The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) Edit

A black lectroid named John Parker from the very same Planet Ten.

A bloodthirsty butcher as evil as your Hitler...

A common, grave danger confronts both our worlds.

A girl named John?

A little. Yeah. I can dance.

A mysterious radioactive cloudlike mass over southern New England.

A person should be able to discover a way to travel inside things.

A vicious psychopath. Just as soon kill you as go fishin'.

Aagh! See, I told you! I told you! Leave it alone!

About space monsters and where's the overthruster. Went straight to the lab.

Activate your probes.

Advise you abort. Over. Repeat: Advise you cancel phase two!

Again, John Gomez!

Ah, let me have the straight one then.

Ah. I'm flattered. We know the same people.

Aha, I see. That's what I was wondering about.

Aliens from the Eighth Dimension. I'm seeing them now.

All I'm saying is, Mr President, let's not panic.

All right, who's the wise guy?

All right.

All systems righteous. Professor Hikita says we have a go.

All the surveillance satellite communication jammed.

All these people applied for social security cards

Almost ready, Dr Lizardo! Almost.

And all the rest have 31. October 31st.

And blow each other up in a burst of energy. Like a tiny big bang, like a... baby bang.

And even though there may be normal variation, if you get right down to it,

And fire a particle beam weapon from your airspace

And free our trapped comrades!

And get their overthruster.

And his hair... his hair is all disappeared.

And his spaceship is, at this moment, anchored above Yoyodyne.

And I...

And I'll give you a brand new crisp $20 bill. Huh?

And it looks like the Earth is caught in a crossfire.

And my National Security Advisor Smirnoff, are visiting me,

And now you, Buckaroo Banzai, have unintentionally helped John Whorfin

And provide me with the crucial missing circuit

And seize power once again!

And she won't enjoy it.

And she's gone and that's about all there is, really, to say about that.

And sift through it like breadcrumbs for the rest of your natural life...

And then we finally get our butts off this rock!

And they wouldn't take my luggage in hock.

And yet this living organism came out of that mountain in Texas with me.

And you tell him that it's John Whorfin calling.

And you would never ever find... this.

Another 10,000 kilowatts again this month.

Another part of you?

Antigravity inertia is normal.

Antigravity inertia reversal crosscheck.

Any falsehood triggers a brutal charge

Any time.

Anybody?

Apache group, that's you, Reno.

Arigato.

Arrivederci, Jersey.

As they really are, as I've been seeing them since yesterday as Lectroids.

At Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems over in Grover's Mill.

Aw.

Axis negative. Pneumatic pressure negative.

Banzai and Hikita have done it. They have opened the window!

Banzai hasn't showed yet, Mr Secretary.

Banzai!

Banzai! Oh, so you wanna play games?

Because you're perfect.

Besides, I don't imagine you came here to listen to me talk.

Bigboot! Bigboot! Hold on a minute, I wanna talk to you.

Bigbooty

Bigbooty, you carry my overthruster.

Bigbooty! Go down to the pit. Kill the girl!

Bigbooty? Of course it's me, you fool! Who do you think?

Bigbooty. John O'Connor, put the slug on the track.

Bigbooty...

Bigbooty...

Billy, tell Sam to prep the jet car for city driving.

Black thermopod emergency beacon!

Blacks... are on this planet!

Blue Blaze irregular Pinky Carruthers.

Bring that thing right through the gate. Straight ahead, straight ahead, come on.

Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers!

Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers!

Buckaroo Banzai. It's the latest issue.

Buckaroo, can you verify operational capability?

Buckaroo, do you read? Commence braking procedure. Over.

Buckaroo, I don't know what to say.

Buckaroo, I've done a spectrographic analysis

Buckaroo, Lectroid Wing Commander.

Buckaroo, look at this.

Buckaroo, President's on line one.

Buckaroo, what's up? Where in Hades are you? I'm gettin' a lot of static.

Buckaroo!

Buckaroo?

Buckaroo.

Buckaroo... in trouble. Will repeat coordinates.

Buckaroo... Secretary of Defense McKinley

But because of this guy's normal variation, I got excited and all the sudden I didn't know

But I have a developing situation here and I must speak frankly.

But I have no secrets from them.

But I have to ask my dad first.

But I'm here to see a bomber and I'm damn sure gonna see it now!

But it's a very bad design.

But it's cool.

But someone shanghaied the professor right from the conference.

But that's over now.

