A mysterious and powerful hero of the classic kind, Buddy is as skilled with his guitar as he is with his samurai sword. Thrown together with a kid whom he saves in a spectacular battle, the two of them must now escape their enemies and reach "Lost Vegas," the rock 'n' roll capital of this future world. In the post-apocalyptic world of 1960s Nevada, a rock 'n' roll samurai on his way to Lost Vegas takes a young orphan boy under his protection as Death and his metalhead Horsemen chase after them. This should be a contender for the whole gamut of Oscar categories. Awesome and unbelieveable, an all time great, up there with Ripley's Believe It or Not, Star Wars and Casablanca. Certainly better than LOTR:TFOTR. While I was watching LOTR:TFOTR very curiously I looked at my watch a couple of times. Now while I watched SSS I just laughed all the way. This is the kind of movie that I like to watch. I give it 10 out of 10. _Six-String Samurai_ is an original movie creating a new piece of American mythos. Particularly as part of the post-Cold War era, it shows a fanciful "might have been". Along with an almost anime quality to the story, characters, and direction we see real people, real fears, and a struggle to maintain hope. A special appearance from the "Red Elvises" (Siberian surfer-punk band who created much of the soundtrack and had "good shoes") simply gives more colour to an already colourful and wonderful film.
