American Rickshaw
American risciò
After a stripper tricks him into filming a sex tape, Miami rickshaw runner Scott Edwards becomes embroiled in the murder of a televangelist's son when he inadvertently takes the wrong videotape. With the help of the stripper and a witch, Edwards sets out to clear his name while avoiding the assassin dead-set on retrieving the tape.
Why it matters
A neon-soaked late-’80s grindhouse mashup where urban crime thriller crashes into occult horror with a dash of sleazy Miami vice flair.
- Practical effects and pulpy violence lean into that low-budget charm only late ’80s genre flicks could pull off.
- The bizarre premise blends slasher-style chase tension with witchcraft and supernatural twists—an oddball hybrid for fans of offbeat cult horror.
- If you dig VHS-era sleaze, synth-heavy soundtracks, and the kind of ragged energy that comes from zero-budget ambition, this is a guilty pleasure worth hunting down.
- Don’t expect polish or narrative cohesion—this is grindhouse roughcut cinema, where atmosphere and weirdness trump logic every time.
