Um, guys, Buckaroo Banzai has irony. It's not "so bad it's good." It's a deadpan send-up of serial-style storytelling. To quote Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, but in this case the most concise one):
"The film is a cross between the action/adventure and science-fiction movie genres, and also includes elements of comedy, satire, and romance. It is also made to feel like one in a series of movies, by the use of ongoing allusions to other characters, adventures and events."
OK then, Buckaroo Banzai with a bigger budget.
Anytime "Also" is used twice in the same sentence to describe a film, that's a bad sign.
