1991 film by Michael Lehmann

On this episode of the Hate Watch/Great Watch Podcast, we are joined by cinematic maniac Nikk Nelson to discuss a truly one-of-a-kind time capsule of the 1990s!Sometimes, you've gotta make your own fun. It's Hudson Hawk (1991)! Links: → Return of Bruno→ Space Pants→ Nikk Neon on BlueskyQuestions, comments, requests? Write us at: WriteHWGW@gmail.com
We're still fixated on HEISTS, people!!! Nick Langdon pops in to discuss Charley Varrick (1973), directed by Don Siegel, and then Hudson Hawk (1991), directed by Michael Lehmann. Walter Matthau gets dark and grisly under Siegel's immaculate directorial hand (even if he didn't get the movie at all, apparently) and Joel Silver lets Bruce Willis' ego off the leash completely (with the result that very few people got the movie at all). Underappreciated gems or not? You be the judge! And then see if you agree with us! It's not really possible to spoil Hudson Hawk (plot is kind of secondary), but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Charley Varrick. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:23:51 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

When it comes to supporters of the show, Tony Farina is the OG. And when it comes to stitch ups, the same could be said! Back when Chris and Dave were still finding their way with Comics In Motion, Tony found the podcast and suggested both Speed Racer and Tank Girl. And at the time, Chris believed these were the worst movies he'd ever seen. Fast forward to 2025, Tony has chosen a favourite of his. The much maligned, Hudson Hawk.Hudson Hawk was an infamously chaotic and overblown affair, marked by creative clashes, ballooning costs, and a shifting tone that left even the filmmakers unsure of what they were making. Conceived as a pet project for Bruce Willis, who co-wrote the story, the film was meant to be a stylish, fast-paced heist comedy with a quirky sense of humor. However, as production went on, the film became a strange hybrid of slapstick, action, and self-aware absurdity. Director Michael Lehmann, best known for Heathers, struggled to balance the various tones, while Willis—at the peak of his Hollywood power—reportedly had significant influence over creative decisions, leading to constant rewrites and improvisation on set.Adding to the mayhem, Hudson Hawk had a bloated budget of around $65 million, due in part to its globe-trotting locations, elaborate stunts, and extensive reshoots. The film was primarily shot in Italy, making use of grand European backdrops for its bizarre plot about an art heist intertwined with Leonardo da Vinci's inventions. Despite its high production values and an ensemble cast including Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, and Richard E. Grant, the film flopped spectacularly at the box office and was widely panned by critics. Over time, however, Hudson Hawk has developed a cult following, appreciated for its sheer audacity, oddball humor, and the sheer spectacle of witnessing Hollywood excess at its most baffling.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where stealing priceless artefacts is just another day at the office, legendary cat burglar Hudson Hawk is fresh out of prison and ready to go straight, until he's blackmailed into pulling off the heist of a lifetime. With his loyal partner Tommy Five-Tone by his side, Hawk must dodge ruthless criminals, corrupt CIA agents, and a deranged billionaire couple who want him to steal Leonardo da Vinci's secret alchemy machine. From the rooftops of Rome to high-speed chases and over-the-top action, Hudson Hawk sings, cracks wise, and fights for his life in a high-stakes adventure where the only thing more dangerous than the mission... is surviving it.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

Vuelve nuestro programa dedicado a rescatar películas un poco más olvidadas. En esta ocasión os traemos uno de los grandes fracasos de la carrera de Bruce Willis, y no es una de esas pelis de última hornada de 1 millón por solo aparecer en el cartel. Nos referimos a una propuesta muy personal del actor que en plenos años 90, cuando era uno de los actores mejor pagados, se pegó un morrazo en taquilla. El gran halcón fue una película incomprendida, mal vendida o directamente mala, cualquier apelativo puede servir según quien lo pronuncie. Pero para nosotros tiene algo especial, llámalo nostalgia si quieres. En este episodio os vamos a hablar sobre su complicada producción (puede que para muchos más interesante incluso que la propia película), y por supuesto repasaremos la trama de esta historia de un ladrón obligado a robar con un sentido del humor muy particular. Salva Vargas se enfrenta solo a las chocolatinas de Kaplan, los Mayflowers e incluso a los ingenios de Da Vinci. ¿Será capaz de tomarse un capuccino?

On this BONUS episode, Phillip and Chip talk about one of their favorite movies. This was an episode of their old podcast My Celluloid Heart Podcast which aired on May 12th 2021. This is not quite a Tarantino liked or recommended movie, but it is Tarantino adjacent. It was their 100th episode. They start the show by making corrections to the last episode. Then Phillip tells a story about how he planned a robbery like Hudson Hawk back around the time that this movie came out, but never pulled it off because he couldn't figure out what song to sing. Haha. Then they dive into the 1991 Bruce Willis passion project that is Hudson Hawk. They read listener opinions on what they think of the movie and they sprinkle in some facts about the movie throughout. This movie may not be everyone's favorite, but Phillip and Chip like it a lot. Hope you enjoy.
Hudson Hawk arrived on TADPOG shores…hauled to from from the lowest depths by our very own Wizened Sage Ian.

n this episode, the hosts review the movie Hudson Hawk. They discuss their first impressions of the film, the cast, and the director. They also talk about the production process and the challenges faced during filming. The hosts share their thoughts on the drink they tried during the episode and rate it. Overall, they find the movie to be a fun and enjoyable watch, despite its mixed reviews and box office disappointment. Hudson Hawk is a fun and goofy movie that combines action, comedy, and heist elements. The film features memorable characters, such as the Candy Bar crew and the over-the-top villains. The heist scenes, particularly the art house and codex sequences, are highlights of the movie. The singing sequence with swinging on a star is a joyful and entertaining moment. The film was marketed as an action movie, but it is more of a slapstick comedy with elements of spoof. The actors, including Bruce Willis and Sandra Bernhard, had a great time making the movie and their enjoyment shines through. Overall, Hudson Hawk is a silly but enjoyable film. Hudson Hawk is a dumb but enjoyable comedy that is ahead of its time. The movie is high-energy and filled with funny scenes. The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello is perfect, and the actors clearly had a great time making the film. While it may not be well-made or have the best acting, it succeeds in providing popcorn enjoyment and a fun, slapstick humor experience. The movie is meant to be enjoyed without overthinking it, and it delivers on that front.

