  • Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (力王 Lik Wong) is a 1991 Hong Kong film directed by Lam Ngai Kai, based on the Japanese comic book Riki-Oh by Masahiko Takajo and Saruwatari Tetsuya. It stars Fan Siu Wong as Ricky Ho Lik Wong (Lik Wong is the character's given name, but the subtitles use the anglicized "Ricky") and Yukari Oshima as Yomi. The English title given on screen is simply Story of Ricky but later releases were sold under the title Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. It had a limited theatrical release in the US around 1993. It is well-known for its extreme, brutal, and highly unrealistic violence. One scene, showing a character crushing another character's skull with his bare hands, later became a regular fixture on The Daily Show during Craig Kilborn's time as the host. A sequel, titled Dint King, Inside King (aka, Story of Ricky 2 or Super Powerful Man) was allegedly released on video in Hong Kong around 2003-2005. The film was never released in the United States or in Europe, but is available on DVD (without English subtitles) through Panorama Entertainment. The film follows the events that take place in the manga after Ricky breaks out of prison, though apparently no mention is made of this. Oddly, and possibly due to rights issues, the film is built as a stand alone project despite casting Terry Fan Sui Wong in the title role. Even the characters have different names (Ricky's name is He Shen in this film). Fan even sports the camouflage poncho seen in flashbacks and in the manga.
  • Story of Ricky, auch Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky ist ein dystopischer Actionfilm mit Splatter- und Martial-Arts-Elementen des Regisseurs Lam Ngai Kai aus dem Jahr 1991. Die japanisch-chinesische Co-Produktion basiert auf dem Manga Riki-Oh (力王, Riki-Ō) von Texter Masahiko Takajo und Zeichner Saruwatari Tetsuya. Es ist die erste Realverfilmung des Stoffes, obgleich 1989 bzw. 1990 zwei japanische Anime-Adaptionen entstanden. Die Mangaverfilmung war im Übrigen einer der ersten Filme in Hongkong, die außerhalb der Pornoindustrie mit der Kategorie-III-Wertung versehen wurden, was einem strengen Jugendverbot entspricht. Diese Einstufung beeinflusste maßgeblich die kommerzielle Auswertung, so dass lediglich Einnahmen in Höhe von 2,148 Millionen HKD (entspricht circa 196.000 Euro) in der Kronkolonie erzielt werden konnten.

Il film appartiene per lo piu al genere delle arti marziali, ma è diventato famoso soprattutto per la forte componente splatter che lo ha reso con il passare del tempo un vero e proprio cult cinematografico.
