Amazon.com essential videoThe Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension is one of the most agreeably insane movies ever made. Peter Weller stars as Buckaroo, an acclaimed neurosurgeon, particle physicist, and, of course, rock star. He travels with the Hong Kong Cavaliers, a band of hard-rocking scientists who are also really good dressers. Buckaroo’s interdimensional experiments with his Operation Overthruster throw him (and the Earth) straight into the middle of an alie (more…)

There! Evil PURE and SIMPLE by way of the 8th dimension!
Out of all the films I saw as a kid, Buckaroo Banzai is one of the ones that has this aspect to it. When I first saw it I didn’t love it, probably because of this.

A Solid Gem of a Film
Yes, it’s half a campy film but also half a 1980s classic. The story is certainly far-fetched but Peter Weller, Goldblum and many other blossoming actors turn ‘Buckaroo Banzai’…

True Buckaroo
Buckaroo Banzai: should be more than a cult classic. A very funny film. An incredible cast. An invisible plot. Who knew Orson Welles was right?

Not for everyone but a neat cult film

A cult classic in the truest sense

Once upon a time … there was a neurosurgeon who was also a rock & roller, and his wife died, or did she just leave?

Not so hip after all
Sadly this is a movie that has not stood the test of time. The jokes are dated, the performances are unconvincing, and what one seemed outrageous now seems tame.

Wow
I was bored and thought I’d look for a good movie I haven’t seen. Wow look at all the great reviews I’ll give it a shot. The worse movie I’ve ever seen!

Perfect
The Princess Bride and Young Frankenstein perfect movies — just like this one. If you’ve ever thought of yourself as a different sort of person, if people have thought you were…
