Ricky-Oh! the Story of Ricky, is one of the all time strangest, weirdest, most insane and most unpredictable action films ever made. It was based on the Korean comic book series of the same name and quickly went on to become a cult legend. The internet has really boosted its visibility, as people have cut out their favorite scenes and posted them on message boards. The movie goes on any list of must download internet movies simply because it’s so darn bizarre and weird.

The movie follows Ricky, a young martial artist who winds up in prison. Within the prison, there are four gang leaders who all use their own styles of martial arts. Ricky takes it upon himself to take these thugs down, to strange results.

The movie is violent. Incredibly, surprisingly, wildly violent. However, it’s so incredibly violent that it just doesn’t really feel real in the end. It feels more like a cartoon. Or rather, maybe like a nightmare you might have about a cartoon. To give an example, one fight scene ends with a bad guy trying to strangle Ricky Oh with his own lower intestine. Yeah, it gets that ridiculous.

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.

Another fight scene climaxes with the enemy transforming into a twelve foot tall monster… Or rather, a stuntman covered in really, really awful makeup and costume. It’s really quite funny. He “meats” his end when he comes face to face with a beef grinder, and not for one second do you believe what you’re seeing onscreen.

The story actually, surprisingly, has a heart under all this surreal violence. The real story of the film revolves around Ricky trying to fight for freedom and dignity for all of his fellow inmates, who are constantly harassed and bullied by the warden and his spoiled rotten man-child son. It’s about humanity, empathy and understanding more so than it is about violence.

The movie is miles over the top. It doesn’t just go too far, it goes too far on a bullet train and then keeps going until it can’t even see “Too Far” in the rear view mirror anymore. By the end of the film, it’s gotten on board a space shuttle and taken off into outer space to the point that it’s not even on the same planet as “Too Far” anymore.

And still, the ending is actually somewhat uplifting and positive. In a movie full of surprises, the optimistic ending may well be the biggest surprise of all. That’s really the appeal of the film. It grosses you out, it makes you laugh, it shows you some weird stuff you’ve never seen before and will never see again, and then somehow in the course of the events, it’s actually gripped your heart and you actually care about the characters.
