No matter where you go, there you are

I first saw The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai back when it first came out in theaters. I enjoyed it very much then.

When I re-watched it again recently, I still enjoyed it. But I was surprised to see its lead actress, Ellen Barkin, in this damsel in distress scene. I don't remember seeing it the first time (although that was a long time ago).

I was also pleasantly surprised to see that she was barefoot as well.

It looks very "busy" what with gadgets and whatnot covering her. She's supposed to have been tortured, although thankfully we don't see this being done to her onscreen.

They set out to eliminate her by sending a weird-looking creature down a ramp that's aimed right at Ellen's face, but she's rescued before anything untoward can happen.

It's an off-beat film that still entertains today, thanks to its '80s setting and a great cast.

In addition to Barkin, it also stars Peter Weller (Robo-Cop), Clancy Brown (Highlander), Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park), Christopher Lloyd (The Addams Family), and it even has a young Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) in a small role. Fun flick; check it out if you can.
