A special kind of bad.

A group of friends visits a cabin in the woods, where research on The Necronomicon was recently done and has possessed the area.

I hate hate hate horror movies, but this kindof isn’t one. This is absolutely mandatory viewing.

New technology allows a vehicle to pass through solid matter, but something else is brought through.

This is a must-watch movie, not for its story and plot as-such, but for its feel. It has ideas which really stick. I think Buckaroo Banzai might be particularly cool for young boys.

  • Properly titled The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Aliens crash land on earth and vaguely assimilate.

It’s quaint, choke-full of stars and amusing in it’s era. I don’t know that I’d consider it particularly good these days because it leans all the way into an alien culture clash, but it’s nice.

I don’t even know how to describe this movie.

It’s only okay. It’s notable because it’s somehow rated PG but is so utterly completely unsuitable to that rating; legendary.

Two young losers somehow make a hot woman who has magical powers.

One of the fundamental parts of this movie involves some really terrifyingly-old technology. Even back then it was comical. If that can be excused, the rest of this holds up perfectly.

So with that out of the way, I can highly recommend this. I know my nostalgia must cloud my judgement, but I still think it would be a fun movie for a first-timer. It’s bubblegum.

  • I’m not sure how this was rated PG-13, as there is nudity in a couple of places, like in a magazine.
