THE RUNNING MAN is the top-rated TV show, where condemned criminals are given a chance for freedom by running through a gauntlet of heavily armed killers known as Stalkers, the shows stars. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars Ben Richards, an ex-cop wrongly convicted of the massacre of unarmed civilians. He's joined by fellow prisoners Yaphet Kotto and Maria Conchita Alonso as they try to survive Stalkers, Fireball (Jim Brown), Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura), Subzero (Toru Tanaka), Buzzsaw (Gus Rethwisch) and Dynamo (Erkabd Van Lidth).

Anything I can still buy on a spinning platform that has a digital copy gets five stars. Because spinning platforms are dead. Until the zombie apocalypse. Then I will enjoy this using the disc with one of my many PS5s powered by a solar generator.

This is one of those guilty pleasures I’ve always liked so had to pick it up in 4k. Looks better than ever. Nice slipcover, but disappointed there were no extras. I rarely buy movies with no extras and wouldn’t have expected this is one I would break my rule. Does come with a digital copy and just would have like a “making of” or a couple of features. That said if you’re an Arnold fan this looks really good. Plus Richard Dawson (Rip) plays a great bad guy. Enjoy this for what it is and not what it’s missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars 18-24-61-B...dang what were the rest?

This is an essential Arnold (and Maria) movie. Richard Dawson also gives us a terrific alternate-universe version of himself. I (and I suspect others) like to view this movie and Total Recall back-to-back.

You will likely have a pretty good idea of this movie's plot already, so aside from testing your memory on remembering the main satellite uplink's deactivation code, I'll add that this 4K version seems to make full-use of a 4K television's pixels. I don't have any older 1080i/1080p Blu-Ray version of this movie to compare, but I do still have my older DVD version to compare to, and there is no question of the higher quality video image. While my Sony UBP-X800 4K player provides excellent upscaling from DVD, playing this native 4K disc was noticeably better to my eyes, particularly in faster-moving action sequences such as when the rocket cart careens the 'contestants' down in to the 20 block game zone.

I didn't really use any special features yet, but I should note that Paramount is currently including a free digital movie version to stream anywhere in this otherwise boxed disc (good until 5/23/2025). Read the terms, and note you will need a high-speed internet connection. I'm not sure if the movie can be loaded onto a tablet and watched later, say on an airplane, but it's a nice throw-in.

I think the last two numbers were 17-4?? And now, I think I'll go to visit Mars, for...two weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wrongly convicted man is forced to run in a deadly and macabre TV game show in the future.
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023

Arnold Schwarzenegger is "The Running Man" in this scifi film classic from 1987-88. It's set in a dystopian future in which the United States has become a dictatorship run by a militarized political elite known as
"The Cadre". One of the ways in which the Cadre maintains its power is by altering television film footage so that an incident's narrative fits the government's version of events. Schwarzenegger's character, for example, was a police captain falsely convicted of being "The Butcher of Bakersfield" when in fact he tried to prevent an armed police helicopter from firing into a crowd of protesters. After escaping from a federal prison, he is recaptured and forced to participate in the grisly but highly popular "Running Man" game show on TV, in which convicts can survive and get rich (in theory) IF they successfully complete a run through a ruined section of Los Angeles while being pursued by deadly and sadistic hunters who wear a variety of bizarre costumes. Richard Dawson portrays the evil and narcissistic game show host in this film. Maria Conchita Alonso becomes Arnold's ally after initially turning him in. Jesse Ventura plays a
commentator for the show. Look for "The Solid Gold Dancers", a staple of 1980's television. Directed by Paul Michael Glaser.

Einer meiner Lieblingsfilme. Die Bildqualität geht in Ordnung, wenn man bedenkt aus welchem Jahr er stammt. Hin und wieder gibt es kurze Sequenzen, die von der Bildqualität nicht so optimal sind. Sind doch schon ziemliche Unschärfen und Rauschen vorhanden. Aber jeweils immer nur für ein paar Sekunden. Ansonsten, TOP Film. Ich mag ihn und würde ihn weiter empfehlen. Zumal die Verpackung als Steelbook auch recht schön gestaltet ist. Die Bonus Blu-ray habe ich noch nicht angeschaut.

The Running Man is a film directed by Paul Michael Glaser, the original Dave Starsky from the '70s TV show Starsky & Hutch. The film was written by Richard Bachman, or Steven King by his real name. It was filmed with a $27 million budget and released in late November, 1987 by TriStar Pictures. The film features music by Harold Faltermeyer, cinematography by Thomas Del Ruth and stars the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. His co-stars are Yaphet Kotto (Alien), Maria Conchita Alonso (Predator 2) and the legendary Richard Dawson of Family Feud television game show.

The Running Man is based in a dystopian future where the United States has become a totalitarian police state. The government runs the show of the same name. The broadcast is to let criminals run for their lives and be hunted by stalkers. If they win, they earn their freedom. It's a great way to pacify the populace. Arnold plays Ben Richards, a police helicopter pilot who is framed for refusing to fire upon a food riot. After he escapes from prison, he finds himself fighting for his life in The Running Man. He takes on the mercenary stalkers one on one as he works on a plan to seek revenge on Damon Killian.

Whilst The Running Man isn't as good a movie as Total Recall, The Terminator or Predator, it's still a very well crafted and very fun movie to watch. Like most '80s action movies, it doesn't mess around getting to the action. It's one great set piece after another. Lots of violence and one liners, some so good that many of us are still quoting them thirty something years later. Arnold is clearly at his peak physically. He's an absolute beast of a man. He works well with his co-stars, all of which do a good job through out. Richard Dawson as Damon Killian almost steals the show from Arnie. He has many great lines and comes across as one unlikeable *cough*. You can't help but love every scene he is in but you still want him to meet an epic end at the hands of Richards. He is a perfect villain in every way. There's some nice little spots from Jessie Ventura of all people and like Jessie, it's always over the top and has a great witty line. You'll also get a cool cameo from legendary musician Mick Fleetwood as the resistance leader Mic and Dweezil Zappa (son of Frank) of all people. It's a great list of actors and personalities.

If you ask anyone about this film, they won't be able to pick one specific scene as the best. The prison escape, the chase through the airport or Sub Zero's ice skating and Buzzsaw's motorcycle chase. They are all great action scenes. There's also the now legendary battle between governors Schwarzenegger and Ventura. It's great gory fun. Also, a quick shout out to Erland Van Lidth De Jeude, who sadly died just after finishing the movie. God knows, no one can forget the odd image of the electrically charged opera singer turned merc, Dynamo. Each scene with these characters are all on beat, they're all overly energetic, they all have their great one liners and they're so memorable.

I was well surprised by the picture quality that Fabulous Films produced for this movie. I was expecting it to be another easy cash grab like a lot of other Arnold Schwarzenegger bluray releases. But this one looks and sounds very good. The image is nice and crisp. The colours and shadows all look very strong. There's no real issues with the picture in fact. You can see every bulging muscle, every popping vein and every drop of sweat. It's so manly and awesome. The Running Man has been pretty well looked after and I'm glad to see that it has aged better than I had expected. Like a lot of great '80s action movies, this one has proven to be another timeless classic. It makes the leap to high definition with great strides. There's no going back to the old DVDs once you have seen this one. It's not ground breaking but it's exactly why physical media needs to be upgraded every 15 yrs.

As a film, it's well worth picking up and a must buy if Arnold Schwarzenegger is your thing. This is Arnold at his peak, or the start of it. The Running Man has a great cast, great music and so many great scenes that it is so fondly remembered for a reason. You really can't go wrong.
