Yes Ocean's 11 was good...and The Professional was one of my favorite movies from back then.  I appreciate all the help.  Minority Report did have a great Street Doc in it.  I was basically tryin to find some movies for my fiance to watch...she is tryin to get into Shadowrun for my sake and I figured this would help her to better get a "feel" for what the world was like.  We did a few cheesy StufferShak runs, and now I'm gettin her ready for a little bit of a bigger run with my brother as well.  Although he's young so I have to keep my runs sorta PG-13ish.

PG-13 in Shadowrun? Huh, that might be interesting. ;)

Well I gotta keep any sexual content low...but other then that I'm pretty graphic with the killing.  He has a pretty bad ass troll I might add.  He was able to take a cannon blast to the head and was concious long enough to put a shotgun blast between his attackers eyes.  Then he fell out (he's my bro and he was gettin emotional his Troll was gonna die, I figured he could at least kill the guy who killed him).  But then I forgot he had a DocWagon contract so he was rushed to the closest ER and when we last left off he had just come home to his apartment broken into...looks like the guy he killed had friends...

Wait, you think Neverwhere is a good potrayal of shadowrun? I've read the book twice and listen to the audio adaptation once in a while, but I can't see where you are going with this one, Zone. I'm really curious as to your reasoning on this one.

Grungy and magic.  It was the only combo of the two I could think of.

So no one knows the Rutger Hauer movie?  I have to check indb myself?

Except for location and lack of magic, Firefly/Serenity was pretty  similar to Shadowrun:  They'd do a job and hope they didn't get screwed over by the person paying them.  And there were lots of guns.

Speaking of guns, did anyone already mention Equillibrium?

  Ahhh... gun kata.

It's funny you say that cuz I just blew the dust off the dvd and was going to watch it last night.  Now my question was how do you incorperate that into Shadowrun.  Would it like a physad or more of an unarmed combat thing.  Or would it be like and edge giving you +1 dice to pistols or something.  Any ideas?

Damn good point. In fact, the episode "Ariel" IS a shadowrun, plane and simple. You don't get more in-game then that one. It's my favorite.

When I made a character named Clerick John Preston for my brother, he was a physical adept with Improved Initiative, Improved Combat Skills (Pistols) and the ambidexterity 6 edge.

Everything else I let him worry about.

Hmmm...good idea.  I always wanted to make a character that had Gun Kata.  But from what I gathered it's almost a lifestyle.  Like a monk or something.  They dedicate their lives to perfecting it...so I'm tryin to figure out how I would resemble that in a shadowrun character.

Physads are supposed to basically be kung-fu monks, so that's what I went with. It was simple enough to make, it just made him really REALLY powerful. I don't ever want to see another character whip out 12 dice per shot EVER AGAIN. The only things he couldn't kill easily were powerful spirits and vehicles. Of course, he could damage them, but it took time.

PhysAds are a hell of a lot more than monks. Get a copy of SOTA '64 and check it out. THere is a bunch of PA information in that book.

Ah, yes.  The hospital job.  "Trash" was another good one.

Yep, forgot about that one. I believe that was one of the unaired episodes, thus, I haven't seen it as much. But you're right, damn good shadowrun.

It was in the box set.  I was never able to watch when Firefly was on (bad timing), so I've only really seen it on DVD.
