Overview
Adventures of Johnny Tao is a kung fu and zombie film released in 2008 that is categorized as science fiction, action, adventure, and thriller.

The story follows Johnny Dow, who works at a small town gas station. He earns a living by charging travelers to view an electric guitar that once belonged to his late father, a one-hit rock and roll musician. According to local legend, the guitar is shaped like a dragon's head and was constructed using a piece of an ancient spear discovered in a shooting star crater. The plot escalates when Johnny's friend, Eddie, finds the remaining half of the spear, inadvertently releasing an ancient demon. A Chinese warrior named Mika appears to help Johnny confront Eddie and his army of kung fu warriors who possess a craving for sugar. The film has a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes.
