THE RUNNING MAN: 5.0 OUT OF 5 STARS


Well I hope you've left enough room for Arnold's fist because he's going to ram you with it!,
October 28, 2007

Running Man, staring Arnold The Great, is set in 2017. So, basically this means that we're only 10 years away from a totalitarian society that censors everything and makes the only option on tv a wierd game show that pits gladiators against each other in hopes of creating a fair justice system. Now, hopefully by 2017 Arnold will be able to forge documents proving he was born in the U.S. so he can be president and save us from this terrible fate. Because even criminals may not deserve to be sent to Jessie "The Body" Ventura in lieu of the electric chair.

Of course, in Running Man Arnold is wrongly accused and Richard Dawson forces him to fight in this sick game show. As we all know, the role of game show host is one of only two roles Dawson can play. The other? Perennial to catch a predator all-star. Now, let's get to the concept of the future in this movie. Apparently in 10 years, we will all be reverting back to 80's hair and wearing costumes that look like we strapped a lite-brite to our chest. For the dress alone, this movie is a classic. But what put Sid the Elf over the top on this one, you ask? No, not Arnold in a spandex singlet, but the surprising number of quality soundboard lines. This flick provides a great abundance of what makes Arnold the Great...great. His hilarious speech patterns!

So, if you love Arnold as much as Sid does, watch Running Man. He kicks butt all over the place and is hillarious as usual. That's why Arnold is on his way to the all-time record of movies with the Sid the Elf seal of Approval.
