Who Is The Best Stalker In The Running Man?

[BigPoppaNasty]

My fiancee and I have been debating this for the past few days. In the 1987 classic, "The Running Man," which stalker is the best? 

We were trying to use the following criteria:

- Gimmick
- Weaponry/Outfit
- Charisma
- Effectiveness
- Lines

I arrived at this ranking.

1. Buzzsaw
2. Dynamo
3. Captain Freedom
4. Fireball
5. Sub-Zero

What are your thoughts?

Ben Richards. That boy is one mean motherf***er.

please
the ONLY one that survived the menace of ben richards AND beat his sorry ass too



and don't believe any crap that it was "old footage" or "they put a new face on him" nonsense!

Dynamo, because he can sing too.

I think Buzzsaw gets the nod at the top for me because of his fight with Richards.

"I love this saw! This saw is a part of me... AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT PART OF YOU!!!"

He has an absolutely insane look on his face every time he's on camera, the chainsaw and motorcycle combo is badass, and he's the only stalker (aside from CGI Cap) who takes any major damage and actually keeps fighting. As soon as Dynamo loses power, he becomes a total coward. Same with Fireball. Buzzsaw gets flung off a motorcycle then has a chainsaw/fistfight with Richards.

Dynamo was my favorite from the first time I watched. Buzzsaw may be tough and crazy, but a chainsaw is just a boring weapon compared to lightning bolts or exploding hockey pucks.

My favourite film of all time.

And I love the John parr song at the end

BTW next year is the year the story takes place in (the original novel that is, the film took place in 2017).
