Someone posted on the "need to know" community board a question.

Hey last month I got the Logan's Run TV series on DVD, and I thought maybe it
was what I saw on TV long ago but turns out I never saw this series before and
confused it with something else.
Note that I am a HUGE Logan's Run fan and have had the movie on VHS and DVD for
years. Only learning there was a TV series about 12-13 years ago or so.
Now what I remember is kinda mixed up in my memory banks so bear with me.
I remember an old movie that had a couple that were escaping from someone or
something and they were linked together by some kind of collars around their
necks so that if one of them got more than so many feet from the other it would
blow both their heads off. That isn't the movie but I throw that in because it's
like (sorta like) the movie I'm remembering. I'd like the title to this one
regardless but
The movie I remember is actually older than the one mentioned above and it isn't
Logan's Run TV series or pilot episode.
This one also had a couple of people escaping from some sinister place,
government, or whatever and I just remember this one little scene; they were
wearing something that was like a tracking device (I doubt very seriously they
called them GPS in that day and age but it was basically the same thing) like
the tracking devices the Sandmen used in Logan's Run to locate Runners.
Anyway, this couple or some people were running outside away from their pursuers
and they stopped by a river or creek of some kind and took off their tracking
devices and carefully placed them on something that would float and sent those
devices on their way down the river and then continued to run in the other
direction or off to wherever.
Does anyone know what that movie (or made-for-TV movie) was called?

It's funny how this theme has been reused in sci-fi films throughout the decades.
I also thought of 'Parts: The Clonus Horror' initially, but it doesn't END that way.
Speaking of plot similarities, there's a detailed comparison between Clonus and The Island: http://blip.tv/goodbadflicks/clonus-vs-the-island-good-bad-flicks-7130403
Any luck finding the one(s) you've been looking for?

THX-1138 ends like that. It's Robert Duvall as the main character. He drives a car through a tunnel and escapes, then climbs up a pipe where he opens a hatch and sees the sunrise.
I'm just expressing my opinion.
You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.

It's not "City of Ember" is it because that's almost exactly how that ends

no judging from the youtube trailers I'm quite sure that isn't it.
the film in mind is not particularly a B flick, but there is I believe a sunrise at the end when the protagonist emerges from a hatch.
time for me t do some more digging it is possible I have a movie or 2 mixed up?

I know what the poster is talking about unfortunately I can't recall the name either. They were escaping form an underground city via a tunnel system and they got out to see the sun rising which was the end of the film.

The first movie you talked about sounds like "Wedlock" with Rutger Hauer. The second one sounds less familiar. Do you have any more details?
