The 1984 science fiction cult film classic, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, stars Peter Weller as Buckaroo Banzai and John Lithgow as his nemesis, Dr. Emilio Lizardo. Ellen Barkin plays the spunky heroine/love interest.
Buckaroo Banzai was a bit of commercial flop at the time of its release, but it's combination of science fiction, comedy and 80s style have won it a strong cult following over the years.
Buckaroo Banzai... the Man, the Myth, the Mysteries
the wildest Renaissance Man of the 1980s!
Buckaroo Banzai is the lead character, played by Peter Weller, of the eponymous 1984 cult film, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. A renaissance man, the character is a top neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver, rock star and comic book hero, and in the film, probably the last hope of the human race. In the film, his latest experiments open the door to the 8th dimension and unwittingly start an interplanetary battle for the world.

This was a movie that spoofed a comic book, and always kept the right tone between plausibility and the ridiciulous. The fantastic cast (Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, Clancy Brown) brings a lot to this comedy, playing it all seriously and not campy. Tons of hysterical and quotable dialog too!

Seth Godin loves Buckaroo!
When he founded his marketing company back in the 1980s, Squidoo founder Seth Godin named it Yoyodyne, the name of company in the movie which is infiltrated and run by aliens from the 8th dimension!
