    Uh, Runaway is only good as a movie to make fun of with friends.

    It has a scene where the bad guy (played by Gene Simmons of KISS) hacks into a police computer with a retinal scan by casually walking in and pulling a loose eyeball out of his pocket. Zero explanation.

      What explanation was needed? Or maybe he didn’t need to use the computer at all?

        An explanation of why he has the eyeball would be nice, but honestly the scene is hilarious without it.

          Oh ok. I thought he pulled an eyeball off a random police officer
