12 Incredible Endings To Otherwise Terrible Movies

5. Howard The Duck (1986)

it might have a cult following, but Howard The Duck is definitely not a good film. It isn't even a mediocre film and would actually have to jump up several rungs on the ladder to even qualify as bad, in fact. It was no accident that it tanked at the box office and was roundly laughed at by critics.

Between the skull-slapping stupidity of the script and the poor decisions of the story (including a love scene you'll want to scrub your eyeballs after) it's almost unwatchable, but it does have one slightly redeeming sequence. The problem is you have to wait until the end credits again to enjoy it, and that's a slog of almost unimaginable proportions.

In its only treat, we get to see the titular Duck take up his guitar to play alongside Lea Thompson's band while dancing and genuinely getting over with the audience. Not a bad tune either. It's just baffling why it took that long for anyone to realise we really needed to like Howard a bit.
