Summary: Good and strange postmodern popcorn movie is tainted by DVD
Review: It's great to see a movie like this being released on DVD so that you the better features and durability. Unfortunately, there aren't very many special features going on with this disc besides the music videos by the Red Elvises. No commentary, or cast interviews, or behind the scenes extras, or production notes. A film like this generates so much curiosity in my mind as to what went into it and it's just a bit disappointing that the DVD didn't have that many extras, that's all. The movie's really good though, if you like bizarre and cheesy movie's

Summary: strange strange...
Review: a Buddy Holly-like fighter figure trudges thru a Mad Max like carnage, meeting Terry Gilliam-esque & THe Warriors wannabe enemies. Trailed & occasionally helped by a little squirt of a kid who never talks until eventually baseball is mentioned. Buddy is on his way across the desert following Wolfman Jack's voice to Vegas, where he will be the next King. he's dogged by what look like the Four Metalheads of the Apocalypse, Death being a scarey resemblance to Slash of Guns& Roses. If 'Straight to Hell' had a sequel, this would be it.

Summary: Socko Indie Effort
Review: I have watched this Vid several times and passed it around a bunch. Of course all of my Martial Arts friends loved it, all of my musician friends loved it, my kids loved it, but my Mom fell asleep. She could sleep through the apocalypse. The end left me a little sad but the beat goes on. The sound track by the Red Elvises is huge plus. I rated the flic at 4 stars cuz there were a few lapses in editing rhythm. This film is a HOOT !

Summary: Say "Cheese!"
Review: Sure, fine... this movie doesn't have much of anything positive for it. Bad acting, bad action, bad story, plot, execution... even the comedy is pretty bad.But for some strange... absurd... unexplicable reason... I like this film! Maybe it is the pure campyness.. somewhat reflective of a bad attempt at a Sam Rami film... I don't know... rent it, buy it... catch it on TV. Watch it!

Summary: Horrific! DO NOT WATCH! DO NOT BUY!
Review: The only good thing about this movie is that it has an appearance by the Red Elvises. The kid in the movie should be beaten with a blunt object rather slowly for the painful performance he inflicts upon the viewer. He screams periodically for no reason. The principal character has no character; add that to the lack of plot and you have a real piece of shinola.

Summary: A glaring look into the future, hope fights despair
Review: Six-String Samurai is unlike any movie I have ever watched. Working for the entertainment industry lets me see a lot of "would be and has been" actors, but Jeffery Falcon has serious potential. Take the code of Bushido, and mix it with sound and name of Buddy Holly and Elvis, then add a dash of modern punk-rock, then you've got the settings for a movie that makes you watch it again and again. The movie is based on a post-nuclear Nevada that only has one major city "Lost Vegas". Many try to be the king, but Death always catches them before the gig. Buddy just wants to be all he can, and when he picks up a orphaned "Kidd", the movie just picks up! The Six String Samuria may look low budget, and yes you may call it a B-Movie if you will. But if you look around, and see all of the actors right now, and watch this film, you'll get a greater appreciation for those "Other" films.

Summary: Death in a Top Hat?
Review: This is by far one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen (and I just had my head shaved), and I loved it. So camp, so bizzare, and so freekin' strange! I will admit, the first time I watched the reincarnation of Buddy Holly trying to get to a post-apocolyptic Las Vegas to be crowned the King, I asked the screen, (what the hell is going on?' But who would pull a sword from his guitar and attack 500 Russians (`Shoot him!'`We can't. We ran out of bullets years ago..'). Those of you have read my reviews know cinetography and soundtrack are huge. Okay, the color is washed, and Death duels Buddy in the desert with electric guitars. The Red Elvis's make a cameo in a roofless bar, and IT ALL WORKS! This is a classic $50 budget good vs evil ballad. I do not review bad films and give them good ratings. I give each film its due. This is a DVD for fans of Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness (you freaks know who you are), Dead Alive, Cherry 2000, and Welcome to Woop Woop (you're an ignorant fool to miss that most excellent Aussie comedy. Cult classics that put Ed Wood the Movie to sleep). I will warn you, the first time you watch Buddy draw his sword will make you think of Broken Arrow in the way it is filmed. By the way, there are NO huge stars in this movie, but it doesn't matter. This movie has the touch of Terry Gilliam and we all know he's tweaked to the Nth. This is a Braveheart and Armageddon fan talking, and you will find this flick mesmoring. At first, I was a skeptic, but trust me. You know, I am never wrong.

Summary: a very respectable independant film
Review: this film had alot of charisma. amazingly enough, there was hardly any blood shed, and that made the movie even better. the violence was tasteful and not over done. the action sequences were well choreographed. the characters were memorable and lots of fun. very few people would take the chance to make a film such as this, im glad someone did.
