Yeah. Kinda fits in (and besides, check out all those runners with
katanas under their long coats...). Though you can skip the 2nd
part...

rant
Now this rant is slightly off topic, but from what I've heard there
will be no Starship Trooper powered armour... I mean, it's like
Aliens without the Bugs... (Well, not really, but almost... :P ).

> I also like Lawnmower Man as an example of the Matrix.

Lawnmower Man is a very early Matrix (even before Echo Mirage)... But
still nice...

Also, not very related to SR, but a good movie if your campaign
heavily features Tir:
- Michael Collins

(About the Ireland...)

Also, for the close look at the munchkin character, all Steven Seagal
movies (Under Siege 1 and 2, Niko etc.). Still, I like them...

This is Jackie Chan.... Ohh... I forgot about Hong-Kong movies...
They are pretty munchy, too, but I can't really bear to watch them,
the same way I can't watch WWF...
I just can't suspend my disbelief so high... :P

Oh man, you're right! We all forgot about John Woo movies from HK!
The ones that I have seem are "The Killer" and "Hardboiled", both of
which would be good source material for SR. His Hollywood movies aren't
that great right now, but worth watching if you like John Woo. I just
hope that Chow Yun Fat makes it over here so he can work for Woo again!
Him and John Travolta in a Woo film would be pretty cool as Travolta
seems to be his new favorite actor.

I think "Hard Target" was a great film. Actualy Chance (Van Damme) is
a real munchin character... we've calculated most of his shot's to be
at least 8+ target numbers...

And Don't forget any Thomas Ian Griffith movie like "Excessive Force",
"Cracker Jack" or "Hollow Point"

BTW for a REAL Shadowrun like movie, try the Origianl "Nemesis"

I thought that "Nemesis" had more of a CyberPunk, R. Talsorian Games,
feel to it that an SR one. Some of the quotes, how things were done, etc
were very CyberPunk.

Not that I am saying I like CyberPunk over Sr.

Yeah. It's very gibsoid. But that's what SR is like. Just with magic...
