The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension	comment	The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is a 1984 film written by Earl Mac Rauch and directed by W.D. Richter that is one part B-Movie, one part Action-Adventure, one part comedy, and one part political satire.It boasts some names that were quite famous in the 1980s and remain well known now: Peter Weller as Buckaroo Banzai John Lithgow as Dr. Emilio Lizardo/Lord John Whorfin Ellen Barkin as Penny Priddy Jeff Goldblum as New Jersey Christopher Lloyd as John BigbootÃ© Pepe Serna as Reno Nevada Clancy Brown as Rawhide Carl Lumbly as John Parker Vincent Schiavelli as John O'Connor Dan Hedaya as John Gomez Yakov Smirnoff as the National Security Advisor Billy Vera as Pinky Carruthers Jamie Lee Curtis also appears as Buckaroo's mother in an opening sequence that was cut from the film, but has since been included in the film's more recent home video releases.Despite this rather auspicious listing of A and high B list actors, the movie was not well received in theaters. Once it was released to home video, however, it has since developed a cult following.Brilliant scientist Buckaroo Banzai is a neurosurgeon, physicist, music star, spiritual guru, commando squad leader, globetrotting adventurer, and geopolitical consultant who fights hostile aliens, performs rock and roll (on multiple instruments, yet!), test drives interdimensional experimental vehicles, advises world leaders on how to prevent nuclear war, and studies the unknown. Surrounded by his faithful team of genius rockers, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, he travels the world pleasing the fans with music, and facing off against evil wherever he may find it.In this adventure, one of many Shrouded in Myth, Buckaroo goes from surgery to the test of the dimension-hopping Jet Car, to a performance at New Brunswick, New Jersey night spot Artie's Artery. As Buckaroo turns the mood mellow with a solo piano performance of "Since I Don't Have You", a gunshot fires. Penny Priddy was trying to commit suicide, but because Buckaroo has many enemies, a misunderstanding results in her being arrested for attempting to kill him. Meanwhile, the Black Lectroids have sent an agent to Earth to warn Buckaroo that their historic enemies the Red Lectroids will try to steal his invention the Oscillation Overthruster (which the Jet Car used to enter the 8th Dimension) and use it to release their comrades from interdimensional exile. To stop them from causing trouble back on Planet Ten, the Black Lectroids will then fire a particle beam from U.S. airspace to the USSR, which will start World War III, which will hopefully result in vaporizing the bad guys. This, needless to say, does not bode well for Earth. The U.S. Government also wants the Jet Car for military applications. Buckaroo has a lot on his plate, but will he manage to save the world, get the girl, and keep the Jet Car from being misused?In 2016, Kevin Smith, announced plans to produce a Buckaroo Banzai television series, a lead-in from his stint working with The Flash (2014). He would have rebooted the concept with the plot of the 1984 film functioning as the first season's story arc, leading to a projected second season based on the sequel-that-never-was, Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League. Unfortunately, rights issues got in the way, as Rauch and Richter, the original creators, brought to attention that they may still retain the rights to Buckaroo Banzai, along with the TV rights, which led to lawsuits between MGM and the two creators, and Kevin Smith decided to walk away.A sequel to the novelization based on Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League was released in 2021, gaining mixed reviews from readers and critics, in large part due to its shock-value elements, unstructured and rambling plot, and its "warts and all" approach in its homage to classic pulp science fiction.Not to be confused with the likewise outrageously alliterative rock and roll action comedy: The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

And much of that is just Buckaroo Banzai himself.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: A major plot point in the film involves the revelation that Orson Welles' famous 1938 radio drama adaptation of The War of the Worlds was actually a real news broadcast documenting the Red Lectroids' arrival on Earth. This is based on the longstanding rumor that Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast accidentally fooled the American public into believing that Earth was actually being invaded by aliens—but that's just an urban legend. In reality, the program began with an introduction clearly stating that it was just a radio drama (Welles even read the introduction from the novel), and only the first half was framed as a news broadcast. There's also basically zero chance that Orson Welles would have ever made a news broadcast about anything, as he wasn't a journalist: in 1938, he was the founder and artistic director of the Mercury Theatre, an independent theatre company based in New York (his War of the Worlds broadcast was done for their radio show).

