A bit of trivia for everyone......they DID write a sequel to this! But John Carpenter got his hands on it and changed it up a ton and renamed it........Big Trouble in Little China. Look it up! In fact, in later scripts, Jack Burton is a Blue Blaze Irregular himself!!
@GriffithAMPS Same here! At the end of this movie, they say "Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League"......what happened to THAT script I wonder........But yeah, Carpenter did, in fact, change a BB sequel script to BTILC......I always thought that was neat. And now I know why I love both movies so much..lol
it took me twenty years after seeing this movie for the first time to realize that he's quoting the Beach Boys song lyric from "Sloop John B" in this scene.
One of the most underrated movies of the 80's ever. It had everything that was in the 80's, the clothes, the excess government spending, and of course zany villians and a band that could wail but still tell you the atomic weight of some alien substanse
"Home... Home is where you wear your hat." John Lithgow was one of the reasons I decided to buy Buckaroo Banzai, or that was before I watched the awesome trailer. :)
I love this movie, a movie with Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum and Clancy Brown as the heroes, and with John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd and Vincent Schiavelli as the villains, thats just too brilliant too be good. AND IT JUST IS SO GOOD!
'JEZU CHRISTU, MAKE THE GANGLIA TWITCH!' Ahhhhhhhhhhh 'lithium is no longer available on credit...' &'laugh while you can monkey boy'...excellent...So many clasic lines in this scene alone!!!!!!!!
But doesn't this remind you of CERN? I'm rather looking forward to them lining up the dots and breaking through the solid matter to the eighth dimension.......x 'I feel so break up I wanna go home'.
"Laugh-a-while you can, Monkey Boy!" Thanks for posting this!! One of the best cult films of all time! Way too far ahead of it's time! Lithium is not longer available on credit...( cue Al Gore.. )
