“Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky” Is More Politically Relevant than Ever

I’ve known about Riki-Oh (aka The Story of Ricky) and its supremely over-the-top violence for decades. Whether it was seeing grotesque(ly awesome) moments from the original manga by Takajou Masahiko and Saruwatari Tetsuya, or animated gifs of the most ridiculous scenes from the 1991 Hong Kong movie directed by Lam Nai-Choi, those images stay with a person. When I finally got around to watching…

RIKI-OH FUCKING RULESSSS

OKAY SO THERE'S A GODDAMN MANGA AND ANIME OF RIKI-OH AND I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE NOWWWWWWWWWW

(My new obsession is Riki-Oh AKA The Story of Ricky and it's SOOO GOOD)

[verzeke]

To add some context and reason to this movies loose plot points it comes front the fact its adapting like 14 chapters of the manga, so story points and characters are a bit different but its honestly a bit less insane lol (the movie that is, the manga actually get way more insane as it goes on)

There are some movies out there that should be terrible but simply aren't. They don't make sense, they're written sloppily, and the performances are overexaggerated and melodramatic to the point of ridiculousness. Maybe the effects look fake, maybe the themes are all over the place. It doesn't matter, because everything else about the film rules so hard that what would be a throwaway February release becomes something to sit up and take note of.

Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky is one of these films. A Hong Kong martial arts film about a man who punches holes in people overthrowing the wardens of a dystopian private prison. Nobody needed this to be good, just to provide a good time.

Riki Oh goes above and beyond here, and not only provides ridiculous action with plenty of gore, fake blood, and kickin' but goes on to craft a frankly gorgeous film.

The visuals, cinematography, costuming, and even editing are all phenomenal. You'd never expect to praise the composition of the scene in which a dog gets kicked in half, but it happens and frankly that's probably all you need to know about this movie.

Every action scene is more ridiculously over the top, every scene in which Ricky appears his pecs are completely out, and I frankly can't stress enough how much you need to see this film. None of the character motivations make sense, the 23 year old man child dresses like Tyler the Creator, and you'll love it. Highly suggest, it's the most beautiful martial arts film I've watched in a long time, and the nonsensical quirks of the genre just make it even better.

Even with death knocking on the door you were the only thing he could think of

The prettiest, kindest, sweetest, warmest person alive, and you were his.

It’s no wonder he didn‘t tell you, the thought of you worrying all the time? It broke his heart, worse then any illness could.

The last thing he wanted was for you to worry about him; Not that he was never going to tell you, i mean he planned on it

But much like his in-ability to tell you how much he loved you, he was unable too tell you about everything plaguing him

And when you guys were sitting on a hill, his head laying on your shoulder as you looked at the stars

He thought to himself:

I wish we could stay here forever, i wish i could show you every star in the sky, every city built, every wave in the ocean, everything life has to offer.

I want to give you everything.

I want to make your life worth living much like you have mine.

I was content with dying, i was content with the fact that id never amount to anything, but that changed.

Meeting you in middle school was the worst thing that could’ve ever happened.

Thanks to you i’m scared, i’m terrified. I don’t want to die anymore, I don’t want to leave you, I don’t want anything to change.

I love you, i love you so so so so so much. I’m sorry i can’t say it properly, i’m sorry i only ever told you through kisses, i know it’s not enough and im sorry. I’m sorry im leaving you before i could tell you properly, im sorry im leaving before explaining anything.

But i love you, i promise i do, i love you so much and nothing will ever change that, even in heaven, or hell, or whatever afterlife i get, i will always choose you, you will always be my first thought, my first love, my everything.

And i’m sorry that

"Riki" You said

You had planned a speech for tonight, to tell him how much you loved him, and how much you knew he cared; He had been so distant lately, you worried that he felt he wasn’t good enough.

"Riki?" You looked at him, noticing his purple lips, pale skin, lack of chest movement.

This is his last regret, the last thing he wanted to do and he couldn’t do it.

You put your hand up to his face, he was so cold

So so so unbelievably cold, despite the hoodie he had on, he was still so cold.

He was never able to tell you, not even under the same stars he swore he‘d propose under.

"Riki?"

Riki never got to tell you how badly you made him want to live, how badly he loved you.
