Wow. A game nobody survives. But Schwarzenegger has yet to play. This is definitely a cult classic now - Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Running Man in on of his best movies and performances to date... its classic Arnold - all of the gore, all of the cheesey one liners, the hot 80s babe as the love interest... Arnold is a classic and thats why I love rewatching this film with buddies - its painfully funny. The Running Man Cast... Recognize these names? Of course you do! Arnold Schwarzenegger .... Ben Richards Jim Brown .... Fireball Jesse Ventura .... Captain Freedom Dweezil Zappa .... Stevie Richard Dawson .... Damon Killian Some of the greatest Arnold and 80s lines ever are from Running Man: Amber: They're running men. Last season's winners. Fireball: No. Last season's losers. Ben Richards: Killian, here's your Subzero, now plain zero. Ben Richards: I live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your god-damn spine! Amber: [after Richards cut Buzzsaw in half with a chain saw] What happened to Buzzsaw? Ben Richards: He had to split. Ben Richards: [trying to get Dynamo's attention] Hey, Lighthead! Hey, Christmas Tree!Read full review
The Running Man - An awesome concept with great action scenes Maybe not the best movie ever made, but one of the best concepts for a movie ever, and I mean ever. Arnie is awesome and the super-villains he must dispose of are intimidating. The action scenes are great and the acting is decent enough, but the story is just so awesome that you can't go wrong. The Running Man is extremely well made for an 80's action movie, and will always have a place on my DVD shelf. Final Verdict: 4/5 Rent or Buy?: Buy this movie now, seriously... Run! IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
The Running Man although used, turned out to be a good movie experience. I also enjoyed the sound and picture quality of this movie. All in all, it turned out really good. No complaints whatsoever. A definite recommendation.

another cop sent to jail for something he did not do. a real frame up. in the future the tv is the main source of entertainment,schools are closed,food is hard to find,the government wants people inside watching tv and not on the street rioting.turning people,family in for cash. the tv network has major clout and money. criminals are chosen to run for their lives with stalkers after them. stalkers are chosen by people in the studio audience. the underground manages to get the uplink codes with the wronged cop the running man. so the truth can be told. saving everyone. the best song RESTLESS HEART at the end of the movie,by john parr. it never made onto the movie CD.
a great movie highly entertaining this film shows what could happen if certain trends continue it is a possible future terrifying though it may be to contemplate. Arnold is excellent as usual as the wrongly convicted Ben Richards and Maria Conchita Alonso is marvelous as April . Yaphet Kotto is does his usual dynamite best and Richard Dawson does an excellent job as the smarmy(and slightly sleazy)Killion a great value at a great price and it arrived earlier than expected
