Ever start at one video on Youtube and an hour later, you say

I do this with Wikipedia. And it lasts my whole workday.

"You've got a lot of guts Oscar". Yes. Yes he does.

Wait, how did he get his eye back in the closing segment?

YouTube is really one hell of a rabbit hole to go down into. You'll get to a point where you're either watching the weirdest/dumbest shite ever or something so awesome you have to share it with whoever you feel like sharing it with.

That's Riki-oh: The Story of Ricky. I think that it's supposed to be a cult classic or something. I might have seen that it was on netflix a while back. I've never seen it all the way through. Just those few scenes like that.

Youtube can be strange, disturbing, and hilarious place depending on the path you decide to take with those suggested videos. Me and my damn curiousity.

Notable scenes[edit]

The film is notorious for its excessive use of graphic violence and gore, primarily due to the fact that the lead character is practically invincible, has superhuman strength and can virtually withstand all pain, which is partially explained by Ricky being a practitioner of a mystical kung-fu style known as Qigong. This leads to attempts by other characters to subdue him which end up being extremely gory and over-the-top.

Aside from the aforementioned head crushing and meat grinding scenes, most notable[1] is a fight scene between Ricky and a knife-wielding prisoner named Oscar. During the fight, Oscar throws powdered glass in Ricky's eyes and then slashes Ricky's right arm. Ricky seemingly finished, smashes a water pipe and cleans his eyes, then uses his teeth and left hand to tie the veins and tendons in his arm back together. Oscar then charges at Ricky, but Ricky dodges and smacks him in the back of the head, popping one of his eyes out, leaving it to be eaten by crows. Seeing himself at a disadvantage, Oscar attempts suicide by seppuku. However, when Ricky approaches Oscar to try and stop the suicide, Oscar grabs his own intestines and wraps them around Ricky's neck in an attempt to strangle him, prompting the assistant warden to exclaim in the English dub: "You've got a lot of guts, Oscar!". Ricky then punches Oscar in the face, with an X-ray image showing the front of his skull being shattered. The deceased Oscar crumples to the ground without so much as a visibly broken nose.

In another fight scene, Ricky punches and graphically breaks the Gang of Four member, Tarzan's arm, then punches several of Tarzan's fingers off. Finally, Ricky goes for the Coup de grâce and lands an uppercut with such force that Tarzan's jaw is torn off.

Another scene includes the warden's graphic death which depicts Ricky throwing him into an industrial meat grinder. Ricky pushes the struggling warden through the grinder, until his whole body is shredded and only his head remains. In that scene, so much fake blood was used that Fan Siu-wong could not wash the blood off his skin for three days.

The film's low budget shows in the scene where Ricky's girlfriend Keiko jumps to her death. For this scene, an obvious mannequin wearing her clothes is thrown off the top of the building, landing with a dull thud and a slight bounce. A dummy is also used in some scenes where there is a close up.
