Ok folks, here it is, a fansite dedicated to the wonder of Riki-Oh, the OTHER Horror Movie Marathon mascot film.
Some of you were wondering why the website is www.rikioh.com. Well, here is the answer. Meet the Feebles has been removed from the marathon this season and in its
place is this gem, so if you've never seen it before, be prepared for a film that's, well, a little gory BUT very, very funny.
Here you will find some pics (Non Gory and Gory, seperated for your viewing pelasure) as well as a plot synopsis. More
to come soon. In the mean time, sit back, relax and enjoy Riki-Oh in all its cheesy glory.
RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY
(Synopsis)
RIKI-OH: STORY OF RICKY takes place in an alternate universe in
the year 2001. While fleeing from pursuing opium dealers, Rickys girlfriend (Gloria
Yip) plunges to her death. Naturally, Ricky (Fan Siu Wong) mourns the loss,
and plots revenge against the leader of the drug-dealing lowlifes. When Ricky
locates the drug lord on the streets, the slime ball shoots Ricky multiple times. But
the angry twenty one-year just keeps coming, and dispatches the guy before the eyes of some prostitutes.
This event leads the young man to be sentenced to life in prison-
but this prison is different from the kind we know. In the world of RIKI-OH:
STORY OF RICKY, the prison system is a franchised corporate entity. The corrupt
Warden rules this jail with an iron fist, and has set up a leadership system called the Gang of Four; a group of super-deadly
mercenaries who rule the various sections of the prison, and who also assist the warden with his illegal opium operation. Upon entering the facility, Ricky is immediately beset by bully inmates, prison guards,
and Gang of Four members.
But Ricky is not a normal inmate.
Not only has he been trained in a deadly form of martial arts, he also possesses superhuman strength. He can kill a man with a single blow, and bullets only slow him down.
Ricky dispatches the prisoners sent against him in a variety of bloody ways, but the Gang of Four proves equal to the
task. When the Gang of Four torture and kill Rickys prisoner friends, Ricky sets
his sights on the Wardens private opium nursery. This infuriates the Warden,
and he promises to make Rickys death his number one priority.
The Gang of Four finally captures Ricky, and the inmates are forced
to bury him alive. The Warden promises Ricky if he can survive underground for
a week, he will grant Ricky a pardon. When the time comes to dig him up, everyone
is shocked to find Ricky alive. Of course, the Warden does not give Ricky his
freedom. Instead he orders the Gang of Four to finish him off. After a particularly bloody and violent brawl, Ricky takes out the Gang of Four. Ricky slowly stalks the Warden, thinking him easy prey. But
the Warden has secret of his own, as he mutates into a towering monster even stronger than Ricky. The battle for supremacy of the future begins!
