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
The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear is a 1991 American crime comedy film serving as the sequel to the 1988 film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, and the second installment in The Naked Gun film series. The film stars Leslie Nielsen as the comically bumbling Police Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad!. Priscilla Presley plays the role of Jane, with O. J. Simpson as Nordberg and George Kennedy as police captain Ed Hocken. The film also features Robert Goulet (who previously made a "special guest star" appearance on Police Squad!) as the villainous Quentin Hapsburg and Richard Griffiths in a dual role as renewable fuel advocate Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer and his evil double. Zsa Zsa Gabor and Mel Tormé have cameo roles. David Zucker returns from the first entry as director and screenwriter of the film. Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker serve as executive producers for the film and receive writing credit due to their contributions to the first entry of the series and the Police Squad! television series. However, neither contributed to the screenplay for the film. The film was a box office success, grossing $192 million against a budget of $23 million, making it the most commercially successful of the series. It received positive reviews from critics, though some concluded it to be inferior to its predecessor. A third installment in the series, Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, was released in 1994.
