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

《賊王》（英語：Twist）是香港一部奇案三級片，故事改編自「世紀悍匪」張子強的犯罪事跡，由李修賢擔任導演，並由任達華飾演影射張子強的角色。雖然此片是一部噱頭三級片，但李修賢也為拍攝此片而進行充分的資料搜集，也邀請了前記者羅錦輝擔任編劇和協助資料搜集。本電影為朱子聰退行前的告別作，他於10年後重返配音界。 1998年，《賊王》執行導演吳耀權在王晶的支持下，拍攝了續集《驚天大賊王》，繼續由任達華主演，改篇自張子強在械劫解款車案件後的事跡。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
