Having Mick Fleetwood seemed perfectly fitting to me, not random. He was immediately recognizable, and when he explained his history in the movie it made it seem like a future based on reality, not just a fictional future. Another interesting fact: Dynamo (played by Erland van Lidth) did not originally sing opera. This was added because van Lidth was a trained opera singer. The song he sings is a solo from the 3rd Act of The Marriage of Figaro, where the Count swears revenge against Figaro because he feels tormented that Figaro will have Susanna, who isn't interested in the Count. In its overarching meaning of revenge, it fits the scene in Running Man very well.
The book (short story) is so much better. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the movie at the time. But, in later life having read the story, on my mums recommendation, it is much darker. And much more impactful. A remake, handled well, would or could be excellent. In fact, very surprised Amazon haven’t picked it up… Yet
@@austenpowers Amazon would bastardize it. The only companies that might do a worse job would be Netflix or Disney. Maybe if a small production company tried it, but that wouldn't happen.
My best friend in high school played Electro....Erland van Lidth De Jeude....he was a heavyweight wrestler in the 1984 Olympics. He passed away many years ago....RIP my old friend!
That's fascinating in a "six degrees of separation" kind of way. "The Running Man" has always been one of my all-time favorite movies, along with "Total Recall." I always joke that they are the only movies I ever feel like watching anymore because I'm almost 38 and new movies rarely appeal to me. I like the Stallone and Schwarzenegger flicks I grew up with.
I read the book years ago and it is great! I had it as part of a 4 in 1 called the Backman Novels, which is no longer available since one of the stories was withdrawn and no longer published. I also loved "The Long Walk" which was in the same book.
The line, "There he is, the leading rusher." when FireBall goes out into the Zone is apt, FireBall played by Jim Brown, was a Cleveland Browns player and League Leading Rusher for 62, 63 and 64 seasons.
And Richard Dawson is known to many of us older folk as Newkirk from Hogan's Heroes. Also, among the freedom fighters is Dweezil Zappa, son of rocker Frank Zappa.
great Scwarzenegger Movie - Really Liked Richard Dawson as Killian in it - he was comedic in Hogan's Heroes, at the time he was a friendly game show host on Family Feud, which is why he was cast - but he's a slimy, two- faced p rick here, a great playing against type role
dont forget that dawson was also on the panel on match game for many years, along with charles nelson riley, and bret sommers with gene rayburn as the host. in 1970 dawson hosted the daytime game show "lucky pair", and yes i had to look that up.
@@richardbohm5778 I think "Lucky Pair" was a show that was mainly seen in Los Angeles. In 1975, he briefly hosted his first national show, a revival of the 1950s show "Masquerade Party". It only lasted the one season in weekly syndication.
This should have a million likes. There's something about him that almost made it real when watching him. Like his "re-run" roast to Arnold. Dawson was perfect for that role and made the movie!
one of my fave movies alongside the Space Odyssey :) I wonder would I like The Running Man without Arnold, without his one liners, charisma, without goofy yet sexy Maria Conchita Alonso and entire tv studio reality show atmosphere including irreplaceable slimy Richard Dawson as Killian. Sticking to the book doesnt have to be good for a movie, specially sci fi genre
I love this movie - so much so, I bought the DVD. I also have Predator. Both are amazing films. I enjoy your looks into movies I love, it makes them come even more alive. Thanks, Minty!
When I first heard of this movie, I was surprised to hear about Richard Dawson being in it. He was perfect for the role of Damon Killian, considering Dawson had then fairly recently come off of hosting Family Feud for about a decade. Aside from this film, his most notable acting role was as Corporal Peter Newkirk in the sitcom Hogan's Heroes. You'd never think a show set in a WWII prisoner of war camp could be funny, could you? It obviously worked, as it ran for six seasons.
No way the best line is when Arnold tells Killian he lives to see him eat that contract but to save room for his fist because he's going to ram it down his throat and rip out his spine!
My wife and I love your interesting facts and trivia on so many of our favorite movies. I hope you're having as much fun making these we have watching them!
Minty, I’ve watched several dozen of your “10 things” videos, and this one is definitely the first to make me spew my drink in laughter. The same clip of Arnold used over and over and over did it for me. Lol!
I always loved playing Smash TV in the arcades and Super Smash TV on the Super Nintendo back in the day. It always reminded me of what Running Man would be like if the contestants wanted to play and weren't forced to.
