The music makes me emotional.....my childhood Has gone and i am old now...

[@dennisthehirev580]

The music is neither happy nor sad. It's calming, comforting and reflective. Simply beautiful.

[@219garry]

Richard Dawson made a good BAD guy. I loved it when Arnold said I'll be back and Dawson replied "Only in a Rerun" classic!

[@neilferrier825]

Gee purrs agree. Always loved that line. What I didn’t know until recently was that Richard Dawson was an actual game show host at the time.

[@RangaTurk]

I still think "Now that's entertainment!" is a better punch line at the end for Arnold Schwarznegger instead of "That hit the spot!" when Damon Killian goes through the billboard because it would be a fitting end to a sadistic game show host.

[@alanguages]

Richard Dawson was actually a host for Family Feud. The funny thing was there seemed to be a lot of complaints about him from women watching him on tv. He would literally kiss the same woman/ women multiple times in one episode.

[@DannyBGer]

Dawson was well known from "Hogan's heroes".

[@BradRains]

@@DannyBGer Hogan's Heroes was a great show. The Sundance Channel shows episodes on Saturdays and Mondays.

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Great movies back in the 80s headed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@richs8491]

Think they were headed by Michael j fox aswell

[@jakobkell7212]

It's not a tumor...it's how I tawk !!!!

[@rafaelberga9330]

[@colew.5956]

AHHH the days when you’d go to The Local Video store and it’d be FILLED with GREAT movies like these❤️ Those days ARE LOOOONNNGGGGH GONE 😢 Thanks for the Video 🙏 Well done👏👏👏

[@cupofcustard]

Yep, Friday night meant a trip down to blockbuster. Was essential if it was a Bank Holiday weekend or the start of the summer holidays

[@AchtungBaby77]

Visiting the local video store on a Friday or Saturday night was such a classic family outing in the 80s and 90s. It wasn't just about hiring a movie, there was also the social element where you'd see friends from your neighborhood and have a chat as well. Nowadays, everyone stays home streaming everything and staring at their phone. It really is insane to think about how much life has changed.

[@Warribo]

Erland Van Lidth had such a great voice, his singing in the film Stir Crazy is very moving... heartbreaking how young he died 😥

[@zombeat7376]

Actually it wasn't him singing in stir crazy. He was a great singer but he had larengitis at the time and he was gutted that someone else has to sing it in stir crazy.

[@zombeat7376]

You will find that info online somewhere but that wasn't his voice.

[@zombeat7376]

P.s I am sure I originally read about this somewhere on imdb. A few years ago...

[@1rhpsfan]

@@zombeat7376 imdb. "What you do instead of things."

[@bigwavesurferr]

Jesse Ventura was part of the Navy seals under water demolition team for a short period of time during the Vietnam era , he never saw combat but still an awesome achievement.

[@AllanMogensen]

And pro wrestler as Jessie " The Body" Ventura before getting into politics.

[@DannyBGer]

Ventura even acted in "Predator" with Arnie.

[@anonemous1046]

Don't squander your youth, folks. All these actors are immortalized in film. If you're an actor, good for you! If not, make your stamp on society. Your youth will pass quickly.

[@u.ppredatorx2394]

The 80s to the mid 90s had so many great movies. Going to the drive in or theater or going to the video rentals was the best. Who would've guess things would turn out to be like it is today. Now all that is left is the wishing to go back and do it all over again

[@yankees29]

It’s so crazy I can’t watch any new movies. The 80’s and 90’s were a golden era and we didn’t realize it until now.

[@holdenmcgroin9774]

I would see so many good movies in 1987. Wall Street Beverly Hills Cop 2 Predator Untouchables Robocop Running Man Stakeout Dirty Dancing Living Daylights Lethal Weapon Fatal Attraction The Secret of My Success Today I would be lucky if I saw one good movie at the theaters. I miss being young and having fun.

[@PindarMOD]

Enjoy watching these videos. Strange how time slips away so fast.

[@tullochmacdonald4245]

Way to fast.

@P Nis SHUT UP YOU FUCKIN WANK

[@SpideyVids]

@P Nis Why does there always to be at least one Lefty twat with his head rammed firmly up his sphincter?! Just wait until you get a bit older, you'll be amazed how quickly time passes.

[@kevinpatrick8788]

what a great cast in this too. arnold , jim brown , jesse ventura , richard dawson , yaphet kotto. mick fleetwood , sven ole thorson, maria conchita alonso

[@dennisthehirev580]

Dey Young, just as gorgeous at 31 and at 64. Wow!

[@kabal28]

"Here is sub-zero. Now, plain-zero." So many one liners lol

[@djp6191]

Hilarious 🤣🤣

[@trg3761]

I think i will remember this haunting sound track as i lie on my death bed

[@AndyWardle]

Fun fact. First time Arnie said “I’ll be back” was in this movie. 👍

[@mikeg.3688]

It was Terminator.

[@AndyWardle]

@@mikeg.3688 it was.

[@charlesbaldo]

when I was 20 I went to discos. I had a white suit. people thought I was John Travolta with my flowing Italian long locks, chicks dug me. Now at 63 I shave my head because it’s all white and not much. The other day I saw a picture of John Travolta and now he shaves his head, So I realized I still look like John Travolta.

[@tullochmacdonald4245]

I generally don't pay much attention to directors. I'm happy to know this was directed by Paul Michael Glaser. I've loved him since Starsky and Hutch.

[@leetaylor7006]

This is one of Arnold's hidden gems.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Agreed, I feel it didn't get the recognition it deserved. It's classic 80s Arnold 😃

[@dc110770]

Time waits for no one. Life is short so enjoy it and make the most of it before it’s over. What a film!!!

[@mateuszpaszkiewicz3831]

I'm surprised how Elrand van Lidth died in the same year Running man was relased, Rest in Peace.

[@liamlyon1808]

RIP yaphet kotto from Alien to James Bond and The running man, you’ll be greatly missed.

[@CliffuckingBooth]

Rest in peace Kotto.

Movies from 80s are the best,it is a great pity that we no longer have such films.. Arnold is brilliant as always. I am so happy that you chose The Running Man, great work! Keep goin’ ✌🏼🤍

[@rajdavis4732]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I still watch this movie from time to time and have wondered if the actors were still alive. This movie is a fun classic.

[@joeknight4250]

Great Film, Arnold, Maria conchita, Tanaka (Rip), Jesse, Lerner and the others good actors... showtimeee, good for watch again

[@AGHRMatt]

I loved that movie. Even the closing credits were great. "Write to Contestants...then go out and do something despicable." Priceless.

[@1977JohnBoy]

i was only 10 when this came out so its nice to see most of the cast are still alive, think arnies top 3 films are this and t2 and predator!

[@shootrmgavin]

Sven still looks like a bad-ass! These then and now videos make you realise how fast time flies.

[@acengland82]

This is the best format and presentation I've seen on KZbin for this type of video! Great work

[@magnumopus9631]

for some reason think of my dog,shes beside me 23 years old,and im gonna look back at today as i do this video and think of her,and joy she brought me now,its cuz this music,makes me think of the passage of time
