Summary: I laughed, I cried, I romanced myself with a broomstick
Review: This is perahaps one of the most artistically flawles films ever seen by man. It was an absolute cinamatic masterpiece. It is the movie upon which all other should be compared. It defined our generation, and every other generation for that matter. As many of my colleagues have pointed out the cinamatography was genius, the acting was superb, the direction was perfection, and the plot was nothing short of divine. It is the king of films....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It has to get better.
Review: We've all seen movies that we thought had to get better at some point, ending up watching the entire film when we should have left an hour earlier.

The cinematography was impressive and original. That's my excuse for the one star. The story was horrible. The acting was good, given the fact that they had no script to work with.

This is a film that had no business being made. I think it would have worked marginally well as a comic book, but I can't say for certain.

Only in LA could people like this film, where everyone professes to love everything no matter how bad it truly is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Buddy Holly will kick ...
Review: I found this movie to be one the best "college made" movies ever. The uniqueness of the story, the characters, and the alternative path that America could have fallen into was a great artistic perspective.

Don't expect the glitz of Hollywierd. Expect a surreal, desert odyssey of "Buddy" (Holly) combating his way to Lost Wages (Los Vegas) while combating Evil Elvis' on the way.

Very well done and certainly something I have never seen before.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't Be Expecting Something Normal
Review: Six-String Samurai is one crazy movie, and it's great.... The movie is postapocalyptic. The U.S. has been taken over by Russia, except for the haven of freedom, Las Vegas. There, Elvis has, of course, been made king. But, Elvis had to die sometime, and here comes Buddy to take the job. Of course, there is always Death to mess with, and the sword-weilding Buddy has to duel the Slash-clone Death. Yeah, this movie has a case of severe insanity. It's really hilarious. I love how Buddy can [dispatch] hundreds of enemies without getting blood on his sword and without touching half of them. I love all of the characters of the movie. I love how no guitarist has to have a plug-in of any type to play. I love how elements from everywhere in pop culture (like The Wizard of Oz) are combined. Six-String Samurai is not a normal movie, and it is not for every taste. People who do keep an open mind when watching it do have a good chance of enjoying it, though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Music Can Make The Movie
Review: Six String Samurai is an excellent example of a B grade film which was made much better by an excellent soundtrack and good timing for the music. If the music hadnt been there the movie would have been painful to watch. With the music it becomes a neat romp of music,martial arts,apocalypse, and the mystique of the true king of rock and roll. It even takes time to make a few catch you off guard jokes such as when the hero says to a local band "nice shoes". With death arriving a few moments later and saying the same thing in the middle of a tirade against them. All in all if nothing else the cd is worth a second consideration and if you have a few bucks for those who have never seen it rent it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes I gave It A 5
Review: All I can say is wow! I just caught this movie on cable, and oh what fun they had! I plan to look into the Elvises for the simple reason that my four year old daughter enjoyed dancing to them more than the actual movie.... Not!

Both thing's combined worked well. With a low budget and the powers of superman this movie mends, for the simple reason of having a good time watching a movie.. Im stammered I really dont know what elese to say, but I hope more movies like this one are made, with better budgets, and less demands of great filmaking, just having fun.

I think this one should be a cult classic I think thats why it was made

Thank you guys for this film!

Summary: Rockin' good movie! Vegas has it's new king!
Review: Who says you need a big budget to make a cool, fun movie?...:)

'Six-String Samurai' is just a plain fun movie. It crosses somany different genres it's unbelievable. Imagine 'La Bamba' set in thepost-nuclear strike of 'Mad Max' and you have a tiny inkling of whatthis film is about.

Buddy, the horn-rimmed rockabilly samurai,travels across the deserts and wastelands, fighting (and fighting andfighting) past various different freaks and weirdo's to get to LostVegas, where they need a new King of rock n' roll. On the way he hooksup with a mono-syllabic orphan who plays an important role (if thereare actually any) in the film.

This isn't even a movie that shouldbe explained. The words 'samurai' and 'rockabilly' in one sentenceshould tell you this ain't 'Schindlers List', buts it's a movie thatstotally fun and drips cool. Sure, it drags a bit, and the fighting(and fighting and fighting) does get tedious after a while. But theenergetic soundtrack (the Red Elvis's, baby!) and Falcon's low-keycharacter make it watchable. Just an awesome movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This movie is a waste of time.
Review: When you think "shall we turn this off, or just finish it" and others begin leaving within the first 10 minutes of a movie, it's certainly a waste of time/money. It's not funny, it's certainly not serious, there was no plot, in general: no point. The filming was done perfectly however, which I do not understand. Where did they get such a budget? ugh.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth the time it takes to read this review
Review: If you're an adolescent boy who has seen about 5 movies in your limited life (three of them being Mad Max films), or if you really get off on awful, low-budget cinema along the lines of "Plan 9 from Outer Space," then you'll probably enjoy this perfectly wretched execution of a perfectly brilliant premise. Otherwise, don't bother.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you were me...you'd be good looking.
Review: It's amazing. Your sitting there, hoping to god, that someone, someday, will make a good movie. Then your friend who works at a video store brings home a movie called "Six String Samurai". So you put it on the back burner, and continue watching your mindless cable shows like "Temptation Island". Finally your brain has gone into shock and you cant breath. Will nothing save you from this in-it-for-the-money, forget the story hell?? Yes. Six String Samurai will. You run to the stove, grab the movie and throw it in the vcr. And what plays upon this little screen before you is possibly one of the best pieces in cinematic history. A movie, possibly built around one liners, that has never a dull moment, entrances you. There's an amazing plot meant to be laughed at and cinematography meant to be praised. You finish the movie with a tear in your eye, joy in your heart, and quirky one-liners in your head you plan on using on your friends when the time is right. And yes, yes, you now feel like picking up the guitar again, and perhaps taking some martial art classes. But most of all, you can breath again, knowing that the Six String Samurai is out there, watching over you. Protecting you from the inherent evil that is bad cinema.
