Thursday, April 7, 8 p.m.
The Aquarium (Dempsey’s upstairs), 226 Broadway N.
Grindflicks Movie Night at the Aquarium season ends with the 1991 martial arts film “Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky.” Based on the Japanese manga, the film takes place in 2001 when lead character Ricky Ho is sent to prison for murdering a crime boss who played a role in the death of Ricky’s girlfriend. In prison, he must defend himself from the brutal Gang of Four and the prison’s corrupt warden. The film is known for its excessive violence and poor overdubbing, adding humor to a poorly-made film. As with other movie nights, there will be vintage movie trailers shown and you can bring your own chair should you desire.
