Re: Airplane you always are taking the risk when your approach is "throw a gag at the wall every five seconds and hope most of them stick" that... none of them will stick. That doesn't fully account for Howard the Duck's perfect awfulness, but it's part of it.
I learned from this movie that mammals and birds are basically the same thing.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to the tiny condom that Howard keeps, unwrapped, in his wallet. It's a detail whose inclusion in the narrative was entirely necessary.

The revive of this thread somehow caused me to rewatch this movie, which I saw as a child and of which I retained only vague memories. It took me a few days to get through it. It is uniquely terrible, but it is redeemed in my eyes by the performance of Jorli McLain as Crystal, the waitress at the Cajun Sushi diner.

She has only two other screen credits. She was in "Under Cover" (1987). I wouldn't mind seeing this, but it seems the only way available is to track down a used VHS, which I am not prepared to do.
Her final screen credit is an episode of "thirtysomething". Here's her scene - she has one line at the very end.

Those head massagers! Back in the mid-2000s, a teenage mall kiosk clerk used one of those on me in a shopping mall without my consent. Came up behind me and surprised me with it! It was not a good feeling and I think it precipitated a cold that I had been fighting off to kick in to high gear.
