Synopsis

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.

eborges81 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........
victorboston While neither the script nor the acting gain sufficient momentum to truly involve the viewer, the film's premise - a sword-wielding Buddy Holly on the road to a post-Appocaliptic Las Vegas is irresistibly twisted.The film feels ad-hoc and empty at times, coming up far short of a masterpiece. But never-mind - the deficiencies of the story and the lack of depth don't quite manage to sink Six String Samurai. They are balanced, at least in part, by the film's on screen presence and undeniable visual appeal.Six String Samurai is, above all, a film school kind of film (it is, in fact, a film school thesis project). Careful cinematography, surprising attention to detail and a love for the art make this movie memorable and surprisingly enjoyable.
syarzhuk This movie is one of the most original and fun movies ever made. There are so many good parts to it, I would fail trying to list all of them. The acting is great, the jokes are funny, the music is awesome, the shoots are eye candy. Get it on DVD for never-ending fun! Too bad this seems to be the only movie Lance Mungia ever made'We saw Red Elvises at a concert and we would yell "Nice shoes!" to them between songs :) Here's a (poor quality) video for Red Elvises' song "Lovepipe" that consists of outtakes from this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyHc0ysKy4s
nalm961 Aside from a heart pumping and catchy soundtrack which only serves to embed the imagery into the mind of the audience, this well done film offers up many memorable quotes alongside the humor which is sometimes so subtle, it takes a moment for the concept to hit. As previously stated, this was very well written and shows that the overall sum of a movie's greatness does not stem from the film's multi-million dollar budget, or that Hollywood's over-paid and untalented (but very well-known) actors, are always only hype. B-Movies are a dying breed and in my opinion all about doing the best with what you have...not doing a lot, because you can afford it. I recommend this movie to all my friends, and ultimately, the only issue that arises is the sheer annoyance of the Kid and the eventual destruction of the hero.
