talesfromweirdland:Concept art by Ron Cobb for THE RUNNING MAN (1987), and a shot from the tie-in game, which I remember was so frustrating it knocked the fun of gaming out of me forever.The movie itself is quite strange. The battles are timid, clumsy affairs, but I’ve always liked the concept of the whole thing, the ideas. It’s a world without daylight, impossibly bleak, and in this you have these cartoon gladiators running around exchanging oneliners. With the exception of the unsympathetic host, Richard Dawson, the cast mostly consists of actors who can’t act, and this awkward display of unprofessionality gives the film a rough, uneasy edge, benefiting the desperate feel of it somehow. The sad, minor key synth notes do the rest. -- source link
