Although there are no fancy slick kung-fu moves, Ricky delivers dismembering blows, simple and effective. He fought this one fat guy and just gave him one good punch through the intestines. There are three goons that kill people in gory fashions as well. Violence isn't in every scene but you still get a good amount. Even when there is no gore in a scene, there's humor which redeems everything. The dubbing is so cheesy it's good. My first initial response to the movie was that it was like Bad Taste (the boss he fights in the end transforms in a similar fashion as the aliens in Bad Taste even) if it were a kung-fu flick. It's not disturbing gore, rather, cartoon gore. It's so obvious when they switch to fake dummies for the gory scenes. This doesn't ruin the atmosphere in the movie though. Because of the context of this being a b-movie, the fake looking effects become a plus in my book. Even in this day and age of expensive computer graphics, there's nothing like seeing silly crafted low budget gore effects. If you were looking for realistic gore, go watch Saving Private Ryan or something. This is a movie for people with a bizarre imagination. An inspirational film too. Ricky was a Moses like character, freeing everyone from the evil wardens who were corrupt and threw innocent people in prison just for cheap labor.
