    The running man is a weird movie huh, it’s your average western action flick with your typical free thinking badass™ protagonist but it is annoyingly political, which is why i think it flopped commercially lol, covers themes like media manipulation, police worship, opulence and ultimately sends a eat the rich message, unfortunately it’s cringy because it’s anarchist.

      I only know Running Man from Epic Rap Battles of History on YouTube.

      Damn…

      Sorry, I just realised that Edgar Allan Poe vs. Stephen King on ERB is essentially creep vs. creep.

      …Creepy! Truly one for the horror aficionados!

      saw that movie. dialogue is cringe for sure. the movie writer is politically anarchist. other than that it’s just ok.

        Makes sense, at some point in the movie they a resistance guy wants to record him saying something and his backgroud preferences were a che guevara and an anarchist flag lmao.

      I tried to watch the remake but it was just really cringe dialogue and acting. and using a baby as a emotional hook just puts me off.