But the solid parts of this rock the neutrons, quarks, protons and electrons

But then he says, no, no, no, it's just a radio show hoax.

But this psycho Whorfin doesn't know that. So that'll be my job.

But to disrupt worldwide electronic communications

But you could take that mountain and pulverise it...

Buzz off.

By annihilating electrons, positrons...

Called an oscillation overthruster,

Calling about is everything OK with the alien space cloud,

Can we have a photographic printout to the bunker?

Careful.

Chaparral group, that's you, Perfect Tommy. Parker'll ride with Chaparral.

Character is what you are in the dark!

Character is what you are in the dark! History is made at night.

Cheer up, Lizardo. It's Friday. I got a care package from your yo yo friends.

Clear the great vehicle. Voltage is rising. Electromagnetic field is rising.

Coded. Calling all Blue Blaze irregulars in the Garden State.

Come alone and bring your overthruster!

Come in.

Come on over here. Bring it this way!

Come on! Come on!

Come on.

Come over here.

Coming to destroy us!

Commence pullback to the launch sequence. Clear the launch.

Comprise only about

Conference room!

Conference room! Let's go!

Control, this is HB 88. Commander's voice check. Over.

Control, this is HB 88. Event timer started. Over.

Cos I'm busy.

Cos it looks like we may need an extra hand sooner than I thought.

Could you elaborate on that device, I believe, dubbed the "oscillator"...

Cowboy! Hold your gun in front of you, man.

Curse you, Banzai! Don't you realise what are you saying?

Cute guys of the Hong Kong Cavaliers, Buckaroo's most trusted inner circle.

Deactivate particle beam.

Destroy yourself, John Gant.

Detonator set.

Devo lavorare con persone idiota!

Diabolical. They got us so confused...

Did you tell Penny that Buckaroo's looking for her?

Discussion? What discussion?

Do not panic.

Do not take to the floor.

Do we have the first slide, please?

Do you have family? Back in Cody, I mean?

Doctor?

Does the President call him a lot?

Doesn't look like anything I've seen before. I mean, I've seen droids...

Don't be mean.

Don't have fond desires...

Don't have hopes and dreams...

Don't touch him!

Don't touch it!

Don't touch it. It might be a bomb.

Doomed is your soul and damned is your life.

Dr Banzai is using the laser to vaporise a pineal tumour

Dr Banzai replied "Vast chasms of hissing swamp, spurts of flame,

Dr Banzai replied "Vast chasms of hissing swamp, spurts of flame, ...asked what he saw, asked where he went,

Dr Banzai?

Dr Buckaroo Banzai, perhaps you can explain yourself.

Dr Emilio Lizardo is a raving lunatic, Perfect Tommy.

Dr Penny Priddy.

Easy, friend. Ha, Buckaroo Banzai!

Ed, go back to the bus and reroute this call to the president's suite at Walter Reed Hospital.

Eject, Buckaroo! Eject!

Electric beam is fine, Lord Whorfin.

Electric brainwashing.

Electromagnetic energy back on route three.

Electromagnetic field...

Electromagnetic pulsar.

Electromagnets, they are charging.

Electronuclear carburation seems fine.

Emilio?

Enter your data on this keypad. And you better be right.

Escape or die!

Even though I was never inside that mountain.

Even worse than that of your friend, Mr Rawhide.

Everybody's safe and sound.

Evil will not prevail. That was...

Evil! Pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension! Grab 'em!

Except that I was born in Cody, but nobody...

Excuse me, is someone out there not having a good time?

Excuse me, Mr President, I have to go talk to the hornet's nest.

Excuse me, Mr President, World Watch One. Direct incoming transmission.

Excuse me.

Facile. Sotto, dottor.

Feet, do your stuff!

Figured that if solid matter were mostly just empty space,

For my overthruster!

For our intelligence warns us that he intends to steal your overthruster.

For your eyes only.

For your great interdimensional breakthrough.

Fuel pressure... 1800 torrs.

Full speed ahead!

G sub E...

Gave their lives for what was then considered to be a very insane notion...

Gents... we're going to Yoyodyne.

Ges Cristo, make the ganglia twitch. We're home free.

Get 'em up.

Get him here! Get him outta there! I wanna see his face!

Get over here.

Gino, run this down to the professor for me.

Give me 30 minutes, then come in and mop up.

Go back to the house and dig up everything you can on an outfit called

Go find something to crack it open.

