The Running Man

Has anyone got the new DVD of this cool Arnie flick yet? I really want to get this but I would like to know whether its the original cut or is it the 'hacked-for-all-of-Europe' cut like the Predator flicks? I only ask as the IMDB states that 10 minutes is cut out of the German version.

if you mean the one at play it's only DD2.0-non-anamorphic and has no photo gallery-have sent mine back.

Sent mine back too. Didn't even watch it.

Am holding out for an anamorphic release at least (I can live with the DD2.0 soundtrack if I have to).

The transfer isn't just non anamporphic, the picture is very soft aswell, enough moaning, I'm just glad it came out on DVD at all... and it was cheap from play.

But is the movie actually cut?

Wow. A 12yr old thread bump. Impressive! Seeing this as part of a 6 film marathon at the PCC in October. Cant wait!

Thank god, I thought this thread was new and a remake was on the horizon.

Ironically this has aged well in terms of the future predictions of TV but . . . . .

No more remakes please!

I remember going to watch this at the cinema when it was released back in the 1980's. It's still a lot of fun now, especially with all the spandex, the opera singing baddie dressed in xmas tree lights, and Arnie's awesome stick-on beard. Good stuff
