Do you love Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension?

[ichabod]

I was watching an interview with Clancy Brown, the actor who played Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai, and he said something like "people who love this film judge other people by whether or not they love this film." Right then one of the voices in my head (probably belonging to a Blue Blazer Irregular) said, "Sounds good to me," and here we are.

It's a cult classic that spun up a goodly number of careers, if not outright started them.

Wonderful film.

“It’s big-boo-tay!”

It’s stupidly entertaining despite how weird and janky it is.

Love? No. My wife loves it. I merely like it.

When I first saw it in the theater with a good friend and my girlfriend at the time, we all came out of it saying "what the heck did we just watch?" Later that year at college, it was shown by the sci-fi fantasy club on campus. Watching it the second time, I was able to follow the plot. With my confusion dispelled, I was able to appreciate the humor and worldbuilding of the film, and I have loved it ever since. It is definitely not for everyone.

I managed to snag the collector's edition BluRay on Amazon, a few years back.
