So here's the deal. This cache series is supposed to be devoted to my favorite films, right? Well The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension doesn't exactly make that list. Not even close. In fact, the "movie" has the dubious distinction of being on a very short list I deem unwatchable. What makes it so horrid you ask? A simple google search of "Buckaroo Banzai Plot" provides a succinct answer:
"Buckaroo Banzai is caught with his trusted allies, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, in a battle to the death between evil red aliens and good black aliens from Planet 10. Led by demonic dictator John Whorfin, who has taken over the body of Italian scientist Dr. Emilio Lizardo, the aliens try to get the Overthruster back from Buckaroo Banzai. But the good black aliens are willing to destroy Earth rather than let these renegades return to their planet."
'nough said.
So why devote a cache to this awful movie? Because it IS one of my brother's favorite films of all time. I can't count the number of Saturdays growing up that he clogged our VCR and commandeered our TV to pollute his mind and soul with this guck. The sad part to this story is that because our family computer was housed in the same location, I was unable to escape the inane dialogue, the eye-rolling jokes, the B-movie special effects, and the horrible horrible plot. Under protest, it wormed its way into my head to the extent that decades later I'm able to design a decent puzzle cache around it!
I've hidden the cache safely inside the 8th Dimension. In order to gain access, you'll need to take a look below and determine which of the names are fake and were not, in fact, in the movie. Once you've determined who they are, enter their last names alphabetically separated by hyphens.
For Example...
If you think John Orange, John Banana, and John Apple are the fakes you would enter: Apple-Banana-Orange
