Howard the Duck
Sassy, wise-cracking human sized duck Howard is going about his day to day life on his home planet, when an experiment involving a laser beam on far flung planet Earth drags him halfway across the cosmos to Cleveland, USA. Howard is understandably unsettled, but soon makes close friends with singer Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson), who helps protect him from the greedy scientists responsible for his intergalactic expedition. But matters soon turn from bad to worse, when an evil alien invader appears through the laser beam and takes possession of scientist Dr Jenning (Jeffrey Jones), leaving his assistant Phil (Tim Robbins) and the giant duck in a fight for their very existence.

Toned down from an adult comic strip, this peculiar film has nowhere to go because it's too sexy for kids and too stupid for adults.
