I finally caught this movie on Netflix and my mind is blown. How could I have never seen any of it ever before! Released in 1984, only a couple of months after Ghostbusters, this future cult favorite was a flop. Apparently, the final film was a conglomeration of many false starts. Writer Earl Mac Rauch had begun scripting so many adventures for Buckeroo Banzai, but he never finished any until he merged them into this one. That’s why it feels like such a rich universe. Or should I say, rich dimension…
