Hey, I’m glad you put this one up here. After I watched this, i had to order a copy of it, I, and my family LOVE this movie, and the horrible English dubbing. That, and the over the top violence just makes the movie hilarious. Thanks man.
Awesome! Such a great movie. One of the most over the top cartoonishly violent movies I’ve seen. That reminds me I really need to do some more foreign stuff. One of these days I’m going to do Tokyo Gore Police and Machine Girl.
While normally I’d agree with the suggestion to watch subs, the dubbing team definitely had fun with this movie. The most iconic scene of Riki and “Oscar” fighting, where Oscar tries to choke Riki with his own intestines, the Vice-Warden says “All right! You got a lot of GUTS Oscar!”
I love this film. Fun fact: Story of Ricky is the first film rated Category III (18 and above) in Hong Kong due to just the violence, not sexual content.

Now I wish they would have made max payne. thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching! Wow, if they made the Max Payne movie it would have been insane!

Not so in the original Cantonese.
Well, this one is an exception. I’m talking more “quality” films like Martyrs and Infernal Affairs.
Not saying that Riki-oh isn’t quality, its just that the story is probably the least important part of it. lol
Certainly. It’s what the live-action Fist of the North Star should have been!
The story itself gets quite crazy with Riki’s brother. The untranslated anime movies have been floating around YouTube for awhile.

I don’t mind the live action Fist of the North Star but it is sooooo far removed from the anime, which is one of my favorites.
I’d like for them to make another attempt at a live action movie, only try to stay closer to the source material.
what is goryer this or braindead?
Tough call. Probably Brain Dead. (Dead Alive)

Well, that teaches me to comment before watching the video.
Its funny because the violence is so cartoonishly over the top, it comes off as more funny than horrific.
I agree with Shaun above that I would love to see a live action First of the North Star movie done with violence like this.
I think we all would!
The video does not work anymore can you tell me why and if it it’s possible to watch the review somewhere else ?
