Summary: Best Ever
Review: This movie inspired me to be a race car driver, a rockstar, a comicbook super hero,neurosurgen.Peter Weller is brilliant.You can't go wrong with the guy who played robo-cop.King's X RULES!!!!!!! I like the old asian guy and aliens and the car in the begining and the midget, I don't remember if there any, but if there was it was cool if there wasn't who cares.They should make a sequel if they do they must(it is a must not a should but a must) add midgets. Any way King's X ROCKS!!!!!!! I really liked the cool space ship and the special effects and the comedy and the plot and I lked the part when the guy told the other guy, "Laugh all you ca monkey boy" that was funny. I like the part when Buckaroo Bonzai jumps. Some times in stage King's X jumps. Speaking of King's X, boy oh boy they ROCK! Back to Backaroo, I love the part when the little kid had a shotgun, that was cool and funny. Jeff Goldblum was very very very funny because he dress up as a cowboy and his name was New Jersey. Jamie Lee Curtis was in it but only for a moment.I wonder if Jamie Lee Curtis know who King's X is? Christopher Lloyd is very good in it.I consider my self a loyal Blue Blaze Irregular.
Luis Smith as Perfect Tommy was genius.The president played by Ronald Lacey made me pee my pants but the secretary of defense made me crap myself. Best movie ever (Don't forget about King's X).

Summary: Buckaroo Reviewoooo
Review: I can still remember vaguely watching Buckaroo Banzai when I was young. I seem to recall watching one where Buckaroo was in a ship going somewhere, doing something... or was that a sequel? Hope they release that out too.

All in all, its a must have for fans. The other reviews said it all. Though the "younger" generations may not find it that appealing... people take movies too seriously now i guess.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Bizarre, Sui Generis Classic
Review: What can I say about Buckaroo Banzai? It's one of the quirkiest, silliest movies ever made that still has the power to dazzle and mystify. I've been a long-time Doc Savage fan, and this movie is a hilarious send-up of Doc Savage; it's just simply updated. I'd also add Mystery Men to that list as well. Whatever it's about, it's got to be played for fun and Buckaroo Banzai does exactly that. And what _was_ that watermelon for?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest movie ever - now even better.
Review: Serendipity led me to a movie rental store copy of Buckaroo Banzai a long, long time ago, and I've been a huge fan ever since. But I was completely astounded by the incredible work put into this DVD special edition. I couldn't believe the amount of extras that were packed into this disc. I watched the movie and then spent another 2 hours poring over the extras; and then I went back and listened to the writer and director's comments, along with some pop-up video type "fact"oids. I found out so much more about the movie and the fan base that has kept this story alive for so long, I can't thank MGM and Mr. Arick enough for producing this great DVD.

Chances are you are a typical BB fan from way back, and so I don't need to tell you how great this strange, campy movie is. HOWEVER, if you are by some chance here and have not yet seen Buckaroo Banzai, do yourself a favor and get this DVD. The deuce, you say? You won't regret it. Whether to watch a surreal performance by one of the many great actors, or just to revel in supreme camp, or the interesting story behind the story, GET THIS DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just for boys!
Review: Sci-fi with cute boys, romance and lots of action. Definitely fun. Campy without being obvious. Each time I watch it I get another joke. I'm thrilled to see it out on DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally, a good quality edition!
Review: For years, viewer after viewer was turned off from this film because of the terrible quality vhs tape edition, which, frankly, was an abomination.

This is better. MUCH better.

The sound is crystal clear. The image is almost spotless, with just a bit of grain and dust. (The grain is the inevitable by-product of somewhat low-budget special effects.)

There are many extras, documentaries, bonus footage, cut scenes, and some nice commentary. There is also the typical photo archive, which someday someone will figure out is the worst part of any dvd, since the resolution is nowhere near enough to really enjoy the pictures.

As far as the movie itself goes - well, it's really wierd, often funny, sometimes confusing. This is not a movie for people who have to ask lots of questions to whomever they are watching the movie with, in order to clarify what's going on. This is a movie for people who are content to sit, relax, and watch, and trust that things will eventually make sense, or at least that they will be entertained.

Enjoy!

Summary: great movie but doesnt age well
Review: I loved this movie when I first saw it about a decade ago on cable. I still enjoy it, but it doesnt have the same pizazz it had back then. I dont know why, but I find it hard to sit through entirely now.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: perfect for the wacko in your family
Review: This movie is about as wacky as they get, which in my opinion translates to a great movie. If you have no tolerance for silliness, don't watch it; you might just go insane from the stupidity of it all. If you're already three fries short of a Happy Meal, you're gonna love it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I guess I just didn't get it
Review: I really, really, REALLY tried to watch this movie; I gave it many chances, but it was so abysmally bad I have never been able to stomach more than thirty minutes - and I demand those thirty minutes of my life back!
Insipid plot, scattalogical direction, cardboard comic book charactors, this movie "ranks" (pun intended) with "Plan 9 From Outer Space" for the worst of all time.
I really hate not finishing what I start - this movie was an exception.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Sickest Movie Ever
Review: While watching this film I kept asking myself..."is this for real?" ....watching this movie is like taking a bad acid trip...it is one of the campiest,weirdest flicks I have ever seen...everything that happens in the film is unexpected and strange...what were they thinking when they made this flick?....the script is just so bizzare....I highly recommened this film if your into "train wreck films"....you won't be able to look away....a blend of rock music, science fiction and the 8th dimension....I was suprised to see so many famous stars in it...rent it or tape it off t.v....not highly recommeded as a purchase...approach with caution!!
