For all of us that have been waiting 35 years for the fight against the World Crime League, that time is now. If anyone has already read it, can you post your opinion, **spoiler free please**. Found this while looking for something else. Looks like it came out in November 2021, although this is the first I heard of it. I got a copy, maybe I’ll move it to the top of my reading list. Thought I’d give a heads up, I know there are a lot of fans of the movie here. I wonder how they could recast a movie now? I can’t see them having a bunch of 70 year old guys running around saving the world. > **[Amazon.com: Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, Et Al: A Compendium...](https://www.amazon.com/Buckaroo-Banzai-Against-World-League-ebook/dp/B08TSVBFS1)** > > Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, Et Al: A Compendium of Evils - Kindle edition by Rauch, E.M..

You’re welcome, I’m hoping it’s worth the read. I see now that the original movie is included on Amazon Prime. I’m thinking I may re-watch that before starting the book. I haven’t seen it since it first came out, maybe catch myself up a bit. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Next, we should get > > Remo Williams: > The Adventure Finally Gets Past ‘Begins’ Just in case you were not aware: the Remo Williams character – and his mentor, Chiun – are from a series of men’s adventure novels called _[The Destroyer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Destroyer_(novel_series))_, which has been published (under several authors over the years) since the early '70s, with over 150 novels so far.
