Review of Three Fugitives (1989) by Steven1981 — 22 Mar 2020
Three Fugitives is another movie from my childhood which was great watching as a kid. Nick Nolte is released from prison after being on the inside for some crime or another then wants to start a new life but while in a bank discussing something with one of the workers or cashiers gets taken hostage by a dude wearing women's tights over his face as a disguise which is laughable.
He holds up the bank with a gun and demands money to be put in a bag then takes Nick Nolte who plays Lucas hostage and both flee in a car with cops in pursuit but cops lose them after the car turns over and rolls down an embankment or something.
The hostage taker played by Martin Short is very annoying and a stupid, laughable character, the veterinary doctor who's some old fart who takes a bullet out of Nick Nolte and treats him like a doggy is laughably embarrassing and pathetic and so childish and unconvincing.
Nick Nolte and Martin Short who's the hostage taker later kidnap Martin Shorts daughter from some hospital or something with cops still out looking for them and later on the hostage takers daughter is meant to be a boy after a haircut and Nick Nolte acts like a husband to Martin Short who took him hostage and Martin Short wears a ladies wig and is taken into hospital to give birth and rushes out of the building with the pregnancy lump disappearing when a teddy bear or cuddly toy falls out.
A fairly funny but ridiculous film with some likeable characters and some awful characters with bad acting and an appearance from James Earl Jones.