Go on, take it! I don't need it!

Go, Bigbooty!

Good God.

Good. What is a truck?

Grazie tanto.

Grossly abnormal high altitude electrostatic disturbance

H2 tank pressurisation, OK. We're go for launch.

Halloween.

Hand me that tarp, will ya? Let's cover this guy up.

HB 88, a retrieval vehicle will rendezvous in ten minutes. Over.

HB 88, do you read? Do you read? Over. This is control. Do you read?

HB 88, this is control.

HB 88, this is control. APU start is go.

HB 88, this is control. IMU alignment in progress.

HB 88, this is control. We see you. Welcome home. Over.

He did not go through the wall.

He has broken trajectory...

He hasn't found it. He hasn't found it.

He is off course. This is Chase One. Over.

He is OK.

He'll come. I know his type.

He's dead. Spread out. They can't be very far off.

He's fast. I'll give Banzai that. But one heat seeking missile and he's history.

He's gone through it. He's gone through the mountain.

He's headed for the mountains!

He's probably from Mars. Or Jupiter.

Head of Operations, Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems.

Hell they don't. Met my first wife that way.

Hello, Doc. Who are we today? Albert Einstein?

Hello, Mr President, I know your back is killing you,

Hello, Mr President?

Hello, Mr President?

Hello, Mr Secretary.

Hello! Buckaroo Banzai!?

Here you go, Mr President.

Here, in New Jersey!

Here, put this in your purse.

Here, young lady. The overthruster.

Here? On Earth?

Hey, Banzai.

Hey, buddy. May I help you?

Hey, hey, Rawhide!

Hey, it's Buckaroo.

Hey, man, nice jacket.

Hey, man, they're stealing my helicopter!

Hey, Signore...

Hey, somebody turn off that gosh dang klaxon!

Hey, wait a minute! You can't ride that!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey, leave him alone! Ugh!

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, now.

Hikita san!

History is made at night.

Holy Toledo!

Home... home is where you wear your hat.

How am I supposed to know he's from outer space?

How the hell do I know? Do I look like a nuclear genius?

How's she doing?

Howdy. How you're doing?

However, not on another planet. But here.

However, they didn't come here on a nonstop flight.

However... Miss Priddy claims

Huge thunderclaps and gurgling rock formations."

I am John Emdall from Planet Ten.

I can't tell. It's real fuzzy. I patched him through to a payphone down the hall.

I come for your TV. You've been using too much juice.

I did all I could.

I don't care if you walked through a mountain in Texas.

I don't give a flying handshake what your name is!

I don't have anything...

I don't have happy hours...

I don't have plans and schemes...

I don't know, but Buckaroo Banzai has never been wrong before.

I don't know.

I feel so break up, I want to go home!

I get it. What you're saying is that oppositely charged particles collide,

I got a truck on the way to help mop things up.

I got your message about rendezvousing at this address. Barely had time to pack.

I hit it! It is wounded.

I invaded your privacy. I went through your personal belongings.

I just... I just sponged up a little too much Vat 69, that's all.

I know you. You're Pecos.

I looked in her room. She wasn't there.

I lost my room at the Y this morning.

I married her.

I married her. you had an identical twin sister and...

I may be down but I'm not out.

I mean, I wanted to sacrifice the precentral vein in order to get some exposure.

I mean, if the Banzai Institute doesn't want to sell it to us,

I said back off! Now, dammit, I mean it!

I said, who's the wise guy?

I thought you bought it.

I took a bath!

I want an electromagnetic fuel reading from the launch.

I want my missing circuit, now!

I want you to get out and go to the laboratory, start working on this formula.

I'd like to move this thing along.

I'll get it.

I'll make sure you get an early wake up call.

I'll tell you later.

I'm a big fan of all you guys. I love the comic books and the records.

I'm down to my last nickel in this lousy town,

I'm going crazy. Who's that girl, Buckaroo?

I'm gonna snoop around. Make yourself at home.

I'm here to see a bomber! This sure ain't it.

I'm not worth it, Buckaroo! Forget about me!

I'm probably just stating the very obvious. Shut up, Penny. Shut up.

I'm sure in the miserable annals of the Earth, you will be duly enshrined.

I'm teeing off in an hour and a half. What's this jalopy supposed to do anyway?

I've been ionised, but I'm OK now.

I've got enough decorations to snap a Christmas tree.

I've had enough of you, Penny Priddy!