You took my comment! To be fair to Arnie, it would be tough to have that many director changes. But still it's hard to see how the movie wouldn't look like a tv show.
Gus Rethwisch (Buzzsaw) was a powerlifter who competed in ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ contests. So, he could actually lift a motorcycle over his head without too much difficulty, just like Buzzsaw did. Rethwisch also played one of the “Klane brothers” in the movie ‘Twins’ (1988).
Hey, Minty. You forgot to mention that this movie also became the main inspiration for hit arcade game "Smash TV", since they both involve violent game shows in the not-so-distant future. "Big money... Big prizes… I love it!"
“I’ll live to see you eat that contract! But you better leave some room for my fist BECAUSE IM GONNA RAM IT IN YOUR STOMACH AND BREAK YOUR GODDAM SPINE!!”
In my opinion the best quote in the movie wasn't from Ahnold or even one of the main characters.... "You're lucky he didn't kill you too. Or rape you then kill you... or kill you then rape you." And it's the way she says it too. Plus she's hot.
Another great video Minty. I knew of 'The Kissing Man' American host. But didn't realise he played the bad guy in the film. I'm from the UK so wouldn't have really known. Nice one for that.
Hi Minty, great vid as always. Just wanted to mention that one of the ways RM seemed to be the most eerily prescient was with it's brief look at the 'Climbing for Dollars' gameshow, as now in the UK on one of our ITV channels we have a gameshow with a somewhat similar premise called 'Release the Hounds'. When I first saw it, all I could think of was this movie! Does make you wonder what's going to be next, doesn't it?
Ironic - just last night I watched Total Recall, in which Arnold played what was supposed to be a weak, ordinary office cubicle worker. They changed it to a construction worker for the movie to explain why he was so big (did I learn this in a Minty video? Can't *recall*... ). It seems after he achieved superstar status, that once Arnold attached himself to a production he sort of took it over and everything had to be changed to fit around his persona. Script re-writes to add in his trademark one-liners, etc. Also, it sort of works that the movie feels like a TV show, since that's exactly what it was about - a show called Running Man.
Hahahaha, that book cover at 3:44 is such an obvious ripoff of the poster for the original Rollerball starring James Caan. Amazing. I've always seen the movie cover on the book.
Hey Minty! There's one more music connection in the movie. One of the other freedom fighters in the movie was Dweezil Zappa, the son of Frank Zappa. Thought you would like this extra tidbit.
I came to the comments just to complain about "Anything". How dare you say that about "Anything". "Anything" was a huge plot point and you didnt even mention it. I mean how could you NOT talk about "Anything". Great vid as always Mark. Thanks for this.
thebovineavenger i was gonna complain about him lumping everything into 1 group called anything.. I mean geez its called everything for a reason.. How dare you even try to suggest that its now anything.
In the film a can of soda was 6 bucks. It was supposed to be a price so high, that it was 100% unthinkable. In like 2009, I was at a newly opened Cowboys Stadium. There was a vending machine and the price if a 20oz? 6 bucks. Keep in mind that the fountain drink was 6 bucks so I guess the soda had to follow suit. I immediately thought of this film.
Hi Minty, I just found your channel and I am watching the "10 things" series. "The Running Man" is my favorite of Stephen King's Richard Bachman books, and yes there are a ton of differences. One could probably make a thirty minute video discussing them.
Would love to see a remake of Night of the Comet. Yeah, the original is a great classic, but it has a lot of 80s cheesiness, too. I think they could do it justice and not screw it up completely.
Running Man game would be cool in today's age. 1 stalker vs a bunch of other people. Different stages and different tasks the other players need to complete to escape, or possibly try to gang up on overpowered stalker and kill him to win as well.
You left out three things. 1. Jesse Ventura, who played Captain Freedom, was in Predator also. 2. Another musician, Dweezil Zappa appeared in this movie as well. 3. Richard Dawson was a panelist on The Match Game, another game show.
AWESOME!!! loved this movie growing up, hilarious one liners. "I don't do requests" and "Cause Im going to say PLEASE" and "go ahead, won't show on this shirt" "see you at the ten year prison reunion"
Minty, you are awesome!!! I love everything about your videos!!! Great info, and I totally agree with almost every word you say!!! And I really like how you say it!! Your videos a very well made and just soooo much fun to watch and hear your comments!! 80's movies are the best, you and I grew up on them. And because they are awesome!! I own a starsky car and mad max car! My favorite car of all time!! Please keep making your kickass videos!!! Your great !!!!!!
