* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Micheal Douglas, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia, and Alec Baldwin were considered for the role of Richard Kimble. In fact, Baldwin was cast, but dropped out over a salary dispute. Meanwhile, Jon Voight and Gene Hackman were considered for the part of Samuel Gerard.

* FakeNationality: Barry Morse was British. A good thing, too, since anytime a person on the street got too threatening to him for being mean to Kimble, he could switch to his native accent and say, "Blimey, Gov, I ain't who you think I am! Must be that bloke on the telly who looks like me."

* ActorAllusion: Mr. Jeroen Krabbé! Would you please stop playing [[spoiler:[[TheLivingDaylights someone who is the protagonist's most trustful ally, before it turns out that he was the Big Bad the whole time, trying to manipulate his own agency as well as the hero('s) for some personal monetary gain, all while risking widespread deaths among the population in one way or another?!]]]]

** To say nothing of the several [[IndyPloy Indy Ploys]] Richard Kimble pulls off during the film. Doesn't the scene where Kimble is "chased" by the derailing train remind you of [[RaidersOfTheLostArk something]]?

*** Neil Flynn's appearance even became a subplot in an episode of the show, in which [[spoiler:it's implied that either the Janitor was in ''The Fugitive'' or that the Janitor is, in fact, Neil Flynn.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: A version of this in the final minutes of the film. Incensed when he discovers [[spoiler his so-called friend Dr. Nichols' duplicity]], Kimble ventures out to find him. After beating up the one-armed man--who has been ''sent'' by [[spoiler Dr. Nichols]] to finish him off, an even angrier Kimble continues his search, so consumed with rage that he doesn't give a second thought to the fact that he's out in public where he can easily be recognized. Then, of course, there's the vicious beating he delivers when he finds him. . .
