Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hunter is a 1980 action thriller film directed by Buzz Kulik and starring actor Steve McQueen in his final role; he would die in November of that year, just three months after its release.The film is an episodic and heavily fictionalized account of the exploits of real-life bounty hunter Ralph "Papa" Thorson, as he goes after bail-jumpers across the country. In a subplot, Papa and his pregnant girlfriend (Kathryn Harrold) are stalked by a psychotic drug addict out to seek revenge on the former for apprehending him. The movie is also notable for featuring LeVar Burton in one of his earlier cinematic roles.

Brutal Honesty: On being faced with parents who insist Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal, Blumenthal points out their son is a rat who's hiding out regardless of his parents having to forfeit the bail money, because if he does surrender he'll go to jail for a long time.

This movie is one of the more accurate depictions of what a bounty hunter does in Real Life. At one point, Papa requires one of his captured bail jumpers (played by Le Var Burton) to read aloud the federal laws governing how bounty hunters work.

Bounty Hunter: "Papa" Thorson, of course. This movie is one of the more accurate depictions of what a bounty hunter does in Real Life. At one point, Papa requires one of his captured bail jumpers (played by Le Var Burton) to read aloud the federal laws governing how bounty hunters work.