Identification?

Identify yourself, no?

If he can't connect the dots, they never gonna penetrate.

If he should attempt this, we will have no choice

If it was a snake, it'd have bit me!

If it was obvious, everybody would be doing it every day.

If there's one thing I hate, it's to be mistaken for somebody else.

If we blow this today... there ain't no tomorrow.

If we don't find the overthruster, Whorfin'll have us for supper.

If you are not inside the great vehicle itself, you have missed the boat.

Impossible. No, no, no, no, no, no.

In a laboratory at Princeton.

In a ten minute radius. But no strike teams, Tommy, understand?

In national interest, of course.

In order to prevent John Whorfin's escape,

In our eyes, they're not very pretty.

In the Eighth Dimension, Mr Secretary?

In the same town in New Jersey on exact same date.

Inertial control positive. T minus five four five. Resume counting.

Intelligence confirms that Soviets are having the same problem.

Is he dead?

Is he making fun of me?

Is he still delirious?

Is Hikita san here yet? Where's the overthruster? Where's Penny?

Is OK. No worry. ls an insulating liquid.

Is somebody...

Is that I am scared.

It beats me how an old homicidal loony can use that much power.

It came with the record. It's like a 3 D type thing.

It could be above ground atomic testing in China. Maybe sunspot activity.

It disagrees with all the standard pictures.

It has deployed there.

It looks like a practical joke. Check out these names:

It might be booby trapped.

It seemed like a strange connection even back at the bus.

It was purple. It'll be dark before we even find it.

It was, Buckaroo Banzai said, exactly like Professor Hikita had glimpsed in 1938

It won't work! It won't work!

It's a bivouac, man. They sleep here.

It's a troop ship. Lord Whorfin.

It's Bigbooty.

It's Buckaroo Banzai!

It's Buckaroo Banzai! Get him!

It's certainly food for thought.

It's just making my legs asleep.

It's locked.

It's my guess that no human being has ever been inside the place.

It's my spine.

It's not here, Dr Banzai.

It's not here!

It's not my goddamn planet. Understand, monkey boy?

It's not over yet.

It's Peggy to these eyes. It's the same nose. It's the same hair.

It's producing a magnetic force.

It's Whorfin.

It's... it's not Buckaroo Banzai per se, Mr President. It's his men.

Jammed? By who? Who by?

Jettison!

John Bigbooty, Officer.

John Hancock these, and Hail Mary.

John Isaac, get the boy! Andiamo!

John O'Connor, smash the window.

John O'Connor, there's a crowbar in the truck.

John O'Connor!

John O'Connor! Install my overthruster!

John O'Connor! My overthruster!

John O'Connor...

John Parker, take this wheel.

John Small Berries? It's a joke. Maybe that's what Buckaroo was talking about.

John Valuk is dead. He fell on his head.

John Yaya, huh? And you are?

John Yaya? John Parrot? John Bigbooty?

John, get out in the field. Stick your beak into this one.

Jupiter? I hope he's alone.

Just be cool. She'll hold.

Just hot off the World Watch Wire, Buckaroo. Thought you'd wanna be notified.

Just once.

Ladies and gentlemen, Artie's Artery is proud to present for a single night only,

Last night he kills a guard, breaks out of Trenton Home for the Criminally Insane.

Laugh while you can, monkey boy.

Launch control is having trouble verifying mass acceleration.

Leave her to me. You take care of business.

Lectroids from Planet Ten by way of the Eighth Dimension.

Lectroids from Planet Ten?

Let those gun belts hit the floor! Nobody follows or the Prof is history!

Let's get on back to three great modern country hits in a row.

Let's get somebody over there.

Let's go home.

Let's go.

Let's just go back upstairs to my office.

Let's rock and roll!

Let's wait for the cops, Burt.

Listen, I'm switching on the homing beacon.

Listen, Sidney, I'm glad you could make it.

Lithium is no longer available on credit.

Living on a simultaneous plane of existence with our own.

Look at this place. Don't you have any pride? It looks like a damn pigsty!

Look, we got the overthruster.

Looks like a gun.

Looks like he's got cold feet.

Looks like we've accessed their restricted data file. Could be highly revealing.

Lord Whorfin must live.

Man! Those things pack a mean wallop, huh?

Mark two minute intervals... now.

Mass acceleration is diminishing. Over.

Massacre them without quarter!

May I have the curved Yasargil, please?

