Attention all Blue Blaze Irregulars: It’s time to ride again with everyone’s favorite scientist-surgeon-entertainer-daredevil as he sets off on a new hair-raising adventure in Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, Et Al: A Compendium of Evils! As told by the Reno Kid to Buckaroo Banzai chronicler and original screenplay writer E.M.
