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

Bodyguard Kiba 2 (ボディガード牙 必殺三角飛び), also known as Bodyguard Kiba 2, is a 1973 Japanese martial arts film starring Sonny Chiba. It is the sequel to the earlier 1973 film Bodyguard Kiba based on an action manga by Ikki Kajiwara. Etsuko Shihomi makes her screen acting debut, replacing actress Yayoi Watanabe in the role of Naoto Kiba's sister Maki. Shihomi had previously worked as a stunt double for Watanabe in the earlier film Bodyguard Kiba. The movie is also considered a break-through for Masashi Ishibashi, who would be asked by Sonny Chiba to play a major role in the 1974 movie The Street Fighter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
