Ricky-Oh, The Story Of Ricky, is without a doubt one of the strangest, weirdest and most surreal films ever created. It is really just plain nuts. It’s hard to believe that some crazy filmmakers even went out there with this idea and said “Yeah let’s make this movie instead of just joking around about it!” It was based on the equally surreal comic book by the same title. The resulting movie belongs on the list of top cult download internet movies. It’s funny, surprising, shocking and ridiculous, and whether or not you wind up enjoying it, you’ll certainly never forget it.

The movie follows Ricky, a young martial artist who, for some reason or other that the film isn’t too clear on, winds up in prison. Herein he must fight his way through the four gang leaders who run the prison, each one with their own violent, weird form of martial art.

The thing about the movie is… It’s incredibly violent. But it’s so incredibly over the top, so bizarre in its violence, that it feels at times nightmarish, and at other times… More cartoony, like Loony Toons violence. To give an example while trying not to spoil too much, there’s a scene where Ricky is fighting one of the gang leaders and, upon realizing he’s been beat, the gang leader produces a knife and digs it into his own abdomen, as if to commit seppuku… But then he rips his stomach open, pulls out his lower intestine, and uses it to strangle Ricky!

You’ll really be too busy laughing at the onscreen violence to even other being disturbed, so you can’t quite say that it’s “not for the easily nauseated”, because it’s just too darn Loony Toons to gross you out.

A later fight scene has a villain transforming into a giant monster. By giant monster, we really mean “A stuntman in a really, really, really bad costume”. You can practically see the zipper on the back of this thing. In another movie, the fakeness of the special effects might have been a problem. In Ricky-Oh, it’s a big part of the charm.

The story actually has a heart under all this, believe it or not. The movie touches on a lot of plot threads that you won’t really get if you haven’t read the comic, but the main story revolves around the subject of inhumanity. Ricky Oh fights for the dignity and freedom of all of the inmates, who are constantly bullied by the warden and his spoiled son as well as by the gangs that run the prison.

Of course, the violence and weirdness is why it’s a big cult hit, but that’s sort of its angle: Use something silly to get everyone’s attention and then teach them something about life while they’re actually listening to you.

Still, the ending is actually surprisingly uplifting and positive as Ricky liberates his fellow inmates from under the iron fist of the violent, abusive warden and all of his cronies. In a movie full of surprises, the biggest surprise of all is that you’ll find yourself caring about the characters, not just wondering who’s gonna get kicked in the butt with their own severed foot next.

You wouldn’t deal with stolen goods on the street, and so you shouldn’t have to deal with them online.
