The following have been quite inspirational for me. They focus on the adept/magician side of SR, as opposed to the tech. I liked them all, though some were better than others. Enjoy.
Batman Begins (Liam Neeson as an adept mentor, the League of Shadows as a Twisted adept magical group....possibly a remnant of the Hand of Corruption from ED?) Equilibrium (worth watching just for the "Gun Kata"....been trying to figure how to make this work in SR) Hellboy (another magical group, funded as a UCAS FBI black bag operation. This movie also great for Call of Cthulhu) The Hunted (Christopher Lambert version. Good for "montage" karma points!) The Ninth Gate (shades of the "Al Azif" bequest from Dunkelzhan? Another good one for Call of Cthulhu) Unbreakable (a middle aged man, who has rejected his Gift his whole life, suddenly Awakens to his powers. Immunity to Normal Weapons, Immunity to Pathogens/Toxins, boosted strength, mystic armor, some sort of sixth sense, Weakness (Water) |
