Ricky 1 is a 1988 low-budget spoof film, parodying the first film in the Rocky series. The titular character, Ricky Wanero, is a male gigolo, stripper (The Italian Donkey), and fish market trainee[1] who sets out to beat the "Silver Shadow" (known throughout the film as "The Champ") in the boxing ring. His other adversaries include the Bolivian Bomber and the Mafia. It contains many sight gags, as well as slapstick comedy in the vein of Airplane!. The film never had a theatrical release, being a direct-to-video release. As of September 12, 2006, the film has been re-released to DVD. The DVD and VHS tagline states that Ricky 1 "it does to boxing what Airplane did to flying."[1]
