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.

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........

***Warning: Contains mild spoilers***Well, what can you say about this picture? Does it have good acting? Certainly not. Does it have a good story? No. Is it watchable? Strangely, it is (once anyways).The micro-formula for the movie can be reduced to this: Hero finds kid and tries to get rid of him. Kid is thereby brought into a position where he will be in danger from random weirdly dressed group. Kid screams. Hero returns and dispatches group with repeated (and repetitive) sword action. Hero wants to leave. Kid screams. Kid finds some random form of transportation, fixes it and is taken along by hero. Cut to 'Death' group, that chases our hero, killing some random guy.Rinse. Repeat. (Ad nauseam)So why did I not turn it off after the third or fourth repetition? Simply because I wanted to find out what weirdly dressed up group would enter next.The music is strange. Swordfighting to boogie or polka feels...weird. The music used in Quentin Tarantino flicks for similar scenes is 'fitting' by comparison. The dialog (what little there mercifully is of it) isn't worth listening to. Some of it even doesn't make sense given the 'history' they had set up in the opening credits. The kid, thank god, only screams and doesn't talk too much else.Not to spoil the climax or anything, but did anybody else think the resolution to the final fight was bizarre? At that point I might have suspected that the movie was supposed to be a spoof - if it had been funny at any other time prior to that.So I'll give it a 4/10. You can rent and watch it once. The movie will probably be -barely- worth the fee for you.

I really liked this movie and found it to be fairly entertaining. Most everyone that I have watched it with were less than thrilled, but a few liked it as much as I did. So If you do decide to check it out I recommend popping the .99cents and watching it alone before you spring it on anybody else. Most reviews don't mention the music in the movie and I think its one of the strong points. I am biased because I am a big fan of guitars and guitar driven music. The story is original and not the cookie cutter kind of stuff that you usually see. So if your into guitars, martial arts and low budget B type movies then you will enjoy this.
