In all of eight dimensions you won’t find an odder sci-fi movie - or character. BUCKAROO BANZAI (Peter Weller) is a physicist, philosopher, marshal artist, speed freak, and rock musician. And, with the help his posse, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, he's out ridding the world of aliens from the 8th dimension. Co-starring an Einstein-wigged, scene-chomping John Lithgow as Lord John Whorfin/Dr. Emilio Lizardo, Ellen Barkin as Penny Priddy, and Jeff Goldblum (in a cowboy outfit) as New Jersey, this is one cult film not to be missed – or taken too seriously. My favorite quote:Buckaroo Banzai: "Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean. We don't have to be mean because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are."
