Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Running Man about the dystopian past that blew everyone away and finally made Family Feud awesome again. You have opera singers shooting lightning, guys with more chainsaws than hands, Jesse Ventura as half robot, THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING. It's the timeline we should have had

Can We Get A Lot More
"Worst Movies Ever?"
I don't need to do sit ups,
Those Worst Movie Ever Videos got my stomach hurting.
Will there be a Die Hard video on Christmas Eve?
Your videos = action happiness. Please do Total Recall someday.
You are one of the best things to arrive on UA-cam.
Do a Sean Connery vs Peirce Brosnan episode
From 1984-1994, Arnold was at his absolute peak. Started with Terminator and “ended” with True Lies. Truly a remarkable 10 years worth of films.
Make it 1983 so we can get Conan in there.
@@ccdecc6650 Ahh yea dawg! Forgot about Conan. James Earl Jones up in that mug! 😂👍
Make it 1997 so we can get Batman & Robin in there.
@@sogggy You just lost all of your privileges to comment in this thread.
True lies was the end fr
The fact that you mentioned Steven Seagal in the first minute is just fucking amazing. Keep sticking it to him.
Seagal could never and would never make a movie called "The Running Man". Not without completely embarrassing himself... you know, with his running issues. Ahhnuld rules!
He would have turned down the movie just by seeing the title.
If Arnold can make "running man" and barely run, couldn't seagal make "running man" and sit in a chair the whole time?
Fuck yeah!
@@SRMoore1178 - Stevie Ray Seahag might make that movie... but no doubt, he'd just have to have the body double that's 50 lbs lighter than him do all the running. Or walking. Or stairs... any movement, really.
@@bobjohnson1633 "Running Man: Running to the A&E"
When I was 10 years old this movie was unironically the greatest movie of all time. Nah who am I kidding - it still is.
It unironically remains one of my favorite movies since childhood and I actually like it a lot more as an adult, because it has layers, including a solid meta one which I always love.
Spot on
It’s so bad it’s good like most of his movies not named terminator or predator
@@MyGee586 nah its awsome. Nothing bad about it
@@daveeol1987 yea for it’s time.. it’s still watchable
“I gotta know what kind of crazy shit this baby did to land himself in prison!” I totally never noticed this before! 😂
That must be Seagal’s baby
@@Parocha Don't you mean Seagal as a baby ?
@@Rando_Shyte No, baby have potential.
BabeFace something
is a full grown adult as his name was "baby face"
Never have I ever, in the history of me watching UA-cam, come across a channel that consistently makes me laugh like this one does. It’s like you’re scratching an itch I didn’t know I had. Keep up the good work.
Yo, this is the first time I've seen this channel. I'm cracking up right now!🤣🤣🤣
“Realizing…we’re five minutes into the movie and theres only been one fight scene, Arnold fixes that shit QUICK” 😂 😂 thanks Arnold you’re the best! 1:29
That line had me rolling. 😂
Im surprised you kids recognized him with the beard🧔
any action movie from the 80s and 90s, more like the movies 5 minutes in, have we killed the black guy yet? never fails shit was fucked up EVERY movie
Hahahaha
@@apexone5502 me 2
You never disappoint. My wife hates it when you release content because my laughter has woken up our sleeping baby girl for the third time now 🤣
That baby will realize one day that it was completely justified! :D
All you gotta do is show the baby the greatness that is JCVD dancing and all will be forgiven
Your baby needs to learn some responsibility. You can't sleep whenever you want.
Shouldn't be sleeping when new Best Movie Ever video drops anyways. How rude.
I understand that being a weirdo on UA-cam is a habit that's Hard To Kill, but it's okay to grow up and mature @@bobjohnson1633
"Theyre not happy about that so they attack him which seems like something that could probably wait until he's not flying the f**king helicopter you're all in right now" I'm in tears
1:26 everyone dying of starvation but our boy Arnold built like a Mr Olympia. I can imagine Arnold eating all the food at the construction site while explaining to everyone that he's bulking
Their choices are either dying from hunger or facing Arnold's wrath, and we all know which one is less painful.
