Vegas Needs a New King.
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.

Average viewer score of 6.3/10 from 155 ratings.
This is one of my all-time favorite B-movies, boasting a uniquely substantial atmosphere and absolutely legendary dialogue. A postmodern genre-blender mixing indie fantasy, western, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, spaghetti western, and road trip tropes into a wildly rewatchable cocktail. I've seen it three times and it never gets old.
