Ricky 1

I personally never heard of this movie until AVGN reviewed it back in 2008. It's essentially a god-awful Naked Gun-esque comedy with a no-name cast. The so-called sight gags are just unfunny and painful, including a scene that parodies The Godfather with the Corelone look-alike just mumbling and groaning for the filmmakers to fool the audience into thinking he's just that hard to understand. Half of the film actually has nothing to do with the story. I can obviously tell why this was released straight to video, probably to avoid a lawsuit from ol' Sly himself.

It's a decent parody with some hilarious gags, amazing performances, great sound effects and adorable characters.

"I'll say this Quadaro, he's all heart. *shows him in heart costume*" This line pretty much sums up this horrid movie. In this movie that was written in 5 minutes, we get a bunch of bad jokes, and gags that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. This is supposed to parody Rocky, but about half of it isn't even close to the Rocky movie. If you actually put effort into your film, you won't end up like this, even if the film sucks. At least people will give you credit for the effort. This film has no redeeming qualities at all. There is nothing of value or great remembrance in this movie. It is pure trash, and there is no wonder not many heard of it.

I was interested in seeing this movie if only because the Angry Video Game Nerd used this as the film he would review upon challenge by the Nostalgia Critic. I had certainly never heard of this before and it makes sense. I find it amazing that I could find more than one VHS cover of this awful film. What really makes this movie painful is that it's one of the shoddiest looking movies I've seen in my whole life. The lighting effects are outright terrible. Everything is filmed in the dark and the quality looks like it was made in the 1960's, not the 1980's! This was released the same year as the B-movie "Alien From LA" and that movie looks gorgeous compared to this. Basically, this is a feature length spoof of "Rocky".

I guess this was the time spoof movies were the worst things we as humans ever made. This is basically a lengthy sequence of unfunny unrelated scenes that amount to nothing. There's a subplot about Ricky's girlfriend leading a rape therapy group. There's also an exploding doormat plot and a plot about some parody of "The Godfather" talking about porn. Not only does none of this have anything to do with Rocky, it has nothing to do with anything at all. There's one scene where Ricky mentions how his girlfriend doesn't like to see him box. We then see a photograph of her covering her face with her hand. Is that the joke? It's really hard to even tell if half the stuff in this movie is a joke or meant to be taken seriously. Either way, it's horrible and I am so glad this film has faded into obscurity and you will never be unfortunate enough to watch it. 1/2*

I would have never have even known about the film if it weren't for the ever famous James Rolf reviewing it, this is... Terrible! The jokes are as about as lame and cheap shot as the ones in Epic Movie, this is what a 80's Selzter and Frieberg film with no budget would be like! I'm surprised they even released this film, with a budget of about $20 I still doubt it made a profit.

I think what makes this worse is films like these are getting a budget today, even if the film disributors gave them a "$20" budget they're still stupid, did the creators really think the viewers would laugh at immature Sex and anti-religious jokes?
