Both Rollerballs have some that could contribute, I'm sure. Though, I have heard a lot of people didn't like the remake, but me I enjoyed it. Not an all-time favorite, but something I could sit down and watch again. The original though, does get a higher ranking. There is another movie, that was done in a direct to video release, got some play on TV as well. Future Sport. Starring Dean Cain, Vanessa L. Williams, Wesley Snipes. It's about a world where your 'popularity index' is everything, and Future Sport is a game that started off as a way to keep gangs from fighting and is now the world's most popular sport. It even has terrorists and a number of action sequences, but as for how the movie was received.. It seems to be split by reviews I've seen. Either you loved it or you hated it. |

Children Of Men has quite a bit of Sixth World-like flavor.

Alright, I just finished watching the horror movie Pulse and I must say it is very good. But it got me a thinking, what would happen if that were to hit the world in the '70s, what with everything being contolled wirelessly. It's a scary thought and an excellent campaign idea.... :vegm:

If you run a low-level campaign you might have fun watching Prayer of the Rollerboys http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102703/
Lot of fun stuff in that one, not to mention a newspaper headline "Germany buys Poland" |

I was just thinking that NPCs based on characters from Big Lebowski would make great contacts. Just give Donny and Roger some kind of appropriate knowledge or active skills, and go to town.
The Dude would be a great story contact, but giving him any kind of effective skill would totally ruin the character. :D |

Yeah, the Dude could give the PCs nudges when they can't figure out the plot:
The Dude: I dropped off the money exactly as per... look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know? The Big Lebowski: What in God's holy name are you blathering about? The Dude: I'll tell you what I'm blathering about... I've got information man! New shit has come to light! And shit... man, she kidnapped herself. Well sure, man. Look at it... a young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times, you know, and she, uh, uh, owes money all over town, including to known pornographers, and that's cool... that's, that's cool, I'm, I'm saying, she needs money, man. And of course they're going to say that they didn't get it, because... she wants more, man! She's got to feed the monkey, I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir? |

I just finished watching a great french future punk movie called District B 13. It is set in 2010 and it has amazing shots that totally create the feel of the barrens to a T and also it creates this government fucking over the people plot that I really like. It also has really good foot chase scenes that make for some amazing adept ideas. I definitely recommend giving this movie a look at if you get a chance.

There are quite a few people who creamed themselves at the idea of making a Parkour adept after watching it.
