Begelman eventually made one more major change after seeing that the movie ended with a kiss and demanding something more. By this time the budget was almost completely spent and postproduction nearly complete. Richter decided to have the end credits appear over a new scene that was shot in the style of a music video, hiring a choreographer to arrange the action over new music by Michael Boddicker. The song was not ready in time, so the crew filmed it while playing Billy Joel 's Uptown Girl. Richter described the scene as having "kind of emerged from the end of the postproduction." The scene was shot with the actors walking in the LA River bed in front of the Sepulveda Dam. The scene, called "gleefully bizarre", opens with the only remaining reference to the Hanoi Xan storyline when it mentions a (never produced) sequel called "Buckaroo Banzai against the World Crime League."
