I think it seems obvious that there's alot of symbolism from The Wizard of Oz used in this one, i.e. Lost Vegas=the Emerald City, the Golden-brick road, Buddy's disappearing... I'm just wondering if there's a citation/source for this so that we could include it into the article. DrWho42 02:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC) reply

There is also the final fight between Buddy and Death which has some elements in homage of a certain fight between Luke and Darth Vader, including subtle lightsabers coliding noised in the background. This again also suffers from being tricky to fight a usable citation. One source does mention Six-String Samurai being littered with elements both movies,

• Van Gelder, Lawrence (1999-01-22). "FILM REVIEW; From a New Director, a Highlights Reel". The New York Times. Retrieved 2006-09-04.

or

• "'Samurai' pokes fun at civilization". The Michigan Daily. 1998-11-13. Retrieved 2006-09-04.

but neighter go into the detail needed to cite specific elements that were barrowed.

Isnt the actor who plays the lead character's first name Jason Falcon?

If I remember correctly the katana was never hidden inside the guitar (one would think that would deteriorate the sound of the guitar anyways), instead I believe the sheath of the katana was duct-taped to the back of the guitar, perhaps giving the appearance that it was hidden. Is it possible that anyone can verify this?

Just an additional edit, if you look at the photo on IMDB at [1] it certainly appears that the sheathe is separate from the actual guitar. Any arguements?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.127.191.82 ( talk) 00:25, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

i just watched the movie, and the sheath is definitely taped to the back of the guitar. Cig7 06:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC) reply

The article suggests that the W-people are presumably from Area 51. I don't see any evidence for that in the movie. Nellis AFB and 51 are easy to associate with a plot that involves a mythical journey through the desert to Vegas. But the Windmill People are dressed in space suits (realistic looking ones at that), whereas Area 51 is mostly associated with the Roswell aliens (who might have worn suits, but not ones with USA flags on the shoulder). The nearest AFB that would have any connection to the Space Program would be Edwards in CA, but that would still be a strange anachronism given the time period that the movie is supposed to occur in.

Image:Sixstringsamurai.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
