In 1992, the same year that Tsui Hark made ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'', a film that re-defined Martial Arts cinema as a dignified and genuinely artistic medium that portrayed Kung Fu as a metaphor for Chinese cultural pride, along came Lam Ngai-Kai, an obscure Grindhouse director. With the rights to a manga called ''Manga/RikiOh'' in one hand and a shoestring budget in the other, he set out to make the most faithful live action adaptation of a manga ever. 9 disastrous over budgeted months later, ''The Story Of Ricky'' was born.
