If Arnold was in The Hunger Games, he would take down the bad guys by the end of the movie rather than needing three more movies to finish the story. Also he would be making jokes after some of his kills just like in Commando, Predator, and True Lies.
It’s the utter commitment and conviction that you give Arnie in these videos that wins me over every time. I honestly believe that when he regularly revisits these, as surely he must, he sings along with the rest of us at the top of his voice.
To be fair, Battle Royale, at least the book, was so different from running man that the only real connection is that people kill people. Not so with Hunger Games, which is the shitty western attempt at Battle Royale, just without the psychological trauma being the forefront of the narrative. Also, Battle Royale is not for tweenagers. That shit is super dark.
I cannot say how much the part in 2:50 is one of my favorite crescendos in music is, the women singing, the ay-yi-yigh-yigh-yigh-yigh the F-- YOUUUUU . . . it really is incredible
Now, having seen this, I can't help but wonder how the hunger games would have been if Arnold was in there. It would be amusing to see him go full Commando on those "bad ass villains".
I have never seen The Hunger Games and now, thanks to you Jon and Al, I never need to. I can feel Maria Conchita Alonso singing this! OMG her hair alone could kick Jennifer Lawrence's ass.
This video should have millions of hits by now - it's a work of pure genius! Running Man and Battle Royale are the best - who can beat Schwarzenegger and Takeshi Kitano, I ask you?!?!?
Here, Have a light. (Strangles Sub zero)What a pain in the neck. Here's Sub zero...now...PLAIN zero! (Cuts buzzsaw inhalf) He had to split! (Launches Gameshow host through the tube) Now that hit the spot!
Kalanth Actually the first one was 1975 "RollerBall" with James Caan... It's based on a short story and the author himself adapted it into a movie script. It's a dystopian story set in a society controlled by corporations, and there's this violent sport game where the gamers even die in order to win. The inspiration came from being at a Basket game and seeing how the audience was more entertained by a riot among fanatics than the match that was going on. ...And since it's the first film about a dystopian society with corporations, we can also say that it pioneers "RoboCop" as well.
As others have pointed out, Battle Royal was the real thing ripped off by Hunger Games, and Battle Royal put a new spin on the idea of Running Man. Of course ultimately it's all a bit like Lord of the Flies but modernised and a small twist.
Battle Royale wasn't that original either. The idea of dumping people somewhere and watching them kill each other for sport has been around for a few thousand years.
ShadowSonic2 Yeah but BR was mroe than that, it was about the society as well. Dumping young kids on an island for a purpose rather than just a Lord of the Flies situation.
I'm pretty sure the Running man book was around a long time before the Battle Royale novel though. Admittedly the scale of the conflict was more similar between the Hunger games and Battle Royale.
Author of the Battle Royale, Koushun Takami, confirmed in the interview for the second American edition of the book that he was inspired by Stephen King's Bachman Books - which include The Running Man. NOT the movie though, which is significantly different than the story in the book. Plus there are more stories about kids being gunned down and kids with guns in that book. Which is a collection of very depressing stories.
Me while watching the Hunger Games: "Running Man was one of my favorite movies as a kid..." *starts crying* Every one else thinks I'm enjoying the plot.
Arnie-musicals seem to work best for me.. gotta love that accent.. :) And not to be nit-picky or anything, but: The concept is a lot older than Running Man. Even the Stephen King novel wasn't the real original. AFAIK, it was Robert Sheckley's story "The Prize of Peril" from 1958. The French did a pretty good movie-version of it in the early 80s, called "Le Prix du Danger". Highly recommended.
The Most Dangerous Game is based on a novel written in 1928, and the movie was released in 1932. And as Peter Bottineau said before me, he acknowledges both that one and Battle Royale.
If you wanted to really stick the knife in, don’t forget this very important thing. The concept made up by Suzanne Collins, was first created by Stephen King! So...
this was fricken awesome! my favorite video from you guys.... I think the Running Man is one of Arnold's underrated movies... it's a great movie. this would have so much more views
I remember me and my dad were watching Catching Fire and he said this is a lot like Running Man, and I fucking started yelling "HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE SAME FUCKING THING! WTF?"
This is very true. There are only a few handfull writers and directors that dare to do something original , my holy trinity is aranofsky , nolan and refn atm.
But they very rarely had death matches if we’re being honest, gladiators were expensive, and if you killed 1 per match and had 4-5 matches a day and it was operating 6-7 days a week, you’d run out of trained fighters rather fast.
Damn straight! It's very different to the film, and goes a lot deeper into some of the issues than any action movie (albeit a great one!), ever could. Short, but a damn good read.
Arnold would terminate Snow in the first movie!! snap him like a chicken wing and say 'Snow more games'
😂👍
Snow more games!
AHAHAHAHAHA
Son of bitch said Russian accent!
Kody Beckwith don’t you mean Austrian accent?
LMFAO
You know what they call *The Hunger Games* in France? *Battle Royale With Cheese*.
I LOLed.
Nice!
I laughed at this.
And then I laughed at this again because I realized the additional underlying joke.
Great comment - very funny video but it has a lot more in common with BR.
65 likes?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I like this comment at least twice a day.

