{{work}}
* [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]]: Everything from cowboy outfits to samurai stuff.
* [[Cult Classic]]
* [[Genius Bonus]]: When he first meets Reno and Perfect Tommy, Jersey mistakes each of them for Pecos. Later comics reveal that {{spoiler|Pecos is a woman}}.
* [[Ham and Cheese]]: I ''dare'' you to claim that everyone in this film isn't having the [[Large Ham|time of their lives]], but '''especially''' John Lithgow. The fact that everyone went so far over the top is probably why it has retained the cult status it has instead of being entirely forgettable.
** In fact, in an attempt to actually produce the announced sequel, ''Buckaroo Banzai vs. the World Crime League''; ''all'' of the former cast were reported as being enthusiastic about returning to their roles. Unfortunately, the film remained stuck in [[Development Hell]].
* [[Large Ham]]: John Lithgow as Lord John Whorfin.
** Everyone qualifies, but compared to Lithgow, they are merely ham sandwiches to his 8,000 lb side of pork.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "No matter where you go, there you are."
** [[Fridge Logic|Makes perfect sense]] since the quote dates back to Confucius, and given Buckaroo Banzai's interest in Eastern cultures and philosophy.
** This quote also made an appearance in [[Mad Max|''Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome'']] the following year.
* [[So Bad It's Good]] 
* [[So Cool Its Awesome]]: For many fans, both at the same time.
