What does Stranger Things have in common with the goofy post-apocalyptic schlock of The Running Man?
A new poster for Stranger Things teases the adventures of Police Chief Jim Hopper, while offering a tip of the hat to the classic ’80s Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie The Running Man.
As part of its #StrangerThursdays campaign, the Stranger Things Twitter account tweeted an image based on the iconic poster for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ’80s flick The Running Man that casts Jim Hopper as an action hero.
For a lot of people though, Stranger Things strikes just the right balance between originality and homage.
