It's Arnie sent back from the future to save John or Arnie in the future to save himself. It's the T-1000 vs. Killian, Sub-Zero, and Captain Freedom in the villian role. Pick your favorite Schwarzenegger role.

[Batman]

This is a tough one. I'm going for Running Man because of the SF-ness of the black, dystopian satire. If this were the action movie showdown, I would have voted T2.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

This is tough. I'll have to use my old standby: which movie had the red-head kid from Diffrent Strokes? T2? Problem solved.

[Krydor]

Which movie had Richard Dawson? That's right, Running Man. T2, as I said on the other board, is inferior to the original Terminator.

Running Man was the first time I really got it drilled into my head in a big way that the book is 99% of the time gonna be better than the movie.
I love the story. The movie butchered it, and didn't even do well as its own, seperate story.
T2 gets the vote.

[Lori]

See Doc, I was going to go the exact opposite way. I have a soft spot in my heart for most movies made from King books, even if they suck in comparison (with the exception of The Shining, which I get irritated just thinking about). But against T2... I don't know. I loved both movies as a kid, although I was never really a Furlong fan. I'm going to have to think about this one.

Arnold + Ventura wins every time in my book.

[Loki]

Running Man. Call me a wiccan heathen, but while the Terminator movies are good I can take 'em or leave 'em.

[salmonjunkie]

Hey, I voted Terminator 2, but I've changed my mind. I want my vote to go to Running Man. That movie is better, it has Jesse The Body playing Captain Freedom, an fat old asian hockey goalie, Richard freaking Dawson, and it's a Stephen King short story, too!


Speaking of JEsse, did Demolition Man make the tourney?

[Batman]

Sadly, no. I think I may have been the only person to vote for it.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I think Demolition Man was on my ballot as well.

Just checked, it was. Number 11 on my list.

[Batman]

Well, then you rule.

Would you care to join me at Taco Bell?

[Lucky]

Hmmm... tacos.

I could live in a world where Tacos were regarded as the dominant food.

By the way, this has always been weird, but when Sly goes into the underground world and gets a beer and burger. And then he finds out the burger is rat and is ok with it. I've always been curious as to how bad that rat burger really was. I've had some shitty BBQ and disease aside it couldn't have been that bad.

[Batman]

Man, after you grind it up, and cook it well-done, and put ketchup and mustard and pickles and tomatoes on it, you don't know what the original meat would have tasted like anymore.

Man, I wish Demolition Man had made it to this showdown.

"He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!"

[Batman]

Keeping in mind that Thai changed his mind, this thing is actually 9 to 10. Even if Running Man loses, it put up a hell of a fight, considering what a big movie T2 is.

[The Canadian Content]

We're allowed to change our minds?

Thai is.
You are not.

[DevSop]

Locking this one, T2 wins 13-8.
