The Story of Ricky is one of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man with super strength, Ricky, that is sent to prison: His girlfriend got killed, so he avenged her death. The prison that Ricky is sent to is run like a business; the warden uses the prisoners as slaves and kills them without any hesitation. There are Four gangs in the prison and each of them have their own boss. When Ricky notices how corrupt the prison is, he uses his two fists to clean it up.

My synopsis is basically the whole storyline. I would rate the story 6/10, because a lot of things didn’t make sense; however, it doesn’t matter, because Story of Ricky is all about extreme violence and cheesy effects. This movie was made in 1991, so there was limited special effects; as a result, the action scenes seem unrealistic. Whenever Ricky fights, his fists usually rip through the opponent’s body and just tears them up. The best thing about this movie is how much fake gore it has; in one scene Ricky puts somebody into a meat grinder, and after they directed that scene there was so much fake blood that the actor couldn’t wash himself off for 2 days.

In conclusion, if you like movies that have no storyline, but are entertaining because of it’s unique special effects, Story of Ricky is a must watch!

This is 1/9 of the full movie. You can watch the rest on youtube!
