Six-String Samurai

In this fantastic indie from 1998, the Russians have nuked the US way back in 1957.  Lost Vegas, and the surrounding area, have been ruled by Elvis - but now "The King is Dead" and the call has gone out for his replacement to all rock-n-rollers.  Responding, Buddy (martial artist Jeffrey Falcon, known for numerous Hong Kong action films) sets out armed with his guitar and samurai sword on a Wizard of Oz-like trek.  Along the way, he gets saddled with "The Kid" and the duo meet up with various unsavories, including a cannibal suburban family, "the windmill people" (remnants of the Area 51 staff?), a bounty hunter bowling team, the Russian army and a rival for King: Death.  Packed with great humor, music from The Red Elvises, and fantastic action sequences.

That's Friday February 2 at 7 PM - $5 gets ya in. Presented by Shiny Object and Fools Foundation. Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St, Sacto. 19th & K - off of K St between 19th and 20th next to the back end of Old Spaghetti Factory. Digital projection on to a big screen.
