I watched The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension tonight with Jan. I hadn’t seen this film since I was about 10 so when I saw it online I knew I had to download it. I have to admit I was kinda excited because I still have such distinct memories of certain parts of the film and certain creatures that scared me when I was younger. Now, 20 years later, I can safely say that this film is sooooooo bad! It’s horrible. I know it has a cult following and certain parts are very funny, but the whole thing is so random, mumbled, and dense that it becomes almost unwatchable. They had a good idea and it certainly had a lot of potential, but this film officially bites the big one. Another romantic childhood memory crushed.
