Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (Lik Wong)

Watched films in 2024 (55 movies items)

"19.1. Blu-ray Minä kun en ole honkkarikohnotuksessa päässyt edes alkuun, onnistuu The Story of Ricky tuottamaan sellaisen katselukokemuksen, ettei kovin usein vastaan tule. Itsetietoisen absurdi ja ehdottoman villi splatterkomedian ja tappeluelokuvan yhdistelmä on pelkistetyssä vankilamiljöössä, kuin lavasteettomalla teatterilavalla tapahtuva ääriväkivaltainen ja melkein uskottava kaaos. Typerä huumori naurattaa."

I was in the mood for some old-school action and I had this on the shelf nearby."

Film Journal 2020 (125 movies items)

"As good as people have been telling me it is for the past two decades. I was surprised by the very stupid melodrama which works perfectly in the heightened reality of this movie, and how this is a very, very single-track, monotone condemnation of labor-based prison systems (mostly through dialogue as they barely visualize the labor), which, even though very simple and quite silly, is a lot more than other HK-films, especially those of the early 90s. The one thing I didn't dig 100% is that before"

Another List From Kill Bill (184 movies items)

"The sequence durning the fight between Elle Driver and The Bride where Elle attempts to kick The Bride in the head is mirrored in Riki-Oh, down to the camera angles and the use of slow motion."

"Well, I had a smirk throughout the film and laughed out loud in few moments. I tested the awful English dub version but decided to watch it in cantonese. Might rewatch it with that audio and test if it adds something to this film. "

Miika's Movie Diary - 2018 (222 movies items)

"21.1, PC Bongasin tämän joltain "best martial arts films" listalta, ja vähän selvää otettuani huomasin että menon pitäisi olla tässä melko päätöntä. Sitä se kyllä on, mikä tekeekin elokuvan seuraamisesta varsin hauskaa, ainakin alkuun. Loppua kohden tämä rupesi maistumaan puulta (toki varsinainen loppu oli oikein viihdyttävää mäissäilyineen ja efekteineen), sillä sankarin sankarointi saa liian suurta osaa ja vie elokuvasta sitä viihdyttävyyttä, mitä ihastuttavan äl"

"May 15 "Why didn't you let the doctors take the five bullets out of you?" "Souvenirs." Wow, I can't say I was fully prepared for this one. I knew it would be crazy, but I didn't think it would be this off the wall. Still though, I loved the hell out of this movie. It was a delightfully crazy martial arts flick with some insane gore effects. This gives Braindead a run for it's money in terms of amounts of gore. There's so many creative kills and uses of gore in ways I've never seen before. Th"