May I pass along my congratulations

May I pass along my congratulations

May I remind you to fasten your seat belts

Maybe it scrambled his molecules.

Maybe it's a prankster, some computer whiz kid.

Maybe not. John Nolan? John O'Connor?

Maybe right inside this table...

Maybe you can come in her place, huh?

Maybe you can convince her to try.

Maybe you don't remember me.

Misinterpret as an American first strike.

Missing circuit's in your head, Whorfin.

Molto grazie, Dr Lizardo.

Monkey boys are feeble. Lord Whorfin is supreme!

More power to him.

More, more, more. Lock in, lock in, lock in. Now dive, dive, dive, dive, dive.

Mr Gomez?

Mr President, I am a soldier, and I'm a damn good one.

Mr President?

Mr President? Mr President, hello?

Mrs Johnson, this is Casper and Scooter Lindley.

Mrs Johnson! I can never find anything around here...

My comrades are at this very moment taking up a geostationary position

My most profuse apologies to my homeland and loved ones.

My name is John Parker.

Nah, it's a toy.

New Jersey helped me bring her back.

New Jersey?

Nice morning, huh?

No answer at the Kremlin, sir. Just dead silence.

No sense going off half cocked, Mr President.

No sign of Buckaroo. The professor just rode up saying something

No way, Jose

No, he's not. Ah, Dr Zwibel, Penny Priddy... Mrs Johnson.

No, I'm from Laramie.

No, it's a machine with 30 foot leather wings. I think it's radioactive.

No, no, don't worry about me. I'll get my own ride.

No, no, no, no, it's a formula. It's an antidote of some kind.

No, no, no. Don't tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.

No, no, no. Wait a minute, wait a minute, um...

No, no, wait a minute. I need see Buckaroo Banzai in person.

No, no. I'm wrong!

No, not from the jet car. Check with NORAD Command.

No, not yet! Not yet! I'm not ready!

No, Reno, there are no ages and no places of birth.

No. It's time to go home.

No. Lord John Whorfin.

No. My name's Penny. Penny Priddy.

No. Not yet. No!

No. Of course not. How could she be?

NORAD and the Strategic Space Command. I want some hard data on that cloud.

Not with Elephant Bravo.

November one. October.

Now park it.

Now, all I'm saying is that this jet car belongs in the hands of Defense.

Nuclear extortion?

Number four electric hydraulic pump and press?

Of Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems.

Oh, hell, if you wanna do anything nowadays, you gotta do it yourself.

Oh, my God! Perfect Tommy!

Oh, no. It's not obvious at all.

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's...

Oh, spiders. So I was right, huh?

Oh, tell me I'm dreaming.

Oh, um...

Oh, wow!

Oh, wow!

Oh, wow.

Oh, yeah? Listen to this!

Oh.

Oh. Here.

OK, wise guy!

OK. OK. Start left. Go left. More, more, more, more. Left, left. Left! I said left!

Okay, okay, I'm a girl. I don't deny it. I sneaked into your bedroom.

Okay. Tommy, check the biomedical labs. Reno, take physics. Jersey, go with Reno.

On and checked.

On the specimen you pulled off the jet car drive shaft.

On your windshield, static and fracture. Can you confirm? Over. We are reading an electrical field aberration of 993

One more word out of you, Bigbooty...

One quadrillionth of its total volume.

One quadrillionth of its total volume.

Ooh, damn!

Ooh.

Operator? I wanna make a call to a Mr John Bigbooty

Or else this place'll become a zoo, not to mention a haven for gawkers.

Or should he go ahead and destroy Russia?

Or the Basilar vein of Rosenthal, so one my own me at this point I was ready to say

Orson Welles? What about Yoyodyne? What about Dr Lizardo?

Out there in the darkness?

Over here. I'm sorry.

Over New Jersey. This situation is explosive.

Pace accelerator's shorting out!

Peggy!

Pencil! Pen! Quick! Anything!

Penny.

Penny.

Perhaps John Parker will get through with our message to Buckaroo Banzai.

Perhaps some of you noticed we have a motorcycle convention rolling in here.

Perhaps within a mountain.

Pictures don't lie.

Please clear the launch grid. Please clear the launch grid.

Plus, Buckaroo has to think so too or else he wouldn't be ready

Possible atmospheric conditions, sir.

Prepare for my return.

Professor went down into the purification vent. He's got the overthruster.

Put this on. Here, y'all put these on.

