Trivia:

The cemetery scene, which is clearly set in New York in the film, and is also referred to as "Queens Hill Cemetery" by Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) on his radio, is actually Bohemian Cemetery in Chicago.

Goofs:

Chen is a cultural attache at the Chinese Mission to the U.N. However, scenes and dialog all show him coming in and out of the Chinese Consulate in NY. They are actually two separate missions, and the plaque on the Consulate entry with a red tian-an-men image is certainly a fabrication. All Chinese diplomatic and consular missions use a standard brass name plaque with only text on it. The national emblem is also displayed at the entry but it is a round figure.

Quotes:

Cosmo Renfro: I think you owe me an apology.
Sam Gerard: I know. I know, but...
Cosmo Renfro: But what?
Sam Gerard: I don't even like you!

boooring!

now, "The Fugitive" is one of my favorite movies ever, but this movie is definitely unworthy of being the sequel of that film. Wesley Snipes is very boring and uninteresting, and so is the storyline. I never cared about what happened to Mark, but in The Fugitive you really root for Richard Kimble, and you hate Sam Gerard. I thought this movie was totally unnecessary, because the idea is exactly the same as its predecessor, it's just brought in a boring way. I registered a vote of 4 with the IMDb.
