The Running Man (1987)

So, what did happen to Buzzsaw? "He had to split," replies Arnie in his relentlessly mechanical manner. Everyone's favourite Austrian is a man wrongfully imprisoned for mass murder and sent on a game show where people bet on the time and harbinger of his death. The "Runners" are sadistic heroes with ridiculous names such as Captain Freedom, Dynamo, Fireball, Buzzsaw and, of course, Subzero – who becomes "plain zero!" Oh Arnie, how we miss thee so.
