The 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 alien war, and before you know it, he's got just a few hours to save the world. Confused? Hang on, we're only 10 minutes into the movie. Buckaroo Banzai hurls you right into the middle of its comic-book universe and keeps going at a breakneck pace. It's chock-full of overlapping jokes (even as we're trying to make sense of Dr. Lizardo's hospital room, a voice calmly announces that "lithium is no longer available on credit" over the PA system), hilarious throwaway dialogue ("You're like Jerry Lewis: you give me hope to carry on."), and weirdness just for the sheer joy of it ("Why is there a watermelon there?" "I'll tell you later."). You'll want to watch it at least twice--there's just no way to catch everything the first time around. Ellen Barkin has a terrific time doing a dead-on film noir moll parody as Penny Priddy, and John Lithgow turns in a brilliant manic performance as Dr. Lizardo/John Whorfin. There is no reason not to own this movie unless you are cold and dead inside. Laugh while you can, Monkey Boys. --Ali Davis

Customer Reviews of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (Special Edition)

For the Fans, Finally. All Thing "Banzai" on this DVD.
Team Banzai was positioned with this adventure "across the 8th dimension" to save the world over and over. Unfortunately, this was the only movie. 20 years ago I paid to see it in the theater. Twice. <
> <
>Peter Weller was perfectly cast as "Buckaroo Banzai," rockstar, neurosurgeon, savior of the world. Together with his team of cowboy scientist warriors, they battle the forces of alien evil and - in the case of Buckaroo - even have time to rediscover love. <
> <
>Some people hate this movie. But "Banzai" fans who meet each other in a crowded room share a knowing look. It's sort of like finding a fellow Freemason in the least likely place. Anyway, even fans have to experience the movie over and over to make sure they've "gotten" all the subtleties. And for those of us who always wondered about the "watermelon," the director commentary provides that little nugget of information. <
> <
>Many of the cast were relatively unknown back in 1984. Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Chris Lloyd, Ellen Barkin, etc. etc. have since gone on to other things, but for those who love the kooky dialogue and interesting mix of dead-pan and over-acting, this is a movie to enjoy for years to come. <
> <
>This DVD benefits from extra footage and features that will entertain repeatedly.


Before You See The Sequel See This - The Greatest Film Of The Eighties
If you watch this film you will <
> <
>Improve your sex life <
>Think and grow rich <
>Increase self-esteem <
>Enhance your creativity <
>Grow your intelligence <

>This film will teach you about <
> <
>The secret of the Universe <
>The nature of God <
>How to make friends and even influence enemies <
> <
>With such matters in the bargain I think I can say with great confidence that "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai" is the greatest film of the 1980's. More intelligent than "The Maltese Falcon", more sweeping than "Gone With The Wind", more sexy than "Casa Blanca" this film will completely restructure the way you see the world and feel in your inmost being. <
>There's a reason why people call it a cult classic. It does things to the people who watch it. Any young whipper-snapper worth his or her salt wants to grow up to be Buckaroo Bonzai or at least grow up to be a member of his Team. Buckaroo is a shining role-model for the youth unlike the whacko politicians and religious leaders who will corrupt our youth into insanity or death. <
>Buckaroo is not a god only because a god would not be fit to kiss his feet or even untie his shoe-laces. Buckaroo is the true successor of Bugs Bunny. He, like the August Rabbit, is too anarchical to be an anarchist. He doesn't have time to rebel he is so busy saving the world and reshaping the structures of all that we humans consider sexy and intelligent. <
>Did I fail to mention that this film is actually humorous? But it is a humor born of a supreme freedom. Nothing is safe in the universe from the soul and wit of Buckaroo Bonzai-ism which wreaks havoc with our sacred necessities. All true lovers of freedom love 1. the music of Beethoven, 2. the antics of Bugs Bunny, 3. the fact that Elvis Presley shot his television, and, of course, 4. "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai". <
>I don't know what fascists and fundamentalists everywhere were doing in the Eighties but I was contemplating Buckaroo Bonzai and plotting the destruction of civilization as we know it. Bonzai had a great influence on the perverse but glorious mutations of my own brain and I owe a debt to him never to be re-paid. <
>I urge all intelligent viewers to see this film. And when you're done pray for the long overdue sequel - <
>All fifty three of them.


A cult movie
Loved this movie when it first came out and even though a little dated, the fashions particuarly (my god I use to wear clothes like this) it still has a great deal to recommended it. It is a pity that they did not make a second episode of Buckaroo and it would have been nice to see him take on the the world crime syndicate. But if you are want to reminence about the eighty's the fashion, the music, and your own memories of that time then watch this. Don't take it seruiously just enjoy it and have fun.
