Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 24 I'm glad that the original article was posted, as it pointed out details I'd apparently missed during my first three showings in the theatre. But I don't think the cuts are nearly as noticable as are indicated there. The only thing I noticed were that some of the scenes of Team Banzai entering the YooYooDyne factory seemed shorter. And I think that the "short form" Declaration of War bit was uncut, also. I got the Beta version, and I think that almost all people who enjoyed the movie will not be disappointed by the video (especially if they get it in stereo). I saw the video AFTER reading the article, and still didn't notice any differences (except for the one noted above), and I've probably seen it more times than most non-Banzais (non-Buckaroos? (i.e. Banzais are to BUCKAROO BANZAI as Trekkers are to STAR TREK...)). This is backed up by another netter I've talked to, who also bought the tape in Beta. "History is made at night.
