I was reminded to rewatch this after the references made in Ready Player One. Sadly, despite the assumption that this is a piece of 80's cool (after seeing Wade's threads in RPO), this really is a bit of a mess. It's not meant to be taken seriously, of course, and it has its moments, but it's still a mess all the same. It has gained a cult following, but it's easy to see why it bombed back in 1984.

>BUCKAROO BANZAI: The rest of this rock is actually only empty space. So, back in 1937, Professor Hikita here and Dr. Emilio Lizardo figured that if solid matter was mostly empty space, then a person should be able to discover a way to travel _inside things_. PROF. HIKITA: We at the Banzai Institute have at last found that way. We have created a device called an "oscillation overthruster" which systematically reorders matter by annihilating electrons, positrons... PENNY PRIDDY: Oh, oh, I get it! What you're saying is that oppositely charged particles collide and blow each other up in a burst of energy. Like a tiny Big Bang, like a... a... a... b-b-Baby Bang!

Started off fun. Got a bit boring near the end.

Whether you can have fun with “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” certainly depends to a large extent on your tolerance level for nonsense. Admittedly, mine was already exceeded by the opening crawl. Accordingly, I didn't exactly have the best time. The most interesting thing about the movie is the impressive cast, which includes well-known actors such as Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, and John Lithgow. However, each of them is overacting to the max, especially Lithgow. And they can't do anything to change the wacky and unnecessarily complicated plot, either. Ultimately, the movie is extremely tedious, and I therefore can't recommend it.
