i'm not saying that this is the movie referred to, but it's my big chance to say that I, for one, really enjoyed Howard the Duck.

Brock Peters is best known for playing defendant Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Last Starfighter is a **½ film from 1984. Its first clued castmember would have been Wil Wheaton. "Likable but toothless adventure (with arch-villain who simply disappears from the proceedings) ..."

Krull?
