The only reason I even recommend this film a little is because it had so much potential yet reaches none of it sadly.A real Lucas bomb.Released in 1986 and running 110 minutes its also really dated.Looks like the 80's but that alone is not the real issue.That is that Lucas didn't know what kinda of film he wanted to make.Now I have never read the comic its based on,but from a sci-fi aspect,I like the idea of another world were ducks are us and still another with really bad things.Thats kinda cool but then to wink,wink,nod,nod,pass over the bestiality aspect of a duck and a HOT rock girls band lead singer MAYBE getting it on, is a cop out after so many hints in that direction.Plus it takes a while to get going as the first 1/2 hour is kinda silly.Then the duck has to stay here and make the best of it,really???Kirk never would have made the choice HE made !!!!
The actors are cute and try hard and Jeffrey Jones as Dr. Walter Jenning turns in another comic/villian masterpiece acting performance,far better than anyone else in the film.So if you want to see a film come up short by a master film maker and scratch your head wondering why,this is for you.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
A scientific experiment unknowingly brings extraterrestrial life forms to the Earth through a laser beam. First is the cigar smoking drake Howard from the duck's planet. A few kids try to keep him from the greedy scientists and help him back to his planet. But then a much less friendly being arrives through the beam...
