Plot hole: When Kimble is heading towards the dam driving the ambulance in the tunnel, his lane is empty in the wide angles, yet in the close-ups he is swerving the steering wheel violently as if there were cars ahead.

The Fugitive (1993)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: Harrison Ford, Joe Pantoliano, Julianne Moore, Sela Ward, Tommy Lee Jones
Other mistake: When Kimble takes the elevator to the conference to confront Dr. Nichols, he presses a button, but the one beside it is the one that actually lights up. In this particular elevator, the button he pressed is the one that should have lit up.
Richard Kimble: I didn't kill my wife!
Sam Gerard: I don't care. (00:37:10)
Trivia: Director Andrew Davis had Harrison Ford start the film with a beard, and then shave it off, rather than using a disguise for Richard Kimble throughout the film.
Question: At the very end, what was in the plastic bag that Tommy Lee Jones' character gives to Harrison Ford?
