About this product

Product Information

A wild, unpredictable and witty sci-fi comedy in which the survival of the entire human race hinges on the efforts of one man--Buckaroo Banzai. Buckaroo (Peter Weller) possesses an unusual number of professional skills--he's a neurosurgeon, race car driver, rock star, and comic book hero. While testing his jet-propelled Ford Fiesta, he drives through a rock, accidentally unleashing alien criminals from another planet who were imprisoned there. Suddenly, "Earth saver" seems destined to be added to Buckaroo's list of occupations, but not if evil Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow) has his way. Less than successful in its 1984 theatrical run, W.D. Richter's wild, anything-goes sci-fi comic book comedy has developed a rabid cult of admirers in the ensuing years.

The hands-down greatest SciFi sendup of all time, and a terrific movie on its own merits!!
This movie is so brilliant and so funny that you'll have to see it at least twice to get all the gags. It played for over two years at weekend midnight screenings in Boston, and was sold out every show (principally because Harvard students loved it and saw it again and again). One reviewer wrote of it "[Buckaroo Banzai[ is paradoxically decades ahead of its time and yet completely of its time; it's profoundly a movie by, for, and of geeks and nerds at a time before geek/nerd culture was mainstreamed, and a movie whose pre-CG special effects and pre-Computer Age production design were an essential part of its good-natured enthusiasm." Years ago, when it was available on a pay-TV station in Los Angeles, I saw the movie about four or five times. Only recently I purchased it at eBay, and have seen it two or three times since then. My advice ... buy a copy and be prepared to screen it at least two times, to get all the nuances and gags. RHRead full review

Oink, snore!
There are a lot of really great movies that are no being produced on DVD or maybe older ones that never have been put on DVD. This one? It's a horrible movie. Last time I saw it must have been 1990 on a major movie cable network and had totally forgot the entire thing by the time I saw a preview online. Thankfully we can find used DVDs on this system! Sometimes it's the only way to get ahold where a rental would have been a far better idea. The movie was horribly written and made no sense at all... BUT the only really value to the whole project was the familiar faces. A pre-Back to the Future Christopher Llyod is just the start. Many are not very famous at the time. Some are annoying that never go away like Jeff Goldblum. Some are quintessential in cult classics like Highlander (the original) Clancy Brown. The story was rubbish. The only value was seeing many people and many are no longer with us. I could go my entire life without watching this movie again... and the DVD will be regifted to someone who may enjoy the same aspects I listed above. :-)Read full review

Sci Fi Classic still a fun film for Today
I used to watch this film as a young girl with my brother, when it aired on T.V. Buckaroo Bonsai was the James Bond to the pop 80's for young teen boys like my brother. I grew up as a girl admiring Buckaroo Bonsai as the ultimate Renaissance Man. I was wondering if the movie would seem dumb to me now. I picked up a copy and invited some family and friends to watch it (The ones that like Sci-Fi as I do) to sit with me and watch a piece of my childhood fervor; The adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai: Traveling in the 8th Dimension. The cast is wonderful, many well known young actors. I watched the movie and found it to be a very fun film.The conepts were still cool, and the graphic were fun to watch, like old star-trek episodes. The language is also fine for a family to view. Thanks for reading my review. Rosenda, (a.k.a HOT_Latina_Girl at http://social.redlightcenter.com/?trq=12878)Read full review

Get over it, junior Eberts!
Buckaroo Banzai, in it's original VHS format, was already a Cult Classic. That sentiment is only magnified now with it's 2002 release to DVD. Some day, in the not too distant future (probably a decade from now), Team Banzai will be up there among the ranks of A Clockwork Orange and Doctor Strangelove. I've read several comments by people under the age of 30 who trash on this film, call it crap, and characterize us fans as vapid, Thorazine-addled retards. Whatever makes you happy, folks! If trashing on a film that was seminal in the annals of low-budget cinematic resourcefulness makes you feel special then I'm happy for you. There is a reason we love this film. The script is clever, a veritable mosaic of silly twists and throwaway jokes so layered that it takes multiple viewings to keep up with it all (favorite line: "It's not my ******* planet, Monkey Boy!"). And the direction and approach is equally exciting: rather than annoy us with under-financed special effects that pretend to be Lucas Film quality, the director revels in his low budget, using conk shells as models for space ships and populating alien ship interiors with tubes, pipes, rods and duct tape. The aliens come off as resourceful-albeit-goofy pack rats, bumbling about and managing to stay just a few steps ahead of Buckaroo until the very end. For many of us over 30, this film was something special. We caught it at midnight movie houses and relished in the warm presence of a movie made by people who shared our dark, twisted senses of humor. In college, it was a regular rental; we held Banzai parties, dressed as characters, turned it into our private video Rocky Horror. No, it's not Citizen Kane ... but what do you want from a movie called Buckaroo Banzai?Read full review

Cult Classic
I had been wanting to get this again as I had had it on VHS years ago. Some quote from the movie came up and I was telling my wife about it and, to my chagrin, she had never seen it! However, in her defense she was a year old when it came out. The movie is funny, engaging and appropriate for all ages. Maybe not for all tastes but definitely ours. I mean, come on, a hero who's a surgeon, rock star, scientist and adventurer with a rag tag team of specialists? What's not to love. Sadly, after this Peter Weller's career was crushed by Robocop. I reccommend this flick for anyone who loves quirky, off beat comedy action adventures in the line of Big Trouble in Little China to Evil Dead 3 - Army of Darkness. Just remember, "No matter where you go, there you are".

Across The 8th Dimension!!!
This is a Special Edition Region 1 DVD jam-packed with extras for both novice viewer and Blue Blaze Irregular afficianado alike. I liked the disc content, I hated the packaging and label art because it's so altered from the original promotional designs of the theatrical release. The commentary and extras with director W.D. Richter give you a lot of inside scoop, there's a few Easter Eggs too (hope you like watermelon). Overall, this is a crisp-looking, decent audio transfer of this very enjoyable cult film, and the extras are quite a nice grab bag. Team Banzai did another great job!

A Great Movie!
I really enjoy this movie! I guess my slightly off-center sense of humor helps. This movie makes fun of other movie styles without being in your face about like many movies are today (I'm not saying that's bad, this is just a different style). This movie is not roll-on-the-floor funny but to me it still a funny movie. This is definitely a "cult movie"! Peter Weller was an excellent choice for Buckaroo! John Lithgow is excellent as the mad scientist in this movie! I love his performance! Jeff Goldblum is very good in his part. There are some great lines from this movie! The DVD is very good. I enjoyed the extras and the alternate opening that is available on this is really good! I wished they had kept in the original. They do an excellent job of keeping with the whole Banzai Institute thinking throughout the extras.Read full review

boring
I had never seen this movie and bought it because I had heard the famous line, "No matter where you go, there you are." That quote was the only thing entertaining about the movie. No plot, no coherence, no acting, just a lot of scenes thrown together. At the end I was still trying to figure out who had done what to whom. Don't waste your money.

Great watch!
This movie is very bizarre but amazing at the same time. I can't tell if it is a really good bad movie, a parody of bad movies, or just a great movie. Either way, it's wonderful and I highly recommend it.
