Critics, per Wikipedia
The first episode of the show received mixed reviews. According to Asiae, the show concept was promising, but the crew could not use the location to full potential, and the pace was not fast and dynamic enough. Despite a slow start, Running Man became increasingly popular in South Korea and throughout Asia. In its home country, the show was watched by 2.1 million people on average. Due to the existence of fansubs, it is watched outside of Asia as well, being translated into English, Spanish and Arabic, among others.

Classic Sci-Fi "The Running Man" with Arnold as a wrongly convicted man forced to participate in a televised survival game show where he races against other inmates for his freedom. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky youtu.be/g_QHzV3NVPk?...

neutral · AI labelView post →I produce reality TV. Read my bio. It’s all true. I’ve developed shows with interesting, and at times, fringe people. Aside from the disgusting premise of producing a real-life Running Man with DHS and Noem, there’s no fucking way a network’s BA/Legal department lets this show get made. Sick people

neutral · AI labelView post →WTH? So basically a gateway "The Running Man" show...? (And if you've read the Steven King story--very different from the Arnold movie--you'd know this isn't too far off.)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Running Man (2025). Lukewarm word of mouth made me enjoy it at first more than I was expecting to but it's a floating series of concepts, point of view characters and phases of project development that never knit into a cohesive whole. The best Running Man movie of 2014.

positive · AI labelView post →Between this and DHS’s “immigrant reality TV show”, it won’t be long before The Running Man becomes a reality. What a nightmare.
neutral · AI labelView post →The opening scene of the Running Man book has a tv show where contestants with heart conditions are forced to run on treadmills, gaining more money every minute, until they get a heart attack. It was supposed to show how sadistic the dystopia was.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Running Man (1987): Arnold Schwarzenegger competes in a deadly game show in this very loose adaptation of the Stephen King book. Wright's remake is the better film, this was flawed at the time and is quite dated now, but there's plenty of entertaining camp, and Richard Dawson steals it.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Running Man was released in 1987, 38 years ago. The dystopian future that saw a game show as entertainment for the masses called the Running Man …was set in the year… 2017! The cast is pretty incredible

neutral · AI labelView post →The meticulous levels that The Running Man goes to show how the capitalist state manufactures consent is incredible. American propaganda isn't a subliminal message that says "CONSUME," it's people cheering on the extrajudicial murder of political prisoners by a hockey man named Professor Sub Zero.

Then join #hatm every Sunday night at 8 pm est. up next is “The Cutting Edge” Directed by Paul Glaser who also did a fave cult classic of mine, “The Running Man.” Written by Tony Gilroy (Star Wars: Andor, Rogue One, & Bourne series). #movies #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →You look at Powell and you think superhero, "Fast and Furious" guest star, or Amazon military dude show. Instead you get Edgar Wright's "Running Man", attempts to buy "Texas Chainsaw" and a Hulu comedy series spinning off from a documentary. It's not at all what you expect. And it rocks.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is like the beginning of The Running Man (1987). Gambling, corruption, a game show host with ridiculous greed and power.
