Expect the unexpected... he does.
Neurosurgeon. Physicist. Rock Star. Hero. Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller, RoboCop) is a true 80s renaissance man. With the help of his uniquely qualified team, The Hong Kong Cavaliers, Buckaroo is ready to save the world on a moment's notice. But after his successful test of the Oscillation Overthruster – a device that allows him to travel through solid matter – he unleashes the threat of "evil, pure and simple from the 8th Dimension"... the alien Red Lectroids.
Led by the deranged dictator Lord John Whorfin (John Lithgow), the Lectroids steal the Overthruster with the intent of using it to return to their home of Planet 10 "real soon!" But no matter where you go, there Buckaroo Banzai is... ready to battle an interdimensional menace that could spell doom for the human race.
Featuring Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, and Clancy Brown, The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai is a cleverly crazed cult classic as only the 80s could deliver.

Completely unique movie that’s maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but always a favorite of mine Great AV quality, and a fantastic, lengthy documentary about its creation.

I saw this movie in the theater in 1984, and I remember liking it, but not really getting everything that happens in it. I hadn't really watched it again all the way through for years, but I bought Shout! Factory's blu-ray based on the quality of their other releases of movies I grew up with (Escape From New York, The Thing, The Howling, ect.). On rewatching it for the first time in decades, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think as an adult, I kind of appreciated the strange sense of humor the movie has a little more, and it reminds me that that the 80's were the best decade ever for "genera films".
