Why George Lucas? Why?
For a kids movie this is simply shocking. It contains condoms, drinking, smoking and possibly doing drugs in a bar. Horror elements and is all round one of the worst films I've seen.

So cheesey....... IT'S GOOD
I saw this when I was 5 and feel in love, I thought this was one of the coolest movies ever (until my cousin broke the VHS) and now the DVD has come and I give my full review. You got to love it or got to hate it. I thought it was so funny how the film treated itself so seriously (come on, you can't say quack fu with a straight face). I still watch it whenever I can, so it's great for younger kids, but it gets a bit iffy with the sex (Beverly almost has sex with Howard, Beverly finds a condom in Howards wallet, see couples making out at a bath house, etc.) But if you remember this from your childhood, by all means watch it

Screwed Up
Howard the Duck is horrible with alcohol references, violent content (references to The Exorcist: the scariest movie in the world.), sexual content up the roof and some (brief) moderate cussing. Why wasn't this rated PG-13? Again, the rating is screwed up even though there WAS a PG-13 rating back then.

If you thought Lucas' Jar Jar Binks was stupid just take one look at this stinker
Disgustingly awful superhero spoof. It's violent, may scare younger viewers, full of sexual stuff (condoms, duck breasts and a woman hinting about having sex with a duck), bad language, drinking, smoking, drugs and a really bad role model. This is a movie you must skip.

A very very very horrible movie even now, but very silly
This movie is boring. It's very dumb, No it's very very very dumb. It's the stupidest movie i've seen and the trailer proves it. I highly skip this title

A Silly Movie
This movie is terrible. It feels like to movies. A dirty spoof, which isn't funny, and a sci-fi horror, which is actually funny is places. The movie has several scenes which kids under 10 may find scary because it has a man morphing into a monster but very slowly. You see a female duck's breast, a condom in a wallet and you even see Howard's girlfriend (Who is human) start getting ready to have a sexual encounter with him. Near the begin you see spoofs of popular names including "Breeders of the Lost Ark" and "Playduck". There are a few funny scenes like the one where the villian puts his tongue in the cigar lighter (This was their attempt to be scary). Also cursed words are used throughout. This is definatley one bad movie.
