Indeed Victor was a cool character(in both). I'm quite surprised one didn't
turn up in mine either. Your right, I think Anne-Marie had a little more
energy plus a little "I really screwed by the Goverment now" crazyness.
But I think a like the New Orleans part and maybe the very end part better in
Assassin.

>Hard Target was that the one with Bishop from Aliens and II?

Yep. I can't remember his name right now. My favorite part is when Chance
kicks the gas can and shoots it with the shotgun. It doesn't get cheesier.

That would be awsome if Speilburg did a Doctor Who movie! Obviously he
have a problem stopping the evil Horrors from destroying the Earth and
eating all of humanity.

Jani asked if Blade Runner and Sneakers had been mentioned giving both ****.

I had already mention Blade Runner(*****) and can't believe I didn't remember
Sneakers(****). You should force all runners who think killing all the guards
is an effective way to raid a corp to watch this movie. Personally, I'd give
out 20 karma if the runners even attempted anything these people did in this
movie! They didn't use guns or anything. (Wistful look in U-Gene's eye)

PS. After P Wards recommendation, I have decided to re-review Alien(I) since
it has been about 6 years since I've seen it.
