This movie was released in 1986. I was very excited about the prospect of the film and seeing one of my favorite characters brought to life. However, the film is a great disappointment due to what I call the "Howard Effect". What this really boils down to is that they cheaped out on the look of Howard and used a little person in a duck suit, and when all is said and done it looks very much like a little person in a duck suit. I think that in itself was the death of the film, since the storyline was pretty dead on as far as character and the other effects were pretty good.
I think any information about the film is completely covered by the Internet Movie Database and these other sites. Here is another movie review from Movie Geek Den of Geek has posted an article about the Howard the Duck movie in which they ask "Is Howard The Duck Really Rubbish"? Badmovies.org has some .wav files from the movie including a sample of the Howard The Duck theme as well as some still pictures and some mpeg video files. |
