BSP Episode 245: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Wherever you go, there you are!

This is filled with so much awesome, I have to watch it again!

From the opening scene test drive, the characters are there and letting their personalities shine through.

Low budget? Yep.  Cheesy? Sure.  Did it work back then? Oh, yeah.  Today this would be a Nickelodeon movie; exactly the same except with a teenage cast.

This is so ridiculous, it’s hilarious.

A neo-Doc Savage story.

There’s Perfect Tommy, but Buckaroo is BETTER than him.

Where’s Pixie?  We haven’t heard from Pixie yet!

“The people at these conventions we go to really need to brush their teeth better.”

3-2-1 Rule of Con going, people!

SausageFest, SausageFest, SausageFest! (yes, you can still donate!)

Buckaroo Banzai and his friends are kind of a SausageFest.

Ellen Barkin is the cheesecake.

This movie is right up there with Howard the Duck.

It would have worked better without Ellen.

Yakof Smirnoff!

Would the kiddies watch it if it was remade?

Did adults like it when it came out, or just younger people?

A brilliantly creative concept… the aliens are here, they’re just hiding in the 8th dimension.

How did he not know that his wife had a twin sister?

Oh no, the Taking the Hobbits to Isengard YouTube video!

We should all go to the nearest canal and walk in a box.

In every scene I’ll wear a different colored nightie
