Full Plot Details

Brain surgeon, rock musician, adventurer Buckaroo Banzai is a modern renaissance man and has made scientific history. He perfected the Oscillation Overthruster, which allows him to travel through solid matter by using the eighth dimension. But when his sworn enemy Dr. Emilio Lizardo devises a plot to steal the device and bring an evil army back to destroy Earth, Buckaroo goes cranium to cranium with the madman in a battle that could spell doom for the universe. Along with his crime-fighting team, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, Buckaroo must stop the evil alien invaders from the eighth dimension who are planning to conquer our dimension. He is helped by Penny Pretty, the long-lost twin sister of his late wife, and some good extra-dimensional beings who look and talk like they are from Jamaica.

Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Peter SobczynskiThe Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai is your typical sci-fi/action/comedy/rock&roll/kung-fu/political satire/neo-western/guys-on-a-mission extravaganza.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Noel MurrayBanzai is an occasionally incomprehensible rush of subplots, sight gags, mythology, and bizarre fashion choices, truer to the spirit of classic adventure stories than to the letter. Which may be why people who love the film feel the way they do. Buckaroo Banzai assumes an attitude of poise and purpose in an otherwise awkward universe.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyAt its best, which it frequently is, it's a lunatic ball, an extremely genial, witty example of what is becoming a movie genre all its own.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenWonderfully fun, albeit markedly chaotic and incoherent.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Bill CosfordThe plot, though, is only the lid of this Pandora's toy chest. Inside, the alert viewer will find humor, imagination and a little Oriental mysticism.
Newsweek - 6/10 by David AnsenThe Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai plays more like an experimental film than a Hollywood production aimed at a mass audience. It violates every rule of storytelling and narrative structure in creating a self-contained world of its own.
User Review - 9/10 by hassenphefferThe perfect example of a cult classic. BB transcends so many genres successfully that it should be taught in film schools. It's sci-fi, comedy, action, adventure and romance all in one. A true gem with wonderfully original characters spewing bizarre dialog effortlessly. It has great visuals and costumes along with a terrific score. There are so many quotable lines and clever quips that they stick with you afterwards. Classic.
User Review - 5/10 by DeanomiteHad to see this after the refernce on Ready Player One (the best way to take it in is the audiobook read bu Wil Wheaton). It was not impressive to me despite the cast. For my money, Robocop is the defininitive 80s Peter Weller movie.