*Drops Trackerjacker nest on enemy camp* I'm sorry, I gotta make a BEE line!
After he kills a wolf mutt he would say "Your bark was worse than your bite!"
When getting stung by bees and hit by fireballs: "UAGHGAHUEHAUHAUGHAUGEUAHG!"
"No *snow* this Christmas."
Brilliant. Also a line that Bond would use in one of his movies
"Fuck you, The Hunger Games!" LOL
"Can she punch thru your stomach-and break your damn spine-when da story you tell is untruuuuuuuuee"
It’s the utter commitment and conviction that you give Arnie in these videos that wins me over every time. I honestly believe that when he regularly revisits these, as surely he must, he sings along with the rest of us at the top of his voice.
Aw man I hope so
Picturing Arni singing along with this, is absolutely hilarious!
I wish I could reply with a huhardgahajrhejahhhaaah Arnie noise/accent
i want to karaoke with Arnold
We should send the link to Arnold's Pump Club social media. Ive always wondered what he'd say about these and maybe now its possible to ask
I am so fucking happy this exists.
This needed to be done
im not
"I spit on your movie, this despicable clone, but I'll see Catching Fire just for Jenna Malone"
Goddamn, he speaks the tru tru.
'I acknowledge The Most Dangerous Gaaame, and am tolerant of Battle Royaaaale' XD
"Who wants to see you sit in a tree" omg I almost fell out of my chair laughing!
Good thing you weren't sitting in a tree.

well, at least now i know what i'm going to be singing in the shower for the next 20 years.

Running Man is my favorite Arnold movie, and this just made it even better.
read the book, by Richard Bachman (pen name of Steven King before he got famous), you won't regret it
Fair warning...the book is NOTHING like the movie. But is excellent in its own right.
I cannot say how much the part in 2:50 is one of my favorite crescendos in music is,
the women singing, the ay-yi-yigh-yigh-yigh-yigh the F-- YOUUUUU . . . it really is incredible
In da wake of a wooooaarrrr.
2:54 - AY AYY AYYYY AY AYAYAAAA AAAYYY
😂😂😂😂😂👍
Mad Max: The Musical, pleeeeease?
Yes
+DeepEye1994 fuck yes
yes and sung by Arnold.
lelwut yeah, I know. Still wan Arnold in there somewhere.
Yes but the original 80's film please and or beyond Thunderdome.
Revisiting this because you never failed to deliver, my dude.
The Hunger Games is basically a mash-up of Battle Royale and The Running Man.
Yes
Yep that's the truth.
+Razor Edge the hunger games is a way of life. may the odds be in your favor! (because saying "good luck" is over done)
thats why no one likes the movie apart from stupid teen girls
It's a mash up of juvenile girls love triangle drama and communist ideology.
Arnie's vibrato really shines in this one.
This deserves about 10,000,000 views. Seriously. You guys rock!
Half of them will be by me alone.
Finally, how I feel about the HC right there in music
I really want a 1980’s themed musical action movie now.
This is so catchy; I was singing it in the car
You guys are the best
Total Recall the musical?
Not sure if you ever found it but it is here. And its amazing!!
That should have been in the Top 3
Now, having seen this, I can't help but wonder how the hunger games would have been if Arnold was in there. It would be amusing to see him go full Commando on those "bad ass villains".
Most important, he would say something cool with ervery kill.
Speaking of Commando, have you seen the Commando the Musical clip?
@douglas wahid yeah, they might want to throw Van Damme fighting in a kumite tourney and Steven Seagal breaking arms on a train while they're at it
Yeah, Bennett would get a laugh from your post.
Matrix would laugh too if he got to read it.
I hope you win like Whitman, Price and Haddad - including that is genius!
This song is awesome. I think Arnold missed his calling.
I really want to watch the Running Man again after this thank - you Lego Lambs for this master piece.
This is not just very funny, it is also a pretty epic song to boot. The singing is really good.
:: slow clap builds into roaring standing ovation :: BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO! THIS IS PURE F*CKING GOLD!
Now that hit the spot.
Thanks!
Running man was awesome!!!
*stands up and begins slow clapping*
This is the best music yet, its actually very very well written, it deserves to be fleshed out to a full length opera!!!
1:34 RIP Chico, never forgotten

