Six-String Samurai Reviews
Hail to the King, Baby
The first indie movie I ever loved begins with an awesome shot of an atomic bomb exploding, followed by the backstory. Russia bombed the US into the ground in 1957, the last location of America is Lost Vegas, where Elvis is crowned King. Fourty years later, the King is dead, and rockers across the post-apocalyptic wasteland are traveling to Lost Vegas to compete to become the new king.
Falcon plays Buddy Holly, a six-string playing, sword swinging samurai armed with witty comebacks and drenched in cool. He saves a particularly annoying little boy who follows him for the rest of the film. They wander across the wasteland, containing fragments of American culture such as the Nuclear family, bowlers, references to the Wizard of Oz, spacemen, and Death himself who plays heavy metal and looks like the guitarist from Guns and Roses.
The movie is quirky, and flutters to stay afloat sometimes, but the ending is stunning and the imagery is beautiful.
Buy this movie.
Cool film ruined by one poor character choice.
Like most people, I heard about this film long before I finally got around to seeing it on TV. Mostly I heard that it was some kind of kung-fu movie that was trying to cash on the whole swing music revival of the mid-90s. I must admit, that this would have been a very interesting movie, if not for one character. The squealing wild boy. At the start of the film, the six string samurai runs afoul of a feral kid who becomes his traveling companion through out the film. Unfortunately, this kid communicates via a high pitched, loud grunting sound. A very annoying high pitched loud grunting sound. This kid is constantly on screen, more than the samurai, grunting ever louder and being annoying. After a while, you realize that this character is not going to shut up, and is going to ruin the entire movie!
This film would have been a thousand times better if they had made that kid a mute. Because this irritant kid's sound is heard at nausea through the run of the film, you will soon begin to hate this kid. You accurately begin to look forward to the scenes were he is silent, and shivers run down your spine when he reappears, with his loud squeal. Go ahead and watch this film, but keep the mute button handy.
