Lee Jones, it was changed to "I don't care!"

Answer: "Be good."

Copeland was an interesting character. I wish he could have survived later in the film. He might have been helpful to Richard.

Answer: Copeland

Copeland frees himself and Kimball of the shackles and starts off on his own. Kimball says 'Hey Copeland'?, 'Be good'.

Answer: Dark and Natural

Richard looked pretty good with dark hair and a lot better without that scruffy beard.

Answer: Nichols

Dr. Charles Nichols ends up being the main bad guy. He was played by Jeroen Krabbe.

Answer: To obtain information from the prosthetics lab.

Richard creates a fake ID and goes to Cook County Hospital. He is disguised as a janitor in order to obtain a list of prosthesis patients in an attempt to find the one-armed man. While there, he changes the orders in the chart of a young boy who is misdiagnosed with a fractured sternum, which results in the boy receiving life-saving surgery. Richard does do a drug study on Provasic, but he enlists the help of his colleagues at Chicago Memorial for this.

Answer: Scrambled eggs rolled up in a piece of bread

He is so hungry in this scene and licks his fingers, even if it is someone else's hospital food! It had probably been at least 24 to 48 hours since his last meal.

Answer: "Every time I look in the mirror, pal, except for the beard of course."

Then one last exchange: the policeman silently points and motions with his finger to Richard to pull his zipper up.

Answer: "He's got a puncture wound in his upper gastric area."

When Richard says this, and sees the prison guard look up at him, he re-positions the oxygen mask on the guard so he can't speak. The EMTs go on into the hospital commenting, "How can he tell that by looking at his face?" Then, after they go into the hospital, Richard steals the ambulance!

Answer: "We've got a gopher!"

When the marshalls think they have him surrounded in the tunnel, they can't believe he could escape. Gerard realizes Richard has gotten away for sure when he hears water draining somewhere in the tunnel.

Answer: "The guy did a Peter Pan right here off of this dam!"

Renfro then says, "Can we go home now?" and Gerard answers with a definite, "No!"

Answer: "Oh my God, Jesus, you're back!"

How could Dr. Nichols be so seemingly genuine and caring?

Answer: "You can look it."

She is such an innocent. Richard likes his hideaway. He says, "It's perfect." Too bad the son turns out to be a criminal and gives the cops a lead on Richard.

Answer: "Eating oranges and making IDs."

Gerard says out loud to himself, "Where you at Desmundo Jose Ruiz?" (Richard's fake ID name).

Answer: He joins the St. Patrick's Day parade, puts a hat on and takes off his coat.

Richard almost didn't get away, but the building's security doors shut with him escaping barely (his foot got stuck momentarily), and Gerard and company delayed inside just long enough.

Answer: Sykes' apartment.

Sykes was such a sleezy character. The actor, Andreas Katsulas, played the same sort of character in "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Answer: He unlocks his handcuffs and puts an ice pack on his wrists.

I love this part because the two great characters are finally together and Gerard gets to show Richard that he does care, but not to tell anyone. Great, great scene. Perfect ending.
