[net.sf-lovers] Buckaroo Banzai references?

[it's not a bug, it's a feature!]

   I saw Buckaroo Banzai about a month ago, and noticed that the name of the
company run by Red Lectroids was Yoyodyne.  Yoyodyne was the name of a  big
corporation in Thomas Pynchon's _The_Crying_of_Lot_49_.

   My question is, what other references have people seen in this film?  I'm
especially asking those who have seen it dozens of times.  The reference to
Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast doesn't count; it's a plot device,
not an off-the-cuff reference.
