Wild Zero is a
2000 Japanese "Jet rock 'n' roll"
zombie horror comedy cult classic directed by
Tetsuro Takeuchi, and starring the Japanese
garage punk band
Guitar Wolf. It borrows many elements from other popular
B-movies such as
Psychomania and
Evil Dead II.
Guitar Wolf Energetic lead singer and guitarist of the band
Guitar Wolf. Rides a specially designed motorcycle (with a liquor bottle holder up front) and is the aggressive action hero of the group. Also acts as Ace's moral guide, much like Elvis guides Clarence in
True Romance. Never without his guitar which turns out to house a samurai sword hidden in the instrument's neck. In another memorable scene, he throws guitar picks as if they were
shuriken.
Bass Wolf Band member, bassist, and drug enthusiast. Usually rides in car with Drum Wolf. Although more quiet than Drum Wolf, he is more violent, often punching characters who annoy him.
Drum Wolf Drummer of the band. Usually rides in car with Bass Wolf. He is usually seen with a cigarette, though in one scene he appears only to be chewing on it. He is the most loud and obnoxious member of the group, sometimes yelling at other characters.
Ace
Self-proclaimed "biggest Guitar Wolf fan in the world" with dreams of hitting it big as a musician himself (though never seen with an instrument in the entire film). Slightly goofy, but has heart in the right place, and is thoroughly filled with love of Rock 'N' ...
