Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cult movies. I enjoy them so much I watch about every one I can sink my teeth into. But this was just.. a joke? The cover of the film looked cool and promising but when watching the film you'll soon discover that it has people who are not familiar with the concept of acting, the storyline is unoriginal and boring. This along with one other film are the worst movies I have seen in my life. I remember having finished watching this movie that I kind of lost faith in humanity. There was just something wrong with being able to make that piece of crap of a movie that it is. For anyone to rate this above 2 stars is mind boggling to me. And oh my dear God I can't see how it's getting 6.4 stars, unless the director and his crew hacked into this site and changed the score. Makes you wonder.

As a big camp-movie fan (A real one, rather than the people who only find the ones that get onto the shelves at Blockbuster), I am completely biased, as this is completely B-Rated.The only thing missing from this movie was zombies (and if they had been in this flick, I would have given it a ten). Six String Samurai looked great just from the description on the On-Demand screen.something along the lines of"Buddy, a fifties rock-and-roller must fight his way across post-apocolyptic US against pro bowlers, a cannibal "Cleaver" family, and even Death Himself in order to become the new rock and roll King!"If that concept sounds even remotely interesting to you, you're in for a blast.if not, screw off. You don't need the indie movie scene, and the indie movie scene doesn't need you.The movie starts out with the little whiny kid seeing his mother killed, which you'll be happy for pretty soon, because the little bastard is annoying as hell.Anyway, a Buddy Holly-like character runs in with a semi-hollow Gibson and a samurai sword, and goes at the bad guys.Now, repeat this ten times, add in some of the best characters you have ever seen (The Carver's were sheer genius), and you've got a damn good movie.Not to mention that the entire soundtrack is made up of classic surf tunes such as Misirou.Overall, great camp flick, and as a fan of the low-budget underdogs, I am very biased. If you like Night of the Living Dead, Dead Alive, Evil Dead, or anything at all with Bruce Campbell in it, you will enjoy this movie.And just a note, this movie was really cool from the beginning on, and you may not think it could get better, and then BAM! Bruce Campbell cameo! Just because of that, the movie should get one million out of ten, but, I omitted that fact from the actual rating, so just go enjoy it.

First, the bad stuff. The film will not appeal to people who can't deal with camp, with pure Lynch-like strangeness, or people who demand a big budget production.However, those who are willing to give an oddball film a chance will find this to be a real gem of an indie flick. Imagine if you will Buddy Holly, Mad Max, and Jet Li bundled into one character, fighting across a desolate warped postapocalyptic Nevada. The dynamics in the movie are all about conflict... Rock & Roll against Metal, Communism against Capitalism, bravery versus despair. Mix that in with "Weird West" touches, demented nuclear families, and warriors who duel with both blade and guitar. There is even a hint of the manga, "Lone Wolf and Cub" thrown in. That and some excellent Russian-influenced rockabilly.Some of the scenes fall flat, sure... but few movies try to reach for such imaginative and demented heights... and few succeed to this extend on a shoestring budget. Despite its shortcomings, the action sequences are exciting and well-done, and one really sees an American Apocalypse which never was -- but in some ways happened, in our heads, at least.

Aside from a heart pumping and catchy soundtrack which only serves to embed the imagery into the mind of the audience, this well done film offers up many memorable quotes alongside the humor which is sometimes so subtle, it takes a moment for the concept to hit. As previously stated, this was very well written and shows that the overall sum of a movie's greatness does not stem from the film's multi-million dollar budget, or that Hollywood's over-paid and untalented (but very well-known) actors, are always only hype. B-Movies are a dying breed and in my opinion all about doing the best with what you have...not doing a lot, because you can afford it. I recommend this movie to all my friends, and ultimately, the only issue that arises is the sheer annoyance of the Kid and the eventual destruction of the hero.
