Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBruce Willis received a story credit. It was his only attempt at screenwriting.
- GoofsHudson Hawk is given a brick of gold and a brick of lead while blindfolded, to demonstrate that they are indistinguishable by weight. Gold is 70% denser than lead, and the weight difference would be easily noticed. The gold brick would weigh about 30 pounds, but they handle it as if it weighs a couple of pounds. They also mention that gold and lead differ by one proton on the periodic table of elements. The difference is actually 3 protons and 7 neutrons.
- Quotes
Darwin Mayflower: I'll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom!
Hudson Hawk: Betty Jo Biarski? I can get you an address on that, if you want.
- Alternate versionsThe German VHS version contains several more lines of dialog, mostly from characters off-screen to make scenes funny in German. For example: When Hudson Hawk falls into the chair after he jumps from the roof of the auction house, the Butler says he collects Concorde tickets because once you get 100 "you get a stewardess for free" and Antony Mario adds that he would prefer the pilot.

Featured review
By far the best "turkey" ever made!
You don't like HUDSON HAWK? like , who cares? Movies are all about entertainment and there is more than enough going on in this film to justify its success in this department. Leaves MIB2 for dead!
As one intelligent person commented, at no stage does the film attempt to take itself seriously and that being the case the viewer is advised to judge it in the same light. OK, some of you don't like Sandra Bernhard (though her performance in KING OF COMEDY was a career highlight)...I personally cannot abide Andie MacDowell. HUDSON HAWK sends up everything, from its own origins to serious drama, heist movies, actioners and wannabe intellectual flicks. If you REALLY watch and listen to this film you will discover that it is absolutely brilliant. The repartee between Richard E Grant and Sandra Bernhard borders on the inspired. Did any of you notice the presidential "hot line" ring-tone tribute to James Coburn's FLINT movies!
Hell this is a fun movie. We bought it in '91 and have watched it perhaps 30 times since. Its problem IS that it is completely over the top of the average theater-going moron.
