A midnight movie sensation of the late 90s, Six-String Samurai is a wild blend of samurai film, spaghetti western, and post-apocalyptic road film, all mixed with a cool 1950's rockabilly vibe.

"The memories of making this film and its staying power, have always kept me in touch with that young, naive side of myself that knew anything is possible, because therein, in the exuberance and uncertainty and possibility, lies what will anchor any dream we may have that is worth making real." - Lance Mungia, director

"In the heady pre-social media days of 1998, this movie came out of the Slamdance festival with a huge buzz, ready to instantly be crowned with the title of cult classic. It did well enough, but the two intended sequels never materialized, nor did the career of its leading man, Jeffrey Falcon, who had appeared in several Hong Kong martial arts films. I have no idea why the buzz faded. This movie is completely bonkers." - Sam Panico, B&S About Movies

"Wildly original and highly entertaining." - Len Klady, Variety

In 1957, after nuclear war with the Russians, America has become a post-apocalyptic wasteland where Rockabilly reigns supreme and Elvis is the true King. 40 years later, the King has fallen and society needs a new leader. Buddy, a katana wielding guitarist, travels to the city of Lost Vegas where he is determined to prove himself as the new King of Rock and Roll. On his journey, Buddy is confronted by a murderous array of musical outlaws including cannibals, Russians, and even Death himself. Buddy must use both his music and martial arts skills in order to defeat his foes, but his biggest challenge comes in the form of a young orphan boy who won't leave his side after being rescued from bandits. Will the boy be Buddy's downfall or his salvation...?

Vegas needs a new king.
