Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky Ratings & Reviews

Hipster ZOMBIEFebruary 23, 2025
Imagine Shawshank Redemption but as a brutal dark comedy action kung fu film. That’s Story of Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. The film is a cult classic Kung fu splatter fest that stands as one of the most over-the-top, absurdly violent action films ever made. Bursting with extreme gore, exaggerated fight scenes, and an almost cartoonish sense of brutality, Riki-Oh is an unforgettable viewing experience for fans of grindhouse cinema.The film is set in the distant future of 2001 (yes, the distant future) in a dystopian society where private corporations run prisons. Our hero, Ricky Oh (played by Fan Siu-Wong), is a seemingly ordinary man sentenced to a maximum-security prison for avenging his girlfriend’s death. However, Ricky is no average inmate—he possesses near-superhuman strength, an indomitable will, and a penchant for exploding people’s heads with his bare hands. As he battles corrupt wardens, sadistic enforcers, and grotesque opponents, Ricky’s journey unfolds as a wild, blood-soaked battle for justice.The film has inspired countless internet memes (the famous “head crush” scene being a standout) and remains a must-watch for fans of so-bad-it’s-good cinema.
