Theres been some incredible cinema produced in recent years, the Nolan trilogy and Looper being stand outs for mine but amongst all the greatness there`s been very little fun.
Banzai was one of those rare unpolished diamonds that took from all the elements of sci fi that keep us interested and still managed to keep its tounge firmly in its cheek. It was also way ahead of its time, pardon the pun, Inter-dimensional travel etc seems to be regarded as a standard practise now among sci fi writers and audiences, especially on the small screen.
With the big players all searching for that eighties gold again, it would be foolish to walk past this nugget. Im thinking they would re-tell the original story to introduce the Doc and his crew to the i generation and have Crime League ready as a follow up. A new Banzai would certainly look drool worthy but can contemporary filmaking capture the same fun and spirit of the original? worth the price of a ticket to find out. Thought long and hard about the lead and for mine there is only one choice........ J Depp.
