Howard the Duck is a 1986 sci-fi/fantasy comic book adaptation film produced by George Lucas, starring Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins, considered by many to be one of, if not the, worst comic book adaptations of all time.

The very first Marvel Comics movie ever made, it is infamously known as being so poorly received that it caused Marvel to not release another cinematic live-action movie for twelve years.

And...duck tits.

Plot

An anthropomorphic talking duck from outer space saves Marty McFly's mom from tentacle bondage.
