Howard the Duck movie was the only movie that I have ever actually walked out on. The only other film that I came close to walking out on was Battlefield Earth.

It's so rare that I'm granted an opportunity to tell my dumb high school Howard the Duck stories ...

When I was a senior in high school, my best friend's mother had a job as a repo woman. She repossessed and auctioned off property from people who were thrown out of their condos.

One of the properties she came across belonged to some kind of movie promoter. She had a box of about 200 Howard The Duck soundtracks that, strangely, she couldn't seem to get rid of. The fact that Howard The Duck was a film this promoter was charged with speaks volumes as to why he was kicked out of his home.

So my friend's mom gave the albums to Steve, who in turn offered them to me. I was taking a film class at the time, and  decided I'd use the albums in my final project (a ten minute short). It ended up being about a Karen Carpenter worshipper who, after angering a bold temptress that desired his affections, is driven to suicide when the woman ransacks his house and replaces all of his Karen Carpenter artifacts with Howard the Duck records. This wound up being a popular follow-up to my smash debut high school 8-mm silent short, "Yoko Ono Eats A Bagel."

Anyhow, while the albums served their creative purpose and then some, it was quite daunting to own 200 Howard The Duck soundtracks. My friend and I -- with the help of two other equaly disturbed friends -- decided to give them all away outside a mall. We posed as a strange teenaged cult of Duck worshippers -- we donned bedsheets. Played toy tamborines. " We sang 'He's Howard The Duck -- Whooo!" And we handed copies of the record to people entering the mall saying, "He loves you." (I actually filmed all this on my school-loaned 8-mm camera.) Keep in mind -- this was 1990, several years after the film had already crashed and burned at theaters.

We did give them all away. Well, not all of them -- I still have one or two somewhere.

...Too bad...
You missed out on two VERY original and strangely executed comedic gems...;)

I liked the comic...which is comming back, if i heard correctly!....and never thought they did Howie justice. Danny DiVeto would have been fine for Howie....but Noooooo!.....(Grumbel,grumble, growl, growl.) Lousy costume, bad actor. Such a missed opertunity..............
