S3 Ep108: One of the differences between the Manga and the movie is that, in the Manga, Ricky has a pentagram on his hand. I think this might have something to do with why he is so powerful. I meant to talk about some of the differences between the two a little more, but they didn't seem to be anything too glaringly different. At least, from what I read.

"Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky" (1991) is an ultra-violent Hong Kong martial arts splatter film set in a dystopian future where prisons are privatized. The story follows Ricky Ho, a mysteriously strong martial artist with superhuman abilities, who is sent to a brutal prison after avenging his girlfriend’s death. Inside, he takes on a corrupt warden and sadistic inmates, using his bare hands (often literally) to dish out justice.
The film is infamous for its over-the-top gore, absurd fight scenes, and cult status, making it a favorite among fans of wild, exploitation-style cinema. It's based on a Japanese manga and blends martial arts action with outrageous comic book violence.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
