Movie Reviews of Wild Zero
Movie Review: OH MY 5 Stars
I bought this about two years or so ago on Ebay (bootleg) and its been one of my favorite b-movie zombie flicks EVER SINCE! My friends don't love this movie like I do, but I don't care. This movie is totally awesome and rediculous! Oh yeah. Guitar Wolf ROCKS LIKE A MUTHA!Ok, the story starts with UFOs flying towards the earth (you own't see them again until the end of the movie) and our hero, ACE, in his room rockin' out and coming his hair. He goes to see his favorite band, Guitar Wolf, and mayhem insues. He and Guitar Wolf (the singer/guitarist) become rock 'n' roll blood brothers, and whenever Ace is in trouble, the band comes to the rescue. Tons of zombies appear, a gender-bending "lady friend", whom Ace falls for, and lots of rock 'n' roll and exploding zombie heads. The only thing wrong with this movie is that all the head pops are CGI animation, but the movie more than makes up for it in pure wakiness!!
Anyone who likes Japanese movies/music, or just wants to see a fun zombie/punk rock flick, I highly recommend you buy this. If you enjoy it, you're awesome. But if you don't, well, that's your loss.
GUITAR WOLF RULES!!!!!
Movie Review: Beyond Rock and Roll!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie Rocks, and it Rolls, and it also does other things yet to be defined. Fans of the zombie movie genre will be pleased to see zombies doing things you don't see elsewhere - like making out! Fans of the rock 'n' roll movie genre will be pleased to see rock 'n' roll doing things you don't see elsewhere - like taking down huge alien spaceships! And fans of the Japanese movie genre will not be disappointed, as they will see Japanese people doing things you may or not see elsewhere but will never tire of.The special effects are brilliant, the music is awesome, and the hotpants are disturbing. It's laugh after laugh after hyperventilation after laugh! Oh, and there are parts where you won't laugh, too... you'll cheer. Even if you're sitting at home watching the movie by yourself, if you're like me, you'll find yourself hollering and screaming ROCK AND ROLL right along with Guitar Wolf!
I recommend this movie to everyone, including my grandmother, my three-year-old half-sister, and the late Strom Thurman.
Movie Review: Wild Zero fun rock and roll zombie movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Night of the Living Dead meets Rock 'n' Roll High School, this film's giddy energy and unrepentantly silly story line are a hoot and a holler of fun. Guitar Wolf, along with his bandmates Drum Wolf and Bass Wolf (all three of whom were reportedly blind drunk during the length of the shoot), make for convincing punk rock superheroes; in one scene Guitar Wolf dispatches with a gaggle of zombies with a hail of flying guitar picks, while in another he cleaves a UFO with a samurai sword stashed in the fret of his trusty instrument. Other characters, such as Makoto Inamiya's womanizing lounge-lizard villain and Haruka Nakajo as a sexy bazooka-wielding assassin, are equally pungent and delightfully bizarre. Shot in Thailand, the film's army of the undead was reportedly played by Thai military staff and their families. While not a film for the Steel Magnolias crowd, Wild Zero is an exuberantly weird and entertaining flick that is totally enjoyable and a fun movie to watch.Movie Review: 5 Stars
Hey now, this is MY kind of movie, rock'n'roll, zombies, space aliens, boy meets girl.....well, sort of. This one trashy fun wild ride of a movie, in my opinion. First off the heros of the film are the Japenese band Guitar Wolf, who are kind of like a more punky raw version of Motorhead, for want of a better description. And there's Guitar Wolf fan Ace, a 50's looking rock'n'roller with the 'do and all. This is about an alien invasion turning earth people into zombies, you never get to see the aliens but their spaceships are cool. This has all kinds of great music in the background too, from Surf to The Zero's doing "Wild Weekend". Guitar Wolf himself, while an unlikely hero, does it with style and NEVER changes expression once throughout the movie, which is pretty amusing in itself. For fans of rock'n'roll trash zombie cinema, you can't beat this. I loved every minute of it. HIGHLY recommended.Movie Review: Punk Rock, Zombies, Oh yes
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen some of the reviews on here saying this movie was dumb. Well, maybe it could be. But that is like saying a Mercedes is dumb. It's only dumb if you can't afford it but it's great for the people who love them
Same thing here. If you like The Ramones, Romero's Living Dead series, and the goofy like FX of Very Strange Video, you'll love it.
I've watched this movie probably 30 times. It's funny, and all around I liked it. It may not be for everyone. But I did want to make a reveiw showing the truth and not some wannabee film critic who has never made a movie in his life.
The Truth is simple, if you're into the somewhat odd, funny, B grade horror movies that are both funny, cheesy, and full of zombies, and you enjoy The Ramones or even the Misfits, well, BUY THIS, YOU'LL LOVE IT.
If you are more into serious movies, then don't.
