About this movie

Brilliant brain surgeon-rock star-and comic book hero Buckaroo Banzai just made scientific history! Shifting his Oscillation Overthruster into warp speed, he's the first man ever to travel to the Eighth Dimension and come back sane. But when his sworn enemy, the demented Dr. Lizardo, unleashes an evil army of inter-dimensional aliens, Buckaroo goes cranium to cranium with the madman in a battle that could result in the annihilation of the universe!

What is this, you say? Just read the summary. It's great. Perfect, semi silly sci-fi action and adventure with a new-wave twist and great actors playing it completely serious. I always wished that the sequel hinted at would be made. Maybe someday.

Unique but very very bizarre! It's been 31 years since I seen this movie still can't make heads or tails of it!

One of the best kooky cult classic films ever made, full of brilliant actors saying hilarious things. The keystone in any discerning film buff's collection.
