I mean, if that's not the Shadowrun game you play in, I don't think you're doing it right.

I was ready to agree with you, until I discovered that you had not linked to Versus.

~J

I need to see both movies.

be warned, when you see Versus. it's... man. it's different.

hmm, versus sounds like one hell of a movie!

and that smokin' aces sounds interesting to, in a "shit hits the fan" kinda way

Never heard of that flick before. Gotta check it out, it sounds good.

Kage, you fool. you've doomed them all!

~J

Those crazy japanese…

Bah I'm looking foward to this, the video is the closest thing to a decent trailer they have so far.

Gene Generation has hackers, genetic engineering, seedy fixers, and sassy ladies. Now if YOUR last session wasn't like this then you are aren't even close to doing it right!

Oooh! Sounds like the Digital Burn trailer, only more lame.

i dunno. it looks like it walks the fine line between cool and "as you know..."

well since everyone has a different idea on what a good shadowrun style of movie is out now or going to come out...how about everyone give their own ideas. I got a few you guys can debate and try not to include any personal prejudice to actors/actresses.

I personally did not like versus, but hey i loved the concept, just not the delivery. I do want to see smoking aces. I do have no rule to declare is that Blade Runner not to be put in here because I think everyone can agree that is what started it all and a pretty good movie anyways. alright here we go:

Renaissnce - Futuristic Setting and great amimation and cast, it does not have to do with anything relating to a shadowrun, but it has corps and such.

Johnny Nemonic - it reminds me of the D&D movie that came out. A good idea that just didnt get executed the best way, but I would rather watch that than the D&D movie.

Heat - The shadowrunner team at its core and WHERE IS THE VAN?! THE VAN IS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE!!

It is pretty late at night, but what other good shadowrunner movie can we debate about...

oh um add maybe for heat the Ocean's Eleven and Twelve for the team getting together and such...

Avalon is well worth a look. It's subtitles unless you understand polish, but a bloody brilliant matrix-heavy setting.

I'm a fan of Serenity and the Firefly series, and I think that it has a lot of common elements with SR. Although no out & out magic, it does have a psychic, an HMHVV type of thing going on, and a good mix of high-tech and primitive living. Most importantly to me, it has a group of outcasts who make a living by committing crimes while trying to stay a step ahead of monolithic oppressive powers that be.

I'll try to check out all of these great suggestions, though.

Just to say it, Firefly was awesome. Such a shame it got cancelled this early.

And I too always believed it had that shadowrunny outlook (not the background, of course).

Personally, I found it uninteresting bordering on unwatchable, but each to their own.

Versus is nothing like Shadowrun, nor is it very good. It's convoluted and absurdly long (not to mention down right boring it parts) for what it is. While most of the action in it is passable, it's still not worth watching.

Man, I tried watching Versus. I didn't get past the first scene where the escapees meet some other felons. It didn't help that it sounded like every male character was dubbed by the same voice actor. Unless their lips were moving I couldn't tell who was talking.

From what I saw (samurai vs. zombies in a forest) it wasn't a thing like Shadowrun. Or at least, like any Shadowrun sourcebook I've ever read.

I have a version of Versus without subtitles.

I haven't watched it yet, but when I do will I be missing anything important?

I haven't seen the dubbed version, but yeah, I'd imagine it would probably make the whole thing less pleasant. I'm not sure why dubbing seems to be such a difficult thing to do…

~J

No, I meant I have a version with no subtitles and no dubbing.

Dubbing means cutting out roughly half of the original preformance by the actors and replacing it with preformances by (usually) less talented actors speaking in a language that is out of context for the story and trying to sync it with lips originally speaking completely different words … *gasps for air* Somehow I don't find it surprising that it's a hard thing to do well.

Well, from what I saw of the movie, I doubt subtitles would have saved it for me. Of course, if anyone is so sure it's a great movie they want to mail me a copy, PM me for my address.

That's about what I figured.

You would be missing a great deal. I mean, you wouldn't even know why all the Yakuza zombies were trying to kill people.

Why are you all laughing?

~J

Because we don't care.

Oh ome on now. La Blue Girl make s alot more sense when you understand that Miko Mido is the daughter of the Shikima King.

After seeing Versus, I must say that I want a sword that has a laser sight.

sword with a laser sight? Man, I really have to see that movie, it's been sitting on my shelf collecting dust. Question, is it better to break open the vodka while watching this movie or will beer suffice?

Could it be?

The last "shadowrun movie" I saw was some horrid live action video made as a GenCon Promo back in the late 80's or early 90's...

Take this as you may, but I give you this quote, which comes from the official Shadowrun FAQ, released just yesterday ...

You know, that (VG) means that it is the videogame.

My last Shadowrun movies where the contestants for last years Shadowrun short movie contest. Most were pretty enjoyable .
