Must Download Internet Movies: Ricky-Oh!
Posted by Ross Greene | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Ricky Oh is really one of the strangest, one of the most bizarre action films ever created. It is literally downright insane, and even after it’s over, you’ll have a hard time believing that some nuts really went out and made a movie like this. It was based on a Korean comic book series of the same name, and the result is a flick that belongs on any must download internet movies list just because it’s so… Well, strange.
The movie follows Ricky, a young martial artist who winds up in prison. Within the prison, there are four gang leaders who all use their own styles of martial arts. Ricky takes it upon himself to take these thugs down, to strange results.
The thing about the movie is… It’s incredibly violent. But it’s so incredibly over the top, so bizarre in its violence, that it feels at times nightmarish, and at other times… More cartoony, like Loony Toons violence. To give an example while trying not to spoil too much, there’s a scene where Ricky is fighting one of the gang leaders and, upon realizing he’s been beat, the gang leader produces a knife and digs it into his own abdomen, as if to commit seppuku… But then he rips his stomach open, pulls out his lower intestine, and uses it to strangle Ricky!
These movies are just too funny to be disturbing. It really is just a cartoon, so you’ll be too busy laughing to have any time left over to feel offended or upset by what you’re seeing… If you can believe that you’re actually seeing what you’re seeing in the first place, that is.
Another fight scene climaxes with the enemy transforming into a twelve foot tall monster… Or rather, a stuntman covered in really, really awful makeup and costume. It’s really quite funny. He “meats” his end when he comes face to face with a beef grinder, and not for one second do you believe what you’re seeing onscreen.
The story actually has a heart, believe it or not, under all the violence and silliness. It’s about human dignity and empathy, it’s about fighting for your rights as an individual and treating other human beings with respect… It’s also about throwing guys into meat grinders because they’re transforming into giant monsters and trying to eat you, but the heart of the movie is really that it’s all about the human dignity that Ricky-Oh fights so aggressively for.
Of course, the violence and weirdness is why it’s a big cult hit, but that’s sort of its angle: Use something silly to get everyone’s attention and then teach them something about life while they’re actually listening to you.
And still, the ending is actually somewhat uplifting and positive. In a movie full of surprises, the optimistic ending may well be the biggest surprise of all. That’s really the appeal of the film. It grosses you out, it makes you laugh, it shows you some weird stuff you’ve never seen before and will never see again, and then somehow in the course of the events, it’s actually gripped your heart and you actually care about the characters.
