Short description
In a post-apocalyptic world where the Russians have taken over a nuked USA and Elvis is king of Lost Vegas, Buddy is a '50s rocker and wandering warrior rolled into one, too-cool package. Armed with his six-string in one hand and his sword in the other, Buddy is on his way to Vegas to succeed Elvis as King. Along the way, he saves an orphan who decides to tag along.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in Death Valley using expired and written-off film stock (which was going to be thrown away anyway), donated by Fuji.
- There was a catastrophic lack of funds for the production, so the characters' costumes were scavenged from dumps and flea markets.
- Initially, Lance Mangiachetta intended to make a film titled 'The Razor,' in which the main characters engage in serious dialogue within a single-room setting. However, he then met Jeffrey Falcon, which led to the conception of 'Six-String Samurai' in the form the finished film eventually took.
