Other mistake: In the scene where Howard falls asleep in Beverly's apartment window and his wallet falls out, she takes out the money. The city on the bill says Washington DC instead of Marshington DC. (00:19:00)

8.8/10. I love this movie. It's the first movie for Marvel way before anything else went into production. People who love Pixar should remember that because Howard the Duck bombed Lucas sold his assets to Steve Jobs who used them to found Pixar. Lea Thompson's a wonderful actress who never really caught a break back then, always playing second banana to jerks like Cruise and Fox. Howard seems quite real, good practical effects for the middle 80's. It's also one of those amusing type movies that people should give a second chance. Sure it's not Spider Man, Captain America, or Thor but it was the first way before them and we should maybe give it applause for its efforts. Lea Thompson in particular was great, she's wonderful.

Answer: As she said to Howard, she believed that he was using his "outlandish" appearance to be unable to find work and collect money through unemployment. She's probably dealt with people who did the same thing and was eventually sick of it.
