Richard Murken

Richard Murken has a pretty wild mix of credits, honestly. If you dig into his filmography, three movies pop out right away: Innerspace (1987), The 6th Day (2000), and Virus (1999). Innerspace is that trippy sci-fi comedy where Dennis Quaid gets shrunk down and injected into Martin Short. It’s like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but with way more weird science, Cold War vibes, and slapstick chaos. Honestly, the movie’s all over the place—in a good way. You get secret agents, shady government types, and a lot of running around as they try to get Quaid’s character back to normal size before time runs out. It’s part action flick, part cartoon, and it never really slows down. Then there’s The 6th Day, which is pure Arnold Schwarzenegger, late-90s, peak-Y2K paranoia. Cloning, shady corporations, and all sorts of “what does it mean to be human?” questions get thrown at you. Schwarzenegger’s character finds out he’s been cloned, and things spiral into shootouts and existential crisis mode. If you’re into sci-fi thrillers with a lot of explosions and some genuinely weird moments, this one’s for you. Virus (1999) is a different beast—think horror, but with a tech twist. A group of people stuck on a ship discover a killer alien intelligence that’s taken over the electronics and wants to wipe out the human crew. Lots of jump scares, creepy robot monsters, and that classic late-90s vibe where technology is both fascinating and terrifying. Murken’s work runs the gamut from goofy to gritty, and he’s been part of some seriously memorable cult classics.
