Off-the-wall and incoherent but colorful and eccentric, this satire, benefiting from a great cast, became a cult item.

A genuine cult movie: imaginative and endearingly naff.

Just how much one will be able to jibe with Buckaroo Banzai will hinge on whether or not you're willing to buy into the movie's unabashed lunacy.

There are fun fripperies to be found on the fringe of "Buckaroo's" free-for-all. But like the bells and whistles of a garish pinball game, they are but momentarily enjoyable distractions on a machine that was destined to tilt from the get-go.

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

Richter's comic genre hybrid comes complete with its own mythology, and team of established superheroes, and is curiously appealing.
June 24, 2010
It's a whole lot of thought put into a movie in which not very much happens.
August 11, 2014
A one-film franchise that never was, too daft and marvelous to expand any further.
June 05, 2007
It violates every rule of storytelling and narrative structure in creating a self-contained world of its own.
August 20, 2008
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.

Buckaroo Banzai may well turn out to be a pilot film for other theatrical features, though this one would be hard to top for pure, nutty fun.
