You think you have seen it all regarding martial arts and gore combined? You think that you have seen plenty of crazy manga/animes? How about Hong Kong/Chinese prison flicks? Look no further than Riki-Oh then for good times.
Also known as the precursor towards the present famous One Punch Man, Riki-Oh is about Ricky who killed a man and leads the prisoners against the corrupt prison system with the wardens and the Gang of Four terrorizing all.
The Story of Ricky is actually one of the goriest flicks ever made, easily coming close towards the king of gore, which is Braindead(1992), directed by Peter Jackson. It's so over the top at times that it became an effective martial arts horror comedy.
Infamous scenes include literally punching through guts, meat and bones, falling on a board of spikes, an imploding body, and facing of against a grotesque transformed warden who eventually is meat grinded massively, and his head is left.
Definitely do not take this movie seriously, and I guarantee that you will have a good time, IF you have a heart for B-rated, nonsense adaptations. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is ridiculously easy to make fun of.
Rating: 6.5
