Woah, this means there are going to be a lot of folks who will need to find a new reason to exist in the DVD community. Maybe they can start hoping for a Song of the South release.

I think there was an EU DVD release a while back, after much demand from fans, just to see the awfulness of the movie.

xtop · 12-04-2008, 11:26 PM

freaking sweet!

Chocolatejas · 12-04-2008, 11:34 PM

I think I have the VHS at home... No player though.

Beta Man · 12-04-2008, 11:42 PM

They should have made it a Blu-ray exclusive........ it would have forced MILLIONS to make the leap to blu-ray

By the way, I'll be buying this FOR SURE on DVD, and blu-ray (if it ever comes out)

And found out, unfortunately, it's not "Ed Wood awful", it's just plain old "The Temple of Doom screenwriters got an 80's-comedy directing gig remaking ALF" awful--

Like "Best Defense", only that one doesn't have the easy Lucas-joke lure to it.

(And now we'll hear from some raving fanboys who, twenty years later, still think it really WAS George's idea...)

Total guilty pleasure. Wish it was Blu-Ray, but I'll take what I can get.

ThePhantomOak · 12-05-2008, 02:34 AM

On a family trip when I was young we passed by them filming the part when the airplane goes through the billboard...

So, we all went and saw it, and I that is still the only part I remember.

Cool As Ice was released on dvd

i didnt think it was bad as a kid, seeing it again on tv i realized i was wrong though

Truewitt · 12-11-2008, 05:01 AM

Howard the Duck is a great satire. While it does not live up to the comics, it still works better than most.

STARSCREAM · 12-11-2008, 05:36 AM

Terrible movie. The whole premise is so stupid.

Preach it, brother. I agree completely. I'd rather watch Plan 9 From Outer Space instead.

Howard The ****ing Duck! On DVD, YES! FINALLY! I loved the movie when I was a kid and that hasn't changed! I'm so picking this up!
