Howard The Duck (1986)

As with the more recent Ted and Ted 2, the basic tenet of Executive Producer George Lucas' infamous box office bomb seems to be that a furry or fluffy creature doing human adult things like smoking cigars, drinking beer, and bar brawling is funny, but this Marvel comic-inspired movie about a 3 foot 2 inch and - except for his pink skin eyelids - frozen-faced duck alien who somehow ends up trapped in Cleveland, is so mundane that a more suitable title would have been Howard The Turkey or HowAwful The Duck.

Beverley Hills Cop III (1994)

While investigating his boss's murder, Detroit cop Axel Foley uncovers criminal goings-on at a themepark, in this third Beverly Hills Cop movie worth watching for its George Lucas cameo and to marvel at the sort of dross that constituted blockbuster entertainment in the early 90s.
