The Running Man (1987) SE05;EP24

We dangerously test the patience of our audience by reviewing yet another Arnold movie.  This week it's 87's The Running Man, just in time for its unasked for remake in theaters. Arnold was bigger than most movies during this time and it appears that no one ever bothered to tell him that he could actually say "no" in some instances. That said, this is a glorious, check-your-brain-at-the-door example of 1987 film standards.  Amazing deaths, callous one-liners, and a cast that would make a Marine blush.  Speaking of re-makes, stick around till the end where we criticize a millennial-derived list of remakes that are "better" than the original. We have opinions, nearly all of them unjustified.
