Buckaroo Banzai - End Credits (REALLY Long Version) [30 minutes]

30 minute version of the "End Credits (Long Version)" to The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984).
"Because remember, wherever you go..."

[@tomwatson9032]

Somehow this music almost brings me to tears... the good guys winning, coming together to protect us, the tragedy of the sequel that never happened. So much emotion from a tune and footage of some good-looking people walking on concrete.

[@danielhone9910]

A moment in time.

[@bradlafferty6076]

The Sepulveda Dam in Van Nuys California didn’t know what an iconic scene it was filming almost 40 years ago. Every actor in their prime. I love this end credits. Perfect Tommy changes clothes often in this sequence. They were all sweating.

[@Fracpanda7414]

My dad loved this movie. We pretended to be like in “the walk” down the river walk. Miss you dad

[@jaandebruer]

​@@Fracpanda7414 that sounds like the best dad memory ever

[@TOUGHNERDTOYS]

Same here brother... Reminds me of my mom whom I lost last year after taking care of her for over 10 years...She introduced and we watched Buckaroo Banzai on cable tv together when I was a child and both of us loved it.

[@anthonylakich1727]

i started play the end credit ref on a moog at a guitar center and two other hopped on the other parts of the Song! thats how you know tons of people remember and love this movie;)

[@RickCarey]

I met my wife two decades ago. We were dating and I said, there's this movie on dvd that I love: "Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension". She said, "I love that movie, too." It's been a great twenty years; slightly bent, but great, and we still watch Buckaroo when we need a refresh. There are grandkids nearing Buckaroo exposure.

[@lifeofbrian5092]

Rick Carey - hope your marriage is going ok, glad you've got Buckaroo in common, but be sure to ask her about what she's interested in, even if it's Gilmore Girls(or insert any show), just stick it out watching an episode and say , "that was great, wow, really put some things into perspective for me, cool, sweetheart", move in for the hug and kiss, then...well

[@lifeofbrian5092]

Rick Carey - ...p.s. got distracted by other things and forgot about the virtue of BB, hope your grandkids love BB

[@RickCarey]

Yeah, I have trouble with daughters-in-law, but we're working on conditioning the grandkids. Ellen is into Brit mysteries. I hang around just enough (often to the conclusion) to validate her enthusiasm. Love is a continuum.

[@brillopad6901]

Really wished we would've got a sequel to this movie.

[@boba4]

One of my all time favorites. Folks around my area just didn't "get it" but it blew me away. It only stayed in the local theater for a week but I watched it four times. The last day was a midnight showing. Walked in and sat in an empty theater, then another couple came in but left part way through. So my own private screening, and it was just me and some projectionist sitting there until every last bit of the closing credits finished and the screen went dark. Pure joy right there.

[@BrookValentine]

VHS and BluRay. I just had to own it. (and secretly wish every car I owned was HB88!!)

I must confess I went around coercing people into watching it just to see how many minds got blown and as it turned out I didn't care because I was rediscovering it each time anew... Michael Church Blue Blazer Irregular Buckaroo!

It was like a sci-fi film directed by Wes Anderson - before its time;

[@DetroitLove4U]

Classic childhood movie for me!!! I used to dance to notably this beat and the epic theme at the end was just 80's all the way!! The originality of this film and it's scores just personifies the true character of cinema then for kids .... the 80's was where dreams were made in and of cinema. Krull, Flight of the Navigator, Goonies, etc. kids films had the originality and even great music too!!!

[@pilsatortube]

good list of movies ;) loved them all in the cinema back in the day! good times!

[@st3v3nk3]

No matter where you go, there you are!

[@rcnelson]

Watched this movie in a real theater when it came out with my younger brother before marriage, kids, and grown up responsibilities. Maybe that's why this music makes me nostalgic and wishing to go back and savor the moment again.

[@thomassiterlet713]

One of the MOST AWESOME themes EVER!!!!! I SO wish it was my personal soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!

Driving passed the Sepulveda Dam on the 101 in southern California (where the closing credits walk was filmed) I still find myself grinning like an idiot (and whistling the tune) thirty years later...makes traffic just a little more tolerable.

Is the spray paint still there?

[@thomasballard1753]

I drove by this on the 405 side yesterday and wondered the same thing! It's not visible from any of the roads around it (from what I can see). Haven't been able to park and hike to a decent vantage point yet. (Also want to find the spot Arnold and Tom hold Bill Paxton over the edge to scare him in "True Lies"... same location I think.)

One of the cops that investigate the alien ship crash was my neighbor in 1970.(John Ashton)He later went on to play 'Taggert' in Beverly Hills Cop. When I knew him, he had been in 'Room 222' on TV. During the earthquake of 1971, he opened the door of his apartment just as the pool wave crested and emptied itself into his unit ! 😂

AWESOME! one of my all time favorite movies. could never get this tune out of my head. Even learned how to play it on the key board.

[@inkmage4084]

LOL This movie and particularly this music, were definitely part of what inspired a comic I used to draw as a kid, I had called "Sentient Armament" lol. I'm now in the process of redoing it, along with designs for a game to go with it.. The main character was actually an imaginary friend I created as a child. He is part human and part of an artificially created primordial alien race, later called "Zayin".. It is the old Hebrew word for "weapon" and his race was created to be just that, living weapons. I had modeled the character after a younger version of Roy Batty from Blade Runner, along with a young Thouzer from Fist of the North Star (He actually now looks like he is the son of Thouzer, and Cosmos from Final Fantasy Dissidia lol).. Because the character is also a musician, the lead vocalist, and guitarist in a Rekkr Metal band called "Drengr", there are some Billy Idol influences as well. He is sent to Earth as a baby, just to be hidden for a moment while the bounty hunter group Stardust Crusaders, hired to rescue him fight off various criminal organizations, space pirates and a strange cult on the station Zot. The baby Zayin's pod is hit during a meteor shower as it approaches Earth, so the Stardust Crusaders lose contact with it, which makes them panic, because the Zayin baby was born with a rare and very dangerous mutation, that would one day put him into a state of indiscriminate viciousness, strongly desiring endless chaos and destruction, capable of even destroying galaxies. Now the baby is basically lost on Earth, which could mean the end of the planet, if he isn't found in time.
