Hudson Hawk (1991)

This movie was supposed to be a big blockbuster hit. but it ended up as almost the end to Bruce Willis's career. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. The whole world likes Willis's acting, action and the characters he portrays.

Although this movie was recently rated among the 10 worst movies of all time at MSN, I found it quite refreshing, interestingly funny and downright campy. I laugh every time I see the movie. how many movies can you say that about?

"Bunny! Ball Ball!" Just precious.

The storyline is as follows. A Dominatrix (Sandra Bernhard) and her megalomaniac husband (Richard E Grant) are setting in motion a plot to take over the world. Willis's character, Eddie Hawkins, is the only person who can stop them.

The plot is a classic and the laughs just keep coming. Complete with Andie McDowell as Hawkins's love interest, this movie is very entertaining.

What other movie has "the guy on the donkey" listed in its credits?

Fmovies: Yes, it was terribly bashed by critics. Well, what do they know? It's too bad that in the movie industry something this original is cast aside as stupid and pointless and we're left with such pearls that are obviously rip-offs of each other. This has action, comedy, romance, intrigue, music, madness, slapstick, all rolled into one neat bundle. I wish Bruce Willis and Michael Lehmann would be brave enough to get together and treat us to Hudson Hawk 2. I'm sure Danny and Andie would gladly come back for more Hawk, and I can only dream of the insanities and the commentaries that could be presented nowadays, on our total PC age. Politics, society, religion, the movie industry, it's all tackled at here, and could be done again! And the lines! Wow, this movie is almost entirely quotable! Come on guys, think of a sequel! It's not like Bruce Willis is doing any incredible movie these days...

And if you haven't seen this because somebody told you it was a bad movie, open your mind and go watch it now! You won't be disappointed! I guarantee you'll be whistling "Swinging on a Star" when it's over!

A movie that I've never understood the critics' response against. Yes, it's primarily a Bruce Willis ego-trip. Who cares? It's a _fun_ Bruce Willis ego-trip. He smirks, smartmouths, struts, sings, and strides through every scene. But he still doesn't manage to steal the thunder of Danny Aiello, James Coburn and his band of covert agents, and Sandra Bernhard and Richard Grant in a truly bizarre series of sequences as eccentric (to put it mildly) billionaires. Andie MacDowell doesn't make much of a romantic lead, but even she gets a goofball sequence when she starts speaking in Dolphin-ish.

Hudson Hawk fmovies. I have watched this flick at least 30 times. I can recite it almost verbatim.

I also realize that I am relatively alone in my feelings for this movie. My wife reminds me of that all the time.

The humor in this flick probably doesn't appeal to most people, because they like to be spoon-fed humor. Slapstick and punny humor is far too refined for most.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for (this movie).

P.S. The director's commentary on the DVD is great if you're a fan of the film.

Hudson Hawk has cult movie written all over it. Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello have a blast making robberies while singing show tunes. It put me in the spirit of the movie and I enjoyed myself. Everybody in the cast overacts but that didn't bother me at all. This is the kind of movie that after years pass will be considered a cult classic. Check out Hudson Hawk if you want to have a good time. Because like all the best films, you have to suspend your belief in reality to make it work and this movie is fantasy on a whole new level.

This movie is a classic farce (something Hollywood hasn't done much of in a while - at least, not intentionally). Situations and characters are so far over the top it's amazing they don't just float off into space. Bruce Willis is in cute smile / sarcastic wisecrack mode - more like his 'Moonlighting' days as opposed to his current action hero motif - he gets to deal with psychotic billionaires, the "MTV-IA", (somewhat) organized crime, and attractive nun from the Vatican. They play this one on cable quite a bit lately, and I still get a kick every time I channel-surf to it - it's good for a good chuckle several times a minute. Watch it, sit back, have fun, but don't try to take anything even remotely seriously!
