Trivia
George Lucas's close friend John Landis was originally slated to direct this film but after reading the script turned down the opportunity due to the police car crashes in the finale. He felt this was too similar to that of his previous film The Blues Brothers. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: In the diner scene, when Howard is levitated and spun around near the ceiling by Dr. Jenning, the shadow reveals a pole reaching from the ceiling to Howard to achieve this effect. See more »Quotes
Dr. Jenning: You are about to make history a second time, my little friend.Howard T. Duck: Thanks. But once was plenty.
