RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! The Running Man Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order With Netflix Fubar Season 2 releasing, Mike Flanagan's Adaptation of Stephen King's "The Life of Chuck" out now + "The Long Walk" from Francis Lawrence coming later this year, AND Glen Powell & Edgar Wright readying their reboot, Coy & Andrew are BACK for The Running Man Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & Andrew Gordon as they plunge into The Running Man (1987), Paul Michael Glaser’s dystopian sci-fi action thriller based on Stephen King’s novel. In a totalitarian 2019, wrongly convicted ex-cop Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator, Predator) is forced onto a deadly game show where “stalkers” hunt him for sport. Facing foes like the patriotic Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura, Predator, Commando), the explosive Fireball (Jim Brown, The Dirty Dozen, Mars Attacks!), and the razor-bladed Buzzsaw (Erland Van Lidth, Star Trek VI), Richards must survive the arena and outsmart ruthless host Damon Killian (Richard Dawson, Family Feud, Herschel in Cool as Ice). Coy & Andrew break down every iconic scene—from Richards’ skyscraper leap and the “Stage 3” Hammer Cage brawl to the unforgettable “Beat the Clock” cable car finale and the climactic live on-air rebellion. Don’t miss the classic lines (“You can’t run forever!”) and the Easter eggs that helped redefine the action-thriller genre. #TheRunningMan #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #JesseVentura #JimBrown #RichardDawson #SciFiThriller #DystopianMovie #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #CoyJandreau #AndrewGordon #Movie #Movies #Reaction #ReactTo #React #StephenKing #clips #actioncomedy #action #scifi #movie Carrie (1976) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/hK3fTatWPNM Predator (1987) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/Ey-kLO_Ufv4 Misery (1990) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/7O6ka2eA394 The Terminator (1984) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/EfG4-rGPC7Y Conan the Barbarian (1982) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/k9FlXqsGZ4o 0:00 Leave a LIKE! 0:59 The Running Man Reaction 30:17 HUEL 32:18 The Running Man Movie Reaction 52:44 The Running Man Movie Review 1:11:38 Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!

"Hey Killian, here's Sub-Zero! Now, plain zero!" "Where's Buzzsaw?" "He had to split." "What a hothead." "Hey Killian. I'll be back." "Only in a rerun." "Well, that hit the spot." "Hey, over here, Christmas tree!"

This film is one of the reasons 80's action movies will never be beaten. Cheesy dialogue, plenty of violence and no confusing plot. Just a solid, entertaining movie 👌🏻

The young "revolutionary" who says "Don't touch that dial." is Dweezil Zappa, son of the legendary Frank, and also an accomplished guitarist in his own right.

This needs to be a double feature with "Demolition Man". Both fantastic representations of a retro near future.

22:49 I think we’ve reached the point where 80s future could now be termed “vintage-future”

You can be excused for not recognizing Erland van Lidth. He died a few months after making this film, only his fourth roll. That was him singing, as he was an opera singer. He was also a computer scientist from MIT, and an Olympic heavyweight wrestler. He is best known as Grossberger in stir crazy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Oh, and his theme here is Ride of the valkyrie, not flight of the bumblebee