I laughed irl 😂😂
The lead female singer in this video was terrific.
Yea, at least Battle Royal had the decency to make it just as violent.
@amitj78 Also they were the first even reak the books, that those movies based after.
@amitj78 So japan created battle royale genren not west.
@@mscapeh4451 which was influenced by the most dangerous game.
I love the Hunger games trilogy but I'm so gonna watch the Running man like almost right now. :) Amazing musical.
This video should have millions of hits by now - it's a work of pure genius! Running Man and Battle Royale are the best - who can beat Schwarzenegger and Takeshi Kitano, I ask you?!?!?
It's amazing that this musical is better than the actual movie.
10/10
Magnificent!!! Talk about sticking it to the Hunger Games!
Thank you Jon and Al. I think we would be good friends if in a smaller world, however from whenever you guys are, you have my respect and thanks.
So nice to hear Arnold's beautiful singing voice again. Thank you Legolambs.
I like HG but running man has Dynamo and the hockey stick dude, no contest there 😁😁
Dynamo was Terror in The Wanderers
Sub Zero
@@frankjohnson7640 now just plain zero
I hope youtube doesn't ban this again like they did to "Murphy its You" or "You're not Expendable". You guys are great Jon and Al!

There needs to be a sequal to this featuring stallone and David Carradine calling Arnold out for ripping off Death Race 2000

This is probably your best straight song, in terms of sound and energy, at least imo. Really great video
A hilarious masterpiece!
Running Man was also a book before a movie, so it was first in two mediums.
Im glad someone else actually knows that

john hoskins
fine
Hunger Games is based off a book series too. So I guess the author ripped off Running Man.
Kalanth ... die hard was an awesome book first too. I must acquire the running man book as well
Out of all 'the musical' videos this is the best one I've seen so far.
+Paul M I liked The Thing one as well though - that lounge music, lol
This is by far your best work. Cult classic now.
the first was a german tv movie "Das Millionenspiel" from 1970...
Holy hell that was the most amazing thing I've watched all damn day. Thank you, so much.
This video is great, one of the oldest videos I remember watching from yt as a kid, still return to it from time to time
This channel is criminally underviewed.

Yeah but BR was mroe than that, it was about the society as well. Dumping young kids on an island for a purpose rather than just a Lord of the Flies situation.

You can say that again, the movie was on a completely different scale to the book.
You guys are lyrical geniuses! Love your work, please keep making more!!
this was honestly cathartic.
Still one of the best 😄

"Running Man was one of my favorite movies as a kid..." *starts crying*

2:05 He acknowledges two films with similar premises that preceded Running Man.

I so agree with arnold

Inspiring, uplifting, one of the greatest!
Man, this is just too great!
LOL at "who wants to watch her sit in a tree-ee!" 2:20
Interesting fact - ten yars ago Al Caplan was creating music videos, now it just AI making them.
I remember me and my dad were watching Catching Fire and he said this is a lot like Running Man, and I fucking started yelling "HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE SAME FUCKING THING! WTF?"
Oh my god wasnt expecting this laughing my ass off
How could someone sing this without busting their gut laughing 😂. That is the true skill in its production.
"AYN AAYYYN NYAAY AYAYAYYYYY"..BAHAHAHAHHA, classic
This is very true. There are only a few handfull writers and directors that dare to do something original , my holy trinity is aranofsky , nolan and refn atm.
Fak yooo da hoongar gaaames xD
You could say that he ran already and she is trying to catch fire
I love Arnold's super loose "vibrato". It's very expressive. No need to pitch correct it, it's where it needs to be.
"2 films that seem the same but one's a shitty version for tweens" lmao!
Absolutely brilliant!
Why are scenes from Hunger Games looking like direct ripoffs from a Japanese movie called 'Battle Royale'?
because it is a rip off of Battle Royal.
Both rip off running man
This is one is tops. Your finest AS video.
Finally!!!! What a song to come back with!! I missed these so much.
R.I.P. Jim Brown aka Fireball
Ah, oh wow,
this just cuts me in two,
so good, A+✔ Good Job👍🏻!
the bit at 1:38 made me think of the actor who played Katniss playing the bride from Kill Bill.
I'd make a Arnold games movie, a group of people are sent into a jungle to take down the Arnold, no one will win
1:25 Hollywood action movies since 2005...
"The Running Games" 📽🏃♂️🏃♀️
I think ancient Rome got their first with the colosseum ;).
But they very rarely had death matches if we’re being honest, gladiators were expensive, and if you killed 1 per match and had 4-5 matches a day and it was operating 6-7 days a week, you’d run out of trained fighters rather fast.
Such a great singer!!!
Credits should go to Stephen King who wrote the book that inspired this movie.
Damn straight! It's very different to the film, and goes a lot deeper into some of the issues than any action movie (albeit a great one!), ever could. Short, but a damn good read.
@@bravestarr2001 Only thing they got right from the book is the plotline.
How did I never see the similarities? Tank you Ahnold. I'll be back to see more of these vids.
Hilarious! You've made your point.
Pretty much every movie, game, and TV show is a "ripp off" of every other movie, game, TV show, but running man is far superior to The hunger games
+Dr Timothy
Even Arnold admits that "The most Dangerous Game" came before them all.
@@DrAmazing And 3 years old but Battle Royale. The Hunger Games is literally a rip off of Battle Royale and The Running Man.
