[edit] Plot
"ROCK 'N ROLL!!!"
After attending a concert by Guitar Wolf, the band he idolises, wannabe rock 'n' roller Ace inadvertently rescues the band when they find themselves held at gunpoint by the venue manager.
In return for the favour, Guitar Wolf make Ace their blood brother and give him a special whistle with instructions to blow it if he ever needs their help.
Help is needed sooner than might reasonably have been expected when shortly after meeting Tobio, the possible girl of his dreams, Ace finds himself surrounded by the living dead who have risen from the grave to feast on the living in time-honoured fashion.
Soon Guitar Wolf arrive on the scene and they, Ace, Tobio and a local arms dealer called Yamazaki join forces to battle the zombie army and the invading fleet of UFOs that raised it.
Wild Zero is not a film for those who do not like their comedy mixed with their horror.
Sure, the special effects are bad, but it works for this film the same way that the bad CGI in Shaolin Soccer only added to the cartoony feel of that film.
Wild Zero is not all that horrific, either. Even considering all the gore, it's still obvious that this movie is all about fun.
And rock 'n roll.
