The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatJanuary 1, 2025My quick rating - 6.5/10. This is just such a classic. Entire documentaries have been made about this flick. Not because it was groundbreaking, but because it truly is one of those cult movies that just has to be seen.
- Richard ThorntonJuly 22, 2025It almost works, but doesn’t. Props for really going for it and just being as super weird as it is. The cast is doing great with a script and lore that doesn’t feel finished to me.
- LimimiApril 15, 2025A movie made by millenials a decade before millenials could even write. It's a goofy, high concept golden age comic in live action, with absolutely no concern whatsoever for your comprehension. Which isn't to say it's incomprehensible, the plot is fairly straightforward, it just doesn't care if you figure it out or not. Peter Weller plays Buckaroo Banzai, a neurosurgeon/rock star who invents interdimensional travel, which immediately puts the planet in peril when the insane Dr Lizardo (John Lithgow) learns of it. With the help of neurosurgeon/cowboy Jeff Goldblum, his band, and the suicidal ditz Ellen Barkin however, he is able to save the day.
- gooserexJanuary 28, 2025Cult classic, just enjoy it for what it is.
