" It is the year 2019. "The Running Man" is a deadly game no one has ever survived. But..... Schwarzenegger has yet to play.

"6.1/10"

“There is no point in comparing it to Stephen King's novel because it stands out a lot from it. The book combines suspense and drama while Paul Michael "Starsky" Glaser's film is a totally enjoyable and uninhibited B series about the manipulation of the masses.

Pure pleasure bathed in a very ... eighties aesthetic. Just a big (guilty?) fun. With Schwarzie (one of my idols) and the beautiful Maria Conchita Alonso. It cannot be refused!” read more

"Seen on theater in the 80s. Maria Conchita "HOT" Alonso See my review here : https://www.listal.com/viewentry/22634201. "

“Another "kill the guy and make a joke" movie that works better than it should. Arnold is in peak condition and Richard Dawson is perfectly cast as the sadistic gameshow host. Maria Conchita Alonso actually gets the funniest line when Dynamo comes after her and she insults his manhood, then she electrocutes him.” read more

"Re-watch - June 28th I couldn't let my weekend end without one good King adaptation, so I watched The Running Man for the umpteenth time. I don't have anything new to say about it, so I'll just throw out there that it'd be interesting to see a new adaptation of it with the right director. "

""I'll be back" - The first time of many Arnold self-imitation quotes. I finally got to watching this 80s action classic. And wow, is it an 80s movie! It's so bad and yet so good. Definitely a guilty pleasure. Schwarzenegger was so likable back then."
