OK, Tommy Lee Jones's character in "The Fugitive" and "U.S. Marshall's" (Sam Gerard) is called upon to lead a nationwide manhunt. The fugitive in question is wanted (framed obviously), for assassinating the President while the President was giving a speech in a major city somewhere in the middle of America.
The fugitive must escaped the manhunt, then clear his name, using whatever methods they see fit. Here is the fugitive list:
1. Jason Bourne
2. James Bond (Pierce Brosnan version)
3. Bob Lee Swagger
4. John McClane
5. Leon (The Professional)
6. Snake Plissken
7. Boondock Saints
8. Dr. Richard Kimble (Why not? :lol
9. James Carter (Rush Hour)
10. The Jackal (Bruce Willis)
Who will make it and who won't? Feel free to add and discuss additional fugitive candidates, or someone besides Gerard to lead the manhunt.

Bond, McClane, Leon and Bourne, will know the SOP from most official organisations, and I think would make great fugitives.
Im not too clued up on the others so I'll reserve judgement til I can be fussed about finding out who they are.
Let's say that they are ALL suspects at the same time and must all run at the same time. Who lasts the longest?

I'd say Bourne and Bond. I would say Leon, but i really don't know how he is going to clear his name, he doesnt even exist. Bourne and Bond will be the ones who will be able to go the distance the easiest.
I think all of the other candidates will be able to escape the manhunt easily, except for, Snake Pliskin, Carter and the Boondock Saints. I don't see these guys eluding the manhunt.

Well, McClane has a knack for stumbling through scenarios where most men would crumble. Sure, McClane wouldnt know what the hell he is doing here, but he seems to always find a way. Just look at his fight scenes, he is almost always outclassed, but he always wins.

If it was pure luck that McClane relied on, he would have just sat on that roof in DH1 and let the C-4 go off, put his fingers in his ears and hoped for luck, (which would have got him killed, of course.)
No, he survived in and up to that situation by his own hand, largely.
Every bit of 'Luck' that comes his way is actualised in part by sustained stealthy efforts at self preservation/taking out bad guys.
Ergo: To just say it is pure luck "is shallow and pedantic", as Peter Griffin would say.
Besides if he was THAT lucky, wouldnt Hans have tripped down the stairs and broke his neck just after the opening credits, eliminating the terrorist threat, and allowing John and Holly a happy xmas..?
But no. McClane has the misfortune to have to crawl around in vents being shot at, getting shot, having his feet gashed to ribbons by glass, sustaining heavy bloodloss, then still having to fight the FBI and the head bad guys off.
Some might that that was very UNlucky.
Especially when Xmas eve three years later bad guys ruin xmas AGAIN. And I didnt see him winning any lottery wins.
Mhm....Helicopter killed by Crown Vic, indo story.

I know he aimed it, man. I am speaking of his resourcefulness, that's all. He had the presence of mind to use the car, it shows that he adapts to most given situations.
