The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Ma Su Chen aka Rebel Boxer or Bloody Struggle is a 1972 Taiwanese film directed and co-written by Ting Shan-hsi who also directed and wrote the film Furious Slaughter 1972. It is a martial arts film starring Nancy Yen, Jimmy Wang Yu, and Sally Chen. It is a sequel to Furious Slaughter 1972, in which Jimmy Wang Yu plays the lead role. It was released in Hong Kong on 14 June 1972 but in Taiwan on 30 May 1972. Apparently, the cast mentioned in Rotten Tomatoes is based on another version of Ma Su Chen (1972) because it listed two additional stars, Richard Harrison and Hwang Jang Lee, not found in other cast list of the same movie.
