The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

There is a scene in the movie where Reno (Pepe Serna) and New Jersey (Jeff Goldblum) go through a room with a watermelon in a machine really out of place for the scene. Reno says "I'll explain it later". In the Blu-ray audio commentary, filmmakers explain that they had a "confrontational" relationship with one of the producers. When they stopped receiving notes from the production, they decided to put the watermelon in a scene with no mention about it anywhere on the script. When they received no questions about it, they deduced that no one was screening the dailies anymore and they could keep making the film the way they wanted to as long as they remained within the budget.

During the closing credit sequence with Buackaroo Banzai and the gang walking in the aqueduct, Perfect Tommy is first seen wearing a white jacket and black pants. As they take their final turn in front of the "Buckaroo Banzai" graffiti on the wall, Perfect Tommy is wearing a completely different outfit - gray jacket and red pants.

The credits end with the announcement of the upcoming sequel "Buckaroo Banzai Versus The World Crime League". As of 2023, that film has yet to be made, pending approval from the film's current rights holders, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Lion Corp.

UK theatrical version was cut a little bit due to the distributor wanting a PG rating. It has since been released uncensored on video with a 15 rating (later re-rated to 12 in 2003).
