Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife
13 August 2019
Here's a Retro Lowedown of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension" (PG - 1984 - Blu)

Genre: Sci-Fi/Comedy My Score: 7.2

Cast=10 Acting=6 Plot=5 Ending=8 Story=6 F/X=7 Pace=6 Violent=8 Funny=7 Chemistry=9

Adventurer, brain surgeon, rock musician Buckaroo Banzai and his crime-fighting team, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil alien invaders from the eighth dimension who are planning to conquer Earth.

"Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife. Doomed is your soul and damned is your life." I totally forgot about this movie until "Ready Player One" came out. Then I went back and watched it again...it is extremely dated. The movie is full of bad puns and cliché responses...but it is so 80's you'll want to hurl like for sure. The only word I can come up with for it is stupid, but in a good way...like a dog I used to have.
