Forbidden Warrior is structured loosely on a popular Asian myth. The story concerns Seki, an attractive woman who discovers that she can utilize an ancient book of spells in order to accomplish just about anything. She must master these spells before the book falls into the hands of those who mean to do some serious damage with it. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

This home video release collects three sensuous stories from the Showtime cable series inspired by Zalman King's hit film. In "Strip Poker," a luscious photographer on vacation spies on her next-door neighbors, who are playing the titular card game; after observing from a distance, she decides it might be more fun to make it a three-handed tournament. A woman finds her grandmother's diary in "Slow Train," and soon her imagination is filled with the details of a long-ago romance. And "Hard Labor" concerns a female advertising executive whose life begins to unravel when she learns that her boyfriend's former lover has her heart set on winning him back. The cast for the three episodes includes Anfisa Nezinskaya, Larisa Tipikina, and Carolyn Seymour. David Duchovny narrates. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
