Howard the Duck (1986) is one of the most bizarre and cult-worthy films of the ’80s—a sci-fi comedy that blends comic book chaos, quirky romance, and interdimensional weirdness.
Based on the Marvel comic, the film follows a sarcastic, cigar-smoking alien duck who lands on Earth and teams up with a struggling rock singer to save the world from an otherworldly threat.
Lea Thompson stars as Beverly, the punk-rock frontwoman with a big heart who becomes Howard’s closest ally—and unlikely love interest. With her wild hair, leather outfits, and genuine charm, Thompson brings warmth, humor, and total commitment to one of the most offbeat roles of her career.
