Viewing Notes

I’ll go on record as stating that Howard the Duck may be the worst movie ever made. I’m shocked this film was even made (and made with the outrageous budget for the time, 1986). Also not surprised that George Lucas was the executive producer on this. It’s just bad in every way imaginable. Not even Lea Thompson’s hotness makes it in the least bit redeemable. Gave me a headache watching. All that said, the featurettes are interesting b/c the entire time you want to yell at them, “why are you making this movie?!”