Rawhide, come in. Rawhide.

Rawhide, what do you think?

Rawhide.

Red Lectroid.

Remember that old Italian pal of the professor's?

Repeating: Intrastate outward band five.

Right, just... just hold onto that. It flies like a truck.

Right. I'm working under the assumption that Penny still has the overthruster,

Rocket stabiliser.

Roger, HB 88. Read you. Out.

Roger! I copy.

Run! Run! Run!

Russians just gone to Defense Condition Two, sir.

Scientists at Strategious Space Command have detected

Scooter Lindley, Blue Blaze Irregular.

Scooter! Where are you?

Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife.

Secretary, Senator Cunningham... members of the world press.

See this rock? It's solid matter, right?

See, by all accounts, it appears as though I literally went right through a mountain.

See, I always felt that there was another part of me somewhere.

Shall we play... a Penny for your thoughts?

She gotta be kidding, right? Vaporise the whole damn planet?

She has the overthruster.

She was... queen of the Netherlands.

She'll live... but only for a while.

She's not a scientist.

She's not Peggy, Mrs Johnson. Sois sage, mon amie.

Should we be on Code Red?

Shut up, John Bigbooty, you coward!

Shut up!

Si. Si. So meet me at the factory.

Since I don't have you...

Since I don't have you...

Slow this sucker down. I'll handle these birds.

So sorry, gentlemen, but I must dump the excess baggage.

So that future generations of Americans will...

So was Mr Wizard.

So we can enter the Eighth Dimension

So we can return home

So what? Big deal!

So who knows what we're gonna find there. Top priority is the overthruster.

So, back in 1937, Professor Hikita here and Dr Emilio Lizardo

So, first he says there's an invasion from Mars,

So... maybe it wasn't a hoax. Or, I mean, maybe it isn't a hoax.

Some electrochemical message that allows me to see what they really are.

Some giant explosion. And they hypnotised Orson Welles into covering it up.

Some kind of interference.

Some kind of race war in New Jersey?

Somebody crying?

Somebody's playing games. This is statistically impossible.

Someone broke into the jet car. Things are going haywire over at the lab.

Somewhere, yeah.

Sorry, John, everybody needs see Buckaroo. Later.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Sounds like he's getting a little nervous.

Sources close to the National Security Consortium have refused to comment.

Space monsters, my ass.

Specific density is 2.5. Over.

Speed steady at 317 nautical. 400 and accelerating!

Stand by to incinerate Smolensk.

Standby recirculation has been activated.

Stop acting like a goddamn schoolgirl, General, and pull yourself together.

Strategic Space Command now reports

Subcutaneous microphone gonna allow the patient to transmit

Sure. Alive.

T minus six zero three and holding. Phaser positive. Latch compressor.

Take a look at your girlfriend.

Take her to the pit!

Take him to the shock tower.

Talk about this like two reasonable beings.

Team Banzai rotational supervisor, please confirm.

Tell him yes on one and no on two.

Tell the flight attendants to close the doors and prepare for a crosscheck.

Tells us to see exactly what they want us to see.

Ten minutes later, he cops a Maserati Bora. Totalled it a block away.

Thanks, Doc.

Thanks.

That an action that the Kremlin will most certainly

That big thing over there attacked me.

That doesn't matter. It's not important.

That fella over there one of your birds, too?

That got everybody scared, thinking real, live Martians...

That's a long way from where I come from.

That's more like it.

That's right.

That's terrific, Doc.

That's W H O R F I N. You got that, honey?

That's what it looked like. It was black.

The crate they shoved in that van.

The droid, you mean?

The equations. Solve them.

The great vehicle itself is now in final boarding state.

The greatest joy is the joy of duty.

The man's been through solid matter, for crying out loud.

The possibility of contacting alien life.

The president's calling.

The Presidential Emergency Action Document.

The shock tower is a lie detector.

The sound barrier crumbles, and then the dimension barrier.

The time has come, Bigbooty.

The vehicle is hot, but we are showing no radioactivity. Over.

The wall is softening.

Their true backgrounds are shrouded in secrecy!

Then I guess the moment is upon us.

Then sound the call to board the ship.

Then we're gonna have to take it from them!

There are monkey boys in the facility.

There is a minimal disturbance in the electromagnetic field.

There is little time!

There...

There's a Harley in those bushes.

There's more in the box and there's one over there.

There's no overthruster!

