I don't think it freaked me out, but I have had friends that have been creepd out over something where the person's face is not visible. I think it is kinda common.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-24413633082474701462013-07-22T17:28:47.402-05:002013-07-22T17:28:47.402-05:00I know!

Like I have friends that don't even recall there being a Superman 3 and I'm like, "Ok, I know this stuff really happened!" lol Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-48713328948003382952013-07-21T18:47:28.606-05:002013-07-21T18:47:28.606-05:00I love the movie Batteries Not Included.

They used to sometimes show Howard directly after the Saturday morning cartoons,(just like you had your experience watching an early Saturday afternoon movie) and sometimes I would watch the beginning of it, and I remember it freaked me out! I don't even remember seeing the entire movie until I was older (I don't remember why, but I guess I had to go somewhere in the afternoons with my mom so the movie never got watched all the way through.) but the opening, where he is on Duck World bothered me, and in retrospect, I think I know why. They never showed his face. There was something ominous about the fact that you never saw his face in the opening part.I think that freaked me out. In fact, I even remember being freaked out by the end of the M.C Hammer 2 Legit 2 Quit video because they just showed Micheal Jackson's hand doing the 2 legit hand thing, but not his face! I guess that struck me as eerie. I am surprised I wasn't freaked out by Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget. Maybe I wasn't because it was a cartoon.<br /> Anyway I love Howard the Duck now,despite how critically reviled it is. As far as Lucas films go it is far better than any of the Star Wars Prequels.

I actually saw it again a few months ago, and I have to say it doesn't seem to hold up that well. I know he was a hot property at the time, but the inclusion of Richard Pryor just baffles me.

I seem to recall that there were certain versions of the film depending on what they were shown on where that whole scene was cut out. Or at least edited.

I don't remember that one. <br />In the cartoon Futurama the robots reproduce in a similar way of getting pregnant and then spitting out a baby robot that eventually grows up.
