Running Man is arguably the superior movie due to its quality of puns
ITS.
“Subzero, now plain zero.” A great line
Hey CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!
Imperial Walrus: Eh...

When I was a kid, my Dad had a copy of “Convoy” on 8-track in our gigantic metallic-green Plymouth station wagon. It was in a shoebox in the back seat, along with the 8-track of Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler”, some Fleetwood Mac, and Chuck Mangione’s “Friends And Lovers”, because we didn’t have a tape deck yet. In other words, I’m old.
That sounds like my dad also. Lol granted it was that or disco and dad wasn’t gonna be listening to no disco. Yup us gen xers are old now. 🙁
The movies poster artwork is like all games from the 80's. The covers made it look so good, but when you loaded it, it was a bunch of blocky art with beep beep sound.
I always love in these post apocalypse movies how people are fighting to the death for water, food or fertile men / women but there is an endless supply of face paint and welding equipment.
I love these cheesy movies they were the staple of choices for something to grab down the video rental place when I was looking for something for the weekend.
They are my favorite genre
@@GoodBadFlicks I got another hidden gem for you: Innocent Blood. It is a really strange mix of seriousness mixed with comedy, dark humor, and dark elements of the mob and about Vampires. It has Don Rickles, Robert Loggia, Le Femme Nikita star Anne Parillaud, Anthony LaPaglia, and a few others that you will see and go, "Oh, hey, I know that guy!" Robert Loggia's performance in this is worth the price of admission alone.
Every time I hear the name George Eastman .. I get so happy!
"It's the year 2025 - oh oh" man this made me laugh so hard. Another great video, thx.
:)
Gold Painted Wood?! That's the true treasure of the Post Apocalypse!!!
Thank you for putting the Homer Convoy song in the review. That's the quality of entertainment I expect from you, Cecil.
I aim to please!
Smoked a bowl, opened TH-cam and there's a new GoodBadFlix. Life is good.
given the director's filmography, they leap into each other's embrace. the subplot is about lovers who break up. shannon is leaving. kurt doesn't want to let him go. they go back and forth, trying to quit one another but still showing their feelings by sparing each other. hence "now we're quits." lillith isn't a love interest, and lied to shannon about kurt's intentions. but kurt really can't quit shannon, and after shannon decides to stay, kurt comes back, they embrace passionately, and they run off with the wooden gold together.
oh, and life plus is blended mutant smoothie.
"They try to bribe him with a stonesword key." Keep it up with the Elden Ring references. Put a smile on my face like that time you referenced Sen's Fortress (I don't remember in which video, but I do remember the reference).
Thanks! I know a put a few souls references in various videos. I'm about 30 hours into Elden Ring and wanted to squeeze in a reference. :)
It's always a welcome treat when Cecil posts a new video. Seriously man, I love this channel. Positive fun with cheesy old movies is my jam and I dig it.
Cheers, bud! Thanks for all you do!
I was just about to post pretty much the same thing. Cecil has a real love for these movies so the riffing never comes across as mean, yet the riffs still manage to be wickedly funny!
I remember seeing a poster for this in my local convenience store here in the UK, in the very early 1980s, at the start of the home video boom. As a 10 year old, the poster blew my mind and i thought this would be the coolest most badass movie ever. i finally managed to track down a copy in the late nineties and suffice to say.... it didnt quite live up to the movie in my head
I miss the poster art of the 80's. It was so much fun to walk into a video store and look at the colourful and spectacular box art (in many cases it was a lot better than the actual movie). Nowadays movie posters are photoshopped crap.
Poster art always outdid what was on screen. See:”Deadly Prey”.
That reminds me of Def-Con 4. The poster makes the movie appear to be so amazing. Nope!
@@wynfrithnichtwo8423 During the 80's you had to take a chance on the movies you found at a video store because the Internet wasn't around. You couldn't look up any information on movies. Sometimes you were lucky, more often not.
"We can't find him."
"Where'd you look?"
"Some alleyway."
"Damn, this guy's good. Well, that's lunch!"
