Even if a movie is bad the lack of CGI makes me appreciate the actual hard work and real danger in making movies back then. 😄♥️

[Rodschach]

The music of this scene is so EPIC. I wish I found this track someday.

[terriyunnadew]

Years later, this movie is still great. Hey Disney plus, give this duck a tv show! And put Beverly in it too..!

[JoshuaModerwell]

This is why I like this version of Howard the Duck, because he cared so much for Beverly that even he would put his own life on the line to avoid getting arrested by Earth's law-enforcement authorities and confront an ancient long-forgotten evil being with almost supernatural-like power just to get her back.

Say what you will about the movie but the flight scene really captured the essence of the comic. It's silly, but tense.

[NinjaBuddha]

Howard: I can't swim!
LMAO! This part had me rolling as kid even today.

[jamesc.]

Honestly, this isn't a very bad movie soundtrack. It's perfect and very suited for a 80's action movie. It's just crazy it's not even in the soundtrack.

[herbertrossman]

I grew up in the 1980s I use to rent this movie on VHS back in the day me and my folks

[Phatgameboy]

Been looking for this particular song for years the music is so good

[andrewbradford]

one of my favorite movies from the 80's

[rickymay]

Adored this film as a kid, and still love it now. So incredibly underrated! :)

[tamekabuckley]

A great all time favorite as a child. This movie still rocks..👍☝👍

[houstonhelicoptertours]

It's a Quicksilver MX, still in production today.

[LilCyco]

"Death from the skies to all duck hunters!!! BANZAI!!"

[CRA_I_Music]

Always loved this scene and especially the music. Pity this music isn't on the soundtrack, or anywhere to be honest :(

[Skilldraw]

Cool! Howard.
Animatronics are the best. Sadly, this movie wasn't close to the original.

[hilarioph]

Very funny scene. I can not stop laughing

[cubdukat]

To think that this one film nearly killed Lucasfilm...But at least there was one bright spot to it: if it was never made, we would never have gotten Pixar. Because they were hemorrhaging money so badly after this, they were forced to split off what would eventually become Pixar.

[dmelara]

Look up in the sky its a bird its a plane Its Howard the duck

[Struckworld]

I knew he was a comic.

But you mentioned "original" right after animatronics, so I thought there could've been another movie before this one.
