Movie

Ricky 1

1986 · 90 min

A silly, joke-a-minute spoof that coasts on broad gags and low-budget charm rather than real stakes.

Tagline: It does to boxing what "Airplane!" did to flying.
Overview: In this parody of the Rocky films, Ricky Wanero is a male gigolo and stripper who sets out to beat "The Champ" in the boxing ring.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, sport, class, identity
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
