Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

1991-Action-Kung Fu
China

The first time I saw a small clip of this movie on the original 'Daily Show' with Craig Killborn, in his 10 questions segment, i knew i needed to see this film. That was back in 1996. The first time I viewed this film was June of last year, and it changed my life... FOREVER!

Synopsis:
Ricky goes to prison for a crime of murdering a TON of people. Upon going to prison he befriends a bunch of meek and strange group of people, which has a pension of dying in his arms at the right time. Ricky unfurls a secret in this prison that need IMMEDIATE VENGEFUL ACTION.

All-in-All:
This is an adaptation of a Manga written around the same time 'Fist of the North Star' and 'The Crying Freedman' was the standard as opposed to today's standards of 'Naruto' and 'Bleach', and turning that ridiculous standard into a 90 min live action film... well, to put it bluntly... is like describing Boiling Meat and the aroma of 2 strangers catching a half second glance. That amazing! I know.
You MUST view this film.
