Wild Zero(2000 / R)
Let me start by describing the drinking game* that comes on the DVD for this movie...it will in and of itself describe how fucking awesome this movie is! So the DVD has this option where you can watch the movie while playing a drinking game based on the movie. Every time you should drink a beer icon will appear on screen! Here are the rules the drinking game:
- Drink anytime a head explodes
- Drink anytime someone says "Rock n' Roll"
- Drink anytime anybody combs their hair
- Drink anytime anybody drinks
- Drink anytime fire shoots out of ANYTHING!
Now i don't even need to describe what this movie is about because just by seeing what you have to drink for you KNOW it's gonna be good! Plus we played the drinking game while we watched it so my memory of what transpired during the film is hazy at best. So I'm going to cheat a little bit and just copy and paste the plot description from wikipedia.org:
Ace, a wannabe rock star, is on his way to a concert of the rock/punk band Guitar Wolf when aliens invade the Earth. As a consequence the dead rise to their feet in the countryside setting of Asahi, Japan, with an appetite for flesh. Enlisting the help of 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 bloodthirsty zombies ready to tear them apart. Leather jackets, loud over-modulated music, laser guitar picks, motorcycles, muscle cars, and fire abound. Guitar Wolf, a Japanese trio signed to Matador Records in the US --and self-proclaimed coolest rock band in the world-- star as the well-coiffed hipster heroes. It is also a love story.
I'll be completely honest with you, after having just read that plot description I still don't remember half of that stuff happening. So my 5 Bruce-Campbell head rating is based on watching the movie while playing the drinking game. If you watch it sober and it sucks then don't come complaining to me!
The one thing I do very vividly remember is this one quote from the film that is perhaps the most profound quote ever uttered in the history of cinema: "Love has no borders, nationalities, or genders!". Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
*After having played the drinking game on this DVD it is now my opinion that EVERY movie released on DVD should have a drinking game tied in! It's a must have feature!
