Howard the Duck

In the quirky 1986 film Howard the Duck, Howard (voiced by Chip Zien), a wise-cracking, cigar-chomping duck from another dimension, inexplicably lands on Earth. He befriends Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson), a struggling musician, and Phil Blumburtt (Tim Robbins), a bumbling scientist. As they navigate their uncanny reality, an evil Dark Overlord (Jeffrey Jones) threatens humanity. The trio must overcome outlandish obstacles to save the world from impending doom. Despite being a commercial failure upon release, this sci-fi comedy has gained cult status over time for its peculiar premise and distinctive characters.
