THE RUNNING MAN (1987)
For every good Stephen King adaptation — Carrie, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption — there exists a bad one. Paul Michael Glaser's directing effort features Arnold Schwarzenegger as a wrongly convicted cop partaking in a morbid futuristic TV game show, and subsequently skirting stalkers and chainsaws alike. Set in the year 2017, the film is about as lampoonish and moronic as most reality TV is today. It's the wrong kind of prescient.
