Product Description Riki-Oh - Story of Ricky is a liveaction movie version of the manga series.

He uses his martial arts skills to clean up the system after being incarcerated in a prison run by corrupt officials. This leads to ill-fated attempts by others to subdue him, which end up being extremely gory and over-the-top. Special Features: Trailers, Photo Gallery, Siu-Wong Fan Interview. Audio: Cantonese, Mandarin, English dubbed, English subtitles. Review A rather astonishing, starkly stylized blood flood set inside a privatized prison. --The Village Voice Apart from Ichi the Killer, it is the only live-action film ever to capture the anarchic, excessive, highly stylized violence of manga. --Movie Gazette 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. --Wikipedia
