Among the worst films with budgets and professional crews (as distinct from ROBOT MONSTER and MONSTER-A-GO-GO) I've seen are such gems as THE BLACK DAHLIA, BATTLEFIELD EARTH and INDEPENDENCE DAY (ID-4)...but I don't think I've been angrier about another film than I was about CRASH (the later Oscar-winner for best picture). Though the comic-book film WANTED was close, in its fanchild smug arrogance and stupidity.
I've seen a lot of movies that were a lot worse than poor old Howard. But I think people went in to Howard expecting more than they did some of the other movies I'm thinking about.
Four! Including Manos--although only in the hilarious MST3K version--does that count? Incidently, my husband has what he claims to be the largest collection of Howard the Duck movie memorabilia belonging to someone not associated with the movie--including HTD bedroom slippers.
/Do yourself a favor and do not see The Room or Birdemic.
I've seen HOWARD THE DUCK and MANOS - but that was the MST3K treatment and they couldn't redeem it. I enjoyed HOWARD, not as bad as people say. I would put LITTLE CIGARS MOB on the list.

I bet the one you've seen is the same as my one.
Same here, if it was Howard. I sort of liked it, actually. Guilty pleasure, I guess. But, I enjoyed the comic too.
It was HOWARD THE DUCK wasn't it? MANOS THE HAND OF FATE was the one I saw, though I've blocked every frame out of my brain.

Yes, HOWARD is the one I saw. I didn't hate it.

I was a big fan of the Howard comic and I sort of liked the movie. I don't think it belongs on this list.
I am proud to say not only have I not seen any of the other 9 but I haven't even heard of them!
I, too, only saw HOWARD, but I'm more than willing to demand my money back from all ten of them.
