Movie: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension

Another rainy nearly-summer Sunday in Portland. Spent most of the morning working on a side project (to be revealed at some other point). By the time evening came around, I figured it would be a good time to revisit this movie.

Yes. Its bad. Really bad. But its that “so bad its good” type of movie.

Its also, amazingly, the source of so many quotes I find still use in semi-regular conversation.

Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy.

No, no, no, don’t tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.

Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Evil pure and simple by way of the Eighth Dimension!

Plus, all the great quotes I forgot…

Lithium is no longer available on credit.

You’re like Jerry Lewis, you give me hope to carry on, then you leave me in the lurch while you strap on your six-guns…

Of course, I’m now inspired to rewatch other great 80s movie quote mines such as Breakfast Club and Valley Girl. And yes, I am aware of the risk to my sanity… Its going to be a long night.

Did Laurie inspire you to watch this? It is her favorite movie and one of mine. Plus we have this DVD with a lot of pretty sweet special features, if you’re interested.

Brian Mars Says:

nope. I had downloaded it a few weeks ago because I forgot some parts of it and wanted to rewatch it.