Sadly, "absolute zero" (0 degrees Kelvin, or -273 degrees Celsius) wasn't known outside of the scientific community until an experiment with solidified mercury as an electromagnetic superconductor for elevated trains was made public around 1985.
@kevin nelson One of Christopher Reeve's greatest movies was called Somewhere in Time. We watched it in school and I was amazed how much I liked the film. Also written by Richard Matheson who did I am Legend.
13:45 Running Man did look more like a tv show than a movie by the way it was shot kinda like a high budget episode of the Outer Limits. I'm sure this hurt it's box office numbers quite a bit.
Best line in the film " Here is Sub Zero. Now just plain zero." I feel bad for Australians- they arent aware of all the US TV like " Hogans Heroes" with Richard Dawson and many great shows.
@@ramonantoniobennett-ryuuke6301 I doubt very much that Mike Hagar is based on Don Frye or Dan Severn, considering the first Final Fight came out in 1989... Still, he could be based in part on Ventura... I'd go with that.
Minty, this was your funniest video to date! Not only do you finally lose it and go off on the haters, but then you go and mimic Chewbacca pretending to play Schwartzeneggar. Priceless! PS. Y'all in the rest of the world missed out by not getting Family Feud. Richard Dawson was the sleaziest game show host that's ever been, and he was fantastic!
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday...two days ago...I've watched it 3 times in the last 48 Hours. I think it's now my favorite Arnold movie or at least a close second behind Conan the Barbarian. Naturally I had to check to see if you'd done a video on it, you did not disappoint.
I've heard people say it's set in 2019, but where is that actually stated? I watched it recently and noticed it starts in 2017, then it mentions IIRC "18 months later" or something, but at that rate it could have been 2018. Did I miss something? EDIT: Nvm, I got to the part with the poster...

“Killian...I’ll be back.”
“Only in a rerun.”
One of the best lines of the movie IMO.
Drew Renaldo
Yep! ...and a can of soda is $6.00.
The whole move is one of the best lines! LOL
mc finn this is without a doubt the best line in the movie!
“You bastard! Drop dead!!” - Killian
“I don’t do requests.” - Ben Richards 🤣😎👍🏽
It's funny how Arnold worked that into all those movies, even better when somebody one-ups it.
Thing I like about this channel - nostalga
Thing I hate about this channel - being reminded how damned old I am, lol.
I hear ya! 👂👵
Haha it's funny how often those two things coincide 🤣
Ya that was one of the best lines ever in the 80s movie s God I miss the 80s
Thing I don't like about this channel, the fucking host.
Same here. Now excuse me while I go chase some kids......OFF MY DAMN LAWN!!!!!!!

So Mick Fleetwood was basically Killroy.
He totally ignored another musician, Dweezil Zappa on the left of Mic
The book (short story) is so much better.

Me too!
It’s actually called The Bachman Books….
#11: Along with Predator, The Running Man featured two future governors, Arnold and Jesse Ventura.
Ventura was also in "Batman & Robin"...
Carl Weathers also briefly considered taking a stab at politics, but never ran for office.
I said the same thing for " Predator"
The line, "There he is, the leading rusher." when FireBall goes out into the Zone is apt, FireBall played by Jim Brown, was a Cleveland Browns player and League Leading Rusher for 62, 63 and 64 seasons.
Leading rusher for those 3 seasons is an understatement. He is considered one of, if not the greatest, NFL players ever.
"Don't forget to send me a copy" Another funny line from that movie
And Richard Dawson is known to many of us older folk as Newkirk from Hogan's Heroes. Also, among the freedom fighters is Dweezil Zappa, son of rocker Frank Zappa.
"Who loves you, and who do you love?!"
I met Dweezil a few months back. Cool dude, just like his Pops.

You left out three things. 1. Jesse Ventura, who played Captain Freedom, was in Predator also. 2. Another musician, Dweezil Zappa appeared in this movie as well. 3. Richard Dawson was a panelist on The Match Game, another game show.
i aint got time to bleed!
