Daniel, trust me, that trailer may capture something of the film's cheesy insanity, but nothing of its bone-crushing, gut-wrenching extremity. Your eyes, like Ricky's, will bleed at the hyperbolic spectacle of it all…

Anton, that has to be the best recommendation for a film I've ever read. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi931397913/

Roddy Piper slinging it out with Keith David in 'They Live' for the stamina and total lack of any real fighting skills

Ngai Kai Lam's manga-based dystopian prison fantasy Lik Wong, or The Story of Ricky (1991), is way up there on my list, just for its sheer, beyond-surreal excess. Ricky's fists do not so much make contact with his many opponents as pass right through them – and in one scene Ricky out-Ramboes Rambo by using his own sinew to tie off a wound. It is not a film that is easily forgotten.

No Heat?! Does that count as a fight scene? It's more modern action opera…
