If you can handle the torrent of grisly violence, you'll find yourself royally entertained by this Hong Kong actioner.
A rather astonishing, starkly stylized blood flood set inside a privatized prison.
A wild martial arts feature that combines a prison movie setting with the sort of gore effects one normally finds in a horror film.
Gore galore but not much more.
You should have been running to the video store before you got to this sentence.
Apart from Ichi the Killer, it is the only live-action film ever to capture the anarchic, excessive, highly stylised violence of manga.
Audience Reviews for Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
It may be a grateful attempt at being a visually advanced film at its time (which could be humorous and entertaining once you really get to think about it) the film does no good and ends up looking like a parody, or rather a slapstick of a martial arts film. Ricky-oh: the Story of Ricky is just as predictable and effortless as the effects and misdirections portrayed in the film. 1/5
Super Reviewer
utter madness.
Super Reviewer
Absurdly over the top violence plus hilariously ridiculous dramatization and the result is quite a fun movie
