Movie Reviews of Wild Zero
Movie Review: Hilarious and bizarre
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend and I saw "Wild Zero" at a zombie film fest and halfway through the film we knew we would want to watch it over and over again. The plot is bizarre and seemingly cobbled together with every concept, special effect or catch-phrase that the filmmakers could come up with (Japanese rock-and-roll zombie film with aliens and Guitar Wolf saving the world.) Continuity, logic, and to some extent--taste---seems to have been thrown out the window in favour of a lot of fire, explosions, screaming and melodramatic expressions. The drinking game is pretty great but one can easily be too intoxicated early on in the film--and the film doesn't really pick up till it's nearly halfway through. A great film for anyone who is a fan of ludicrous cinema (or in the same vein as John Waters' early films like "Mondo Trasho" or "Desperate Living.")Movie Review: The Best Rock and Roll Movie In 40 Years
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, since The Beatles made "Help!". And we're talking about movies, NOT concert footage or documentaries, so I don't want to hear about "Stop Making Sense". Or "Gimme Shelter", "Woodstock", or even "Bring On the Night". And don't even think about bringing up "Rock and Roll High School". This is IT. This is THE ONE. "Wild Zero" could just have easily been made in the '50s (at 50+, I'm speaking from experience): UFOs, zombies, motorcycles, leather, and the Big Beat. And though it features a soliloquy worthy of Olivier by the amiable goofball "Ace" (just before taking a crowbar to a boat-load of zombies), it isn't Art, and doesn't pretend to be. What it is (man), is Fun with a capital F, from start to finish, and that is what rock and roll was always supposed to be about.Movie Review: zombies and rock n roll!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
rock n roll will never die and japanese rockabilly punk band Guitar Wolf is going to prove that to their mushroom wig, lace up hot pants wearin' manager- but there are space ship controlled zombies seeking flesh in daylight which may complicate a few things. but no worry, there's ace and a weapons supplier for the yakuza to help handle that...wild zero is an excellent horror/b movie and your not so average love story. i love this movie for its ridiculous characters and their antics. it's wildly inventive, but the japanese have a habit of creating insane scenarios so you can never expect the ordinary from them. if you like low-budget flicks, zombies, and a good laugh- buy it! and remember the words of guitar wolf: love has no race, nationality, or gender.
Movie Review: One of the best punk sci-fi films I have ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite Japanese films, Wild Zero is a Japanese punk sci-fi film with the taglines of "Brutality of Screen!", "Thrill, Speed and Stupid Zombies!" and actually delivers on these claims. The story is about a young rockabilly punker named Ace who is following his favorite band, Guitar Wolf, on tour. Ace passes through a town where a meteorite recently fell and causes the inhabitants to change into zombies and it is up to Guitar Wolf to save the day with their magic powers of rock and roll. Mix into this young love, a crazy villain in hot pants and invading aliens and the result will blow you away. Wild Zero is great film that incorporates the mythology of Rock and Roll well and is also good trashy fun.Movie Review: a million stars
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're into stuff like[...](and why wouldn't you be, for gods sake) this is your movie. Never has there been such an unrestrained indulgence in all things that are awesome. This goes beyond the self-conscious spoof or the hapless low-budget B-movie, into its own realm of pure KICKASS. Every guitar player should probably own this dvd. There is a drinking game included in the special features, or at least there is on my copy. And let's just say, Guitar Wolf's climactic defeat of the UFOs is possibly the most amazing thing ever put on film.
ps. when ace discovers "the truth" about Tobio, make sure you pause the dvd to catch the little graphic that flashes. too funny
