When you though the Asians were not crazy enough, we are proud to bring you:
The Story of Ricky
WOW!
What can I say about this movie? It was the most horrific thing I have
ever seen in my life and I loved it. This movie is just so bad, so bloody, and
so completely weird, one must be very drunk, very high,
or completely insane to even think of trying to comprehend the plot. But then
again, in a movie where someone rips out his own intestines to fight another
man, who needs deep meaningful plot? You have probably seen parts of
this movie yourself and not even known it. Back in the day on Comedy
Central, The Daily Show used to show a clip from it - the exploding head scene
right before 4 the five questions bit. Well, the rest of the movie
is just like that, actually, it is much more intense. In it we have odd
dream sequences, a gay ninja (we think anyway, because even the dubbing sounds
fruity), flesh being cut off, stomachs being imploded, people exploding, I
think that Mortal Kombat might have been based off this move in some ways as
well as there is a guy with a Scorpion-like spear weapon.
Oh yeah, the plot, well, it goes something like this:
There is a man named Rikky who is thrust into a
maximum security prison, but as in maximum security I mean the prisoners are
free to wander about as much as they feel like it. For some reason the
cells that are more of a convenience for them, a place for the to sleep.
The prison is controlled by 4 leaders, each with their own special
power. One is big and buff, one is, well, bigger and buffer, one is gay,
and one likes to cut things. The warden is - oops, can't tell you that
part, you need to make it to the end of them movie yourself. As for his
son though, the first thing out of most people's mouths when they see him is
"FAT BASTARD!" - ala Austin Powers.
Anyway, Ricky is a master is some strange kung-fu that allows him to heal any
wound he receives, and by that, I do mean ANYTHING, and goes on a crazy
revenge filled rampage throughout the prison because he feels great sympathy
for a fellow prisoner killed. Let it be known that he never actually
knew the other prisoner. Personally, I feel that this part of the plot
was simply a way of justifying the wanton violence prevailing throughout this
entire movie.
(more if it was allowed, and this is going to be one of the most violent
movies you have ever seen)
Buy this movie, invite over all your friends, and prepare yourself for a hilarious trip into Japanese Shock Movie Culture, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.
