Seems like fist of the northstar may have had a visual influence on early rifts art.

Trivia:
After poor initial box office returns, was packaged as a double feature with the similarly under-performing Wizards (1977).

Never seen the whole thing. Local video stores only had a a few scattered between them, all of them the tape was stuffed somewhere around 30 minutes in. Another I'm going to have to watch in the next few days. ;]

Fist of the North Star, wasn't a fan. Sorry.

Just watched the WATCHMEN tie-on animated movie 'Tales of the Dark Freighter' and decided it fits just perfectly with how Minion War encounters on the high seas either on Rifts Earth or in Beyond the Supernatural should be played out atmosphere-wise/brooding heavy overtones of horror.

Than the Sage among his Books,

The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

More a pre-Rifts movie, not post apocalyptic enough.

actually the data storage implant shows up in rifts japan.. though it doesn't have the drawbacks of the film.

interesting fact.. Johnny Mnemonic was loosely based on a short story by william gibson, one of several set in the same universe as his Neuromancer novel series.. the female bodyguard in the film is basically standing in for Neuromancer's "molly millions", who fills the same role in the story. the film also created the NAS and cure plot element whole cloth to explain what the main character was carrying, since it was never detailed in the story.

The only drawback was that Johnny way exceeded his storage limit.

Battle Beyond the Stars is gonzo enough. Might be a better example of a Three Galaxies game.

Robot Jox is notable for its giant walker fight scenes.

I love it! With a little embelishment we have:
Harvey Keitel's character is a Preacher. Let's say Tarantino's character is a Wired Gunslinger and George Clooney's is a Gunfighter.
Savini (The guy with the crotch gun accessory) is a Headhunter, Williamson (The black guy) is a Juicer and Juliette Lewis is a first level Vampire Slayer. (Though probably jumps up to Level 3 and nearly to 4 by the end :D)
