Visible crew/equipment: When the Overlord is busy destroying the Diner, when he starts destroying stuff on the counter, you can see the small rods pop up that flip the saucers and glasses into the air. You can also see the compressed air they used, to aid with the effect.
Howard the Duck (1986)
Directed by: Willard Huyck
Starring: Tim Robbins, Jeffrey Jones, Lea Thompson, Ed Gale
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)
Revealing mistake: When Howard's running from the female bikers, Satan's Sluts, look closely at one and you can tell it's a guy in drag, one wearing a dark blond wig. (00:10:00)

Suggested correction: I was in this part of the movie, everyone in this scene (except for the duck) is female.
Trivia: When Howard knocks the duck hunter out of his boat, the hunter lets out a "Wilhelm scream."

Phil: Get out of there! Duck!
Howard: And proud of it.
Phil Blumburtt: Lilly had the dolphins. Cousteau the whales. Goodall, gorillas. I had a duck. I could have been a contender.
Question: Why is the secretary was so rude to Howard when he tried to find the job?
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.
Question: What happens to Jennings after Howard destroys the Laser Spectroscope to prevent more Dark Overlords from coming to earth? He is never seen with Howard, Beverly and Phil after it's destroyed.
Answer: He means, what happens to him in that very scene.
Answer: He probably goes back to being a scientist afterwards. Maybe he went into hiding after what he'd been through out of fear of the government wanting to hold him responsible for that power plant's mess.
