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.

How it feels

A kung fu hero takes on a villainous fighter named Tiger. The hero's brother also gets involved. The movie has silly dubbing and over-the-top fight scenes.

What happens

Karado: The Kung Fu Flash is a 1973 martial arts action drama film starring Cheung Nick, that has also been released under various other titles, including Karado: The Hong Kong Cat, Superior Youngster and Super Kung Fu Kid. Bolo Yeung (of Enter the Dragon fame) co-stars as the villainous Tiger, and James Nam has a supporting role as the hero's brother, Man Ho. Other industry stalwarts such as Yuen Biao and Mars, also appear in early roles, as thugs. As with other martial arts films of the era, criticism is aimed at the hilarious dubbing, and nonsense fights. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
