5.0 out of 5 stars can we have the American version please?, 3 Mar 2004
By tim yeoman (Bristol U.K.) - See all my reviews
This film is so under-rated. The U.K. missed this film in a big way, just look at the cast list.Weller,Goldblum and the rest. This film is so much fun, even the end credits have a tune that sticks in your head.
This film is an up-dated version of the classic pulp hero Doc Savage,you would be forgiven for thinking that Ron Ely might turn up playing Buckaroo's dad, which leads me to the reason for the title of this review:
For Region 1 you can get a 2 disc special DVD. Tons of extras including extra scenes re-introduced into the film,including our hero as a boy with his parents.(Jamie Lee Curtis as his mum)
This might not seem like much but as you get to know our hero,you will have some unanswered questions like what makes him tick and what is the deal with his new girlfriend?
Heck. Get this DVD anyway and meet loads of aliens with the first name John, a watermelon and Jeff Goldblum dressed like Tom Mix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enter the strange world of Buckaroo Banzai..., 17 Feb 2004
By Alasdair Swanson "arcoddath" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension [DVD] [1984] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Buckaroo Banzai -- surgeon, scientist, rock star, comic-book hero and interplanetary icon -- is only part of the story. There's a whole world hidden away behind the film, the world of the Banzai Institute and Blue Blaze Irregulars. And, on this R1 Special Edition, you get it all :

- MARVEL at the CD Covers of the Hong Kong Cavaliers!
- ADMIRE the plans of the Jet Car!
- GAWP at the interviews on Banzai Radio!
- BOGGLE at the choice of Theatrical or Special Editions!
- FIND all the Easter Eggs!
- TRY to keep your lunch down when you see Chicken In A Watermelon!

This is *the* most feature-packed DVD I've seen in years, applied to a film that richly deserves it. If you're in on the film, the complete immersion in its universe is intoxicating, otherwise it can wear thin quite fast. I love it, and the print and sound mix are both pristine -- much better than the third-generation copy I'd been watching for the last ten years. The only shortcoming is the lack of an english SDH stream but otherwise, it's gorgeous. Now if only "The Wizard of Speed and Time" was available like this...

Oh, *don't* bother with the R2 version, it's a bland vanilla disc that will disappoint terribly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buckaroo Banzai, 5 Jun 2003
By J. D. Stevenson "elainedave" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Buckaroo Banzai is one of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi movies, in the mold of "Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy". It is a bit spoof, a bit pure Sci-Fi, and a great deal bizarre (but non-frightening). It actually has a plot, attempts by the good earthpeople to foil a dastardly plot by the invading aliens, but, for me at any rate, the tongue-in-cheek banter is first rate. Consider the New York neurosurgeon showing up to go on the mission wearing a complete cowboy outfit including sixguns and chaps. Great fun; well worth adding to your library if you like the genre.
