Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

Premium Crap. CrapScore 84, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A superhuman prisoner punches his way through a corrupt institution that appears to employ only the most extravagantly cruel people available. The cartoon logic and gloriously excessive practical gore make every new confrontation a challenge to the previous one's absurdity.
