Run For The Money

A Japanese game show from the early 2000s in which celebrity contestants race against time to try to outmaneuver and avoid capture by pursuing black-clad ‘Hunters’ for a chance to win an ever-increasing cash prize. A similar show called “Cha$e” was based on this and broadcast in 2008 on the Sci Fi Channel.
