Only because of the rarity of such a coupling in mainstream movies (Asian male lead / Black female lead), I always considered Ninja Assasin with Naomie Harris and Rain to be an updated, international [budget, settings, effects, storyline] reboot of RMD.

Aaliyah was truly a beauty.

An aside: this movie convinced me to get Jet Li's 'Rise to Honor' video game for PS2 when it came out, and it incorporated [ie ripped off] a lot of scenes from RMD lolololol
