Roderick George Toombs (April 17, 1954 – July 31, 2015), better known as 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, or 'Hot Rod,' was a Canadian professional wrestler, amateur wrestler, and actor. Although he was Canadian, because of his Scottish heritage he was billed as coming from Glasgow and was known for his signature kilt and bagpipe entrance music. Piper earned the nicknames 'Rowdy' and 'Hot Rod' by displaying his trademark 'Scottish' short temper, spontaneity, and quick wit. He is considered by many to be the greatest villain wrestler ever. Outside of wrestling, Piper acted in dozens of films and TV shows, most notably the 1988 cult classic They Live.
Howard the Duck is a 1986 film based on the comic book character of the same name. The movie sees Howard suddenly beamed from Duckworld, a planet of intelligent ducks with arms and legs, to Earth, where he lands in Cleveland. There, he saves rocker Beverly from thugs and forms a friendship with her. She introduces him to Phil, who works at a lab with scientist Dr. Jenning. When the doctor attempts to return Howard to his world, Jenning instead transfers an evil spirit into his own body. The film was a critical and commercial failure, and is considered among the worst films of all time, but like all things terrible, it has also developed a cult following and even calls for a reboot or the sequel that never happened to finally be produced.
