Der brillante Gehirnchirurg, Rockstar, Comicheld und Samurai Banzai schreibt Wissenschaftsgeschichte: Indem er seinen Oszillations-Overthruster auf Warp-Geschwindigkeit hochfrisiert, gelingt es ihm, als erster Mensch in die 8. Dimension zu reisen und heil zurückzukehren! Doch sein alter Feind, der irre Dr. Lizardo, plant den Overthruster zu stehlen und mit einer Armee schurkischer Aliens die Erde zu zerstören. Klare Sache, dass Banzai dem verrückten Wissenschaftler die Stirn bietet. Gelingt es ihm, die Vernichtung der Erde noch zu verhindern, oder stößt das Genie jetzt an seine Grenzen... ?

I was reminded to rewatch this after the references made in Ready Player One. Sadly, despite the assumption that this is a piece of 80's cool (after seeing Wade's threads in RPO), this really is a bit of a mess. It's not meant to be taken seriously, of course, and it has its moments, but it's still a mess all the same. It has gained a cult following, but it's easy to see why it bombed back in 1984.
>BUCKAROO BANZAI: The rest of this rock is actually only empty space. So, back in 1937, Professor Hikita here and Dr. Emilio Lizardo figured that if solid matter was mostly empty space, then a person should be able to discover a way to travel _inside things_. PROF. HIKITA: We at the Banzai Institute have at last found that way. We have created a device called an "oscillation overthruster" which systematically reorders matter by annihilating electrons, positrons... PENNY PRIDDY: Oh, oh, I get it! What you're saying is that oppositely charged particles collide and blow each other up in a burst of energy. Like a tiny Big Bang, like a... a... a... b-b-Baby Bang!
Such a piece of garbage movie. It has a good cast that in that moment, they were not so recognized in the tv/cinema industry. They will be reminded in the future for their participation in better projects than this shit (Peter Weller - Robocop, Jeff Goldblum - The Fly/Independence Day/Jurassic Park, Christopher Lloyd - Back to the Future, John Lithgow - 3rd Rock from the Sun, Jonathan Banks - Breaking Bad).
Started off fun. Got a bit boring near the end.
I don't know what this was trying to be, but I just hope it didn't succeed... I can't imagine anyone making a mess like this on purpose. If anyone was proud of this, I feel sorry for them. I know it has some kind of cult status, but for the life of me I can't see why. The first twenty minutes or so appeared to be going somewhere interesting. Then it didn't, for the next hour and twenty. Whenever people complain about films like Justice League feeling disjointed, I'm going to direct their attention to this from now on.
