Man, Kimble was a very lousy fighter

Yeah, I welcomed the fact that a surgeon didn't immediately turn into a Ninja when confronted with danger.

I usually don't like Harrison Ford, but I have to agree. He had the much trickier, tougher role to play than Tommy Lee Jones did, and Ford was exceptional.

Funnily enough to this old imdb poster but Harrison Ford was nominated for a Golden Globe for this and the movie was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Hahahaha! Best comment on this board! ^^^^

You forgot the 'Damnit, Jim!'

But anyway, it's a philosophical difference.

A fighter learns how to DESTROY and INJURE someone, maybe even MURDER. A fighter becomes efficient in disabling someone's body's normal function. A crazy thing, but it's what it is. A fighter's job/mission is to stop the opponent's body's normal function enough that they can't be a threat to him, while keeping his own body's functionality as good and normal as possible.

A doctor learns how to HEAL and SAVE someone, maybe even bring back to LIFE. A doctor becomes efficient in restoring someone's body's ..

Well, you get the idea.

A fighter STOPS life in a body, a doctor is like a polar OPPOSITE, being a healer.

So of course a healer doesn't fight efficiently, because he doesn't want to become the opposite of what he has chosen as his life path and philosophy - he respects and helps life, a fighter would disrespect and disrupt life, possibly bring death.

The healer is on the side of life, the fighter is in the side of death, to oversimplify it.

Of course a healer is going to be as good a figher as a fighter is going to be a healer. Not very.
