Torry N @Torry22n Jun 12 I hated this mess of a movie the first time I watched it. I warmed up to it the second time. LOVED it the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh... Now I wish I had written it myself. See more Bucky R @Bucky3085 Mar 31 Lithgow's finest role. Love this movie. See more Frans B @FransB Mar 23 Wonderfully weird, sensibly silly and absolutely absurd. Amazing writing, storytelling like you've never experienced and cinematography that rocked the 80's, for sure. Star studded cast and each and everyone of them shines (some literally) in character. If you thought you've seen all ridiculously weird movies that actually makes a little sense, also in a weird way, you have not seen Buckaroo Banzai. This one does not draw or color outside the lines, there are no lines. Cult status confirmed See more Roberto N. @Hover Feb 15 Do you like lunatic fringe comedy movies? Do you like science fiction? Are you ready to suspend any kind of belief in anything, sit back with a gigantic bucket of popcorn and a good Diet Coke, and just be entertained? Well, this movie is probably for you. It’s a real Romm. It’s truly a drive down lunacy Road, but if you like Monty Python or you like Green acres, it comes up with some pretty absurd comedy that some of us, including me find really refreshing and enjoyable. But it could be an acquired taste. See more Nathan Y. @NathanYatesDouglass Feb 5 Objectively terrible and yet enjoyable, nonetheless. See more Alan E @AlanEvil Dec 14 I saw this opening night in a packed theater and was utterly charmed, entertained, and psyched to see the sequel which never happened. I couldn't believe it ended up being kind of a dud as the audience roared at every joke. There's little introduction to any of the characters, they're real life superheroes with comic books about them and you're in their world now. Hollywood could learn from that part (no more origin stories, dammit!). The number of young future superstars is fantastic and John Lithgow is just incredible. The cast is truly stellar. It's incredibly campy and the budget wasn't huge, but that's kind of part of its genius. It's dirty and real, the music club they play is crappy, the organic spaceships were ahead of their time, and the jokes, the one-liners, the unadulterated corniness played as straight as an arrow all combines for a fun ride. If you haven't seen it you should, and if it's been a while, watch it again. See more Read all reviews
