WTF WEDNESDAY PRESENTS:
RIKI-OH! THE STORY OF RICKY!
WARNING! THIS IS PROBABLY NSFW!
You know, kids, I've been pretty good to you. Sure I've exposed WTF Wednesdays to Robogeishas, zombie elves, and French tentacle monsters....but never before have I introduced you guys to a full lenth film to watch, enjoy, and cringe at. Riki-Oh is a 1991 live-action film based on a Japanese manga of the same name. The year is 2001 and the prison systems have become privatized, paving the way for crime and corruption (Close enough to the truth, really). A young man by the name of Ricky is thrown into one of these prisons where every day is a fight for your life. The prison is ruled over by four ruthless thugs, The Gang of Four, and, after they cross Ricky, the movie basically becomes a ridiculous, balls to the walls gallery of gore and ultraviolence.
For those of you of gentle pallets, you should probably avoid this film. For those of you that enjoy a good B-movie, especially a Hong Kong B-movie in the vein of Fist of the North Star, check out the link below to watch the whole movie.
