Should indicate which series, as the original series was obviously created before Buckaroo Bonzai. Is it TNG or the movies or what that contains countless references? -- 12.226.230.75 18:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
There's a cleanup tag on this page, but no discussion of it here. If the page is clean enough now, I suggest we remove that tag. Oed 01:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
This is still one of my perennial favorites and hope to see more posters contribute to the main page with obscure details and any insight into the latest Alien manifestation taking place in watermelon crops across the world.-- 71.131.191.31 08:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Propose moving World Crime League into main Buckaroo Banzai article. Remember, Wikipedia has a search engine and is searchable with Google. There's no need to provide separate articles for minor characters, etc. -- John Nagle 20:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Please do not merge. There are several entities that use the moniker "World Crime League" , unrelated to the film "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension". -- Helicopter01 01:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Why the urge to merge? Helo01 11:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
When watching the movie, I always heard it as "Blue Blazer Regulars" instead of "Blue Blaze Irregulars" (although the two sound very close). At the bottom of the article in the FASA bullet, it mentions the "Blue Blazers" but in the body it calls them the "Blue Blaze Irregulars." Is there a canonical source on this? 128.195.20.127 23:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Where was/is it mentioned that the Lectoids are reptillian? I was always under the impression that they were insectoid, possibly due to their red and black division quite like red and black ants.-- RedKnight 23:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
One piece of evidence is the name Lizardo, i.e., a lizard. More importantly, the lectroid’s faces and hands look like reptiles, not like insects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stolkin ( talk • contribs) 07:35, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
(I believe the tern is really "Lectroids" as they were 'bio-electric' and there's electrical arcing going on when they get injured) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.121.81.140 ( talk) 20:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Are the factoid subtitles that come on the DVD considered a source for plot information? Because, if so, this article is wrong in that Rawhide isn't dead, the Banzai Institute managed to put him in cryogenic suspended animation before he died and currently has an entire wing dedicated to finding a antidote to the spine's poison. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.51.89.79 ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 24 November 2006.
The article mentions the possibility of the Flux Capacitor design being inspired by the Oscillation Overthruster, which is then discounted because the props look nothing alike. However, one of the controls for the OO is a triangular display with a similar look to the FC - this is probably what was meant.
Also, the OO prop itself appears in an episode of Babylon 5 as a Starfury component. [1]
-- The CyberSlug 04:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Quite a while ago I added some information about the makes of the automobiles featured in the movie. The jetcar in the opening sequence was a Ford truck, and later Banzai mentions that while escaping the mental institution, Warphin had copped a Maserati Bora and trashed it a few blocks away.
I am wondering why these additions would be redacted? I am fairly new to Wiki, so maybe I am missing something.

In the article it states that a novelization was released to coincide with the DVD. Unless I am mistaken, that was actually a re-release of a novel that pre-dated the movie. Wayne Harrison —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.36.132.66 ( talk) 22:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
The article says Rawhide is dead presumably. In the dvd commentary and the facts subtitle track it states that he was put on ice until they could find a cure for the Lectoid dart's poison and would be back 'soon'. Sliferjam 16:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Actually, it is very clearly a watermelon and is confirmed to be a watermelon within the special features of the DVD.-- RedKnight 23:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
B. Banzai was not the name on Helena Wayne's apartment, it was B. Bundzai. I posted a link to the actual panel and it was deleted as being a Spambot entry. But the name was not B. Banzai. It was stated in several article at the time but is not true. It probably was a nod to the movie which had come out at the same time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.12.160.139 ( talk) 03:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:Adv.Of Buckaroo Banzai Game.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

another trivia point to work in somewhere: for a number of years there was a bar in Manhattan named Perfect Tommy's. I remember seeing an ad in the yellow pages.

Is this a fact, or opinion? How could it possibly be measured, and therefore should it be the sort of language for use in an encyclopaedia entry? What sort of criteria make it possible to judge? Would three fans who watch it every day confer that status on it, or two hundred people watching it once a month, or what? It might also want to be said that the “cult” if it exists is probably limited to the U.S., as it doesn’t seem to have any following at all anywhere else in the world.

Seems like a film is a "cult film" if attracts a following of a certain sort, as do films like Eraserhead, Repo Man, and films by Jim Jarmusch. The use of the term in recognized media is confirmation, as supported by footnotes. RMcGuigan ( talk) 17:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
It is generally considered a cult film by a variety of sources. Movie critics refer to it as a cult film when mentioning it. [7], [8]. Allmovie Guide considers it a cult film. [9]. Movie books describe it as a cult film. [10], [11]. -- Whpq ( talk) 17:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Apparently, the people who worked on the film had NO IDEA what it was about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 ( talk) 15:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
There was an arcade game which combined full motion video, most likely from a LaserDisc, with computer graphics. I saw it at the BSU Student Union building before I ever heard of the movie.

While the 2-column set up of the section "Cast" was a good idea, it got broken when i fixed the inconsistency in how it was formatted. It looks better than it did, in spite of that, but i expect that it'll look even better if someone who's more experienced with double columns can fix the two-column feature w/o breaking the logically required formatting i added.

The article is still missing a section on the special effects, particularly for the short sequence that actually takes place in the 8th dimension early in the film. It does actually look a lot like early CGI (probably inserted either by means of back projection or bluescreen) akin to Tron, in contrast to one of the reviews claiming that CGI didn't exist back then. -- 46.93.158.170 ( talk) 04:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
What is the policy regarding inclusion of single-frames from the movie?
There is a scene right at the end of the movie where most of the principal characters are walking toward the camera. This would be an excellent image as it could be used to identify the various characters. Is a low-rez image of this type "cool"?
Maury Markowitz ( talk) 14:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Ok, I have added a separate section on this, including the background of the costume designer, which seems cogent. How does it look now? Maury Markowitz ( talk) 17:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

It does actually look a lot like early CGI (probably inserted either by means of back projection or bluescreen) akin to Tron, in contrast to one of the reviews claiming that CGI didn't exist back then. -- 46.93.158.170 ( talk) 04:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
What is the policy regarding inclusion of single-frames from the movie?
There is a scene right at the end of the movie where most of the principal characters are walking toward the camera. This would be an excellent image as it could be used to identify the various characters. Is a low-rez image of this type "cool"?

Ok, I have added a separate section on this, including the background of the costume designer, which seems cogent. How does it look now? Maury Markowitz ( talk) 17:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