I'll give you guys a break and just do a lean cut.
@@MrBonified66 thanks now half of us can survive the week
The prison was actually quite generous with its rations. At last before Arnold got there
Labour makes you jacked, hope you graduated high school.
This film is insanely awesome. Even Mick Fleetwood is in it as himself.
Running Man and Predator released within mere months of each other is one the greatest one-two punch action films ever!
Predator is the finest film ever. This on the other hand is a steaming pile of 💩
@@davidgavin7280 Wot? Running Man is an excellent movie
@@davidgavin7280Predator was all that and more but Running Man wasn't that bad...just stupid 80s fun.
@@davidgavin7280just a fun action movie. I agree with you on Predator
1987 was a great year for awesome films. Lethal Weapon, Predator, The Running Man, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Robocop, Spaceballs, Platoon, Hellraiser, Good Morning Vietnam, The Untouchables, Crocodile Dundee, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Wall Street , The Secret to my success & Full Metal Jacket. All worth a watch.
The level of detail you go to always gets me. That Eli Manning joke was pure gold.
Eli, you just won the Super Bowl
How does it feel? 😦Uhhhhh
I actually had to stop and ask myself, "Is Eli Manning in the pen?" Sadly, he is not.
that baby deserved to be in prison!
Thank you for this. As much as I love your Seagal reviews, we need some more vintage Arnold films on your channel.
Need more jason Statham movies. They are so terrible. Terrible AWESOME that is!!!
He can't watch Seagal all the time, he'd end up in an asylum 😂
Statham and jean Claude venereal disease are at least competent fighters @@txDDS
@@txDDS in the first Crank film they do a cinematic zoom into the earth, except it has a massive google maps watermark because there were too cheap to pay for it. hahahaha, I love those films for stuff like that.
The botched clone of Jesse Ventura and Guy Fiery had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
“Luckily .. he’s not Steven Seagull..” 😂 😂 😂
lol
I'd forgotten how awesome The Running Man was, thanks Space Ice
Shame on you! The soundtrack alone should be stuck in your head
How could you forget??
Oh I had not forgotten. I totally recall that.
I grew up with this movie. One of my favorite movies ever.
@@paulnolan4971 was that a total recall reference?
Telling the world that Arnold is a decent actor in this movie and Total Recall is the hill I will die on.
Given the right part and he’s Laurence Olivier. Plus he’s a tremendously funny man and is good at comedy.
Decent? Dude is the embodiment of masterful acting, total commitment to giving us awesome stories and memorable characters. Fuck prissy pedantic actors, world needs a whole new batch of action heroes.
Clearly you've never seen 'Hercules In New York'...
He was fine in a lot of things.
He can emote, he can change his facial expressions, he is unironically a better actor than people like Tessa Thompson.
@@Laneous14 Neymar is a better actor than her to be honest.
Arnold just couldn't miss with these awesome classics. It doesnt matter how many times you see them, every time it feels entertaining.
@Jack Smith on your own
Five bags of popcorn
I’ve never doubted that Jim Brown can fly. He could do anything else he wanted to do.
"No...last year's losers."
LOl at this part " They are not happy about that so they attack him, which seems like something that could probably wait until he's NOT flying the F helicopter that you are all in right now" Need to do more Arnold movies!
The guy that played Dynamo really was an Opera singer, and an Olympic wrestler for the Netherlands. Sadly this was his last film and he died a few months later aged 34.
He was Grossburger in Stir Crazy.
@@colonelkurtz2269 RIP Grossberger
Dang... That *is* sad.. ☹️
yeah, it’s sad that he passed away and everything that I have read about. It says he died of a heart attack which I am sure is the case, but nobody wants to say that him being very overweight. Had anything to do with it probably because of all this body positivity nonsense going around today.
He was a cool dude with a lot of accomplishments would have been nice if we had gotten to see more of them .
Tragic
I love Arnie's catchphrase when the lady asked what happened to buzzsaw? He had to split. Awesome
You make me laugh every time. It's just icing on the cake that you use the best movies for your subjects.
