The Running Man	comment	The Running Man is a 1987 Dystopian sci-fi action film directed by Paul Michael Glaser. It is a very loose adaptation of the novel of the same name by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King). It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown, Dweezil Zappa, Jesse Ventura, and Rodger Bumpass in a cameo role as Phil Hilton.In dystopian 2010s America, police officer Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) is framed for firing at innocent civilians and sent to a labor camp. He escapes, but is captured again, and ends up as a contestant in the nation's number one television show: The Running Man, a Deadly Game hosted by the gleefully sadistic Damon Killian. In the show, Ben and his fellow "contestants" must fight their way through the Stalkers, killers set to stop their advance, to win their freedom.Not to be confused with the 1963 British crime drama directed by Carol Reed, the similarly-titled but vastly different (apart from the dystopian setting) 1976 film Logan's Run, or the South Korean variety showâ€”although another popular Korean series has now come out with a similar Deadly Game premise.In 2021, a remake was announced, to be directed by Edgar Wright.

He's willing to help Laughlin and Weiss because they're his friends and he owes them, but he's not really interested in the cause itself and would rather "look for the door." And while he does join up with the resistance in the end, it's more to get revenge on Killian and justice for their deaths over making a statement, something he admits to the revolutionaries when they ask why he's willing to help them when he could just escape.

Listening to the studio announcer telling people in the audience what they can win during the sequence in which Amber goes rifling through the network's files for the raw footage of Ben's last mission raises some... intriguing questions about what kind of society this is. (See the Headscratchers section for details on that.) While Killian is talking to the control room staff after faking Ben and Amber's deaths, the credits for the Running Man can be seen nearby, resulting in a truly spectacular Credits Gag.

The Running Man / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion Just before he's launched into the Zone, Richards promises that "I'll be back." To say nothing of Richard Dawson's role as a game show host. Sub Zero is introduced as "Professor Sub Zero", a nod to the ring name of his actor, former pro wrestler "Professor" Toru Tanaka. Killian refers to Fireball as the "number one rusher"; Jim Brown, who played Fireball, was the running back for the Cleveland Browns, and once held the record for the most career rushing yards. Fireball also yells "Win one for the Zero", a play on the famous Knute Rockne quote, "Win one for the Gipper." In the final confrontation, Richards wields a HK94 carbine with a distinctive foregrip and barrel shroud, just like the one Arnold previously used in Raw Deal (1986). When Richards first meets Mic, he points out that Ben is a cop and that, "...people like you burned my music." Mic is played by musician Mick Fleetwood. Maria Conchita Alonso - who plays Amber Mendez - had a singing career as Ã�mbar. Additionally, Amber Mendez is also a musician for the network.

This naturally makes him bitter, leading him to only look out for himself and his own survival for most of the film. His experiences on The Running Man and his increasing bond with Amber and the other resistance members he's stuck with gradually reawakens his idealism and sense of justice, until by the very end he's practically leading the resistance.

However since Richards is captured we never actually learn why he wanted to go there specifically, largely because he was smart enough not to to tell Amber his next move. It may be also Shout-Out to Robert A. Heinlein's If This Goes Onâ€”, wherein someone pretends to be trying to escape to Hawaii, which is a separate country, as part of a plan to make his pursuers think he's dead. Hawaii being a separate country within the setting means the movie could well be playing this trope straight.

Keeping the unedited footage around was pretty dumb, too, allowing Ben Richards to be effectively acquitted on live television, and whatever legalese is in his contract likely meant everyone he killed prior to leaving the studio can't be prosecuted.

The Running Man / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Downplayed for humor with the "Court-Appointed Theatrical Agent." While escorting Richards - who, for all he knows, is a mass-murdering psychopath with nothing to lose at this point - the Agent requires Richards to sign a contract (and rights waiver). As Richards fumbles to sign the contract in mid-air, the agent tells Richards to use his back as a desk and calls him "victim". Richards signs, and promptly pins the contract to the guy's back with the pen. Handing a murderous lunatic a sharp object, turning your back on him, and outright telling him to point it at the back of your ribcage while insulting him is definitely a faulty survival instinct, and it's only Richards' decidedly non-psychopathic nature that saves the agent from playing this trope straight.

