	PROTEST RACIST FOX NETWORK SHOW, : LA IMC
		The FOX television network's decision to broadcast and promote the TV show "Banzai" shows a blatant disregard for the consequences and power of racial media stereotypes.
		WHY: Express your disapproval at the new Fox Television Show, "Banzai."
		If you think protesting a television show is not the thing to be doing while the U.S. is occupying other countries, think again.

	Banzai PopMatters Television Review
		Of course, to use the word "entertaining" to describe something so dim-witted as Banzai is more an indictment of the current state of network television than a praise of this show's dubious merits.
		Banzai repeatedly pops up on screen, set against a garish background, screeching at us to "PLACE BETS NOW!" as CNN-type tickers direct viewers to the show's website or a phone number where bets can be placed.
		But Banzai packs more laughs in a half-hour than most shows deliver in an entire season.

	dirty sanchez, rear end - review at videovista.net
		Stupidity TV has actually been with us for a while now, though the 'genre' was largely confined to millennial productions like wacky gambling show Banzai, the execrable Jackass, and those usually tedious anthology showcases for the general public's very own 'worst home videos'.
		Dirty Sanchez is a perfect example of 'stupidity television'.
		If putting live maggots down your trousers, letting big hairy (venomous?) spiders crawl along your arm, or sitting on burning candles sounds like fun to you, go buy this DVD, or watch the show on Channel Four.

	War Of The Worlds: The Radio Broadcast
		Similarly, the cult movie Buckaroo Banzai posits that the broadcast was cover for a real invasion, a theme also taken up in the War Of The Worlds television series episode "Eye For An Eye", in which a group of old timers from Grover's Mill reminisce about fighting off the vanguard of the Martian invasion.
		With so many channels of up to the minute news available, from cable, radio and the now the Internet, how could anyone make such a mistake, but then many people heard only a few minutes of the War Of The Worlds broadcast, or indeed not at all, and blind panic then took over.
		In 1938, did the American public panic when they tuned into a radio broadcast of The War Of The Worlds, and just how guilty was Orson Welles of staging the play with that very intent in mind?

	Whatever: The Rough Guide to Sci-Fi Movies -- Officially Out!
		The ones I've seen are in bold: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!...
		Note that "most significant" does not mean "best" or "most popular" or even "most influential." Some of the films may be all three of these, but not all of them are -- indeed, some films in The Canon aren't objectively very good, weren't blockbusters and may not have influenced other filmmakers to any significant degree.
		Episode I tried to make The Force genetic based, but for twenty years the films were classified in my mind as Fantasy, and they still are.

		OK, if you’ve never seen THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE EIGHTH DIMENSION then you’ve obviously never watched cable television.
		Richter and “Reno” make like Buckaroo Banzai is a real guy and that this film is just a dramatization of his life and this can be a bit much at times, particularly to the fan who really has an interest in the film’s making.
		BUCKAROO BANZAI had a lot to do with that and I think it’s time to give credit where credit is due.

	California Schemer: What You Need to Know About Pete Wilson
		Wilson never said "Mexicans." But the television commercial Wilson used in New Hampshire, aimed at voters in the state's February 1996 primary, didn't show the hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Canadians who overstay their visas to remain here illegally--it showed a "banzai run" border crossing by Mexican illegals.
		Wilson had lobbied enough votes among his fellow board members to guarantee the session would be essentially a stage show for his courtship of the angry white male as Wilson sought to boost his faltering presidential bid.
		Wilson's decision to bow out of the presidential race early gives him time to regroup for his next battle, whether it be as the '96 Republican vice presidential nominee or as a presidential candidate in 2000.
