Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky
New York Asian Film Festival 2011
July 1 - 14, 2011
The classic Hong Kong midnight action movie about prison privatization and monsters who strangle you with their guts. Rarely seen on the big screen!
A 20th Anniversary screening of the classic Hong Kong midnight action movie about a young man with superhuman strength who finds himself incarcerated at a prison run by corrupt officials/monsters. See The Story of Ricky and learn about the grim politico-economic realities underlying the inherent inequalities of the penal system, while also learning about people being ground into hamburger meat by hand. The Story of Ricky is a giant star of bad taste that has collapsed inwards on itself and whose enormous gravitational pull has turned it into a black hole of trash capable of destroying our entire universe. Gaze into its heart, oh readers of highbrow film magazines, and despair.
