I wish I have know earlier.

I hate double dipping.

Too many DVDs. Guess I'll keep my old one.

I guess I'll pick this one up if it's cheap enough. I hope the DTS track is at least decent. A lot of Artisans DTS tracks are pretty crappy.

Screw, T2, this is Arnold's greatest movie. The dialogue is the funniest thing I have ever heard:

Damon Killian: You bastard! Drop dead!
Ben Richards: I don't do requests.

Ben Richards: Killian, here's your Subzero, now plain zero.

Ben Richards: Uplink underground, uplink underground. If you say that one more time, I'll uplink your uplink your ass, and you'll be underground!

Amber: [after Richards cut Buzzsaw in half with a chain saw] What happened to Buzzsaw?
Ben Richards: He had to split.

Ben Richards: [after strangling Sub-Zero with barbed wire)] What a pain in the neck.

Has any one else read the short story that the movie was based on, the Stephen King short story was also called "The Running Man".

When I first heard they were making movie out of the story I was fired up, but the movie has very little in it that is like the book.

This justifies years of DVD collecting & agonizing. This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies. And I've constantly resisted buying it b/c of the crappy DVD.

SWEET! This is one of my favorite old school movies and I never picked up the original!

Thanks for the news!

Are we sure this is the feature film, and not a documentary on his political aspirations?

I think "Running Man" was one of the stories he released under the Bachman name. I believe he actually sued to have his name removed from this because it had little to do with the story, much like the Lawnmower Man.

You are 100% correct.

The book was much better. Everytime I see the movie on TV, I always think, "If they only made it like the book...".

Amber: Why should I help you!
Ben: Because I am going to say pleeeaseee.

Amber: I am going to throw up all over you!
Ben: Go ahead won't show up on this shirt.

Ben: You must be very proud of yourself.

OMG soooo many classic Awnold lines in this movie. This post totally just made my day. I was kinda peeved we were not going to see Conan 3 due to Arnold's political run.

But The Running Man SE! Ahh that hit the spot.

Nope, King Conan is out. Turns out he wasn't eligible because he wasn't actually born in Cimmeria, so they're making Governor Conan instead.

<rim shot>

Thanks folks! I got a million of 'em!
