Summary: Come On Universal......Release The U.S. DVD
Comment: 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.

Summary: One of my favorite movies ever. Can't wait for the DVD!
Comment: 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 Katz and they were surprised when the movie wasn't available on DVD yet. Willard said they may have to talk to George Lucas to get the movie available on Region 1. If Universal ever puts it out on DVD I hope that Howard the Duck gets the special edition treatment it deserves in widescreen no doubt. Until then, I'll be waiting and the movie still rocks!

Summary: my friend loved it
Comment: I bought this a couple of months ago for my friend. We had made a couple of jokes about this movie and how funny it used to be. 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.

Summary: AN AWESOME, CLASSIC MARVEL COMIC FLICK!!!
Comment: 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 to the machine and a Dark Overlord takes over Jenning's body. Later, Jenning takes Beverly as a hostage and Howard and Phil must save her before the Dark Overlord summons his friends and destroys all life on Earth. The special effects are awesome! The look of the film is of the classic 80's! I highly recommend it! HOWARD THE DUCK IS A NEW BREED OF HERO!!!

p.s. RELEASE THE DVD IN AMERICA ALREADY!!!

Summary: It's about time it showed up on DVD
Comment: It's about time this movie showed up on DVD. I own it on Laserdisk. From what I understand there may be no (or precious few) extras on the DVD.

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