FF7 Advent Children
Magic, car chases, adept fighting. gun play. There's even a dragon and cyberware. Urban decay. and a MegaCorp (Shinra) is behind it all. Just needs a less fantasy setting and more modern. Rock a Rolla has the same problem as Ronin (and Smoking Aces) seams the film was inspired by SR but it's missing one or two elements |

Ooo, that's a really good suggestion. Watch that and say "Now switch the fantasy and sci-fi settings and you've basically got it." I don't remember a dragon though, unless maybe it was part of a summons.

QUOTE (Stahlseele @ Jun 2 2011, 11:18 PM) What about Judge Dredd? No, but it's just perfect for a Dark Heresy campaign focusing on Enforcers (Mutant Chronicles for Guard, and the much-persecuted Damnatus for the average DH campaign). |

Ugh Hayden Christiansen as Case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
Anyway I think if you are playing a very Pink Mohawk game something like Buckaroo Banzai might be a good inspiration. Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers make for great scientist/rocker/samurai action heroes. Plus the end credits! |

Here's a good one on how a team should work, again no magic/cyber but perfect interaction and "shadow" teamwork...

But not really a SR movie. Though a good example of "urban magic". |

I had never seen BTILC, but everyone has always hyped it as a cool / interesting / fun movie. So I saw it recently, and didn't like it at all. Maybe it's one of those nostalgia things, since I didn't see it as a kid or something.

It's a movie you can't take too seriously (but can take with plenty of alcohol). Unfortunately, yes, if you approach it being hyped up, it doesn't work.

Eh? Big Trouble in Little China had no connections to Buckaroo Banzai.
It was, however, originally written to be a period piece...kinda like Cowboys & Aliens. |

I was always under the impression that it was meant to be the sequel mentioned at the end of Buckaroo Banzai, "Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League". And then when that went no where they kicked it around a lot and came up with BTILC. But, urban legends run rampant so.... Still, both good films. |

Nemesis. Best example of style over substance ever. It also tends to be closer to how Shadowrun is actually played rather than some idealized notion of how you might want it to be played (i.e. Ronin).
If doing a double feature, I'd add in Mean Guns. These two point at very different types of Shadowrun, though. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. If you like your Shadowrun a bit... out there, you might try Immortal instead. |

As for the feel of SR 1-3 I would agree with Johnny Mnemonic and Strange Days
As far as SR4 is concerned, I wonder why nobody mentioned Babylon AD, which for me captures the SR4-feel perfectly. Also as a Runner up, Rennaissance should not go unmentioned. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386741/ |

As mentioned above...
Renaissance It doesn't have much in the way of cyberware or magic but it does put you in the shadows of a corporate world. |

New Rose Hotel Is the most obscure film I've seen that feels like a Shadowrun, Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe are a pair of fixers trying to extract a R&D scientist* from a Japanese Megacorp.
*played by Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D character designer Yoshitaka Amano |

It's obscure because it was kind of cruddy. The actors, setting, and even the plot of what they actually did is awesome, but the story is a pair of old dogs sitting in a safehouse bellyaching about how things *should* be, and the movie was just as engaging.

Okay, I'm charging you four hours for your two really cruddy movies (immortal was too weird for me to say whether it was 'cruddy' or not) and I'm charging Stahsteele four hours for his one doubly-cruddy movie. This is what I get for following dumpshock's movie suggestions. I just hope Dhoom doesn't disappoint. |
