Absolut blast! I love showing it to people with no comment to see them react as the movie just gets gorier and crazier the longer it goes.
Big props to the actor of the main character for playing himself as a child as well.
A personal favourite - it's wildly over-the-top. I have it in Blu-ray (possibly twice) and DVD (my much-watched HKL edition).
I forgot HKL released Riki-Oh. I would like to own that.
My copy is currently out on loan and has been for a while. However, I am keeping a distant eye on it so it will return to me, I am just unsure in what state. Luckily I have the Blu-ray (twice).
