Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is a 1991 action/martial arts gore-porn film--an adaptation of the anime/manga, Riki-Oh--starring Siu-Wong Fan.
A cult classic, it is generally only known for its absurdly over-the-top violence, which manifests itself in ways such as: guys ripping their own intestines out to use as a strangulation tool, heads being crushed into hundreds of pieces by bare hands, and people being put in a humongous meat grinder, among other things.
Plot[]
A guy with superhuman strength is imprisoned and uses the power of blowing dudes' bodies up with his fists to break free.

Tiradesverse tropes[]
- Protagonist? - Ricky
- Unnecessary voiceover
- Everything explodes - An odd example in that all the explosions are of human bodies or appendages
- H.U.R.T. - The entire movie is built upon this trope.
- The Future Sucks - While taking place in 2001, the movie was released in the early 1990s, and the general portrayal of the world is not pretty (because of that accursed capitalism!!!).
- Individual villain introduction - The Gang of Four leaders, sans Oscar, who by that point is quite dead
- Curious Quartet - See above
- Box of kittens - The Warden, Dan, and all of the Gang of Four except Tarzan
- Disrespecting the Dead - In a flashback, ghost Sensei trains Ricky by throwing tombstones at him. Ricky then punches and kicks the tombstones to dust.
- Plot Armor - Ricky. Then again, he is invincible, so...
- Tonal Shift from Hell - Virtually every scene change in the movie
- Edited at gunpoint
