I saw this movie years ago on HBO or Showtime, Thought... Ehhh.. Nothing big. The more times I saw this film the more I realized the amount of detail and elbow grease was put into it. You have to watch this and pay attention to the details. The cast of this movie was priceless. And Bruce and Danny make a hell of a duet.

No Blu-Ray version of this, but it was a nice price, adn added 30 cents to my shipping, what teh hell, right?

Lame extras, fair picture and audio quality.

Although it's not a so-great movie, i stil enjoy it.

You may have heard about this film, one of the most notorious flops of 1991. I first saw this in the theatre in 1991. At the time I thought it was brilliant and like nothing else you had ever seen. A very odd combo of action film, romance,comedy and out and out weirdness. Not surprisingly this has become a cult film over the years and holds up very well today. Bruce Willis and the rest of the cast apear to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. So go treat yourself with the new special edition DVD.You have the commentary track from the old dvd along with a few new featurettes, deleted scenes and a trivia track. A fun way to while away an evening. Love it or loathe it you will not forget this movie.

i thought
this movie was an absolute riot.funny doesn't begin to describe this
film.the movie is very well written.the dialogue is top notch(though
many people will disagree with me on that point)and there are some
great one liners.i think the genius of the film is that it takes what
some people may think is bad dialogue and makes it good.this is a
deliberately funny movie.it's not one of those "so bad it's good"
movies.of course it isn't just funny.it's also full of action.now,even
though most critics panned it,many
filmmakers must have found some merit in it.how else do you explain
that fact that this movie is often referenced in later movies?i'm
pretty sure this is what you would call a cult classic.you won't find
any deep profound meaning here,but it's a truly entertaining romp.for
me,"Hudson Hawk" is a 4.5/5

Well, don't ever believe the critics. I find when they write bad reviews that's when you got to go see the movie. I'm a big Bruce Willis fan but don't rave about all his movies. This movie was VERY entertaining and a good sing-a-long. I now have the soundtrack so I can sing to it in my car.
It's worth the money to buy this one.

This is one of the worst movies ever made. The comedy can only be enjoyed by a preteen. An R-rated movie starring Bruce Willis with loney-toon style sound effects and all of the crappiest things you can think of. This movie is horrible. In order to like this movie you must have had a full lobotomy.

I remember really diggin the hell out of this at the theatre, despite the fact that it tanked and I was all of 12. What gets me is that- I understand why your average brainwashed zombified office drone wouldn't like this but the critics panned it too. Actually, that doesn't surprise me, given the heidi fleiss treatment they've lavished on the wretched 'Troy.' Anyway, Glad to see there's a little amazon cult of like-minded souls who appreciate the hilarious absurdity, one-off jokes, great performances, neat ideas and all around craziness this movie delivers.

Yeah, there are some plot problems and pacing is off-kilter, but heck, this film is so much fun from the first second til the end when Eddie finally gets his- no I won't ruin it... Give it a chance. I haven't perused the DVD but doubt it has much extra stuff. This isn't the kind of film the gets the redux.

If the thought of Danny Aiello, Bruce Willis, James Coburn, Sandra Bernhardt, Andie McDowell (no relation to Malcolm), a young David Caruso, and a handful of other dynamic character actors doesn't appeal to you then stop reading now. Moreover, if the thought of the world's greatest jewel thief stealing Da Vinci treasures, a Vatican spy agency, an over-the-top madman entrepreneur and his depraved wife aimed at destroying the world's economy, a corrupt CIA covert ops team called "The Candybars," doesn't pique your interest then go back to bed.

Some of the best one liners I've ever heard. They never get old. "I must speak with the dolphins now." "Just kill her- Darwin! This is supposed to be torture, not therapy." "Bettie Jo Baijarsky? I can get you an address on that." "Bunny?!? Ball Ball!!!"

If you like Bill Murray's everyman attitude in ghostbusters then this film's humor will appeal.

In summation- If you dug 'Ice Pirates,' "The Princess Bride," or any Terry Gilliam film you will probably dig this one.

ciao.

I hate stupid movies. Mel Brooks annoys the hell out of me. But I like, nay, LOVE Hudson Hawk. One of the few movies not directed by David Lynch that constantly leaves you thinking "What the f___?" in the same way that "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" leaves you thinking "What the f___?" It's an acid-soaked Catholic caper with snappy dialogue and great Bond-esque one-liners. You just have to let go of sanity and roll with it. As for the all-knowing movie gods who panned this scategorical masterpiece, what do they call you, Ig and Ook?

The first time I watched this movie I left the theatre angry and wondering what the hell was that. Then I saw it again on cable, then again and finally I bought the DVD and have watched it over and over. It is a silly action comedy that has a force of evil that will make you addicted to the movie. Is that so bad? Well at least I never went for the candy bar nicknaming of my friends but I did watch Bunny fly out a window over and over again. Is it a great movie, no but if you do not take it seriously it can be a fun one. I have to give credit to a movie that uses sounds from "In Like Flint" and has Sylvestor Stallone's brother. "The man knows, the man knows."

OK, so it's not high drama. But the critics need to get a clue. This is a fun flick. The music is great, and it fits. It borders on slapsitck from time to time, but manages to to miss it by a hair. The music as a timing device is very clever, and makes it all work.