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_61b8f9e2	comment	Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Naturally, much of Banzai's team, due to their oddball variety of backgrounds and diverse roles: New Jersey, as Reno comments in the novelization, is easily confused and often prepares less than appropriately for new occasions (as shown by him wearing a cowboy outfit to his first day on the job and getting the roles and names of the other members of Team Banzai confused). In spite of his Cloud Cuckoo Lander tendencies, he's the first one perceptive enough to connect the Lectroids to the War of the Worlds hoax. He's also a neurosurgeon of a skill level comparable to Buckaroo, who studied alongside him in college. Perfect Tommy dresses like an eccentric dandy whose Vogue model image is out of place in any other professional environment. He's actually one of the most competent fighters and tactical minds the Banzai Institute has. Reno himself, according to the novel, used to have a background as a policy consultant in Washington D.C. While the most serious and down-to-earth member of the team, he could easily be mistaken for a wisecracking lounge lizard. Penny Priddy is.... less than emotionally stable... but still manages to pull off a few moves that save the team, including hiding the overthruster in plain sight and not giving up its location even when literally tortured to death. She gets better.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_6dcbe9aa	type	Deconstructive Parody
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_6dcbe9aa	comment	The film practically defied classification when it was first released in 1984, but in hindsight, it can actually be seen as a Deconstructive Parody of the kinds of superhero franchises that would come to dominate Hollywood in the decades after its release. Part of the movie's gimmick is that it's a standalone film that's deliberately made to look like one installment in an expansive saga, complete with a complex backstory that's never fully explained, references to important characters who never appear, and even a Sequel Hook for a sequel that was never made; many of the jokes are essentially Mythology Gags for a mythology that doesn't exist. The movie was made decades before those very sorts of films—sprawling multi-part epics with a huge cast, constant Mythology Gags, and never-ending Sequel Hooks—actually became commonplace, but it manages to demonstrate how bizarre the average franchise film would look if it didn't have a franchise to go with it. Justified in that Buckaroo Banzai is itself an Affectionate Parody of old superhero and science fiction film serials from the 1930s-1940s that had a similar marketing model to today's blockbuster ensemble franchises.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_6f66bef7	type	But Not Too Foreign
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_6f66bef7	comment	But Not Too Foreign: Buckaroo is half-Japanese, though he's played by a fully white man. His heritage is occasionally referenced through costuming, such as wearing a headband during his test flight and meditating in a samurai outfit. Similarly, Team Banzai is mentioned in the dialogue as being made up largely of "foreigners, some of 'em" who "come from all over." Yet with the exception of Hikita, two members of the Blue Blaze irregulars, and one character loosely coded as Latin American (who never appears in the movie), almost anyone we see in any significant role is white and speaks with a North American English accent.

In spite of his Cloud Cuckoo Lander tendencies, he's the first one perceptive enough to connect the Lectroids to the War of the Worlds hoax. He's also a neurosurgeon of a skill level comparable to Buckaroo, who studied alongside him in college.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_df77bb33	comment	Ambadassador: John Parker, the only surviving representative of the Black Lectroids on Earth, claims to be a diplomat (who failed flight school) and doesn't carry a weapon, but he manages to learn how to fly quickly and snaps a few Red Lectroid necks in battle. Buckaroo Banzai himself is both Lectroid factions' main point of contact with Earth, in lieu of any appointed representative - which is probably a good thing, given that nearly all of the government officials in the film are incompetent buffoons.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_e3c20140	type	As Long as It Sounds Foreign
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_e3c20140	comment	As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Banzai isn't a Japanese surname; it's a part of the famous Japanese "banzai charges" during World War 2, in which Japanese soldiers would shout "Tenno Heika Banzai!" which roughly means "Long live His Majesty, the Emperor!" Amusingly, the film also invokes the trope with Buckaroo's first name, which was chosen by his Japanese father based on his love of the American West (he was evidently unaware that "Buckaroo" wasn't a real American name).note If you're curious: it's a corruption of vaquero, a Spanish word for "cowboy".

Lord Whorfin calls him "Bigbooty" and the U.S. Secretary of Defense calls him "Big Boot".

It can be jarring seeing them go from musician-scientists in a variety of eccentric costumes to commandos in camo, bullet proof vests, and war paint.

Buckaroo tells the Hong Kong Cavaliers to wait outside Yoyodyne for thirty minutes, then to come in after him.

They give a concert at "Artie's Artery". The Ace and Leader Buckaroo rocks it on the electric guitar, Reno is the trumpeter, Perfect Tommy plays the bass, Rawhide is the pianist. There is a couple of extra characters playing the guitar and the trumpet as well, so it's more like a seven-man band concert. Later, when Buckaroo asks Dr. Sidney "New Jersey" Zweibel to join the group, their rise their numbers. The numbers sadly decrease when Rawhide dies.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: The film practically defied classification when it was first released in 1984, but in hindsight, it can actually be seen as a Deconstructive Parody of the kinds of superhero franchises that would come to dominate Hollywood in the decades after its release. Part of the movie's gimmick is that it's a standalone film that's deliberately made to look like one installment in an expansive saga, complete with a complex backstory that's never fully explained, references to important characters who never appear, and even a Sequel Hook for a sequel that was never made; many of the jokes are essentially Mythology Gags for a mythology that doesn't exist. The movie was made decades before those very sorts of films—sprawling multi-part epics with a huge cast, constant Mythology Gags, and never-ending Sequel Hooks—actually became commonplace, but it manages to demonstrate how bizarre the average franchise film would look if it didn't have a franchise to go with it. Justified in that Buckaroo Banzai is itself an Affectionate Parody of old superhero and science fiction film serials from the 1930s-1940s that had a similar marketing model to today's blockbuster ensemble franchises. Even the infamous "watermelon gag" wouldn't be out of place in a modern Cinematic Universe film:
