The movie came out in 1998, and the episode first aired in the fall of 1997. Those who watched _Cleopatra 2525_ may recall the episode that was definitely an homage to _Run Lola Run_: "Run Cleo Run", which was directed by TJ Scott and ended up being my favorite episode of the series by far. Even though it quoted some scenes almost verbatim from the film it did a very clever turn with the story, and was one of the best episodes from a production and direction standpoint. I also find it interesting that the next film that Franke Potente (Lola) did was called _The Princess And The Warrior_. I haven't seen it myself yet, but I hear it doesn't have anything to do with X:WP. I just like the title. :) > I had herd it did very well at the cairn film festival If you mean Cannes, then yes, it did quite well. :) It's one of my very favorite movies, and has one of the best soundtracks of recent years (if you like techno music, anyway :).