4 things then, because Sven-Ole Thorsen was also in Predator (and many other of Arnold's movies)
AWESOME!!! loved this movie growing up, hilarious one liners. "I don't do requests" and "Cause Im going to say PLEASE" and "go ahead, won't show on this shirt" "see you at the ten year prison reunion"
Minty, you are awesome!!! I love everything about your videos!!! Great info, and I totally agree with almost every word you say!!! And I really like how you say it!! Your videos a very well made and just soooo much fun to watch and hear your comments!! 80's movies are the best, you and I grew up on them. And because they are awesome!! I own a starsky car and mad max car! My favorite car of all time!! Please keep making your kickass videos!!! Your great !!!!!!
Dawson was also on "Hogan's heroes".
Newkirk
"I served in a fictitious military,"
He was actually from the UK
I know Nothing Nothing
Richard Dawson was a notorious skirt chaser...along with the guy who played Hogan on Hogan's Heroes.
He should have said "Now, Absolute Zero!" Much better.
Sadly, "absolute zero" (0 degrees Kelvin, or -273 degrees Celsius) wasn't known outside of the scientific community until an experiment with solidified mercury as an electromagnetic superconductor for elevated trains was made public around 1985.
Jesus...
Dude, Superman as “The Running Man”, I can dig that, it’d be badass!
@kevin nelson One of Christopher Reeve's greatest movies was called Somewhere in Time. We watched it in school and I was amazed how much I liked the film. Also written by Richard Matheson who did I am Legend.
13:45 Running Man did look more like a tv show than a movie by the way it was shot kinda like a high budget episode of the Outer Limits. I'm sure this hurt it's box office numbers quite a bit.
Best line in the film " Here is Sub Zero. Now just plain zero." I feel bad for Australians- they arent aware of all the US TV like " Hogans Heroes" with Richard Dawson and many great shows.
Your vids are great dude just great!
Minty I want you to know I Enjoy your Video's Very Much 😀
This was an amazing movie and probably the closest you could get to a John Carpenter movie without being directed by John Carpenter himself.
I guess Mick finally realized "Players only love you when they're playing". LOL =)
One of my favorites growing up and still a classic. Didn't know about the book, I will have to check it out.
Also compare Running man to the German movie "Das Millionenspiel" made in 1970. You will find a lot of similarities.
Ventura always reminded me as a live-action Ike Hagger in this movie.
he looks so funny in this film XDDDD
You mean Mike Haggard as yeah, Haggard is based on Venture, MMA fighters Don Frye and Dan Severn.
Coincidentally, Don Frye started as Haggard in a fan made Final Fight film, BROKEN GEAR. You can what it on RUclips.
@@ramonantoniobennett-ryuuke6301 I doubt very much that Mike Hagar is based on Don Frye or Dan Severn, considering the first Final Fight came out in 1989...
Still, he could be based in part on Ventura... I'd go with that.
That cool 1980's video game font. So nostalgic.,
Minty, this was your funniest video to date! Not only do you finally lose it and go off on the haters, but then you go and mimic Chewbacca pretending to play Schwartzeneggar. Priceless!
PS. Y'all in the rest of the world missed out by not getting Family Feud. Richard Dawson was the sleaziest game show host that's ever been, and he was fantastic!
one of the great movies of Arnie. Love your outro music by the way.
Oh dear god!!! I cant believe he made superman 4 over running man.
Reeves made a ton of money in Superman 4
If they re-release this movie with more of the book shown, it would be great!
I’d love to see a breakdown of No Retreat No Surrender. One of my favorites from the 80s
🤘
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday...two days ago...I've watched it 3 times in the last 48 Hours. I think it's now my favorite Arnold movie or at least a close second behind Conan the Barbarian. Naturally I had to check to see if you'd done a video on it, you did not disappoint.
Amazing Arnie impression at the end, Minty 😊👍
Can we get a 10 things we didn’t know about the remake of night of the living dead 1990? Tom savini directed it, and tony Todd is awesome in it
Yes, Minty, please make this happen!! 😀😃
Hint- wear glasses that fit - Elton John called-- he wants his glasses back
Whos watching Running Man in 2019 which takes place in a totalitarian 2019?
Ambar Martinez good thing Coke's aren't $6
I've heard people say it's set in 2019, but where is that actually stated? I watched it recently and noticed it starts in 2017, then it mentions IIRC "18 months later" or something, but at that rate it could have been 2018. Did I miss something?
EDIT: Nvm, I got to the part with the poster...
But seriously, that cameo is awesome. =)
This is one of my all time fave movies. Can watch again and again! Gimme that Dark Synth Dystopian aesthetic all day every day!
