Ricki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)

Everyone enjoys a good action flick. I don’t care if you’re a gorehound that loves watching zombies tear the flesh off of nubile women while they try to get their freak on with the dumbass boyfriend that was hired to simply lay under the actress while she gyrates in every direction. Maybe you like when the totally undeserving waste of life jerk figures out that his life is meaningless without the simple, small-town girl, that he just bailed on for a night of anal with the hookers down the street. In either case, you enjoy action films once and a while. That brings us to the topic of this review, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. That’s right. The film’s so badass that they used the main character’s name twice in the title (thanks Edgar Wright for pointing that out). And, while the title may not exactly let the audience know what they’re in for, I can tell you that once you’ve seen Ricki-Oh, you’ll never be the same.

Transportation Is A Precise Business

With Jason Statham getting the insane amount of work he has been over the past few years, and with his latest film with Guy Ritchie, Revolver, being ignored by the masses because its been deemed incomprehensible (it isn’t), it was only a matter of time before he returned to the film series that introduced him as a headlining action star in America.  And no, I’m not talking about Ghosts of Mars.
