Review of The Running Man (1987) by Brad G — 27 Jun 2012
"This is a sport of Death & Honor! Code of the Gladiators!" Loosely based on a Stephen King novel, this classic Arnie cheese fest aims to please with its litany of goofy-cool stalkers (Jim Brown as Fireball! Jesse Ventura as Captain Freedom! Professor Toru Tanaka as Sub-Zero!).
Made at the height of Schwarzenegger cool, squished right between the high art of Predator and Red Heat, The Running Man offers up some of Arnie's best worst one-liners: "Here's Sub-Zero, now Plain Zero!" "Have a light.
"Â? "He had to split."Â? Good game show dystopian fun. And Richard Dawson is one of my all time favorite movie villain pricks. VF.
