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.

Six-String Samurai Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
merkonfire The comical tale of a wandering warrior in the post-apocalyptic world of Nevada. While not an extremely deep film the rock and roll falls nicely in place with the martial arts making a surprisingly good action comedy. A lot of influence from Akira Kurosawa and Chinese action which surprised me the first time I saw this American film. The acting is fresh and fits nicely with the overall tone. Altogether Six-String Samurai accomplishes more than the average action and sticks out among the throng of post-apocalyptic movies. It has some beautiful images too. Six-String Samurai is worth watching for anybody looking for a fresh comical approach to Chinese/Japanese style martial arts.
taguilar87 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.
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........
Guardian978 This is an absolutely awesome piece of American cinema. It's just absolutely indescribable; there are two groups of people in this world, those who have beheld the awesomeness of this movie, and those who think the first group is just weird. If you don't think it's awesome, then obviously you haven't beheld it and are therefore in the latter group. Buddy Holly is a samurai-sword wielding, kung-fu-fighting, guitar-picking hero making his way across a post-apocalyptic desert in order to become the new King of Lost Vegas. He's pursued by Death, who looks like a combination of Rob Zombie and Slash from Guns N' Roses. The fight scenes are awesome and have an amazing soundtrack to them, and the dueling guitars scene near the end is one of the coolest confrontations ever. I can't gush about this movie enough. If I could give it a higher rating than a 10, I would.
