Sunday SciFi: Buckaroo Banzai

Sunday, July 1st, 2012

I’ve been a Buckaroo Banzai fan since I saw it, twice, during the opening week back in 1984.  Saw it at the old Juliet Theater in Poughkeepsie.

Got the paperback and the long sleeved Jet Car t-shirt.

Now there is a Buckaroo Banzai RPG.

This is not Doctor Banzai’s first appearance in an RPG. Team Banzai was an official part of the Battletech universe.

This is the first official RPG focused on the Banzai Institute though.

Bottom line, Buckaroo Banzai was a fun movie, a good read, and it’s a damn shame a sequel was never made.

Check it out.
