surprise arch enemy, each with their own motives, but all acting in
concert to bring Banzai to his knees!
All this sandwiched between a couple of
great rock and roll guitar solos, a few surgical procedures, a crazy
gun battle on land and air, Buck’s one chance for the ultimate revenge,
his soul in turmoil, all the chicks digging him, engineering
synchronicity, pretty toilets, a human pickle, and a giant sombrero!
