And then there's Underworld and it's sequel. Yeah, it more fits to White wolf's World of Darkness, ho-hum, but Lycanthropes, Vampires, and urban/grudge gun-toting rogue elements of society are present. That's just Shadowrun with a dose of HMHVV. Or failing that, fighting the supernatural and spirits. . .

I would agree to a certain extent that Underworld and the sequel are Shadowrunish movies.  They definately had the feel to them!

I heard the people who made Underworld got into some trouble because people thought they had ripped of White Wolf's WoD

Well, one werewolf/vampire movie is pretty much the same as all others. It's not a very deep genre.

I think it should, bad science aside.

Of course, given that consideration, most of Arnie's movies count as SR-type movies.

That's more sci-fi. I was thinking Commado.

You know I honestly don't think I've actually seen that movie.

Uhhh... I wouldn't rent it, or pay money to see it, but if it happened to be on TV, and the remote was too far out of my reach, and I was too tired to actually get up and change the channel, I might watch it.

;D

But that's saying something. It's a fun watch, but it resembles more of a "ooh, I have a troll street sam! Let's go find some victims!" than anything else.

Damn that's funny.  I don't think I'll waste my time watching it then.  And your feelings towards "oh I have a troll street sam lets find victims" is EXACTLY how my brother is when he plays.  Only now its "ooh, I got a dwarf vampire with cyberware and I'm fully loaded on my essence, let's go kill some people anyway"

Hey, it's 80s action movies at thier finest. But if you didn't like 80s action movies... well, then you probably wouldn't like it. I know I didn't. But it was a pretty Shadowrun movie.

I might be able to strap myself into a chair with Nike in my lap and watch it...