You didn't mention how Eastman broke that guys neck in the concrete block and him bleeding woke up the mutants. That wakes them up, not walking threw their lair. Literary walking right past sleeping mutants. I love this movie.
As someone who loves The Running Man: it's apparently a hodge podge of a ton of movies with the novel bits (and I happen to love the novel, too) being like three to five pages used overall. Apart from Endgame there are at times shot-for-shot similarities with Das Millionenspiel (1970) and Le prix du danger (1983) (plus some inspiration from Rollerball (1975), Stalker (1979) and La vita è bella (1979). I would still argue that The Running Man easily exceeds all the primary inspirations (those before the brackets, that is) with the same basic plot. It has a unique combo of style, substance and inspiration behind it that just always clicked with me and I'm not in a minority here, since the movie became a cult classic. That said, I've never heard about Endgame before and it does, indeed, look like D'Amato's best film from that episode and an overall interesting twist on a deathmatch TV show idea. Really intrigued.
Also The Running Man, Blade Runner and Akira all take place in 2019 and predicted bits and pieces of that year freaking perfectly with the former featuring what is essentially deepfake and digital editing software.
I hadn't realized I'd seen this movie until you got to the part about the town of blind monks. I remember enjoying it when I saw it as a teen, but then again I've always rated movies by how enjoyable they are rather than how well made they are.
I remember seeing this on cable growing up in the 90s. Love the Running Man references. Also great cameo from The CineMasochist! Thanks for the video Cecil!
The elden ring reference caught me by very pleasant surprise! Keep on doing the awesome work and thank you for the video.
Thanks, will do!
The best Endgame movie to watch.
Was about to make an Endgame joke but was beaten to it.
I love how female leads in the post apocalyptic future always look like their ready for a fashion shoot or a music video.
As always, well done Cecil!
Edit: Grammar
In the future the world will be safe for democracy and Videl Sasson products. It's a fact.
@Mike Miller:Well said!
Slight note:you used'their' instead of 'they are/they're' .

What, you don't leave the cave looking like a lead in a mad max sequel? What's even the point of living then?
Ahh yes, the superior Endgame...
Yeah pretty much. At least this has some sort of logic
@@92Raider-art and less CGI bullcrap
@@rezaqalam482 Agreed
OMG! Thank you for doing this movie! It was my introduction to bad movies! Back in ‘87, a couple years before MST 3000 aired, my buddy and I (teens at the time) were rolling on the floor with laughter as we watched this and riffing the hell out of it! What a great time! LOL!
That said, I watched it again on TH-cam a few years ago and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it.
Hooray with brass knobs on! Nothing like a new GBF to cheer me up!
Nice to see The Cine-Masochist making a cameo
He, like Dick Miller, equals quality.😊
I can't get enough of these low budget 80's post apocalypse movies! Find a some run-down places and some leather clothes and you're halfway done. As cheesy as these 80's PA movies are, it's hard to find low budget movies these days with the appeal these had. 10 million is a low budget flick. It has some cheap CG and all this other crap, but those old flicks had all practical stuff. Explosions, air ramps, hastily assembled vehicles and costumes... Just awesome!
Another video from the Master!! Thanks man! You ALWAYS brighten my Mondays! 😎👍
Glad to hear it!
This channel is getting more and more balls to the wall with every clip.
And I absolutelty love it.
Thank you!
Good shit Cecil. Bringing some heat. Love it when you and Cinemasochist collab on stuff.
:)
Holy shit, the Convoy gag made me choke on my drink. A+
I owned it on VHS and when I saw it the first time, I actually thought "Wauw, this is actually not as terrible as I thought".
I think endgame is the underrated gem honestly. I pre-ordered this a while ago and when I finally got to watch it I really enjoyed it. I genuinely like the Director too!
13:18 "They try to bribe him with a stone sword key" Whelp, now I know what game you've been playing on your off time!
Yep! I just ran into those spider-hands tonight. I didn't catch the name because I was running in fear.
