BUCKAROO BANZAI:
You've got the God-given tools to be a success in any field of
endeavor, Dr. Zwibel. Ever thought about joining me full-time?
JEWISH PHYSICIAN (DR. ZWIBEL)
Are you serious? Have you have an opening?
BUCKAROO BANZAI:
Can you sing?
DR. ZWIBEL
A little. I can dance.
Buckaroo glancing at the clock on the wall...
INT. BLOCKHOUSE - DAY22
PROF. HIKITA
Inertial Control positive. T minus seven zero and resume counting.
MISSION CONTROL:
All systems righteous. Professor Hikita says we have to go.
General Catburd and other VIPS happy to observe on their TV monitors
the sight of a MAN IN BLACK COMMANDO PARACHUTE SUIT, carrying a
BATTERED OLD BRIEFCASE, climbing into the cockpit of...THE JET CAR.
THE DRIVER'S POV, a curious combination of airplane dials and switches
and personal touches like a big four-on-the-floor gear shift and a
snazzy pearlized Brodi knob with snowflakes and a coochi-coochi girl...
24
ANGLE ON the driver as he removes a strange GRYOSCOPIC DEVICE from his
briefcase, plugs it into a cradle near his head...
INT. BLOCKHOUSE - DAY25
Professor Hikita standing at a special monitor as a light pops on,
indicating "Overthruster Armed"....he covers it with a hanky...
...all quiet suddenly, the car poised, waiting...
INT. BLOCKHOUSE - DAY27
General Catburd grabbing some coffee and doughnuts...the Secretary of
Defense peering out through a viewing slot...
GENERAL CATBURD:
I've got a budget meeting on the hill, John. What's this thing
supposed to do anyway?
SENATOR CUNNINGHAM
Three hundred miles an hour, General.
GENERAL CATBURD:
Senator, you are so fulla sh*t.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
May not...
The Jet Car undergoing an amazing transformation: TWO STABILIZER FINS
AND A JET ENGINE suddenly appearing on its rear deck...
CLOSE ON THE DRIVER TO REVEAL BUCKAROO BANZAI, world famous figure in
every field of endeavor as he withdraws a beautiful KAMIKAZE SCARF from
his flight suit...wraps it like a warrior's headband around his
helmet...
30
ANGLE ON Buckaroo's hand as his fingers flip a row of toggle switches,
THE PULSATING POWER OF THE JET ENGINE INCREASING DRAMATICALLY with each
successive switch...the vehicle a caged beast, taunting us, as Buckaroo
flips the last switch...
BUCKAROO BANZAI:
Final contact is made.
No kidding. A TWENTY FOOT SHEET OF FIRE ROCKETING FROM THE BACK OF THE
JET CAR...THEN ANOTHER...THEN ANOTHER...
INT. BLOCKHOUSE - DAY32
The Cavaliers at their monitors, calm...Hikita making minor adjustments
on his instrument bank...the Secretary of Defense and General Catburd
both now at viewing slots in the blockhouse wall...
