DocCathode, that would be Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, veteran of Babylon 5 and Star Trek: TNG.
Don’t forget Sean Patrick Flanery.
Actually, for a documentary, the gross for BB was pretty good…

Of which I am assumng you’re not one as a rabid fan would never have screwed up that quote.
Shortly after FASA’s Battledroids became Battletech way back in the 1980’s (rumours insist that it had to do with a pending lawsuit from George Lucas over [in]appropriate use of the word “droid”), the guys at the Freydonian Aeronautics and Space Administration released several “fluff” supplements that described the social and political climate of the 31st century.
Among these, and damned if I can find my copy, was a small book of regimental camoflage patterns and military unit insignia in use by many of the noble houses of the day and the mercenary units that fought for them.
One such unit was “Team Banzai,” a mercenary outfit lead by “the enigmatic Dr. B. Banzai.” The unit insignia, as if it weren’t going to be obvious, was two stylized 'B’s placed back-to-back.
Bumped.
At recently as five years ago, I guess there was some discussion in Hollywood of making the sequel:
I guess Johnny Depp is too old now? 
I think I saw it on a double bill with Mel Brooks’ “History of the World-Part Two”. Or was that the “Green Lantern/Sinestro” flick?
Among other issues with the man. 
I’m guessing they’re not actually fans of the movie:
Well, they don’t have to replace Jonathan Banks – Lord Whorfin killed him.
There’s video online of an event that Kevin Smith hosted with Peter Weller and John Lithgow; a screening of the movie and then discussion with the two stars. According to Lithgow, it was suggested at some point that he would play Hanoi Xan in the sequel.
Let’s get the gang back together! What care we if the original movie was considered a flop? Think of all those Best Picture nominees, the ones that made mountains of moolah, that few even remember and absolutely no one is clamoring for a sequel. Why haven’t they made The English Patient Gets Better? I’ll tell you why, there’s no clamor! Well I for one do clamor for a Buckaroo Banzai follow up. Only saw it once, when it came out, but I remember that I liked it. I especially liked that the Evil Genius who threatens the world is Italian. Not some mewling Englishman. If you’re English, I hope you are on board with this - I would be! It’s time we English all stood up and said “why?” We don’t deserve this!
Anyway, “banzai” to all the Buckaroo Boosters!
I thought this topic was going to be re-opened by someone who got their copy of
My copy arrives tomorrow!
I didn’t even know about that. Talk about good timing - we may be in for a groundswell here.
(But only if the book is good. Must say, they could have cut the Et Al, and everything after that, out of the title. Sounds too much like somebody’s Master Thesis. And that illustration does not look like fun to me. More like a tired Mad Max with a guitar. Hope this doesn’t set the cause back - if it does, see you when I revive this thread in 2038.)
Probably not a Red Lectroid, but the subject of today’s featured Wiki article: John Littlejohn (preacher) - Wikipedia
Good bump, monkey boy!
There are monkey boys in the complex… and on the Dope!
