Continuing the 4,000 Questions series: "What movie did you like that everybody else hated?"
That's an easy one to answer: Howard the Duck. I have no idea why this movie bombed at the box office or why people make fun of it, but I love it! I saw it again on cable a few months ago and cracked up as Howard delivered these classic lines:
"That's it, No more Mr. Nice Duck."
"Desperate ducks commit desperate acts."
"No one laughs at a master of Quack Fu!"
"Of all the alleys in the world I could have fallen into that night, why did it have to be yours?"
"I know why you need the toolbox -- you've got a screw loose."
And my favorite line:
"What is the name of this place?" Howard asks Beverly.
"Oh, Cleveland."
"Cleve-Land. Perfectly weird name for this planet."
Every time I hear Cleveland, I hear it as Cleve-Land.
My friends make fun of me for liking this movie. Critics hated it. I think even Lea Thompson is embarrassed by it. But I love it.
