Black Maria Film Collective swings by Hong Kong to show you perhaps THE single craziest martial arts movie ever made with RIKI-OH: The Story of Ricky.

Set in the then-future of 2001, RIKI-OH: The Story of Ricky follows the eponymous Ricky, who is incarcerated in the privatised and corrupt prison system of dystopian Hong Kong for murder. Armed only with his skill in the martial arts and his superhuman strength, Ricky makes efforts to enact justice and vengeance and rise up against the corrupt Warden.

Full of forceful and bloody limb losses, decapitations, bodily transformations, and other splatter violence in the most outrageous of ways - all with larger-than-life characters and a sprinkle of camp melodrama to top it all off, RIKI-OH is a film that demands the collective cinematic experience.
