Recently having a good run of viewing movies I've been meaning to watch for ages,I decided to take a look at the titles I'm hoping to sell after viewing. Buying this (thankfully cheap) due to it being a bit pricey online, I got set to count the "wild" zeros.View on the film:Made on a budget lower than the band members quiffs,co-writer/ (with Satoshi Takagi) director Tetsuro Takeuchi & cinematographer Motoki Kobayashi attempt to play Sci-Fi/zombie Horror and weird Road Movie notes all at the same time. Shot on flat digital video,Takeuchi fails to light any of the Grindhouse sparks on offer,with the Psychobilly songs played by the band (whose faces are stuck in mildly disinterested mode) being badly mashed In the audio,and the zombie/UFO effects looking cheap and grotty. Attempting to go for a dreamy vibe in the screenplay, the writers instead turn it into a nightmare, via none of the characters being given a distinctive edge,and the Sci-Fi/Horror elements being left to hit bum notes.

Wild Zero is one loud, funny, gory trip through trash-movie-history, and director Tetsuro Takeuchi seems to be a big George A. Romero / Tarantino-enthusiast. While the plot is rather weird (aliens wake the dead, and a shy rock'n'roll boy tries to save his girl out of this zombie mess with the help of the mighty, mighty GUITAR WOLF-guys. Girl turns out to be a boy, too, and Guitar wolf Teshij teaches our hero a lesson:"rock'n'roll has no boundaries! not in gender, religion or race!") the movie is stuffed with quotes from other cool flicks like "the great rock'n'roll swindle", Romero's Zombie-trilogy, from dusk till dawn, mars attacks, and the soundtrack is a nice-bundled package of R'n'R-, Surf,-or Punk Rock-songs making you jump off your sofa and freak out - check out "roaring blood" performed by GUITAR WOLF!! I really liked this movie and wait for the planned sequel......:)

His guitar is a sword. He cuts the spaceship down with it. Guitar wolf is so cool that his coolness defies all possible rational explanation. No one could possibly out do his coolness.

Okay, since I have to come up with ten lines on a movie that I thought was basically cult cinema (I love cult cinema guys, I love Harold and Maude, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Donnie Darko, etc.), I just really wanted to point out similarities between American cult movies and Japanese cult movies. I think this movie was kinda like a Japanese version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. In Wild Zero you have Guitar Wolf, and they are a band in real life-like Meatloaf was for Rocky Horror Picture Show. He came out of the freezer singing and the band in Wild Zero is introduced on stage and I think they have some similarities in that both movies revolve around the rock and roll culture. Past that, there aren't many things they have in common-Rocky Horror Picture Show was aliens and Wild Zero was zombies, etc. etc. I just find it absurd that no one has made the connection between these two movies yet.
