The Running Man (1987)
from Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast Hosted by Percolated Media
In 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger was well on his way to becoming the biggest action star in the world. Later on in the year, he would be in Predator. But first, he’d star in the Stephen King adaptation The Running Man. Or is it a Richard Bachman adaptation? What’s the difference, and why would the rights to this book be $100,000, surprising the hell out of producer George Linder? We get into all of this, as well as a full review of the Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky?) directed film, in the podcast below. Also, find out what franchise we’ll be attacking next. That is, should we choose to accept it. All this, as well as many puns, when you listen to this week’s Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast!
