Chainsaw in the running man

[PUClimber]

So I just so happened to just get done watching The Running Man movie with Arnold. What a classic and one of the stalkers buzz saw is clearly one handing a chainsaw while driving a dirtbike. Through all the shots though I was trying to figure out what make and perhaps model saw it was. It's an older model saw with no chain brake. I am leaning towards an old homelite or Mac but am unsure. Just a little food for thought if any of you buzzers can recall the movie or recall this section of the movie.

I googled "running man chainsaw" but didn't find a model listed. There are Utubes that you might be able to freeze frame or do a screen capture/Grab.

Tom,
I was able to freeze it and look at it pretty close as I have all the fancy bells and whistles on the dvr and couldn't come up with anything.

PUC, you may have to play detective and use the movie credits to scour for info on that saw!

Hammond & Gage Chainsaw

The Chainsaw used by "Buzzsaw" Eddie Bitowski (Gus Rethwisch) is unknown. But in the scene where Buzzsaw is introduced to audience and in the end credits voicover, it is mentioned as "Hammond & Gage Chainsaw". It was also mentioned that it was made from durasteel covered with teflon It's also said, that this chainsaw was modified specially for Buzzsaw to cut almost everything (what he demonstrated by cutting metal). Buzzsaw's Honda motorcycle has special mount to place his chainsaw.
