There are AT LEAST five other major sequences from this film worthy of being included in the Twitch Top Kills but we're breaking our Riki-Oh cherry with a quick one. Behold the head crush sequence from the cultest of all Hong Kong cult movies.
The Man Who Cried
Classic. Is Riki-Oh the first live action film to try and replicate the over the top violence of Japanese manga? I'm wondering if there were any made in Japan in the late 80's or early 90's. I assume not since anime pretty much had that angle covered and live action adaptations would probably not have been as well received. Thankfully, the makers of of this film didn't have such concerns in HK.
i love this movie man:)
the violence is just sweet and funny!
This movie is one of the reasons cinemas was invented.
