Customer Reviews of Six-String Samurai

Mutants, Cannibals, Rockers, Wannabes, and Bowlers (to mention a few); this film has it all. Jeffery Falcon stars in this painfully stylish movie as Buddy, the Six-String Samauri.

The Russians dropped the bomb, Elvis is dead, and Lost Vegas needs a new king. That's enough to drive any movie, eh? Death is commonplace in this Mad Maxesque landscape. Not only people meet with their demise, but the mythical figure himself (playing heavy metal of course) appears often throughout the movie as a contender for the title of King Of Rock 'n Roll.

The brilliantly cast Jeffery Falcon shines as Buddy for this movie's duration. He delivers his lines with timing and flair that are perfectly suited to their appropriate cheese level. His sword destroys all in it's path with the untouchable god-like ability present in any Anime.

The original soundtrack, mainly by the Red Elvises, is impeccably fitting for the setting, Nevada. It is unlike any movie soundtrack I have ever heard and that's incredibly refreshing. The rockabilly/classic country mix (vith rusheen achsants) is both humorous and appropriate.

The only downside of this movie is the kid who tags along with Buddy and always gets him into trouble. The kid himself is not the problem, it's just that for the first half of the movie his only lines are piercing yells, about 15 of em. Obviously this begins to grate at the nerves a bit.

Other than that, Six-string Samauri is a breath of fresh air with beautiful cinematography to boot. Everyone (and their moms) with even the slightest hint of a sense of humor should thoroughly enjoy this post-apocalytic rockabilly thrill ride from hell.

This samurai is one happenin' cat, man!
How can you not like a movie as wildly immaginative as Six-String Samurai? To put it simply; this movie rocks! A post-apocolyptic adventure that features echoes of everything from Kurosawa, Woo, and the Mad Max series to Shane and The Wizard of Oz, Six-String Samurai takes all of these elements(and several others) and melds them into a highly entertaining and original concoction. Jeffery Falcon turns in a fantastic performance as Buddy, a samurai guitarist who is going to Lost Vegas to become the next King. His report with the orphaned child works quite well and is, in fact, quite touching. Death is hillariously portrayed as a heavy metal Slash clone, complete with wigged-out flunkies who sound like they've been sucking on a helium tank. The cast of loonies that Buddy and the kid encounter sends up any number of post-nuke pictures. Psychotic bowlers, gumball hurling barbarians and a Mexican midget are just a few members of the film's rouge's gallery. Contributing an excellent assortment of songs is the Russian group The Red Elvises. It works perfectly, warranting a few extra dollars to purchase the soundtrack album. This film is a blast from start to finish. See it. You won't be disappointed!

Cool film ruined by one poor character choice.
Like most people, I heard about this film long before I finally got around to seeing it on TV. Mostly I heard that it was some kind of kung-fu movie that was trying to cash on the whole swing music revival of the mid-90s. I must admit, that this would have been a very interesting movie, if not for one character. The squealing wild boy. At the start of the film, the six string samurai runs afoul of a feral kid who becomes his traveling companion through out the film. Unfortunately, this kid communicates via a high pitched, loud grunting sound. A very annoying high pitched loud grunting sound. This kid is constantly on screen, more than the samurai, grunting ever louder and being annoying. After a while, you realize that this character is not going to shut up, and is going to ruin the entire movie!

This film would have been a thousand times better if they had made that kid a mute. Because this irritant kid's sound is heard at nausea through the run of the film, you will soon begin to hate this kid. You accurately begin to look forward to the scenes were he is silent, and shivers run down your spine when he reappears, with his loud squeal. Go ahead and watch this film, but keep the mute button handy.
