Reviews

A state-of-the-art spaceship flying at the speed of light without narrative coordinates, Buckaroo Banzai is the very oddest good movie in many a full moon.

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

Buckaroo Banzai is like decades of escapist pulp filtered through the skeptic's shrug of the mid-'80s.

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

A genuine cult movie: imaginative and endearingly naff.
