The Running Man

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yes the classic cheesefest action/suspense movie from the 80's. I was just rewatching this and I kept thinking one thing. This is one movie that I would actually LIKE to see remade with today's technology. It looks so dated and is such an interesting concept and might be a good moneymaker since reality tv shows basically get a lot of the ratings these days. Anyone else agree?

 

[Batspider77]

Why not...i love that Movie very much,the only problem is who should take Arnies part?Maybe Russel Crowe?

 

[Ring Deacon]

Forget about remaking the movie, this one screams making it into a REAL reality TV show. LOL

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I loved this movie, it has such a good concept.

If there was a remake I would want Gerad Butler to play the lead.

I just really hope they wouldn´t cast the Rock, that would ruin the remake quickly.

Yes the concept is great and I think at the time it was made it showed great foresight into what kind of "reality" stuff that we watch today.

However gone are the days of the Arnold and to find an actor to fill this role would be hard.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I doubt it

Wasn't that Stone Cold Steve Austin movie The Condemed kinda like this? I never seen it but the premised seemed the same.

Yes 10 men go in 1 comes out kind of feel to it. Of course Stone Colds acting abilties may be on par that od Arnolds but that movie does not hit the right note. To remake this you would have to make it bigger than just a slug fest.

Plus it was more of a gam show then reality show.

I bought the movie for 5 dollars at walmart. good 80's action moive.

Indeed and the whole time the people watching the Running Man had no idea about the real side of the show. It had some depth even for an Arnold movie and that is the key to remaking it.

Looks like Stephen King was right with this movie- predicting the birth of reality TV. I agree that this is one movie that could use a remake- Arnie was mis-cast here. "Over here Christmas Tree!"

"Sub-Zero...now just plain zero"

One of the best lines in the movie.t:

 

[Iron_Stark]

"Sub-Zero...now just plain zero"

One of the best lines in the movie.t:

Also this one:

Richards: "Killian! I'll be back!"
Killian: "Only in a rerun."

Who would have thought that two of the stars would go on to become governors?

 

[Joker]

They already remade the movie, they just called it The Condemed this time...

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

My sister loves it but I just didn't dig it as much. It's fun, but I don't have the urge to revist it like I do Arnolds other films. Give me Predator, T2, and Total Recall.

Minnesota VS California SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

 

[GhostPoet]

Don't kill me...but i'd like to see The Rock in this role.

 

[Galactus]

If they remake this, hopefully they stay closer to the novel.

Mis-cast? If not him who else then?

 

[Superfreak]

this movie was the apex of arnold one liners:

'he had to split'

'just plain zero'

'hey, Christmas Tree'


And Maria Alonzo was at her MOST SMOKIN in this movie

 

[DorkyFresh]

this movie was the apex of arnold one liners:

'he had to split'

'just plain zero'

'hey, Christmas Tree'

yeah foreal...he even used "i'll be back!"





anywho...i like this movie cuz it was a part of my childhood (ha!) but it's horrible by today's standards. i wish we could've gotten a remake of THIS rather than any of the crappy ones from the last several years.

Forget finding an actor to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger, who could fill Richard Dawson's shoes?!

The fat guy from Home Improvement? John O'Hurley?! I don't think so.
