| From Kathryn Smith, Australia
The following is a transcript of the ET blurb on US Marshals
on July 31, 1997.
Entertainment Tonight lead in: picture of TLJ climbing over
a fence
Mary Hart's voice: "... tracking down a new suspect."
MCU shot of TLJ (in white shirt and tie): "I feel
pretty good."
Various shots of Wesley Snipes (WS) and Irene Jacob climbing,
Tommy Lee pointing his gun, and Robert Downey Jr (RDJr) running
and stumbling.
Mary Hart 's voice: "Wesley Snipes is on the run, the chase
is on, and RDJr is getting in on the action."
MCU of RDJr: "I've never really done a 'johnny handgun'
before."
TLJ chasing, Wesley Snipes running, TLJ running, lining
WS up in his gun sights
MH's voice: "And ET's the only one to bring you the star
studded sequel."
Lead in to story:
MH: (Re: Harrison Ford) "... thanks to the success of "Air
Force One", but long before he duked it out with Russian terrorists,
he was a man on the run from Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive"."
Shot of TLJ appears.
MH: "Now in the sequel, Harrison is history, and Wesley
Snipes is the fugitive who has Tommy Lee on his trail."
Actual story:
Voice (probably the director): "Action!"
TLJ running through graveyard, stops, aims gun, starts running,
climbs fence
MH's voice: "TLJ, hot off one of the summer's biggest block-busters
returns, not as a man in black, but as a U.S. Marshal."
MCU TLJ: "I feel pretty good. I'm happy to be working."
Voice: "Action!"
Shot of WS running with IJ, climbing boxes to get over
a fence
MH's voice: "Wesley's a supposed assassin on the run. This
fugitive gets a love interest - European actress Irene Jacob."
Still climbing over fence, WS is trying to get IJ over
it
MCU IJ: "I have to trust that he is innocent and
try to help him out."
MLS of TLJ, sitting on a concrete fence, emptying dirt out
of his right shoe.
TLJ: (To crewmember) "I know this train has your freight
Bill. I won't start."
Shot of train coming toward camera. Voice: "Go!"
MH's voice: "Tommy Lee keeps an eagle eye on every detail.
Shot of train then back to TLJ.
"He even reminds the wardrobe department that he needs his watch
so that every shot matches."
TLJ tying shoe. Crewmember leaves, saying: "Right,
here we go."
TLJ points to left arm: "I have no watch."
Crewmember: "It's coming. Let's go guys." TLJ
coughs. Other crewmember comes to hand watch to him.
TLJ: "You are now in a hurry. Thank you."
Shot of RDJr running toward camera
MH's voice: "On the Marshals' side is government man RDJr."
RDJr stumbles. "He says Jones and Snipes know how to
do this action stuff but he keeps doing schtick stunts for fun."
Shot of RDJr getting up. Voice: "Keep it rolling."
Crew laugh.
MCU RDJr: "They're pretty adept at doing movies like
this. I've never really done a 'johnny handgun' before."
Shot of TLJ scaling a fence, going over it and coming down,
then running down an incline to a road. TLJ keeps running; RDJr
runs behind him and falls. TLJ keeps running.
RDJr's voice: "Well it's a very powerful emotional scene.
I'm running through a cemetery - no, we're chasing, chasing Wesley (MCU
RDJr), so there's a lot of different places we're chasing him.
It's a long chase."
MCU TLJ: "It's like a family reunion. Ah we had a
lot of fun when we made the first one, and then, as it turns out, we still
continue to have a lot of fun."
Same shot of TLJ with raised gun.
Back to studio:
MH: "Did you see Tommy Lee get over that fence?" She
looks pretty amazed and Bob Goen laughs. MH: "I'm impressed.
If you remember that great train wreck scene near the beginning of "The
Fugitive" you won't be disappointed at what producers have in store
for "U.S. Marshals". This time the guys are taking a plane and
promise a spectacular crash that pulls out all the stops. "U.S. Marshals"
is due out next year."
