I know some wiseacre out there is going to say "The Running Man is sci-fi not horror" but it was written by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman) and features a guy getting a chainsaw to the groin so that's horror enough for me.
I didn't have any great desire to own The Running Man in DVD but I recently decided to buy every Stephen King movie I could find as part of the DeepDiscountDVD/DVDPlanet supersales so I went ahead and ordered it.
I haven't watched this in years. Actually, the last time I watched it I didn't realize Arnold was a bad actor so that shows I was but a wee lad. Despite some terrible puns, the movie still manages to entertain. Plus, Jesse "The Body" Ventura is in it and he has hard. How can you pass that up?
I remember the novella by King/Bachman as being quite different. And better. But then again, I haven't read it in years either so maybe it sucks.
