A few kids try to keep him from the greedy scientists and help him back to his planet. But then a much less friendly being arrives through the beam...
Howard The Duck (1986) was another in the line of bad Marvel comic books that was badly adapted into a feature film. While it&#39;s not as bad as a stand alone film (a mediocre effort) but if you have some knowledge of the original seventies comic book, you&#39;ll be disappointed big time. How come the writers of this movie didn&#39;t read the comic book a little more carefully? George Lucas&#39; film company needs to bear some responsibility for producing this movie. Dude this is a comic book not some bad science fiction novel. So Lucas and his clones need to take notice. okay? Another Lea Thompson leading role vehicle. Man, somebody was trying to make her into a superstar.<br/><br/>Mediocre movie that&#39;ll disappoint comic book fans.
This is a terrible movie on multiple levels. It&#39;s an awful adaptation of the source material, completely missing the satirical tone that made the comic book so much fun to read. It can&#39;t even settle on it&#39;s own tone. It seemingly wants to replace the adult atmosphere of the source with a kid-friendly tone, but then there&#39;s Lea Thompson in sheer underwear threatening to have sex with a duck. (I&#39;m not complaining about the former, but the latter sure adds a sour taste to the proceedings.) Seemingly completely unaware of what it wants to be, it substitutes terrible overacting and loud effects laden action for entertainment. Absolutely wretched.
There's something kitschy about Howard the Duck that makes it fun to watch. It tried hard and provided you're not a huge stick in the mud, there's something in this movie for everyone.
Two scenes had to be cut to get a PG rating for the theatrical release of the movie (condom in Howard&#39;s wallet / tentacle tongue in the cigarette lighter socket). This version was then released by CIC Video in 1987 on VHS with the same rating. The later PG DVD release by Metrodome was cut more heavily. All scenes with sexual content were removed, among others. But an uncut DVD with a BBFC 12 rating was also released in the UK. a5c7b9f00b