There's one of our birds.

There's one of our birds. Head of Operations, Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems.

There's something. There's something coming out!

Thermopod on our tail. Over.

These breathing devices Hikita san has cooked up will enable you to see them

These red creatures, they must somehow give off the bacteria.

They all have the same first name. John,John,John,John,John.

They are reading you on the localiser downrange. Looks good. Over.

They blasted through the Eighth Dimension in 1938 over in Grover's Mill.

They're armed for bear, Buckaroo.

They're only monkey boys! We can still crush them here on Earth, Lord Whorfin!

They've got Penny!

Third cell to the left. Pink dress.

This far inside the head, it all looks the same.

This I know. This I know. And I love Whorfin too.

This is Chase One. We got his tracks. They go right up to a wall of rock.

This is Chase Two. Chase Two. We see him. We see him.

This is control. APU start is go.

This is my colleague Dr Sidney Zwibel, old medical friend from Columbia P and S.

This is New Jersey, and when you play my joint, you're just another act.

This is New Jersey, and when you play my joint, you're just another act. I don't care if you walked through a mountain in Texas.

This is Scooter Lindley, Junior Blue Blaze irregular 41 and a half. Hang on.

This man as you call him is not a human being at all, but is, in fact,

This way!

This way.

This what you're looking for, Buckaroo?

Three minutes since he last moved. This is a fix. Something is happening.

Through the overthruster he and Dr Emilio Lizardo put together from spare parts

Throw me my gun, Bubba. Throw it.

Time? I got nothing but time.

To finish the great vehicle itself,

To Smolensk in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

To spend eternity in the formless void of the Eighth Dimension.

To your auditory meatus.

Tommy, could we run her a mike?

Tommy, hop on the Marconi and see if we got Blue Blazes

Tomorrow I'm goin' home with my overthruster.

Tracking 0 0 0.

Tranquillisers are being dispensed to all patients between 10 and 11 am,

Tried and condemned, along with several hundred of his followers,

Tuesday, Friday and Wednesday.

Uh huh. Can you sing?

Uh, Grover's Mill. Grover's Mill, 1938. Why's that so familiar?

Um, could we get... could we get her a mike and a spotlight?

Unsafe levels of...

Use more honey! Find out what she knows.

Verbal instructions to his own brain.

Wait! Don't leave! Don't leave!

Walking freely among us, posing as the owners and operators

We are cooking. Over.

We are getting a localised vibration of the drive train and a minor oil leak.

We are getting localised vibration on your drive shaft. Can you verify? Over.

We are in pursuit. He is gaining. Over.

We are looking at 500 degrees...

We are reading an electrical field aberration of 993

We are T minus seven zero and holding.

We at the Banzai Institute have at last found that way.

We breathe it. It swims up our nose into our cerebral cortex

We don't know what to expect here.

We get Professor Hikita to cough up the crucial missing circuit

We go to Code Red, the Russians go to Code Red.

We got the guy, Rawhide. Sucker only tried...

We gotta have something for him. Try a new cipher.

We have Buckaroo descending. We have him on the launch parameter.

We have created a device

We have him. Chase Two reports a visual 100 miles off course.

We have only 240 minutes remaining.

We have reason to believe that there are vicious red aliens

We haven't a chance! Your overthruster's for shit!

We keep it intimate. Call the Kolodny Brothers. Call the Rug Suckers.

We must act!

We must work faster

We must work while the clock, she's ticking.

We must work while the clock, she's ticking. Character is what you are in the dark!

We show 28 degrees, 36 minutes.

We show electrical field aberrations on the windshield.

We'll get it back. We'll get it back.

We'll go ahead and start breaking it down.

We're a little short of time.

We're not in the Eighth Dimension. We are over New Jersey.

We've got him!

We've no choice, then.

Welcome aboard, Banzai. You're next.

Well, better go see what's keeping the boss, Reno.

Well, haven't you heard? Don't you watch TV?

Well, I care. What's your name?

Well, if it wasn't Buckaroo Banzai, I'd say commit the man.

Well, something has reared its ugly head in outer space, Mr President,

Well, there it is, tyre tracks right up to a wall of rock.

Well, what is it? What is it?

Well... Mrs Johnson, thank you.

What about a Blue Blaze strike team?

What about the Pentagon? The possibility of war

What are they?

What are y'all looking at?

What are you doing here?

What are you gonna use?

What do we do, jump start it?
