I saw this movie when I was like eight or nine and years later I could only remember that it had the coolest ending. When I rented it a few years ago, I asked two friends if they wanted to see it and they both said how they remembered that the credits were so cool. Best ever???
shareYes! So wonderfully 80's!!
shareYes they are. When I get my Blue Beetle costume I'm going to re-create that scene except with DC Comics characters. Coming soon to YouTube....
shareGood idea, the end credits are so cool

That will be epic if you're serious.
"You've shown your quality sir. The very highest."
Dude, I sent you an IM. Please let me know if you are serious about doing this.
If all else fails, blame it on someone else.

I also love the fact that Wes Anderson pretty much recreated this for the end credits of "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", which featured former Team Banzai member Jeff Goldblum. Had to be a reference, right? Or have I just watched "Buckaroo" too many times...

I agree dude. Other-worldly!

I was beginning to think I was the only one. Although I happen to know that it was one of Lou Diamond Phillips' favorite end credits as well.
I can't even put my finger on exactly why. Although the music is perfect. About the only other ending I can think of that resembles it in any way is the end credits of the original OCEAN'S ELEVEN...although oddly enough, the actual mood of the two endings are diametrically opposed.
I think the end credits show that the actors are aware that this film is tongue-in-cheek. That's why you see folks walking backwards or twirling while they walk.
My favorite is when they all walk past the "Buckaroo Banzai" graffiti and Scooter's Dad (Bill Henderson)is bringing up the rear, strutting, with his suit on and has his hat cocked to the side- almost like a drum major.
I think this is one flick you share with the kids when they're old enough.

From first viewing, that 'march theme' just sticks in your head permanently, eh!!
I saw one with Uptown Girl dubbed over it (which is what they used during filming, as the theme wasn't ready at the time) and it's nowhere near as good!

I thought the ending to Life Aquatic was related to Topkapi. Either way, all three movies are good in my book.
shareLol I go to youtube all the time to watch the ending credits. So cool.
