    Buckaroo

    Unless the search function is broken. There seems to be no banzai thread. I swear there was one.

    When I saw it in the theater as a junior-going-on-senior in high school, I thought that the end credits sequence was one the coolest things I had ever seen in a movie up to that point in my life...

    It is one of my all-time favorite low-budget sci-fi films, in a league with:
    Hell Comes To Frogtown
    Big Trouble In Little China
    They Live