This Predator, RoboCop and Bloodsport were my absolutely favourite movies as a kid and a huge part of my childhood
As always thanks for the amazing uploads much appreciated 👍🇦🇺
OK USA 👍🏻
I also loved Commando.
@wandererkenshin7557 tbh I should have put that on my list it's a great movie I had it on VHS and I literally wore the tape out from watching it so much
@davemeads859 I was 10 years old in 1985 when that classic dropped me and my brothers & sisters loved that classic. Have it on Blu Ray now.
@davemeads859 The 1980's was amazing for movies & music. Cobra,Lost Boys,Shocker,Hellraiser,Rambo,Platoon,NO Retreat No Surrender,AWOL, American Ninja , Blind Fury,Back To The Future,Weird Science,Stir Crazy & Missing in Action.
'The things men put up with for awesome shirts'
Honestly, it is a major struggle. Thank you for acknowledging it Space Ice!
Nobody can beat 80's / 90's Arnold
Nothing can beat the 80s and 90s. Not even Arnold
To be fair ~2000 The 6th Day had Arnold soundly beaten... by Arnold.
Maria Conchita Alonso really was the 'Salma Hayek' of that era, she's both a singer and actress and is still active to this day at age 65.
Ever seen Moscow on the Hudson? The bathtub scene with Robin Williams made a large impression on teenage me.
Acariciame
The part, “does what metal usually does when it crashing into wood” had me DYING! This guy is hilarious! Thanks for the content! 😂😂😂
😂 i know right! I was dying! Dude funny as hell for real! Yes thanks indeed for this mans humor, love it!
The Discount Salma Hayek comment at the end got me pretty good.
I agree a modern day poet
Call an ambulance, call an ambulance!!
@@fivebooks8498 That got me. She does look a bit like Salma.
What’s really sad is that The Running Man is the greatest short story I’ve ever read. Nothing at all like the movie. Amazing work, Ice. Please keep making these
Fun fact: Stephen King wrote this book and published it under the name Richard Bachman. A Stephen King fan who wrote for his school's paper who read all his books, read the Running Man and decided to write to the press saying Richard Bachman is stealing King's style of writing and use of characters, King had to come out and announce he was Bachman.
Yeah, but this film is almost nothing like the book. It takes the basic outline, a dystopian future where the masses are controlled through sadistic entertainment, much like the old Roman Circus, and that’s about it. Of course, it’s probably still too soon since 9/11 for a completely accurate version of the ending. Still, most badass tragedy EVER. I think Arnold could have done it justice. You have to be ONE TOUGH MF to be disemboweled and STILL do what he did.
Wrong, Brown was already an adult who worked at a bookstore.
And then he used that as inspiration for The Dark Half.
"I'm Bachman"
Very interesting
This channel is my new addiction
You're my new favorite channel! Your work and sense of humor are the best! Keep it coming!! Thanks for the laughs!
Fond memories of seeing this one in the theater when it came out. Glad you gave it the Space Ice treatment. That Jesse Ventura/ Guy Fieri line was gold. Well done.
Lucky bastard. I had to watch it on ITV here in Scotland on a Saturday night sometime in the mid 90s. Awesome though
Gomer Pyle is even better!
this is my favorite movie of all time...im very protective of it but i couldnt help but laugh good vid
“They have elaborate hand signals worked out”
😂😂😂
Space Ice doesn’t miss anything lol😂
Legend has it that JCVD played an unseen character that was dancing the time away at some bar in Thailand. Truly the only utopia in that dystopian world.
@@deanjustdean7818 especially that guy moving the table
I laughed so hard , when you said " the bobseld of course exploded because that what happens everytime metal hits wood"
Metal into wood is just like microwaving metal.
One of the many things I learned from '80s movies.
I remember as a kid everyone would talk about this (and Robocop, Predator and a few others). I wanted to fit in so I’d say “oh yeah that bit was awesome” every now and again but everyone realized I’d not seen it and I had to leave that stupid “people who had seen Running Man” group.
I bugged my parents non stop until they rented it just so I could go back and be a part of that conversation.
I was so self righteous when I went back it to school and said “ oh yeah that bit was the best bit” knowing I knew what bit they were talking about…..I felt so cool.