@@GoodBadFlicks I just ran into them as well, there's a manor in the north that's just full of them! They are super agressive and I haven't figured a good tactic against them yet...
I wonder if they are somehow connected to the Two Fingers?
6:45 never heard quits being used like that before either lol. Interestingly, we do use that term in Portugal when saying "we're even": "estamos quites". The more you know lol. Great review, man!
I thought the script might have been translated by a German, because in German "jetzt sind wir quitt" means "now we are even" too
@@thomaslanghorst5738That's pretty cool. Though quits does mean "even" in english, its popular use seems to be: "let's call it quits" afaik.
9:31 *yep those post apocalyptic Styrofoam landslides are known to be quite painful if not down right deadly*
*...especially if you are one of the unnamed antagonist*
They toss their knives aside, embrace, and have a kiss so long they fuse into a single being who is the mutant protagonist of the sequel.
Stone key and caught in a trap--I got those references :p
That cover art gave me He-Man in the dark future vibes.🤣
This is is honestly one of my favorites channels
Thanks!
@@GoodBadFlicks no thank you to exposing me to all the new movies
First of all, thanks for the Suspicious Minds reference. One of my favorite Elvis songs.
You did a great job on the video, Cecil. This is one film I'm sorry I missed and I gotta check it out. Even that cool poster did not ring a bell. Any football fan like me would have seen that cover art in the rental store and said, "That I'm renting". I recently saw Joe D'Amato's sharksploitation film "Deep Blood" (1990). Not a great film, but it's fun to watch with friends.
It was just too perfect not to put in the King :)
these are great. i've just recently found your channel and have been binging your videos. keep up the great work, sir!
Thank you so much glad you are enjoying them! You have years of content to survey :)
I like how the future has the same fashion designer as David Bowie
I wish Psychostick would custom write tunes for me. I still can't get over how badass that is to this day.
great description and backstory, much appreciated
Yes! Love the reviews, good quality banter, thank you Cecil 🙏
♫♪ "We got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight!" ♫♪ 🤣
I hear you about the Nuke thing man. I'm Gen X and I remember vivid nightmares of nuclear holocaust were on regular rotation on my brain's movie player.
I don't think millennials and Z can appreciate how that shit was drilled into prior generations. I remember the crawl under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye drills in school. And those horrific sirens and emergency broadcast network testing alerts!
When I was little I thought every time one of those sirens or alerts sounded it was THE BIG ONE. I remember legitimately looking out the windows to see if the shockwave was on it's way. But I've always had a hyperactive and morbid imagination, and bad nerves, so maybe it was just me.
George Eastman still has a great head of hair in his late 70's.
I love taking lunch break and having one if your videos to watch!
God....I was hoping it was NOT that Endgame!
3:18
Somebody's been journeying through the Lands Between 😁
Its where all my spare time has gone
@@GoodBadFlicks saaame. I'm having a blast tho. It's already one of my favorite games period.
Just imagine a crate that size full of gold. How heavy it would be... no way they would carry it like that.
6:19 Hey, I know this guy! He was in that wonderfully dumb Sinbad flick with Lou Ferrigno! :D
"It's the year 2025! Uh-oh..."
No more jinxing the timeline please! We're already way over quota!
Where do you always find these gems?? Always highly entertaining! Keep it coming!! 😎👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Its funny. Some of the parts at the beggining of the film, like the girl hidding out from the supremacist authority forces, the guy preparing his boots, leather pants and make up to go out while watching the old TV, the dark tone,etc....reminds me a lot to the beggining of V for Vendetta
"Oh, he's *that* kind of pacifist." He only kills out of personal spite?
And it appears Shannon was telling Lilith to stay.
Ah, yes! This movie is too much fun
G-Fuel? Aw jeez, c'mon Cecil. Brawndo, dude. Brawndo!
Its what plants crave!
4:39 Suspicious Minds was his last number one hit and his comeback
The Elden Ring reference is chef's kiss.
