Wild Zero (1999)

There are garage-rock bands, and then there’s Tokyo terrors Guitar Wolf. Your typical garage band might make your ears ring; this one kills zombies. ” Pitchfork

JAPAN’S ROCK N ROLL ZOMBIE HORROR CLASSIC!
For the first time in Australia, Guitar Wolf’s feature length rock’n’roll alien zombie apocalypse flick will be shown on the big screen. And it will be introduced by Guitar Wolf themselves!

Ace, a rock’n’roller who really wants to be cool, is on his way to see his favorite rock group, Guitar Wolf, when a strange thing occurs… aliens invade the earth and people start returning to life as flesh-eating zombies! Enlisting the help of the (real life) Japanese rock/punk band Guitar Wolf, Ace and the members of the band get entangled in many misadventures with crazy rock managers in very tight shorts, transsexuals, naked women shooting guns in the shower and blood-thirsty zombies ready to tear them apart! Leather jackets, loud rock’n’roll, laser guitar picks, motorcycles, muscle cars and LOTS of fire… It’s all right here! Did we also happen to mention flesh-eating zombies?! Think DAWN OF THE DEAD meets KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK with the humor of EVIL DEAD 2 and that’s what WILD ZERO is all about.

Come along for a night of rock’n’roll craziness, with the Rack Off Records DJs in the lobby from 7pm. Show starts at 8.
