(Plus this dude likes Hudson Hawk, so I automatically cut him some slack.)
I found this while Googling for images of the Dark Overlord that appears in the film's climax. Back in the summer of '86 (at age 12) I actually bought the large-format Marvel Comics adaptation of the flick -- already I wanted to support comic shops (go me!) -- and I found out later when I finally saw the film on cable that the Dark Overlord's appearance was changed in the comic to, essentially, a giant duck, instead of the disturbing scorpion-on-steroids that Tippett animated.
