SPECIAL SCREENING - ONE NIGHT

has since become one of the most successful and influential anime films of all
time, also inspiring the new sequel, "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence," which
opens next week! Major Motoko Kusanagi is a beautiful cyborg working for
Section 29, Japan's secret police force, in the year 2029. Along with fellow
cyborg Bateau, Motoko's supervisor orders her to find "Puppet Master," a
sinister computer terrorist created by a rival organization. Because their prey
has the ability to hack into the minds of his enemies, the evil villain must be
stopped as soon as possible! But as the tough cops close in on their target,
Motoko realizes that she and Puppet Master seem suspiciously
similar...

Batou is a cyborg investigating the case of a gynoid - a hyper-realistic female
robot created specifically for sexual companionship - who malfunctions and
slaughters her owner. As Batou delves deeper into the investigation, questions
arise about humanity's need to immortalize its image in dolls - robots with no
human elements at all. The answers to those questions lead to the shocking
truth behind the crime… and possibly the very meaning of
life!

Frenchy opens the basement door, and is flung headlong into the world of the
"FORBIDDEN ZONE." She is trapped in the kingdom ruled by the horny midget King
Fausto, his robust commandeering Queen Doris, and their spoiled daughter. Obese
maidens in bikinis, a dancing frog, robot-like boxers, Satan, the secret cult of
The Mystic Knights of the Oingo-Boingo, and degraded beings of all kinds run
wild in the Sixth Dimension. Hot in pursuit, Frenchy's brother Flash and Gramps
hurry to her rescue. The king wants a new concubine, and has his eyes on
Frenchy. The spunky maiden has captured the king's heart, and in so doing
incurs the wrath of his jealous wife. Frenchy is imprisoned, and it is also
discovered that the ex-queen lies chained in bondage. Will Frenchy suffer the
fate of the other damsels who have tempted the king and infuriated the queen?
