7. Murderous Game Show Villain (The Running Man)
Awesomeness Level: 8/10. Pretty much every job in the demented TV-show-within-a-film The Running Man would have been awesome, from editing the brutal kills for maximum, gory efficiency (and therefore higher ratings), to the guy who gets to mop up the broken remains of the eviscerated contestants. Working as the host would have been great, but you can go one step better by playing one of the villains, all of whom are gimmicked in the style of larger-than-life professional wrestlers, complete with a daft nickname, ridiculous attire and outlandish catchphrases. You're generally strong enough that 99.9% of all contestants - who are convicts that are offered freedom if they can survive - can be killed before the end of the game, that is, until Arnold Schwarzenegger crashes the party.
Risk of Death: 10/10. Up until Arnie turns up, your risk of death would be about 1/10, but his superb physical conditioning means that you
are going to die, and it's going to be extremely violent and painful.
