Description
Dan and Conrad retreat back to their comfort zone of 80s cheese, only to be confronted by the relentless exuberant strangeness of W.D. Richter's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984). It has an incredible cast. Peter Weller stars the titular Buckaroo – a daredevil neuroscientist particle physicist new romantic rock star and secret agent – with none other than Jeff Goldblum and Clancy Brown in his A-Team like crew. Ranged against them are John Lithgow as an alien-possessed Italian scientist and Christopher Lloyd as his side-kick John Bigbooty (it's pronounced Bigbooté!). Nothing could prepare them for the dense, unfathomable world building of this anarchic sci-fi romp, but crucially... is it actually any good? Or it is just a relic of the cocaine-fuelled 80s?
