Note: If you're not familiar with the Feng Shui role-playing game, it's based on countless kung fu and pulp-style action movies. The world is divided into two kinds of people: Named Characters, who have complete stats and access to phenomenal powers, skills and abilities, and Mooks, nameless redshirts who exist to be defeated in awe-inspiring numbers by the fantastically powerful Named Characters. Kill Bill makes extensive use of this property of cinematic physics.
Note: Blue Planet is another in an endless stream of role-playing games. I've never played it. I know nothing about it except that it's a sci fi game set on an alien planet. And, apparently, it involves dolphins with fricking laser beams....