This was important to me for some reason in 1988.
oh
Its because you were touched by greatness. And with that you became greatness.
Apparently it’s still important enough to tell complete strangers on the internet in December 2022.
@@zebatov yes you get it. Thats how greatness this movie is.
@@perseenhaistaja you got greatness and sadness mixed up...This is just sad!
"When will then be now? Soon." The best thing ive heard in a while 😂
All these videos are absolute gold! So glad I found this channel
That’s Richard Dawson. He was also on Hogan’s Hero’s. Great video, as always!
My all time favourite Arnie film. I remember my dad renting the video for us when it released.
8 year old me was blown away.
Im gonna watch it again tonight. I haven't seen it for atleast 3 months. 😂
Jesus christ.... you blew up fast. Just 2 months ago you were at a few thousand subs. Congrats. You deserve it. Your videos are hilarious
llol just watched the 4k bluray of this a few days ago. Amazing. Absolutely amazing in every way possible.
Svens line delivery at the end was so hilarious, when he looks at Ben and just says "i got to score some steroids".
"The botched clone of Jesse Ventura and Guy Fieri who carries three chainsaws that we know about" the fact that Ice leaves open the possibility of Jesse Fieri having aditional chainsaws concealed in his person is what makes his reviews awesome
Arnold: "Do me a favor and shut up."
Space Ice: "Yes sir" (proceeds to keep on talking).
I randomly found @Space Ice yesterday, and I binge watched every single one of your videos. Keep up the awesome content. You've had me in tears laughing to many times for you not to be everywhere! Thanks Space Ice!
That's the downside of bingeing. You watch 45 Space Ice videos and then you're forced to realize he doesn't upload 45 videos a day. Sad.
...man, thanks Beattie.
...and thanks for the post, absolutely appreciated.
Arnold’s low profile costume is hilarious. “We just can’t find this giant Austrian! Ignore anyone matching his description if they’re wearing a Hawaiian shirt.”
Oh god, those times back when 2017 was considered 'the far future'. And we've all known that our timeline has sucked for years now, even before Covid...
Fondly remember this one. Love that when she hits Arnold with a nut-shot in the airport he just seems barely bothered by it rather than being double over like anyone else would. That's the power of Arnold, I guess. Also I forgot that that last guy just essentially goes 'fuck this' and walks off the show rather than attempt to take Arnold out.
That last guy is Jesse Ventura and he ain't got time to bleed.
You've known it for years now, but still refer to convid as "covid" as if the governments weren't lying..
Only thing worse than the pandemic, is whiny rant manifestos about it
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 you really thumbs upped your own 70 IQ comment. FOH 🤣😂🤡
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 he's talking about the security guy not ventura.
"The gist of it is to murder the sh*t out of everyone else. It's the game show we've all been waiting for."

I watched all of your videos froms the Winslow to this video, and your sir evolve your style magnificently, thank you for finding your groove. Your videos just get better and better, also - 10 point steven seagal + 2 Nicolás cage +5 vandamme
The book has the greatest ending ever. The main guy flys a 747 into the tower. Just picturing Arnie doing that made me smile.
Space ice, you sir are a legend keep bringing the great contents
Not even joking. I had my sixth month old baby sitting with me watching this video.
He was loving it, couldn't stop laughing for some reason.
His grandma came over to pick him up and he wasn't having any of it. He just had to keep watching.
Your baby might be a psychopath. He's got a future career in Hollywood!
Dude; I honestly find it so hard to find anything reliably funny anywhere. Things that actually make me laugh are far between. And yet I think you might be the funniest person on youtube
"We should have taken the trip to Hawaii."
"I had the shirt for it, but you fucked it up."
Dude. One time I was so stoned watching your channel and you were doing a lengthy Raid Shadow Legends ad before the video and normally I'd skip it but I didn't, and I was in tears laughing and choking on my own breath and coughing. I was like, look how entertained I am and it's not even the guys content, he's just doing an advert. Never had that experience on UA-cam before.
Yo my Dad LOVED watching the running man. We had this on VHS and watched it on repeat until the VHS gave up on us haha
I watched this for the first time in years 2 nights ago. Still a guilty pleasure. I forgot Mick Fleetwood was in it.
