Product Description

Product Description

YOUR ONLY HOPE IS BUCKAROO BANZAI

From the writer of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Big Trouble in Little China comes a pop-sci-fi adventure that defies convention and went on to become one of the cult hits of the 80s.

Peter Weller is Buckaroo Banzai, a physicist-neurosurgeon-martial arts master-secret agent-rock star who has just made history with his invention, the Oscillation Overthruster. The Overthruster allows him to travel to the 8th Dimension, but this feat draws the attention of the Red Lectroids, an alien race (led by Christopher Lloyd) who have teamed up with Banzai s nemesis, the deranged Dr Lizardo (John Lithgow). Lizardo and the Red Lectroids are seeking the Overthruster to take over the world and Banzai, with his team of agents/band musicians, The Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop them before it s too late!

With strong references to sci-fi and pop culture that span Thomas Pynchon and Orson Welles, Buckaroo Banzai is a film made by fans for fans and counts filmmakers including Wes Anderson and Kevin Smith among its admirers.

Format: Blu-ray
I've reviewed the Region 1 DVD of this film before so it should be no surprise that I love this blu-ray, released as part of Arrow Video's increasing series of "Special Editions of films that don't really deserve Special Editions" (of which I have, er, several). It's missing much of the "found document" in-universe extras that made the MGM DVD so much fun but it replaces them with a bunch of new things to enjoy instead (although the commentary from the MGM DVD is here again).

The picture is genuinely glorious and the effects look better than ever -- this is a film to be enjoyed and appreciated. All the cast (Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Clancy Brown, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum and so on) are clearly having a blast with the silly, literate script and the joy is infectious.

Thanks, Arrow...

I'd never seen this film before but always keep an eye on this range of Arrow BluRay releases, as they are always top notch transfers filled with interesting extras,high quality booklets and great packaging. I already have Invasion of the Body Snaychers and Fury, both of which look and sound stunning! This transfer does not disappoint. I'm not going to review the film itself because if you are reading this then you probably know what a cult classic it is and there are far better reviews of the film than I could do. However, if you are a fan of quality cult films that are truly classic and have clearly influenced films in the genre ( though it's hard to pigeon hole this film) then don't hesitate to give it watch. Well worth a purchase and place in your collection. Another great release from Arrow.