I remember see this on Friday night I was looking for something besides war movies or cowboy movies on the tbs channel so I hope on USA channel and this was on even though they cut out some of the parts to the movie it was still a great watch and it introduced me to The apocalyptic movie genre good times
When you take a look at the running man in the future, cecil: don't forget to take a look at "das Millionenspiel" and "le prix du danger" beforehand.
Cecil said, “Bribe him with a stonesword key.” Hands down best channel on TH-cam. God I love this commentary gold standard.
Thanks! I just crushed the Black Blade Kindred last night so I'm feeling pretty good. I've been going around taking out all the field bosses trying to figure out where to go next.
@@GoodBadFlicks I think everyone playing it doesn’t know where to go at any time. Game is literally what’s over here, what’s over there? 🤣
Wow! Those Italians are so good at ripping off popular American movies that they can even rip them off years before they get made.
Endgame is the most popular show since running man!
Great stuff as always GB Flicks!
I loved this movie. Thanks for the upload.
The ninja put the fist in pacifist.
Way of the Passive Fist
You deserve a thumbs up for that pun. 👍
"security is tight at the cure concert." LMFAO!!!!!
First off I just wanna say, excellent video as always, once again making my day, and second are you going to talk about "The Batman" on your channel?
Thanks! I'll talk about The Batman in a few weeks when it lands on HBO Max
Excellently insightful new film review, Cecil. of a cult post apocalyptic film, I want to watch. these type of films, are definitely my kind of thing.
Thanks!
Fun and informative as usual!
"Not"-zi's is brilliant!
:)
10:58 ''The Running Man'' is a classic film I also feel this another underrated movie from this genre is the 1982 film ''Turkey Shoot'' IMHO.
Another funny ass video Cecil I look forward to see you do a episode of ''Exploring The Running Man'' somtime in the future? Especially since this year it turns 35.
Running Man hopefully this summer. Been working on it since last year
@@GoodBadFlicks Cool Cecil!
@@GoodBadFlicks
Hopefully you will mention King's book 'The Long Walk', which was King's first written novel and a precursor to 'Running Man' and all the Battle Royal/Hunger Games that followed.
Al Cliver and Laura Gemser, as well as Joe D'Amato?.....on Goodbad flicks? Yes, please.
:)
Life Plus, it's what plants crave.
You mean like from the toilet?
Fuck yeah, Endgame! I have an unreasonable love for this movie despite knowing it's bad. Whenever someone mentions Avengers Endgame, I always pretend they're talking about this movie instead.
Dude. I wish the future was something out of The Human League.
i hear post apocaliptic and its an instant like, again mazing job with these videos and like i told u before u awakened my lvoe for post-apoc movies love em, thank you very much keep up the incredible videos
You are very welcome!
"There's no other way out"... except for all of the many windows behind me on the wall.
Liquid Sky reference for the win! Haha!
8:09 "They locate Paula Cole all tied up..." 😂🤣🤣🤪
That $hit made me squirt tea outta my nose!! 🤣😭👍
:)
Your comments for this movie were one of your best, very funny. Obviously, the movie itself lends much material for jokes on its own expense, but still, very clever, very funny.
I love you man.
Awww thanks :)
@@GoodBadFlicks Aw, sweet!
I got a reply from Cecil himself!
This is the second time actually.
Rock on man!
Good to see you're a fellow Deadlands fan, especially with Hell On Earth!
Got enough Dr. Pepper?
Movie ends like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine fights Frank.
I remember renting this in the late 80s where video stores were flooded with post apocalyptic B movies were plentiful!
Love the stonesword key reference!
:)
I adore this film!!!!!
Extras from RAD??!!?! I'm not the only one who references that Classic?
I remember this one. One of the many movies i rented as a kid on VHS when browsing the local rental store. Don't think i've watched it since but always remember bits a pieces... the kid levitating the box car and landing it on one of the SS's head. Crunch. I think this was also the movie with the dude stuck in cement? Maybe not, feels like a scene you'd have showcased. The hero twisted his head to mercy kill him. Anyways... fun stuff.
Yeah, this is the one with the guy stuck in cement. I'm not sure why I didn't show that.
