This is a cult classic movie, so many well known people in this one. Makes you wonder what they thought about when they read the script hahaha. I meet some of the cast and I always forget to ask about the watermelon hahaha.

Its funny.. when I was a kid this movie was on HBO all the time and every time I started watching it Id always make it about 20 min in and fall asleep.. so this was my first time seeing it all the way thru.. so I'm thankful you watched it on your channel. This is the most 80s movie ever. The wild 80s costumes to the synth music throughout. I do remember that ending where they're all walking to the credits. Very iconic scene in my opinion. And final verdict.. I agree with you Tee.. this movie is a lot of fun. But unfortunately.. we never got the sequel. Oh and they also never told us what was up with that watermelon. Any theories? And remember.. Wherever you go.. there you are.

One of my favorite movies. Many iconic lines and tropes that ended up on other movies.

I’ve always thought this was an oddly relaxing film.

There was a sequel planned (Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League), but unfortunately the movie was a box office bomb and it's production company, Sherrod Studios, went bankrupt. There are also a deleted scene showing Banzai's parents (his mother was played by Jamie Lee Curtis).

The watermelon is in there because there was one studio executive constantly harping on the weirdness of the film. So they put the watermelon in to see if he was still paying attention. When it passed without comment, they knew that executive had given up on them, so they were free to be as wacky as they wanted. In-universe, the Banzai Institute was trying to develop food tough enough to survive being air dropped into famine-ravaged regions.

00:17: Don't worry, we all do, too. 1:42:51: "To be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure what was going on." That's kind of the point. Buckaroo Banzai is a bit of a throwback to old pulp fiction, much like Star Wars was. Long-running serials, and if you pick up any given story, odds are you'll have no idea what's been happening to these characters. It's part of what makes the film work, in a weird way. A lot of the jokes are basically Mythology Gags to a mythology that doesn't exist. Imagine the very first MCU you film you see is "Spider-Man: Homecoming." You have no idea who "Cap" is, what "the Avengers" are, why this kid who dresses in a spider suit is trying so hard to impress that jerk with the robot suit, why the jerk has a robot suit. All the references go over your head, because you haven't watched the rest of the MCU. "Buckaroo Banzai" is what happens when you make "Spider-Man: Homecoming" without the MCU, or even Marvel Comics. Things like the watermelon even read like an Easter Egg thrown in for the fans of the (nonexistent) source material. Like the Infinity Gauntlet showing up in Asgard's vault in "Thor." To the non-comic audience, it's just a shiny piece of set dressing. To the comic fans, it's an exciting bit of "I know what that is!" Looked at that way, it kind of makes the movie better that there's no sequel or franchise to go with it, the joke itself is that this is a franchise film with no franchise. (There is a sequel novel, and some expanded universe material, but not a lot). There's a great Q&A on YouTube, Kevin Smith hosting a screening of the film followed by a talk with Peter Weller and John Lithgow, and one of the fans who steps up to ask a question likens this film to the saying that "only a thousand people ever saw The Velvet Underground play, but every single one of those people started a band." This film has small but dedicated fanbase, and among that fanbase are some strong creative types, including Keven Smith (who actually tried to make a TV series, but some rights issues torpedoed it). Smith himself calls this "a true art film, it doesn't care what you bring to the table, it brings itself to the table and says 'here I am, deal with me.'" Personally, I like describing it as "a completely ridiculous film that takes its ridiculousness completely seriously." It's all very weird and funny, but the characters themselves are handling it with the weight they would if all this insane stuff was actually happening. They treat it as completely normal that Buckaroo can go straight from brain surgery to test driving a rocket car to breaking the dimension barrier, so we believe it. And yes, the cast is amazing, but this is before most of them really blew up. This is one of those films where either the casting director got REALLY lucky or was REALLY good at their job. Peter Weller would do "RoboCop" a few years later and become a household name, Ellen Barkin would do "The Big Easy" and similarly become a new rising star. Just one year later, Christopher Lloyd would play Doc Brown in "Back to the Future," and a year after that, Jeff Goldblum would have his breakout success in "The Fly." Memorable character actors like Clancy Brown, Carl Lumbly, and Dan Hedaya fill out the rest of the roles. I'm reminded of Ridley Scott discussing "Alien," and saying "do your casting right, and half your problems are solved in one day." This movie really bears that out, the right talent to make this ridiculous premise live and breathe.

Thanks for that information haha
