I did a blind-buy on The Running Man: SE at Best Buy on the day it came out, mainly because I liked the artwork and I'm a Schwarzenegger fan, so I figured I'd enjoy this action film that I have yet to see. It's still unopened, because I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I hear the audio/video is very good, but after reading this, something tells me the extras pretty much suck. Luckily, I'm a picture/sound "Superbit" kinda guy, and I rarely if ever watch a DVD's special features like documentaries or commentaries. So, is this disc worth keeping for the improved picture/sound, not to mention low price tag? Keep in mind I haven't seen the movie, but I like Arnold's action flicks.

What's interesting is several video stores I go to (Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, mom & pops, etc.) do not carry any version of The Running Man. However, they do have most other Arnold catalog titles.

FWIW, both commentary tracks are very interesting and informative. So it's not like all of the extras suck.

Guys, as you know, this is completely not the place for a political discussion.

Splitting off political comments and sending to Other Forum.

Next time... someone please RTPTAM before we get to off-topic post #16... thanks.

2 things:

1. I work at Hollywood Video, and we do carry The Running Man...so maybe it's just the particular store that you go to.

2. Well, at least the commentary is good, even though I probably won't listen to them.

The extras definitely are scarce, but I'm glad to finally have a decent version of the movie.

Yea , i just got it for the picture/sound that has been vastly increased from the earlier release. The extras are a little sparse and not too interesting but really not something that is something you will buy it for.

The commentary is ok (watched a little bit with it) but really it is for the new video, DTS track, and the nice low price that made it a purchase for me.
