Remember this movie? I caught it this morning on one of the movie channels. What a hoot. From 1984, this movie is about Buckaroo Banzai, a real renaissance man. He is a top neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver, rock star and comic book hero. He is also the last hope of the human race when his latest experiments open the door to the 8th dimension and unwittingly start an interplanetary battle for the world.
And talk about an all-star cast. I did not realize how many "names" there were in this movie. Peter Weller of course is Buckaroo Banzai. Add to him Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd...way too many to name them all. Wow! I think they just went through Hollywood and pulled in anyone who needed a job at the time. ;-)
This is a silly movie, but a lot of fun. If you haven't watched it lately, I'd dig it up and give it a look. Pop some real popcorn, not the low-cal microwave stuff we eat now, sit back and relive the 80's, Banzai-style.
