A completely insane movie. Disjointed, surreal, over the top, screwball, etc, etc. The plot, such as there is one, is very woolly, and skits about all over the place. We have mad professors, Rastafarian aliens, Back to the Future cars that can drive through mountains, a little romance, space rockets, more aliens in Dr Who quality masks, bubble-wrap spectacles; basically something for every-one. The film is fun to watch but don't expect it to make much sense or to be able to follow the plot. Just grab the popcorn and go with the flow.

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.

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.

Loved this movie for years and now have it on my DVD shelf. I am in no way shape or form going to try and explain the plot, I think people have been trying for almost 30 years. If you get it, you'll love it, if you don't, you'll never understand it. Buy it if you've seen it and loved it, don't bother if you've never heard it.

Those who think this movie is one of the worst ever made are missing the point. Let go of your logic, your good taste, and your common sense, and enter the world of Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller), the brilliant particle physicist/neurosurgeon/rock-star and his band of adventurers, including the New Jersey cowboy (Jeff Goldblum), 80s fashion icon Perfect Tommy, and less-than-fatale femme Ellen Barkin, who has a backstory so preposterous I can't even bring myself to repeat it here. The story is about an alien invasion, led by the inimitable John Lithgow, who creates a performance so out-there it almost certainly led to his role in hit series Third Rock From the Sun. The whole thing is firmly tongue-in-cheek, but remains a rolickingly good ride, right up until the final credits. Sadly, audiences in the 80's didn't get it either, so the film was a box-office flop. But almost thirty years later, the film remains very watchable. So if you like a little daftness in your sci-fi, watch Team Banzai in action!
