TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When Rob Cohen purchased the rights to the Richard Bachman novel "The Running Man", he had no idea that Bachman was actually a pseudonym for Stephen King.

Many people who worked with Richard Dawson on the game show Family Feud (1976) say that in real life Dawson was more like his character Damon Killian in his handling of underlings.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for governor, he rode around in a campaign bus and named it after this film.

Erland van Lidth ("Dynamo") was a classically trained Helden baritone opera singer, so in his introduction when Dynamo is singing an aria from "The Marriage of Figaro", it actually is van Lidth singing. This was also his final movie, as well as that of Richard Dawson (Damon Killian).

The film inspired TV's American Gladiators (1989) as well as the plot and settings of the Williams arcade game Smash TV (1990).

Popular Dialogues

"Damon Killian: [1:10:37] There are still two crack stalkers out there. Dynamo and Fireball. Who do you think will make the next kill? Elderly Lady: Oh, boy. That's a tough one. Damon Killian: Come on. You can do it. Who do you think? Elderly Lady: Okay, I think the next kill will be made by... Ben Richards. Damon Killian: Agnes, Richards is a runner. You gotta pick a stalker. Elderly Lady: I can pick anyone I choose. And I choose... Ben Richards. That boy's one mean motherfucker."

"Ben Richards: Killian, here's your Subzero, now plain zero."
