Stayed in last night and was strangely rewarded by a movie on SBS called Wild Zero. It was a Japanese film which combined zombies, UFO’s, Yakuza, big guns, teenage angst and masses of action. Our hero was one Guitar Wolf, a Rayban wearing rock and roller whose guitar never left his side throughout the film.

Classic scenes included Guitar Wolf being blown out of a warehouse loft by a crazed buisinessman with a bazooka, only to land neatly in a crouching positon, executing a power chord.. also the loved up teens who, as Zombies, seek each other out across the streets, only to find one another and enjoy a clumsy zombie snog. The final action scene has Guitar Wolf on top of a building beneath a soaring UFO mother ship (a la Independance day) and drawing a sword from the headstock of his guitar, the blade hidden inside the fretboard, slices through the belly of the spaceship gliding over him.

Fantastic stuff! See it!
