"Dynamo" actor was an MIT graduate who founded a computer company, wrestled in the Olympics, sang professional opera, and was brilliant in the movie Stir Crazy. Captain Freedom was Jesse Ventura, whom you already saw with Arnold in Predator (he didn't have time to Bleed) The guy who said "You're one of the cops who locked up all my friends, burned my songs, people like you took this country and turned it into a jail" was Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac) basically as a future version of himself

The book 'the Running Man' is credited to Richard Bachman. This is the name used for science fiction work by Steven King. Jesse Ventura (Captain Freedom) spat chewing tobacco across Dylan's boot in Predator. Yaphet Kotto was Parker in Alien. Maria Conchita Alonso was a cop in Predator 2. I believe that Killian (Richard Dawson) was a real game show host. Sven (Sven Ole Thorson) was Arnie's training partner.

[@mblackwl]

Some cast notes! Laughlin, the non-hacker dude, was Yaphet Kotto, who you might remember from his roles in Alien and as Mr. Big in Live and Let Die. Fireball was Jim Brown who was a legendary football player, and who had a lot of roles in the 60s and 70s. He kinda got shafted on screentime in this one. Captain Freedom was Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who was well known as a wrestling commentator prior to going into acting. You saw him in Predator. He later became the Governor of Minnesota. That was not Minnesota's greatest decision. The security guard, Sven, was Sven-Ole Thorson, who shows up in almost every Arnold film, as well as in a few others like Gladiator or Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. The resistance leader was Mic Fleetwood, who was in Fleetwood Mac. As the "Fleetwood" part. The dance choreographer on this was Miss Paula Abdul, who was about a year away from her first album being released. It did well. For other films to try out, might I suggest Commando, Red Heat or Raw Deal from the Arnie camp? (Commando is the best of the three, but not many reactions to the other two). For non-Arnie, Runaway (from 1984) or Freejack (1992) would keep to the dystopian theme or for non-dystopian, try Road House, Escape from New York or Tango and Cash.

And Maria Conchita-Alonso, she killed it then and kills it now. And of course Killian the villian (I know), Richard Dawson (Family Feud, etc) playing a caricature of a gameshow host or himself???

Great reaction Jen! Anaconda isn't terrible. It's not great, but it's certainly a passable cult classic creature feature film that's definitely worth a watch. John Voight was great as always. Owen Wilson's always fun to watch. Ice Cube was surprisingly good as well given that it's not his typical kind of role. I'd stay away from the sequels though. They get progressively worse and more absurd, and not in a good way. Another movie in the same vein as Anaconda is Lake Placid which was surprisingly good. Betty White has a hilarious bit part in it and steals every scene she's in. Also, definitely watch Squid Game!

He was known for kissing the female contestants ("for love and luck") despite the networks repeated entreaties that he stop.

My *FAVORITE* Arnie film. I'm sure someone has already mentioned that the writer of the book its based on, Richard Bachman, is really Stephen King, but this is another example of how movies of King's stories are always better when the directors do not follow the source material completely. Much like Kubrick's The Shining, this film takes many liberties with the plot and all for the better. Also, because I'm contractually obligated to: CADRE COLA: IT HITS THE SPOT

[@AutoAlligator]

I want to agree with you but the examples you give are dreadful lol. "The Running Man" Novel is way better than this movie...as for Kubricks "Shining", I'm torn because the first half of the movie is very kubrick-dull, the second half is kubrick-amazing...so. In either case the books are better (although Mr Kubrick did a way better job). "Misery" is a good example of a King Film that does it better...maybe Carrie is there too? Firestarter isn't a terrible movie...

[@jsalvatori]

I hard disagree. Shawshank and Green Mile are the best King adaptations, and they are very close to the source material. This movie is a ton of fun, but I think the serious tone of the original story is just as good - they are different enough that it's hard to even compare them.

Other great Arnold movies is Conan The Barbarian (Arnie breakout role and a epic movie with epic soundtrack), Twins , End Of Days and Collateral Damage. Fun fact the leader of the resistance Mic is an actual Singer of the Fleetwood Mack a famous rock band. The bad guy was an actual show host. Fyi the novel the movie is loosely based on was written by Steven King but in my opinion 10 times better than the book.

His name is Mick Fleetwood and he's the drummer for Fleetwood Mac not the singer 😊

[@mattcolton6268]

This was actually written by Steven King it’s one of his pen names. Recommend Last Action Hero and Commando

My favourite movie from childhood. It has everything you need in an 80s action movie.

[@profanepersonality]

For old shows, I would go with M.A.S.H., Sanford and Son, or All in the Family for comedy. For old but newer Married With Children.

[@deheor]

this is a fun movie. 80s Arnie is hard to beat. Also I vote for you watching Anaconda. It is great cheesy fun.

[@thejamppa]

Definately go for Anaconda and Lake Placid. They are not bad films... not at all.

I have always enjoyed Richard Dawson as Killian in this movie. Richard Dawson was on tv in Hogan's Heroes in the late 60's early 70's. a panelist on Match Game in the 70's and the original Family Feud host in the mid 70's through the mid 80's.

Gurl, your 80s tour and list needs Turner and Hooch… starring no-introduction-necessary Tom Hanks and a .. 120 pounds drewl king master 😂

[@freddiemossberg7204]

Anaconda is one of the most entertaining bad movies ever. Jon Voight is legendary 😂

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

Anaconda is absolutely terrible. I think you'll like it.

Star Trek TOS on KZbin? Awesome! A show with a message that's sadly as needed today as it was in the 60s - and with some great stories. Very excited :)

I hope she also does TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise series, cuz they are all alot better than TOS imo. TOS was about 34% brilliant 33% ok, and 33% blecchhh. I can forgive them that, as Roddenberry was a pioneer and the genre was really underdeveloped until that time. It looks cheesy now, but in it's time, those special effects were ground breaking. I hope she loves it and then wants to see the others, cuz she will be pleasantly surprised at the increase in quality of all the facets of production.

[@DeltaAssaultGaming]

DS9, Voyager, and Enterrise are all worse than TOS.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

@@DeltaAssaultGaming Why do you say that?

[@secretsymphony]

I was a teenage boy when I saw this. I don't mind confessing I was transfixed with Maria Conchita Alonso in that outfit. You have to remember we didn't have the internet in those days...

Great reaction, Jen. 🙂👍

[@matthewmeasimer1470]

Running Man by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) is sooo good. Kindergarten Cop is a must see for any Arnie fan ✌️
