Nah because unlike trying to hunt Arnold in his prime (which really dumb to hunt a guy that looks like he benches brick shit houses never mind being one) people would probably be happy with the crime reduction and the kids being unmolested by pride parades.
Oh, I'm not arguing against it. The movie has basically nothing in common with the short story. In the latter, he's running across the countryside and there's audience participation. If a civilian sees him and calls into the hunters with a tip they end up acting on, the civ gets put into a cash lotto or wins a toaster or something.
That's the plot of the Running Man short story. Though, if you're hunting niggers and commies, I don't think it can end with 9/11, unlike the book.

Now I kinda wanna try my hand at writing a story that's part OG Running Man, part Western. Wanderers going around collecting bounties.
