San Diego Chemistry Dept Lines: 19 I saw Buckaroo Banzai last night and I was disappointed. What little I had heard about it intrigued me but often I felt rather bored. The dialogue at times seemed stiff, partially I think because they were trying to make the movie resemble a comic book but many times it just plain fell flat. The acting was not superlative with the exception of John Lithgow. He made a Dr. Lizardo come alive brilliantly. I loved the scenes of the 8th dimension and wished there were more of them. If these folks make another movie, as advertised at the end of this one, I will certainly give it a try. I think there is alot of entertainment potential and they may get improve with the second film. If you like Sci Fi spoofs be sure to check it out. There are many funny scenes despite my own personal disappointment with it. P.S. I also wish there would have been more shown about Buckaroo's martial arts skill. Denise
