...in my opinion, one of the most interesting and underappreciated post-apocalyptic film to come down the cinematic pipeline, is a little sci-fi/action/comedy ditty entitled "Six String Samurai" (1998).
An eclectic film, to say the least, "SSS" depicts a heavily nuked USA, wrought with decrepit Russian rule, and strewn with some of the most bizarre characters set to celluloid.
A lone wandering bespectacled warrior...and a devoted '50's rocker, wanders the contaminated wasteland, armed with a guitar in one hand, and a samurai sword in the other; his goal...to trek across the desert wasteland, in seach of the legendary Lost Vegas, and assume the secession of rule presently held by a post-mortem Elvis imitator. Along the way, the warrior takes in a wayward orphan...but still has to endure a gauntlet of hellish, bloodthirsty scavengers along the way...
To say that this film is unusual, is a definite understatement; it is a most bizarre take on the 'post-apocalyptic world' genere, and most satisfying. It is fresh, and a far cry from the more recognized and run-of-the-mill cinematic takes on this genre; most highly recommended!!!
Originally distributed on VHS, then on DVD by Island Entertainment, the film has recently been picked up for DVD re-release, by Anchor Bay Entertainment.
