When I was a kid, my Dad had a copy of “Convoy” on 8-track in our gigantic metallic-green Plymouth station wagon. It was in a shoebox in the back seat, along with the 8-track of Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler”, some Fleetwood Mac, and Chuck Mangione’s “Friends And Lovers”, because we didn’t have a tape deck yet. In other words, I’m old.

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

That sounds like my dad also. Lol granted it was that or disco and dad wasn’t gonna be listening to no disco. Yup us gen xers are old now. 🙁

[@Not-TheOne]

The movies poster artwork is like all games from the 80's. The covers made it look so good, but when you loaded it, it was a bunch of blocky art with beep beep sound.

[@Kenjitsuka]

Gold Painted Wood?! That's the true treasure of the Post Apocalypse!!!

[@XeCuTioNR]

Thank you for putting the Homer Convoy song in the review. That's the quality of entertainment I expect from you, Cecil.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I aim to please!

[@FailedBard]

I hadn't realized I'd seen this movie until you got to the part about the town of blind monks. I remember enjoying it when I saw it as a teen, but then again I've always rated movies by how enjoyable they are rather than how well made they are.

[@PictureProductStudio]

As someone who loves The Running Man: it's apparently a hodge podge of a ton of movies with the novel bits (and I happen to love the novel, too) being like three to five pages used overall. Apart from Endgame there are at times shot-for-shot similarities with Das Millionenspiel (1970) and Le prix du danger (1983) (plus some inspiration from Rollerball (1975), Stalker (1979) and La vita è bella (1979). I would still argue that The Running Man easily exceeds all the primary inspirations (those before the brackets, that is) with the same basic plot. It has a unique combo of style, substance and inspiration behind it that just always clicked with me and I'm not in a minority here, since the movie became a cult classic. That said, I've never heard about Endgame before and it does, indeed, look like D'Amato's best film from that episode and an overall interesting twist on a deathmatch TV show idea. Really intrigued. Also The Running Man, Blade Runner and Akira all take place in 2019 and predicted bits and pieces of that year freaking perfectly with the former featuring what is essentially deepfake and digital editing software.

[@travisshallenberger9486]

I can't get enough of these low budget 80's post apocalypse movies! Find a some run-down places and some leather clothes and you're halfway done. As cheesy as these 80's PA movies are, it's hard to find low budget movies these days with the appeal these had. 10 million is a low budget flick. It has some cheap CG and all this other crap, but those old flicks had all practical stuff. Explosions, air ramps, hastily assembled vehicles and costumes... Just awesome!

6:45 never heard quits being used like that before either lol. Interestingly, we do use that term in Portugal when saying "we're even": "estamos quites". The more you know lol. Great review, man!

[@thomaslanghorst5738]

I thought the script might have been translated by a German, because in German "jetzt sind wir quitt" means "now we are even" too

[@AkujinGG]

@@thomaslanghorst5738That's pretty cool. Though quits does mean "even" in english, its popular use seems to be: "let's call it quits" afaik.

Its funny. Some of the parts at the beggining of the film, like the girl hidding out from the supremacist authority forces, the guy preparing his boots, leather pants and make up to go out while watching the old TV, the dark tone,etc....reminds me a lot to the beggining of V for Vendetta

Another funny ass video Cecil I look forward to see you do a episode of ''Exploring The Running Man'' somtime in the future? Especially since this year it turns 35.

@@GoodBadFlicks Hopefully you will mention King's book 'The Long Walk', which was King's first written novel and a precursor to 'Running Man' and all the Battle Royal/Hunger Games that followed.

[@actionvestadventure]

I remember this one. One of the many movies i rented as a kid on VHS when browsing the local rental store. Don't think i've watched it since but always remember bits a pieces... the kid levitating the box car and landing it on one of the SS's head. Crunch. I think this was also the movie with the dude stuck in cement? Maybe not, feels like a scene you'd have showcased. The hero twisted his head to mercy kill him. Anyways... fun stuff.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Yeah, this is the one with the guy stuck in cement. I'm not sure why I didn't show that.

This movie is full of hidden gaffs and so bad it's good stuff. I am definitely going to check this review out and see if you caught some of them!

[@eduardopena5893]

And boom! One of the main ones is: "Ninja, you stay here." There are still some elements you miss which I can't really bring up without spoiling some major parts of the movie for people that haven't seen it yet. There is a reason why Shannon doesn't go to rescue Lillith right away.

[@fatkart7641]

The Running Man novel was a mix between GTA and Crank. A poor guy has no other choice but to register to a death chase throughout the city. He must survive 24 hours. Every person he kills earns him 100,000$ bonus, and twice as much if he kill a cop. Every crime is allowed and will be forgiven if he survives. So in that regard, I think Endgame is much closer to The Running Man novel than the Running Man movie!

Originally Richard Bachman was the pen name for King when he wrote Running man. Thinner was a better adaptation of a Bachman novel when compared to Running Man. But I believe the killing gameshow idea was original to King. Great review!! Maybe do a video on Surviving the Game? Similar feel to The Running Man? Maybe better yet a retrospective on Rudger Hower? So many great movies he did!!! Split Second? Lady hawk? Blind Fury? Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys? Oh, wait..... Wait.... This comment took a turn out to left feild

[@WilAdams]

I see a lot of these films you review have so-called 'strong' female leads, but in fact there is a far better example of an early strong female. Thora, the mission commander in the film Mission Stardust is a feminine, sexy, but no-nonsense commander of a group of aliens stranded on the moon when a meteor hit the repair robot section of their ship. She is looking for a way to repair her ship so that she and her chief scientist can continue their mission. Enter American astronaut Maj. Perry Rhodan. Strong White Alpha Male who sees, and admires Thora's dedication to her mission, and her strength of character. Most importantly, Thora recognizes that she need help and in Perry she finds a man she can respect and see as a suitable mate.

This movie sounds hilarious, must watch it. On a side note - why do Directors run under pseudonyms?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

It depends. In the case of some Italian exploitation directors, they used pseudonyms for a name that sounded more "American" because they were afraid audiences wouldn't go see the film from a foreign director. Another reason is often because they are in the union and are doing a non-union movie.

[@bl687]
