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

The Warrior and the Sorceress is a 1984 Argentine-American fantasy action film directed by John C. Broderick and starring David Carradine, María Socas and Luke Askew. It was written by Broderick (story and screenplay) and William Stout (story). The Warrior and the Sorceress is a sword and sorcery version of the classic Kurosawa film Yojimbo. The film became notorious due to María Socas spending much of the movie topless, along with several other actresses in bit roles displaying varying degrees of nudity. It is also considered by some to be a cult classic. The Warrior and the Sorceress was the second entry in a series of ten films that Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s, with the first one being Deathstalker (1983).
