DAC Episode 292: The Random Canon #21 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1985)
/I don’t know what to say about The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension that the header image can’t already tell you. Okay, let’s try this: genius scientist-rock star-martial arts master-experimental car driver-god among men Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller) breaks into the 8th dimension, setting off a chain of events involving warring alien civilizations. In the meantime, there’s romance, action, an unexplained watermelon, a copious mashup of Orson Welles, Thomas Pynchon and old Doc Savage comics, and a set of kickin’ costumes.