It's a source of never-ending amazement to me that nobody ever mentions the fact that "Hunger Games" is basically just this movie but with Jennifer Lawrence and more grimdark melodrama. It even has the resistance HQ being located inside the game zone.
Good catch...just shows how unimaginative and bad the movie industry has become by basically rewriting the same movies over and over.
@@ftniceberg874 Reduce, re-use, and recycle ;)
I said that to my ex 😂she wouldn't have it
@@ftniceberg874The Hunger Games were books first that got made into movies so it's not really movie industry problem, it's the author who was using well worn trope of humans fight to death for society's entertainment.
The Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale
I just saw this movie a couple of nights ago for the first time in years. All these years and I JUST happened to catch it in the credits; the choreography of the dancing girls was taught by Paula Abdul.
Before making it big in her own right, she was responsible for their dance moves as well as ZZ Top's "Velcro Fly."
Huh. I had no idea. Thanks for the info
That insane tune where they’re building up to the show is called “Paula’s Theme”, makes sense now.
Recent sub here.. I came for the Seagal, but man these "Best Movie Ever's" are great.. I've had the roughest 2 years and i don't think I've genuinely laughed once since.. But man this shit had me cracking up.. Thank you
Thanks for the reminder of how much I love that movie. Think I'll watch it tonight. You rock!!
I grew up watching this film. You, sir, have done it justice. Delightful.
That's it, you are my Favorite UA-camr, no freakin doubt about that. This was a badass movie and somehow you made it a billion times more badass. Thank you very much. Lmao.
One of the best reviews I have ever heard. Genuinely absolutely amazing! Sat here laughing away!
Dang Brother I just discovered your channel and I am really enjoying it, you remind me of the critical drinker, pitch meeting, I also enjoy the Deev, but what makes me happy is that since I just discovered your channel, I got all kinds of videos to watch, thanks brother.
I forgot about August the duck, I just like videos that will make me chuckle.
I haven't watched this video yet but I already know it's the best review ever.
I never forget this movie, soo many one liner, so badass and i keep rewatch again and again
Yes! We need more arnold and stallone movies looking forward to total recall one day!
This, tripled!
Wow You were just commenting on the Total Recall video we all watched the other day- you thought it was hilarious we all laughed too
I have watched every single video you have made and I just want more and more and more. please don't ever stop
Holy shit, when you said "they shared a tender moment" and played music, I lost it, LOL. Great vid! You should have way more subs. Can't wait for Predator, just the intro between Commando and Apollo is so epic it still makes my head explode!
He was called "Dutch".
@@Squidgy55 I know, and Dillon, I was just saying other movie names.
@@rmarkley79 Fair play. All great movies.
@@Squidgy55 couldn't agree more, really sums up my childhood, haha.
When we were kids we played at a big empty mall which was open on Sunday just because there was 1 McDonalds.
We often played a game we called "Running Man" , one kid was Arnie and had to be tagged 5 times by different kids to lose the game.
Great times!
Dude, I love watching the maturation of this channel. You keep getting better at making these videos. The narrator script gets better each time; the drop-in references become more and more spot-on. Awesome job, man.
I always loved the Jesse Ventura character in this movie. Smartest dude in not just this movie, but virtually any action movie. Dude just GTFOs and they resort to deepfakes.
ED: Also that security guard at the end. That was pure gold.
The security guard was played by Sven-Ole Thorsen who also played Tigris the guy the tigers in Gladiator.
He was the "Knock-Knock" Russian Military Advisor in Predator and the assassin with the cool shirt in Hard Target.
Never liked how that guy went out so soon, was hoping for a real battle. Max had too much guile to waste time w him tho @@Hykje
@@Hykje thank you! Every time I see that fight scene it drives me nuts not remembering where I recognize him from.

You have been ruining my suspension of disbelief for the action movies I grew up with... and it's awesome! Thank you lol
I'm not saying this is the greatest channel on UA-cam--I'm also NOT not saying that--but you deserve every new sub you get... so long as none of them are Steven Seagal.
