Hudson Hawk (1991)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Thief extraordinaire Hudson Hawk (Bruce Willis) has just been released from prison and all he wants is a nice cappuccino. However, before he can savor his favorite beverage, the highly eccentric and wealthy Darwin Mayflower and his equally odd wife, Minerva, rope Hawk into an ambitious series of heists. Soon Hawk is stealing no less than major works by Leonardo Da Vinci, priceless pieces that the Mayflowers plan to use in an exceedingly nefarious way. Kooky, cartoonish, and action packed,"

"Re-watch - March 31st With the news of Bruce Willis's illness and retirement being announced this week, I wanted to watch something of his that I love and opted for the underappreciated Hudson Hawk. I get why it flopped at the box office. At the time he was riding a high wave of action hits, & the marketing for this film leaned on those aspects within which set the wrong expectations. Sure there's action here, but it's mostly a comedy and more of a live-action cartoon at that. The villains are "

Movies That I Changed My Mind About (51 movies items)

"I didn’t like Hudson Hawk when I first saw it, and I think it’s because it was marketed as a action movie, but now I can’t happen but think if it was marketed as the comedy, that it really was, it would gone over a bit more. It’s a odd, quirky, and fun movie."

“To say that this film is crazy and silly from start to finish is an absolute understatement. Hudson Hawk (Bruce Willis) and Tommy Five-Tone (Danny Aiello) are cat burglars who are blackmailed on a mission to steal Renaissance artifacts that contain diamonds. These diamonds are used to resurrect a Da Vinci alchemical machine that turns basic metals into gold. Of course, Hudson Hawk combines elements of tongue-and-cheek dark humor, Hope and Crosby adventure comedies, surreal humor, cartoony slapstick humor, and screwball comedy. However, a good chunk of why the movie doesn’t work is because the humor doesn’t impact the story at all or lead to anywhere, like the writers are presenting every over-the-top joke in a desperate attempt to grab the audience’s attention.

"Maineensa veroinen. Käsittämätön virhearvio, uskomattoman mauttomia ja huonoja vitsejä, Bruce Willis vääntelee naamaansa ja keimailee ns. vitun ärsyttävästi (suoranainen ihme ettei hän kuopannut uraansa tällä kalkkunalla), hirveää kohkaamista ja valtaisa riitasointu lastenelokuvamaisen sohlauksen ja kohelluksen sekä graafisen väkivallan ja hikisten raiskausvitsien välillä. Samalla tietty haikeus painaa sydänalaa, kaiho kadonneitten mahdollisuuksien maailmaan. Nykyisten, lopp"

" Date: 5/2/2020 Viewed: Crackle Re-Watch Note: Today was a rainy day and I decide to rewatch this movie because I haven't seen it since I was a little kid in the 90s. It's not as bad as most people make it out to be, but it's still not a very good movie. The movie has a cool premise, but the execution is poor. Hudson Hawk is a pretty neat anti-hero character, but the other cast of characters are forgettable. The worst part of this movie is the comedy because most of it is not very funny. So"
