Far from a cinematic masterpiece, but I find this to be Arnold's most entertaining movie, and any chance I get I like to watch this one.

Also peak Arnold one liners throughout the movie: "What happened to Buzz Saw... he had to split"

Arnold went to the Jim Carrey school of overacting.

He did but i doubt that is actually him. His overacting fits the movies. I don't want to hear Michael Caine say "Get to tha' choppa'!"

I prefer predator or commando, but yes, this is a fun movie.

I meant The Running Man. Dawson totally made that movie. Just had to play himself.

"Sub-Zero... now PLAIN zero!"

Running Man may be the ultimate "so bad it's good" movie.

It's fun but it's barely a top 10 Arnold movie.

Richard Dawson was the fricking man in that movie and in real life. It’s one of my all-time favourite performances, and it’s totally underrated. The best thing is that he was just playing a slightly exaggerated, a-hole version of himself. It’s also his final role because he gave a perfect performance. The man went out on top.

I met a Maria Conchita Alonzo a few months ago and have been meaning to go back and watch this. BTW she looks pretty good for 60 something.

I really hate this movie because The Running Man is one of my favorite Stephen King books. Can't wait for the remake to come out.

As a teen I remember going to the theater to watch a movie (maybe Coming to America) and then sneaking into this after. I had no clue what it was but I remember thinking, “This is awesome!” From what I remember, its release wasn’t heavily promoted like most Arnold movies were.

It's a classic Arnold movie just for the sheer amount of great one liners in it.
