- Ricky - Young man sentenced to prison for killing a opium dealer. (Who was responsible for Ying's death.)
- The Warden - Evil controller of the prison, he carries a pistol which makes people explode and seems to be a demon too. Turned into ground beef (literally) by Ricky.
- The Assistant Warden - Fat and mean henchman with a glass eye and hook hand. Explodes after being shot by the Warden.
- Huang Chan - Very deadly at martial arts and a gang boss, he is awfully feminine though. Ricky rips off or breaks all his limbs.
- Taizan - Huge gang boss who can crush a man's skull. (see below!) Mashed under a hydraulic press after Ricky cripples him.
- Shorty - Little gang boss who uses large spikes attached to elastic bands. Shot in the ass and explodes.
- Hai - Tatoo wearing gang boss. Ricky punches his skull in.
- Wild Cat, Fink, and Elephant - Bullies of the cell block. Ricky punches through Elephant and Wild Cat, he only knocks the top off of Fink's head.

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL GORY FU FLICKS!
Plainly amazing, we are talking heads punched in half, guys using their intestines (hanging out of their body cavity) to strangle Ricky, people exploding, and internal organs flying all over the place.
Ricky arrives in prison after killing a opium dealer, the guy had kidnapped his girlfriend and she ran off the side of a building to get away. (I never said she was intelligent.) The prison is run by a evil Warden (Away on vacation when the film begins.), his assistant, and "The Gang of Four." This gang is a group of powerful fighters who rule the inmates through fear. Now Ricky does not take kindly to their ways, fighting and killing Hai in a brutal exchange where Ricky must tie his severed tendons back together. After that the other three show up and gratuitously slaughter a few prisoners until Ricky backs down. Here is the legendary "Head Crush" scene, by the way.
Pretty soon the young warrior learns they are growing poppy in the prison. He sets fire to the crop and things really take off. The Warden returns and is quite angry about the uprising. Ricky kills the remainder of "The Gang of Four" and faces off against him, finally tossing the monster into a meat grinding machine!
I cannot say enough about the crazy number of body parts being mashed, at one point Ricky punches through the bottom of Taizan's jaw and out his mouth! On a "that is way nasty" note, the Assistant Warden keeps mints in his glass eye; it is hollow.
If you are of the hardy sort who loves crazy and bloody kung fu, this is your paradise. |

| The legendary "Head Crush" scene. This is just a part of the insane goodness, there are plenty of injuries which would make trauma room nurses faint.

This is one of the best (and worst) films I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scene with much concern over the death & crucification of a fellow inmate that Riki fought Oscar (one of the gang-of-4), but no-one blinked an eyelid over the poor bloke who had his head terminally happy-slapped, was hillarious. BTW I think the crows expected mints when Oscar's eye "flew" accross the courtyard - obviously Crows are not keen on intestines though.
I found the film extremely funny, with many, many, random, unexpected funny gruesome moments. And near the end when the Warden's arms "grew" in length, it reminded me of Mr Tickle from the Mr-Men.
Make sure you watch the dubbed version - it makes the film 100% funnier.

The first time I watched this movie, I watched it over and over again for like 5 times in a row. This has to be the most amazing thing ever put out on film. I still watch it like once a week and each time I find something new, like in one part how it's only raining on Riki, or the pornos on the shelf in the assistant warden's office.
"Rogan's kung fu is unorthodox" That's gotta be the best line ever in any movie. Where's the sequel already :P

Little known fact: the guy who played ricky's kung fu master should be recognizable from The Last days of planet earth 1974 as Dr. Nishyama the scientist no one would listen to about the end of the world.
