Lik Wong, (Riki-Oh - The Story...

Yukari Oshima, Frankie Chin, Gloria Yip and Ka-Kui Ho, Siu-Wong Fan

One of the most absurdly violent films ever made, this outrageous comic book of a movie is short on style but makes up for it in sheer audacity and excess. Brooding street kid Ricky Ho (Fan Siu Wang, ...( read more  read more... )playing the part of avenging angel with self-righteous earnestness) walks into the corrupt corporate prison system with superpowered martial arts skills and proceeds to punch his way through every bullying thug and sadistic guard who comes his way. Literally. His fist puts a gaping hole through the stomach of a giant sumo-wrestler-sized thug and the jaw of a pompadoured bully, and turns the skull of a pathetic guard into a bloody stump. As Ricky becomes a hero to the downtrodden prisoners, the assistant warden (who keeps breath mints in his removable glass eye) organizes the dreaded "gang of four," the cell block gang leaders, to take Ricky down. Fat chance!

There's nothing realistic about the bone-shattering, blood-splattering spectacle of crushed heads and snapped limbs, but the unrestrained display becomes so preposterously grotesque it hardly matters. You'll be convinced that the "Oh" in Riki-Oh stands for "Oh my God, did I really see that?" Yes, Ricky really does tie a sliced tendon with his teeth, a thug cuts open his gut and uses his own intestines to strangle Ricky, and the warden (for no apparent reason) puffs himself up into a giant rubber ogre. Ricky's curvy, feminine nemesis Rogan is played by Yukari Oshima, the butt-kicking, all-woman star of Angel and others. --Sean Axmaker

    The Story of Ricky is so ridiculous that to begin criticizing or trying to explain it would almost be missing the point. An entirely entertaining martial arts movie, this movie is so ridiculously graphic and over the top. The dubbing is hysterical to the point where an admittedly...( read more) very androgynous woman (the one that looked like the guy from Human League) is given a man's voice. And once the Chinese Hulk shows up the brilliance and utter stupidity smash through the ceiling. So much entertaining nonsense you won't be able to stand it.

    Justifies the invention of cinema in every possible way. It made me feel proud of forming part of the human race.

    One of the funniest ultra violent HK horror movies I've seen and so OTT. 21 year old Ricky who has unnatural superhuman strength is sent to prison but he doesn't conform to the rules which brings him on a collision course with the guards, the sadistic wardens and the 4 big bosses...( read more) of the prison wings who all want Ricky to die. But he doesn't die all that easily. Heads exploding, a fist through a stomach, limbs being sliced off and some other gory set pieces are all part of the parcel of watching this classic cult movie. I had a lot of fun seeing this and you will too. It's not to be taken seriously at all. Don't miss it.

    Absurdly over the top violence plus hilariously ridiculous dramatization and the result is quite a fun movie

    Enter the Dragon (1973) and Lock Up (1989) meet Braindead (1992)! What do you get? One of the goriest, hilarious, violent, unrealistic and outrageous films ever made, obviously. Lik Wong brings pure gory entertainment that any martial arts fan and horror fan should see. I loved t...( read more)his one.
