Title: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away: Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd and John Lithgow.
Introduction: I bought this DVD on eBay for an undisclosed amount, but have seen it a few times prior to this.
Location: Where ever you go… there you are.
Plot: It’s the 1980’s and style is CRAZY. These secret government agents also double as a rock and roll band, and whoa, let me tell you… Hey, this special edition DVD I got comes with a trivia track, but it’s not “Pop Up Video” style, but rather just reads as subtitles. The whole thing portrays the movie as being based on actual events, and quite honestly, reading those little tips during the movie helped it to make a lot more sense. It’s out of this world, it’s crazy and some people don’t quite understand it, but the more that I watch this movie the more I love it. Who couldn’t possibly love a movie with a character named Perfect Tommy in it?
Acting: Everyone has their best roles in this movie. Forget Robocop, the only actor that has probably had a better role is Christopher Lloyd (Taxi for television and Back to the Future for film)
Production: It looks like a 1980’s sci-fi/action/comedy movie. Right on.
Sex/Nudity: Nah man, diggit.
Special Effects: They’re ‘80’s-tastic.
Overall Verdict: You’ll either love this movie, hate it or it will leave you wondering what you just watched. In any case, I love this movie and it remains one of my all-time favorites.
