2024 MOVIE LIST

I re-watched Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky (1991)

Been awhile, but this one will always be great. It holds up.

21 year old Lik-Wong enters a gang controlled prison armed with a desire to be a hero... and extreme fighting skills.

Lam Ngai Kai is a Hong Kong film director with a fantastic imagination. Another film of his, "The Seventh Curse" is already on this movie list. Here he gives us another wild film.

Obviously the story here isn't an amazing one. As well, the acting is cartoonish and over the top and the special effects are often visibly fake and cheap. Does any of that subtract from the film? Not in the least.

"Riki-Oh: The Story Of Riki" is the best kind of mindless fun one can have at the movies. It's not concerned with physics or medical accuracy. It doesn't care about presenting a perfect story structure. It doesn't follow any rules. It simply does what it wants and keeps doing it, even past the point of pure ridiculousness. It's a B-style Hong Kong Martial Arts film on off brand steroids.

The film is Excessively violent and bloody. The pace is ever pushing forward. The characters are hollow yet fun and familiar.

I really don't know what else to say about this film other than I love watching it every time I see it.

Seriously, do yourself a favor, shut off your brain for a bit and watch this one. You'll laugh and feel fully entertained. If you can gather your friends for it, it'll be even better.
