If you want to be a contestant on The Running Man, send a SASE to IBS Talent Hunt and then go out and do something really despicable.

That's gold. I really feel like the movie could have used more gags like that to be honest. They really could have satirized the shit out of TV and pulled punches for some reason.

I liked the ones that forced the movie title into the song even though it didn't make any sense, e.g. Paul McCartney's "Spies Like Us."

YES! I just started the thread. Take it over there. I'm going to come up with some more examples tomorrow. There are dozens.

Not a great promotional poster, but a pretty damn good one.

Jesus I didn't realize Don Winslow co-wrote it. I'm going to be looking forward to this (if I have Internet access by Thursday, which isn't a sure thing at this point).

But that's a whole other stressful bag of flaming shit I don't want to get into right now.
