It's one of the most truly strange films ever made, and we are going to delve into how it came to be. Throughout the late 70s, an idea was cooking in the minds of writer and musician Earl Mac Rauch and writer/director W.D. Richter. It was for an episodic multi-film adventure franchise about a half American/half Japanese scientist/rockstar/race car driver fighting a legion of evil aliens across multiple dimensions. And, while this idea eventually only resulted in one single film in 1984 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - the story behind its creation as well as the world built by Rauch and Richter is truly something special.
