@Duluth arguably one of the stronger influences of the whole Manchester scene..even played with Ian Brown (Stone Roses) a few time too

You got it. Classic flick.
Wow I didn't even remember him. Great film though
Yeah I’d say it’s Arnies most underrated to be honest. Awesome flick
Great star turn by Richard Dawson(?), of Hogan's heroes fame
The whole thing is awesome. Who else but Arnie could deliver a line like “there’s Sub Zero, now plain zero !”…..
A supporting cast of Yaphet Kotto, Jesse the Body Ventura and of course the recently departed Jim Brown doesn’t hurt either. Easily one of my absolute favourite Arnie flicks, I love a good dystopian future 80s romp….and as you say Dawson plays such a good creepy bad guy.
I’m amazed Hollywood hasn’t done a shitty remake to be honest.

I haven't seen it, but that movie series with Jennifer Lawrence sounds like a woke version

Jim Brown personified ‘yards after contact’
Amazing balance, strength, power & pace
He was great in ‘Mars Attacks’ too

I only really know him from a handful of flicks and even in a suit and tie at the start of the Running Man ( before he changed into his fireball outfit ) you could tell he was an elite athlete. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest he was a top football player.

I see him trending on Twittness.
What he do?
-
His brother has been convicted of being a paedo but apparently the more shocking thing is that he and his co-presenter no longer get along and he has resigned 😳
-
@Catogrande righto. Yeah. OK.

Jim Brown, football great and activist, dies at 87
Jim Brown, one of the greatest professional and college football players of all time, "passed peacefully" in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night, his family said.
I wasn't born when he played, but they say he was one of the greatest running backs ever. I remember him in the Dirty Dozen though, it was probably quite a strong role for a black man in America at that time. He was one of a crop of prominent socially aware black athletes at the time, Ali, Abdul Jabar among others.
It says something about his ability and impact that footage makes it look like tackling was an optional extra in the NFL when Jim played.

Yup. In an era that most pundits agree was much tougher than now. He was Bo Jackson, before Bo Jackson

IIRC, Macca singled him out for high praise - which speaks volumes for his talent