The Running Man / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: The Movie. Let us count the ways... The Jerkass tendencies of Killian and ICS unnecessarily send Laughlin, Weiss, and Amber into the Zone with him; all prove instrumental in ensuring the downfall of Killian and ICS. Each Stalker is killed with his own weapon; Sub Zero severs the barbed wire fence with his bladed hockey stick, and then ice-skates directly into the barbed wire garotte laid out by Richards. Buzzsaw is cleft in twain by his own chainsaw. Dynamo first crashes his own buggy chasing down Ben and Amber... ...and later on his own suit ends up electrocuting him. Fireball's flamethrower fuel supply explodes (with a little help from Richards), killing him. The ICS network scupper themselves by; Convincing Amber that they're lying when they mention the non-existent bloodbath at the airport, because Amber was a surviving witness. Not deleting or properly securing the footage of Ben Richards trying to save the victims of the Bakersfield Massacre, because of the fact it proves his entire criminal record is in doubt. Faking Richards' and Amber's deaths on live TV, so that when they emerge onstage very much alive minutes later, the entire audience is convinced that ICS are lying to them. Killian himself is doomed by being deserted by his mistreated bodyguard and then being launched into the Zone, as he had done to so many before. In a more minor example, Richards stabs his Jerkass "court-appointed theatrical agent" with his own pen.

The Running Man / int_e409de66	comment	Manipulative Editing: The camera footage of Richards refusing to shoot unarmed civilians is altered to make it look like he fired on them against orders. Pretty much everything Killian doesn't want the public to see is edited when it's not live. Fabricated footage through digital recreation (a few years before Real Life CGI allowed this) is commonplace, like Richards killing people at the airport, last season's winners enjoying life in Hawaii or Richards' and Amber's "death" against Captain Freedom.

He's still at large." Later, Damon mentions that he "pulled a few strings" to get Richards brought to him instead of back to prison; evidently he exploited this loophole to the fullest.

He's the movie's Non-Action Big Bad, and upon seeing the footage of Richards escaping from prison, he really admires his appearance in a manner that borders on Eating the Eye Candy, commenting "Hello, gorgeous!" and asking "Look at that mother move, huh? Is he beautiful?", on top of addressing to him as "Cutie Pie" when they meet in person.

The Running Man / int_eaf5a1ac	comment	Groin Attack Richards grabs a guard in the smelting prison by the groin to incapacitate him. The man's body shoots up, he groans and you can see Richards' hand still gripping his crotch area as he hoists the poor bastard over his head and throws him over the railing. Amber punches Richards in the groin before escaping from him in the airport. Richards kicks Buzzsaw in the crotch during their fight, but to little effect. The most notorious and iconic example would be how Richards disposes of Buzzsaw with his own chainsaw. Buzzsaw even goes soprano with his death scream. When Richards throws the flare at Fireball before he explodes, the flare is pointed directly at the spread legged Fireball's crotch. Amber punches Dynamo in the dick during his Attempted Rape of her in the network building.

The Running Man / int_eb04f8d5	comment	Fascist, but Inefficient: The totalitarian society's enforcers are distracted by their own Bread and Circuses. We hear the guards making small talk about how they never miss an episode of the Running Man, Amber Mendez excuses her purchases of black market clothing (when Richards discovers it) by saying "C'mon, everyone does it!" and the unedited footage may well have been retained through sheer laziness, i.e. the TV station's bureaucrats never throw anything away.

The unnamed, uncredited ones actually have a higher survival rate than the Mauve Shirt characters. In the final scenes, Mic and his armed rebels flawlessly take over the broadcast booth and expose the government's lies with almost no trouble.

( It's a "computer generated" scene, broadcast by Killian to pacify the audience and end the episode after Richards escapes, and Freedom refuses to fight in a hokey, aluminum power armor suit.) Also, any fight between Arnold and the other stalkers.

Imprisoned and with his name sullied, he went on the run but was eventually caught. He became a contestant for The Running Man gameshow, where he fought for his own life before getting rescued by the rebels. Joining up with them, he stormed the gameshow to hunt down Killian, the Big Bad. With Amber's help, the public finally knew Richards was framed by the state media, and gave their final, biggest cheer of approval when Richards executed Killian and walked off victoriously with Amber by his side.
