Well, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter was a terrible let down, as I explained in a past post.  That movie was just bad.  Recently I watched the Six-String Samurai and I was going to compare it to another post-apocalyptic film, A Boy & His Dog, but apparently I never blogged about that one.

First off, A Boy & His Dog is probably not a fair comparison because it was actually released in the 70′s so, of course it has a head start when it comes to being So Bad, It’s Good.  Don Johnson uses his telepathic dog to find chicks so he can get laid, oh yeah, and food and water, if necessary.  I don’t think I need to explain anymore, do I?  This movie is right up there with Dolemite.   Here’s the trailer:

The 2001 film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter was trying to be campy, and nobody likes a poser.  Furthermore the sound wasn’t even synced, sure some of the small things like mics in the shot and moving walls make us laugh in Dolemite.  However, the characters speech coming in too late for the entire Vampire Hunter film is really distracting.

Six-String Samurai was made in 1998, yet, the film almost feels like it wants us to take it seriously.  Eureka!  This is so bad, it’s good.  This is a film student with a budget, more attention was paid to the music and shot list than the dialogue and story telling.  The film is full of visual gags, most likely thought up while smoking a blunt with a friend while watching Small Wonder.  (May Science help you, if you click that link.)  The plot of the film, and I use the term loosely, In 1957, the Russians dropped the bomb on us and took over what was left.  Survivors flocked to Lo$t Vegas, where Elvis obviously became king (“of music & men”, apparently).  Elvis ruled for 40 years until his death, and now the throne is up for grabs.  Enter Buddy (Holly) who heads to claim the throne, but he is being pursued by Death who, thanks to unoriginal thinking, looks exactly like Slash.   Peep the trailer:

Quite some time ago I saw a film called Dead and Breakfast.  I truly can’t remember if I thought it was bad enough to be good or not.  T-Money, you remember the film?  I’ll have to set him up with a guest blogging account, if he remembers because I can’t watch it again.  Films that are so bad, they’re good, are typically only good the first time through.