DUDE YOU PLAY DEADLANDS!!!! Super sweet. I have a group Saturday nights as well. It's so much fun and highly insane. I love it, and mainly because it's off the "Savage System" of rules.
Okay back to the video.
I've played Deadlands and HOE and while I like them both, I prefer HOE because of the PA setting. Have all the books but haven't been able to play in years. I'm curious about Lost Colony because I really like the idea of Deadlands in space.
@@GoodBadFlicks in our recent game, I did a tribute to your videos.
I had my Character her thrown out of three windows of the same house by a Mimic Piano.
It was for great cinematic effect and it worked very well.
My GM brought up Lost colony one time, but we went to Firefly (same SWADE ruleset), and with alot of absenteeism, and with the game got derailed very quickly, and we went back to Deadlands.
I love "Endgame" one of D'Amatos better films.
If there's one thing both movies have in common, it's their posters with a misleading amount of spiked shoulder pads and football helmets than there are in the films.
...they jus run into eachother and explode.
That is some awesome poster art. That movies never bother to make posters compelling stinks. It's all faces hanging around 90% of the time.
The "Not that Endgame" I had in mind (considering the channel reviews older films) was "Highlander: Endgame".
An absolutely atrocious film. Thankfully not as bad as the last film in the Highlander series...but that's the only good thing I have to say about it.
Hear me out: I have a soft spot for Highlander: Endgame. It's a directorial debut from a longtime assistant director and second unit director Douglas Aarniokoski (who worked with the director of the original Highlander, Russel Mulcahy on Resident Evil: Extinction, btw) and he did an inspired (if definitely not perfect) job with a material given. You can always trust Bruce Payne to chew every piece of scenery, Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert are rarely bad, Lisa Barbuscia (from the previous regular Good Bad Flicks episode, Serpent's Lair) was interesting and overall it had the Highlander vibe with colorful flashbacks intersecting with the miserable life immortals are carrying in the modern world. And there's also an awesome Donnie Yen, whose fight scene with Adrian Paul is really cool.
That said I'm a rare franchise fan who enjoys The Quickening, as well (there are some more, this fraction of a fandom is sometimes called Zeistians for obvious reasons), so I definitely have the acquired taste. Needless to say, none of the sequels are as good as the original (and, maybe, the TV show at its best) and The Source is still freaking approaching unwatchable.
@@PictureProductStudio
Honestly if taken as a "Made for TV" movie as part of the tv series, it's watchable...My big problem with it is how they:
1: Made Connor impotent by having him join that group of immortals who "gave up" after Rachel got killed.
2: Had him killed off in the most "saw it coming a mile off" way just for Duncan to gain enough "souls" to match the bad guy in strength. Having both fight him and one dying in the process would have made for a better film.
In my own headcanon, Connor was always superior to Duncan so I found that rather insulting.
But anyway I'm of the belief now that the tv series and movies 4-5 are part of their own timeline, so you'd have "Highlander/Highlander 3" in the same continuity, "TV/Endgame/The Source" in its own...and The Quickening is a nonsensical fanfiction.
EDIT: Oh and that weird French cartoon also has its own timeline I guess...One where the Kurgan obviously didn't exist since Ramirez is so prominent in it.
@@Darkdaej I totally agree about Connor, even though the series version is technically different from the movie one. As much as I love the fact that Lambert returned to the role and did what he could, it could've been handled much better.
The Quickening technically fits with the first and third movies, switching places chronologically with the latter, which becomes a weird bonus level before disc two in the grand scheme of the movies universe. Director's cut is also a lot better, especially since it removes planet Zeist and makes it what it was supposed to be in the script: distant, technologically advanced past.
I kinda liked the cartoon, but I haven't seen it since childhood and I have a feeling it doesn't hold up too good. Have you heard about a feature-length anime movie? There is one, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007). I haven't got to it myself, yet.
The elden ring reference caught me off guard 🤣
joe dmatos best,in my biast opinion,i love it,thanks for reviewing
This is the most important video on TH-cam
