The hands-down greatest SciFi sendup of all time, and a terrific movie on its own merits!!
3 of 3 found this helpful 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.

A little to bright, but otherwise wonderful reproduction.
Quality of the actual reproduction was fine; excellent paper, clear imaging. If the pigments had been a bit subdued, I'd've been even happier. However, given the price and the fact that it arrived right on time, I'm a happy camper.

The hands-down greatest versions of Musketeers ever filmed, and the greatest (and funniest) swashbuckers ever.
This is the Musketeers series to end all Musketeers series. The screenplay by George MacDonald Fraser, a well-respected novelist, is closer in both form and text to the original books by Dumas. Some critics trashed the film because of its humor, but the critics were obviously unaware of the original book, in which Dumas stated in the beginning that d'Artagnan was a French version of Don Quixote, and laid on the laughs page after page. Yet, despite the laughs, there is more swashbuckling in it than you'll get from lesser flicks.
The script, the cast, and Richard Lester's direction were over-the-top brilliant. The stellar cast includes Michael York as d'Artagnan, Oliver Reed as Athos, Frank Finlay as Porthos, Richard Chamberlain as Aramis, Jean-Pierre Cassel as King Louis XIII, Geraldine Chaplin as Anne of Austria, Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu, Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter, Christopher Lee as the Count De Rochefort, Simon Ward as the Duke of Buckingham, Raquel Welch as Constance Bonacieux, and the irripressible Spike Milligan as M. Bonacieux.
This version of the Three and Four Musketeers has the greatest script that Heston and Welch were ever handed, and, from what I've seen of their other work, their performances in the con-joined Musketeers are the finest they've ever given.
If you haven't seen these two flicks, it's time you reached into your pocket and bought them here at eBay. The only downside I can think of is that there are no subtitles: If like me you're a bit hard of hearing, you'll want to attach a headset to your DVD player to hear the dialogue. That's what I did, and I loved every minute of the movies.
