How is the 1999 flick Wild Zero not one of the biggest Japanese cult horror favorites of all time? Imagine Baz Luhrmann, Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, and George Romero getting together to make a movie and you have this insane ride!
What does Wild Zero deliver?
– A rock and roll band music video during every zombie attack montage
– A fantasy rock star with a special weapon in his guitar (think Slumber Party Massacre 2)
– A greaser: sideburns, leather jacket, pompadour, comb, and all (think Asian Danny Zuko)
– A chick with a little extra something in her box (think The Crying Game)
– A love story
– A vengeful dude with a bowl cut wig and uber-tight shorts with lace-up sides
– A meteorite
– Gnarly gray zombies (think Dawn of the Dead zombies but creepier)
– Loads of gut munching
– Exploding zombie head bonanza
– Flying saucers
– A mother ship
– Zombie love
– Zombie kissing
– A zombie boss with eyes that shoot lasers
– Penis POV at a urinal
That’s all I’m going to say about Wild Zero. Isn’t that enough? This is one horror comedy rock concert action extravaganza every horror fan should see. Here’s the trailer:
