Description:
Japan’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Zombie Horror Classic Is Finally Coming To DVD! Ace, a rockabilly fan who really wants to be cool, is on his way to seeing his favorite group Guitar Wolf when a strange thing occurs . . . aliens invade the Earth and people start returning to life as flesh-eating zombies! Enlisting the help of the (real-life) Japanese rock/ punk band Guitar Wolf (and self-proclaimed coolest rock band in the world), Ace and the members of the band get entangled in many misadventures with crazy rock managers in very tight shorts, transsexuals, naked women shooting guns in the shower, and bloodthirsty zombies ready to tear them apart. Leather jackets, loud over-modulated music, laser guitar picks, motorcycles, muscle cars, and LOTS of fire . . . it’s all right here! Did we also happen to mention flesh-eating zombies? Think Dawn of the Dead meets Kiss meets The Phantom of the Park with the humor of Evil Dead 2 and that’s what Wild Zero is all about!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Zombies, Punk Rock and Aliens Equals Pure Campy Fun!
WILD ZERO (2000) is living proof just how weird, oddly brilliant (at the same time stupid) and outrageously cheesy Japanese films can be. Granted this style of filmmaking is not for everyone. This film pretty much has everything from zombies, aliens, rock & roll, super powered rock stars, zombie and transgender love...There's crowbar brutality, bazooka abuse, razor-sharp laser targeting GUITAR picks, electrical eyebeams and a gun-slinging shower scene...The film is NOT to be taken seriously, ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wild, indeed
Wild Zero is a Japanese movie featuring music group Guitar Wolf, who is also the singer of the band. I started watching this movioe twice but only made it in about 20 minutes before I turned it off and gave up. A friend urged me to give it one more shot and I did and fell in love with it. So if you watch it, give it more than 20 minutes, it becomes really funny/interesting/cool.

Wild Zero is kind of like Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Park combined with a Japanese version of The Ramones ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Cheesy Rock'n'Roll Zombie-Fest
You have to be a die-hard Guitar Wolf fan, or a complete lover of zombie films to really like this film. While I like every genre on the Japanese or any Asian film market, zombie films are really not my type of films. So, I might be a bit biased against the film. But I do know what I like, and this film really takes quite a lot of will power to watch. At least "Battlefield Baseball" had a few funny things going for it. This one as I wrote before is really for the die hard fan of the zombie genre. The ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - . . . for hardcore punk and/or zombie fans only . . .
In a nutshell: "Dawn of the Dead" by Romero meets "Lola" by the Kinks with a little bit of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "The Crying Game" thrown in for good measure.

Plot Summary: A Japanese Rock and Roll Wannabe (Ace), complete with black leather jacket and motorcycle, happens to be in a small town in Japan that just happens to be ground zero for an alien invasion, via zombies. Along the way the band Guitar Wolf, a corrupt manager, an gunrunner/mercenary, and 3 slackers wander through ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must-have for your DVD collection
I love this film. not such a huge fan of the band, only a little one, but this still it's so~ awesome!. not mislead you into that it's award winning material. It's pretty B-grade. but it's such a B-grade film, It's so bad, it's good! ROCK & ROLL~!!

And if you don't check it out, zombies will come eat your brains! @W@
