Howard The Duck

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody have a " sneaking fondness " for the " infamous flop " movie HOWARD THE DUCK ? There's going to be screening of a FILM PRINT!! !! ! of it here , this weekend next ( the 25th?? ) and , if I can manage the money , I am so going...
Did anybody like the comic that it was based on ? Published by Marvel - The 70s years are considered the classic . There's an inexpensive B&W volume reprinting basically all of that period .

Saw the movie. It was good for the first half, but the somewhat cheesy special effects completely ruined it in the second.

If you want to see a really bad talking duck movie, go rent Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure. 'Nuff said.

I foolishly one night while drunk on cheap beer, saw Baby Huey's Easter Adventure, it was STUPID.

Now, Howard The Duck, that's one of my all time favorite movies, cause it took place in a place called Cleveland that I know very well.

I never read the comic, but I LIKED Howard the Duck, and it hurt me to hear people rip on it. It was a fun movie--at least I thought it was funny--and Lea Thompson was SOOO hot in the '80s.

I remember good ole Howard. I think it was sad when Lucas disowned the movie i mean he made it so he must have thought it was worthwhile project.
I havn't seen the comics in years though I love looking at old comics

Ohh ya steelback I agree about lea thomson. Did you see her in Beverly Hillbillies. you know the movies from the 90's? I loved her role in that movie. She has a cool french accent in it

I'm a big fan of the French/Québec accent, real or fake.

...So I go back to my earliest posts (as this name ~ I believe I've had other names here) to prove ~ yup ~ I've been here a long time - and I see this .
I didn't go to that screening of the " HtD " movie , though , I'm sure of that , one more " coll thing " I think I) can do i0n San Francisco that I end of not having the money (cleanliness/not too much stuff in tow/energy ) to go to .

I'm afraid as one who read the old Howard the Duck comics, I had always thought of the movie as a monstrous travesty. But as Howard had appeared at the end of Guardians Of The Galaxy, hopefully we'll see a more faithful film adaption someday. So, no, not a fan of the Lucas film.

I never heard of the comics till now. I loved the movie thou.
