I can't get "New Jersey" Jeff Goldblum out of my mind, from Buckaroo Banzai

New Jersey (Jeff Goldblum): A neurosurgeon and member of the Hong Kong Cavaliers who provides medical expertise and quirky insights.

Here, in his New Jersey, rock musician, neurosurgeon, cowboy garb.

Of course, nothing makes much connection with reality in the movie, but the cast is pretty interesting.

• Peter Weller, Buckaroo Banzai
• John Lithgow, Dr. Emilio Lizardo, who is possessed by an evil alien, Lord John Whorfin
• Ellen Barkin, Penny Priddy
• Christopher Lloyd a.k.a. John Bigboote
