Howard, played by a special effect puppet, lives on a planet where ducks evolved instead of apes, but one day he's sucked into a vortex and deposited on Earth. There he befriends Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson), lead singer for the Cherry Bombs, becomes their manager, and, oh yeah, saves the Earth from the Dark Overlords. Jeffrey Jones is the villain and Tim Robbins (!) is there for comic relief. And who can resist the culmination of synthesizer pop, the Howard the Duck theme song, as realized by the Cherry Bombs? A midnight movie that your kids might watch more than you. --Keith Simanton Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Come On Universal......Release The U.S. DVD Come on Universal Pictures, please release this on DVD in the U.S., it is long over due. You have released far worse movies on DVD, why not this? This movie is a 80's classic. Rating: - One of my favorite movies ever. Can't wait for the DVD! Howard the Duck must be one of the best movies I ever saw while I was growing up. When I found out how horrible the movie did box-office wise, I thought, Okay, what went wrong? The movie takes home 4 razzies including worst picture of 1986 and George Lucas disowns the picture afterwards. Pixar Animation was founded because of this movie. That should account for something (check out IMDB.com for that). As for the DVD, on dvdverdict.com somebody interviewed director Willard Huyck and writer Gloria ...

I gave it to her as a birthday present and she thought it was hilarious that I found a copy. Go figure----you can find anything on Amazon! It was still as cheezy as ever and she loved it. Rating: - AN AWESOME, CLASSIC MARVEL COMIC FLICK!!! This was the first Marvel Comic movie! I love it! As a child, I loved it, and I watched it a few hours ago, and I still love it! It's awesome that a duck from another world named Howard is transferred to Earth and the lead singer from the rock band Cherry Bomb named Beverly is in trouble and Howard helps her. After that, they become good friends. As Howard is stuck on Earth, he tries to get a job and scientists want to study him, so Beverly, Phil, and Dr. Jenning try to help him. Something bad happens ...

You either hate this movie or love it for what it is. If you can suspend disbelief it works, and works very well.
