Further Adventures
The end of the 1984 Buckaroo Banzai movie promised a sequel, Buckaroo Banzai Vs. The World Crime League, but Sherwood Productions' bankruptcy prevented the film from being made—at least for the time being. The original film's ownership changed hands over the years, and the Banzai franchise is currently owned by MGM, so any sequel or remake is at their discretion.
In the meantime, after a hiatus of over twenty years, original writers Earl Mac Rauch and W.D. Richter have begun new adventures for Buckaroo Banzai, in the form of a comic book produced by Moonstone Books. The new story, the three issue mini-series Return of the Screw, which was published on September 15, 2007, picks up where the film left off. It has since been collected in trade-paperback.
In March 2008, a two-issue prequel to Adventures in The 8th Dimension, titled Of Hunan Bondage, was published. Most recently, a one-shot, Big Size, was published.
