About this listen

S3 Ep108: One of the differences between the Manga and the movie is that, in the Manga, Ricky has a pentagram on his hand. I think this might have something to do with why he is so powerful. I meant to talk about some of the differences between the two a little more, but they didn't seem to be anything too glaringly different. At least, from what I read.

"Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky" (1991) is an ultra-violent Hong Kong martial arts splatter film set in a dystopian future where prisons are privatized. The story follows Ricky Ho, a mysteriously strong martial artist with superhuman abilities, who is sent to a brutal prison after avenging his girlfriend’s death. Inside, he takes on a corrupt warden and sadistic inmates, using his bare hands (often literally) to dish out justice.

The film is infamous for its over-the-top gore, absurd fight scenes, and cult status, making it a favorite among fans of wild, exploitation-style cinema. It's based on a Japanese manga and blends martial arts action with outrageous comic book violence.
