Six-String Samurai Trailers

In a post-apocalyptic world where the Russians have taken over a nuked USA and Elvis is king of Lost Vegas, Buddy is a '50s rocker and wandering warrior rolled into one, too-cool package. Armed with his six-string in one hand and his sword in the other, Buddy is on his way to Vegas to succeed Elvis as King. Along the way, he saves an orphan who decides to tag along.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

'Six-String Samurai' is nice quirky action adventure where main hero with guitar skills like Buddy Holly and martial arts skills like Bruce Lee, tries to reach into Lost Vegas (Las Vegas) to become the new King. Low budget action romp with lots of heart. The film never takes itself seriously, but it doesn't fall into (self)parody. Also, this films shouldn't be taken as parody of martial arts genre, rather than a humble homage. Another strong side of 'Six-String Samurai' is that it establishes it's own rules at the very beginning at stays true to them till the very end, thus making lot of absurdity believable in the frames of it's own universe.It was intended to be a trilogy and it is actually sorry that we never could see the sequels. Or Jeffrey Falcon (who was also screenwriter for 'Samurai') to act any other films after that.P.S. Title of my review refers to Buddy Holly and Toshiro Mifune.

A very tongue in cheek send up of all those dystopian action adventure thrillers of the seventies, eighties, and nineties, Six-String Samurai is also very self-effacing, but stylish. The story is a combination of a road-trip, Mad Max beyond thunderdome, and a fight to the death for wannabe RocknRollers, with a most unusual father-son dynamic thrown in. Jeffrey Falcon and Justin McGuire (as Justin McQuire) are amazing together, which is just as well, as they're on screen together for all but a few scenes, and the success of this film depended entirely on their working well together on screen. If you enjoyed the tone of "Some Guy Who Kills People", or the australian classic schlock comedy "Body Melt", then this is definitely for you.

Pathetic that this was actually made. I don't even know how this had a 2 million dollar budget. I can appreciate a film that was bad but genuine in trying to create a original movie. This movie on the other hand, was vexing each progressive minute. I cannot imagine the person that green lighted this project to still have a career or a reputation. I can only imagine the judges at the Slamdance Film Festival were paid off or on drugs when they recognized this piece of trash. If you don't believe this review go on youtube and check clips of the movie yourself. You'll thank me before spending any amount of money on this truly God awful indulgent film.

I'm not really sure what to make of this film. On a boring Friday night my girl and I decide to have a bad movie night. After starting out watching some terrible slasher film from the 80's we decide that it would be a good idea to watch this film.What makes this film so terrible? Just about everything. I think they had to have made it on a budget of about $20. That is the only thing that could describe why everything from the props to the makeup was done on the cheap. And when I say cheap, I mean bottom dollar buy at the dollar store kind of stuff.The only thing that kept me from crying while watching this film is that the little kid was kinda funny. Instead of really talking like a normal person, every once in a while he would just shout ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Or something pretty close to that.Overall this movie is terrible. One of the worst I have ever seen in my life. If you want something really bad to watch then you can rest either this or a league of their own........
