The one from ‘87 is exactly what you’d expect from a campy, cheesy, awesome action flick with Arnold in it. Don’t expect a great movie, but expect to have fun watching it.

I saw the trailer for the new one and do want to see it.

Hell yes, Richard Dawson makes the movie.

Do you like the over-the-top action movies of the 80s?

If yes, then 100% you will love it. If this genre is for you, it's an amazing amount of fun.

If not, then give it a pass.

The new one looks good. I like the 30 days and everyone trying to get you angle.
And i like Glen Powel.

Big hill to climb remaking the movie without him. RIP.

The '87 version is an awesome movie that has absolutely nothing in common with the book but the title.

I remember going to see Flowers in the Attic as a 13 year-old and then instead of leaving the theater we went into another movie, which happened to be The Running Man (which I'd never heard of). I thought it was pretty cool.

It'll be interesting to see how this new one compares to the original.

The effects are totally 80s but it's fun action and the underlying message about how fraudulent the media is, is timeless.

Looks more like Nerve or Drop than the original Running Man.

Looks like John Wick 3 basically, but I love me a good fugitive guy movie, plus Edgar Wright, so off I go.

It’s an over the top 80s action movie. It’s full of crazy, outlandish bad guys and cheesy one liners. Yes, it’s absolutely a must watch. It’s awesome.

This is what I hate about it. I like the enclosed area of the original.

I just can't stand that actor. Is that how action heroes are defined nowadays. Give me the 80s action heroes any day over these chocolate boy types.
