- smarusich, on 08/14/2008, -1/+70No Running Man?
- scooby0110, on 08/14/2008, -1/+33Bummed out for no "Running Man"
- pstroll, on 08/14/2008, -1/+23Any top 10 most gruesome scifi death sports list without "The Running Man" is not a top 10 most gruesome scifi death sports list.
- barcelona10, on 08/14/2008, -1/+14I'm really glad they have Death Race 2000 on this list. That movie is so disturbing yet enjoyable.
- gametavern, on 08/14/2008, -1/+13Running Man: I'd live to see you eat that contract. But I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach!
- compgeek, on 08/14/2008, -0/+11No Running Man? those were the ultimate in sci fi death sports
buried for no running man - neuroticfish, on 08/14/2008, -0/+10No Battle Royale?
- bentman78, on 08/14/2008, -1/+10Rollerball FTW...the old one not the new one.
- malex, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7Goddammit, there's no love for Ruger Hauer's masterpiece "The Blood of Heroes."
Lord Vile, I've broken Juggers in half, smashed their bones, left the ground behind me wet with brains. There's nothing I wouldn't do to win. But I never hurt anyone for any reason other than sticking a dog's skull on a stake. - LogicBomB, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7Sure it's an import but Battle Royal was pretty ***** neat:
"You all suck at school, so we drugged you and threw you on an island. Take your random weapon and go and kill each other. In 3 days if more than 1 of you lives, you all die by way of exploding collar we've pimped you all out in. Cheers" - chocobomog, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7Running Man is the closest thing we will ever get to a live action Mega Man film. Mega-Arnold must travel through thematically designed levels of villains like Opera-Man, Ice-Man, Flamethrower-Man, Chainsaw-Man before defeating a crazy old dude who laughs maniacally on TV.
Plus it's written by Stephen King.
Shame on you for not including it. - ncc74656m, on 08/14/2008, -1/+7Buried for inaccuracy. It was nothing more than a glorified (or gore-ified) version of Gladiator which many people consider some sort of whacked out sports.
- Alex2, on 08/14/2008, -0/+5They're missing half the Star Trek TOS episodes where Kirk or Spock has to battle to the death for some silly reason.
*ADD DRAMATIC DEATHMATCH TREK MUSIC HERE* - Belldanime, on 08/14/2008, -1/+5What about Grifball?
Ok, just kidding. - drlha, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3I miss old Arnold.
- Fleagleman, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3"I think we can all agree that we'd like to forget The Phantom Menace, but you can't deny that the podracing scene was pretty cool."
Well, I can deny it. That's one of the reasons I want to forget The Phantom Menace.
Oh, and thanks for not making a new template, Gizmodo. I wouldn't want you to work too hard. Were the designers off that week? - PleaseJustDie, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Well The Game wasn't a sport either, it was a Game. And it wasn't even a Death Sport, wouldn't that require someone dying? Granted being drugged and left for dead in a cemetery in Mexico and driving him crazy enough to try to shoot himself and jump off a roof is pretty ***** up, but hey he got a t-shirt out of it.
And if that can make the list (which is a great movie btw, if you haven't seen it, see it) then The Running Man should be on it. - ahhell, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3..and break your goddamn SPINE!!!!!
- mrshickadance9, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3no running man? no battle royale?
this list is garbage. - slundal, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3How can Star Trek Voyagers "Tsunkatse" not be on the list?
- Fleagleman, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2I don't think anyone is really clammoring for a live-action Mega Man film.
- Wrathernaut, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2What about Running Man?
- analogkid01, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2This list featured movie and TV, but what about in literature? Stephen King's "Long Walk" was the first thing that came to my mind.
- boran, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2Battle Royale ?
Edit:
Whoops, someone was before me. - thegreenspanput, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3apology not accepted.
- Desolite, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2You must... Knarfle the Garthog!
- manmademark, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g82yZXXpxY8
- bigp3rm, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2What about when Flash Gordon plays Arborian Roulette. Where he sticks his arm in that stump and faces the wood beast.
On Arboria, there is an extremely nasty little creature called a wood beast. As natural selection would have it, the animal is a nothing more than a lump of flesh with a long tail tipped by a poisonous stinger. Wood beasts are not cuddly and even their own mothers do not love them. As a result, they are exceedingly foul-tempered. The warriors of Arboria keep one inside a hollow stump in the temple. After the priest beats on the stump with a stick (just to make sure the inhabiting wood beast is plenty pissed off), you play Arborian Roulette by choosing a hole and sticking your arm in. Pick the wrong hole and you get a handful of wood beast. The wood beast does not like to be touched any more than a rational person wants to grab something that is slimy and equipped with a scorpion's tail. The point of the game is not to find the wood beast. - SushiCW, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Been done. Lots.
http://www.toptentoptenlists.com/ - JakeBC, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2I was going to mention that one but you beat me to it. Awesome movie! Well worth watching for anyone who hasn't seen it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094764/
- fquednau, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Thanks for reminding me!
- t4stringer, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1haha, great list. I'll have to go watch some of these now
- NeoCortex, on 08/14/2008, -1/+2How about "Deathball" from the year 3000
- ObiNguyen, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Running Man and Hard Target FTW
- chocobomog, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Hard Target is just a modified version of "The Most Dangerous Game" starring a Belgium kickboxer with a mullet.
Yet, it is still fun. Although Timecop may be more appropiate of a Sci-Fi film for this list. - PleaseJustDie, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1***** hard target, give it honorable mention and resort the list to add Running Man.
- rgough, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1100 quatloos on the newcomer!!!
- Volatile, on 08/14/2008, -1/+2Stop bitching and bury it.
- pilesAREbetter, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Where's Robot Jox?
- jameskong15, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1The lack of Cube and Battle Royale (though this one could be considered lacking in Scifi I guess) is disturbing.
- AlienHairball, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1I just searched through the comments here to make sure someone pointed out the glaring omission of "The Blood of Heroes"! Man I need to get a copy of that movie - haven't seen it in years. The friends of mine that first showed me the movie always called the sport dog-ball. :)
- zoethebitch, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1That scene in Rollerball where James Caan's teammate gets sucker punched in the back of the skull still gives me shivers.
- zomgwaffles, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1Thunder Dome (Mad Max)?
or
Blood of Heroes http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094764/ - dejanigma, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!
ADD The Running Man and Battle Royale!!! - mnky9800n, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Since when was the pod race scene the good part of The Phantom Menace?
- wooderson23, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1I guess this isn't really scifi so I take it back.
- BigPapi, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Did this guy even watch The Game? Since when the ***** is being the ceo of a company and owning a 7 series and a giant mansion/estate considered middle class? And he didn't enter the game voluntarily. His brother set him up!
