The Running Man 1

A future that is centered around endless television programming featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger in tights is a world I don't want to live to see.

Interesting look into the future though in that the film features two men who will become State Governors, Arnold and Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

The Running Man 3

A interesting film, that gave us a grim look at TV in the future.

The Running Man 4

Very good for an action movie.Even better as a prediction of a possible future where people are easily set up by video trickery and wrongly imprisoned.The public in this flick is ignorant and hooked on violent reality TV.Sound plausible?

The Running Man 4

This flick is directed by Paul Michael Glaser, of "Starsky & Hutch" renown.

Awnold, in the future, is framed for a crime he didn't do and is sentenced to serve on a murderous game show. You gotta run away from all the hunters who are after you, hence the title.

Richard Dawson is the heavy who is the game show host, what else?

I like the game show angle. I really got a kick out of Richard Dawson calling the president's agent to get Awnold out of stir and onto the show.

Awnold was convicted of his crime by the doctoring of a news tape by the government. That was disturbing. It appeared so easy and was so devastating to the truth.

I looked it up at Joe Bob's place and he likes it. Check out his review.
