RogerEbert.com -
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai is your typical sci-fi/action/comedy/rock&roll/kung-fu/political satire/neo-western/guys-on-a-mission extravaganza.

The A.V. Club -
Banzai is an occasionally incomprehensible rush of subplots, sight gags, mythology, and bizarre fashion choices, truer to the spirit of classic adventure stories than to the letter. Which may be why people who love the film feel the way they do. Buckaroo Banzai assumes an attitude of poise and purpose in an otherwise awkward universe.

The Dissolve -
Buckaroo Banzai is an easy movie to love, though at times a difficult movie to understand.
|
|
The New York Times -
At its best, which it frequently is, it's a lunatic ball, an extremely genial, witty example of what is becoming a movie genre all its own.

|
Austin Chronicle -
Wonderfully fun, albeit markedly chaotic and incoherent.
