The Running Man

Ok so I was flipping channels earlier and noticed that The Running Man was on. I used to LOVE this movie when I was around 6 or 7 years old. Mostly because it was a Schwarzenegger flick and I was all about watching Arnie's movies (tell me you don't like Twins) back in the day. But I never really noticed that the cast in this movie had as many big name people as it did. Richard Dawson, Mick Fleetwood, Jim Brown, Jessie Ventura, Dweezil Zappa, and the list goes on!! The concept of this movie is awesome to me, just the fact that society created this gameshow. But I want to know what you all think about this movie...or late 80's movies in general, hell just movies or Schwarzenegger...or even midgets.

Oddly enough, this movie alluded me. I never actually saw the whole thing. I watched Commando 2,000 times and Terminator 2 3,000 times, I never got around to watching The Running Man.

I'll have to put that on my list.

Can't forget Kurt Fuller who has been in everything from Wayne's World to Desperate Housewives. The guy has had a better career than Arnold himself.

Arnold movies are brilliant. Almost everyone of them is a completely new idea. Have you ever seen the movie Junior? Arnold gets pregnant! Brilliant!

Yes how could I have forgotten Kurt Fuller. That guy has been in alot of movies. For some reason I was thinking he was in Short Circuit, but I don't think he was now that I've thought about it more.

You guys knew that guy's name?

Hey I think he's a pretty respectable actor. He's played the douche bag character to a T in so many films.

Agreed. This guy is awesome. However, I'm still baffled how you guys knew his name.

I think with him, I saw him in so many movies that I was just like "who is this guy? He's in everything!" So I looked him up one day just so I would know who he was.

Well that makes sense.

I thought maybe I didn't get the memo or something.
