Line 5:
(Peter Weller, the actor who played the title character, went on to have a career as an A-list actor, spurred on by his two wildly successful characters of Banzai and ''Robocop''; in this reality, the writers/producers retained the tone of the first film in the second and third, as well as keeping the cast as intact as possible and focusing on the plot point of 'Murphy' attempting to come to grips with his 'lost humanity'. ''Robocop 2'', by working this theme in a surprisingly sensitive manner that resonated with critics and moviegoers alike, was lauded as a superior film and was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award, as well.)
The success of ''Buckaroo Banzai'' (or ''Eighth Dimension'', as the fans refer to it) spawned an equally successful 1987 sequel - ''Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League'' - and led to the 1990 third film in the series, ''Buckaroo Banzai and The Reel World Marauders''. The fourth film in the series, released in 1993, was ''Buckaroo Banzai And The Forever Voyage''. Two more ''BB'' films were released; the last scheduled film - ''The Fall of Team Banzai'' was released on Christmas Day, 2007. However, because of the fan outcry and box-office grosses far above expectations, three more Buckaroo Banzai films were announced.; ''The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Team Banzai Reborn!'' - was released on Christmas Day, 2011. ''Buckaroo Banzai and the Soldiers of Infinity'', was released on Christmas Day, 2014. The next film in the series, ''Buckaroo Banzai and the Blue Blaze Insurrection'', is scheduled for a Christmas 2017 release date, and a twelfth film - ''Buckaroo Banzai and the Children of The Light'' - has been announced, with a 2020 release date.
