The title change

Not sure, but it definitely has that "Marx Bros." sound to it. Maybe it was too close to "Duck Soup" for the marketing dep't?

I remember seeing a huge lobby cardboard stand for "Lame Ducks" like a year and a half before the film came out (I was big into the Marx Bros. at the time) and waited for it. Finally, it came out under the new name, but I love this movie. Flakfizer rules!

I like Lame Ducks better as a title for this movie.

I do remember reading in a book that Entertainment Weekly put out around 1992 that Lame Ducks was an alternate title used in foreign markets.


Giddy-up, goat!

I don't know either. Brain Donors (slang for idiots) is a funny title, though at first glance it sounds like a horror film.

I would have called it Odd Ducks myself. Lame Ducks is okay, though it would've been a corny goto pun for uptight movie critics
