  1. I can loan you my copy of Dark Star if you don't want to spring for it. I originally saw it on VHS and can't recall the Star Wars like introduction which challenges the audience to identify the character who was played by two different actors, and which scene was filmed with one of the high on LSD.
    I first saw and fell in love with Buckaroo Banzai in the theatre and am somewhat conflicted in whether I approve of the new version with added home movie footage of Buckaroo witnessing the death of his father.

    1. I've seen Dark Star (and even read the novelization) but once was enough. Never saw the enhanced version of BB, which does not sound like much of an improvement, but the sequel would still be welcome though...

    2. Alas, the sequel never came to be. Apparently Jamie Lee Curtis played Buckaroo's mother in the new version. I cant say the addition added anything to the original movie. Though it might have had some bearing if there were to be a sequel, since his parents died as a result of sabotage by The World Crime League.
