I used to watch this movie all the time when I was growing up. Which was odd, considering that most kids in films/TV shows (and in general) tend to annoy me. I could totally identify with Kimble in this moment:

Another great moment was when he just dropped the kid who was eating other kids’ lunches.
Arnie is indeed quite good at comedy (I also really like him in True Lies).
I really enjoyed his character at the start of the film. From his introduction:
To how he gets Cindy to come in to testify against Crisp. Also, the way he just tosses Crisp around, smashing him into stuff – I loved that. And yes, Crisp was a decent villain (only surpassed in his nastiness by his horrible mother). I know I felt sorry for the guy he beat up to take the racing car set from.
I think this was the first movie I saw Penelope Ann Miller in (I’d later see her in The Shadow – and I think that was about it).
This was also the movie that introduced me to Pamela Reed (and I always remember her for her role in this). She was great playing off Arnie (the sequence with her being sick that ends with him carrying her inside is always amusing). I also liked when she rethinks sending him in (to fill her place) without a gun.
Lowell and his obsession with death was somewhat amusing, but even more funny was Linda Hunt’s delivers of “No, Lowell.” everytime he’d ask about someone dying. I will admit the kids got a laugh here and there (one such line being “What happened to your dog?” in reference to the ferret). Speaking of the ferret, I’m kind of glad he got to save the day by biting Crisp. Also awesome was Phoebe taking out Crisp’s mum with a bat and her, “Not so tough without your car, are ya?” line.