This week, I'm honored to be joined by not one but two brilliant screenwriters, Larry Karaszewski & Daniel Waters. Larry Karaszewski & his writing/directing/producing partner Scott Alexander are best known for writing unusual true stories such as the films ED WOOD, THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, MAN ON THE MOON, AUTO FOCUS, BIG EYES, DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, & the hit television miniseries THE PEOPLE VS. OJ SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY. The team has won Emmys, Golden Globes, Producers, & Writers Guild Awards. Additionally, Larry is also a former Governor & Vice President of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. Born in Ohio & raised in Indiana, Daniel Waters is the Edgar award-winning screenwriter of the 1988 cult classic HEATHERS starring Winona Ryder & Christian Slater. Additionally, the man who wrote or co-wrote the films BATMAN RETURNS, HUDSON HAWK, THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE, DEMOLITION MAN, & more, he's also the writer-director of HAPPY CAMPERS & SEX & DEATH 101. Best friends & movie buddies since their teenage years in Indiana, in the fourth season of Watch With Jen, the two joined me to dissect the films of director Michael Ritchie, & this year, they're back to take us on another trip through the films of the 1970s, courtesy of actor Jan-Michael Vincent whose luscious blonde hair & laid back approach made him one of the most popular up-and-coming stars of the era. Although initially, we agreed on five films, including BUSTER & BILLIE, THE MECHANIC, WHITE LINE FEVER, THE WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETE, & VIGILANTE FORCE, Larry & Dan made it their mission to do as much extra credit as possible, watching everything from obscure TV movies like TRIBES & SANDCASTLES to bigger hits like HOOPER & more. Along the way, we discuss Dan's issues with JMV in the '70s & this dream (or nightmare) he had where I ruined the vibe of his party, Larry's decision to watch two JMV movies on the ceiling under laughing gas at the dentist, & much, much more. What can I say? This conversation is a journey - a rollicking, thoughtful, & very engaging journey - & you're sure to love it.Originally Posted on Patreon (8/20/24) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/110417546Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are again looking at some of the biggest flops and fiascos of film history, and this episode they're watching the infamous Bruce Willis comedy-caper "Hudson Hawk." It's a confused tonal mess of a movie and yet there is entertainment to be had because of the movie's wacky choices. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 416 includes: -R.I.P. Shelley Duvall, Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, and Shannon Doherty -Neil Gaiman is getting Me Too-ed and this one hurts. -Nate has seen three imaginary friends 2024 movies and gives you the roundup. -Ben hates "Longlegs" and thinks everyone must be faking their enjoyment. -The Flop Era -- "Hudson Hawk" (1991) -The guys discuss 1991's passion project for Bruno, a character he's been workshopping for a decade, in song, brought to confused life by the director of "Heathers" and with an all-star cast, each acting like they are in a different movie. It's bad, it's not funny, and it's crazy, but the guys practically recommend seeing it for those same reasons.
What happens when an actor gains too much celebrity? You get Hudson Hawk, a Bruce Willis vehicle that had just a little too much Bruce Willis in control. It's a perfect example of how not saying no to someone can make a movie so so so much worse.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about filmmakers! Not the films that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today, as a sort of B-Side to our own recent Bruce Willis B-Side episode, Dan speaks to screenwriter Daniel Waters about Hudson Hawk! And much, much, much more! Daniel and Dan talk about the overnight success of Heathers getting made, the overnight failure of Hudson Hawk, followed by the complicated reaction to Batman Returns. Oh, and what about the three seashells in Demolition Man? They also discuss Renny Harlin and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, that incredible Sandra Bullock performance, and his underseen directorial efforts (Happy Campers and Sex and Death 101). Questions asked and answered include: what happened to all of the individual style in screenplays? Why does everybody save the cat these days? Is there a reason there have been two different homages to Hudson Hawk in big 2024 blockbusters? Is writing a novel fun after spending three decades writing screenplays? Is Mark Waters' best film really Freaky Friday? Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.

Is 1991, Hudson Hawk the ultimate Marmite movie, or is it just a really (REALLY) bad movie that some cinematic masochists enjoy for reasons most folk will simply never understand. We discuss via the link in the bio.
Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about Bruce Willis, one of our great American movie stars. A man with perfect angles and a perfectly imperfect hairline. The man who spoke up for Seagram's Golden when nobody else would. It's wet and it's dry. Play that harmonica, Bruno! Our guest today is the great Jen Johans, host of the Watch With Jen podcast. Our B-Sides include In Country, Mortal Thoughts, Disney's The Kid, and Richard Donner's final film, 16 Blocks. We discuss Willis' early career, his propensity to try new things, and the sad and unfair dismissal of Hudson Hawk. We examine how his acting chops evolved throughout a very turbulent ‘90s decade, culminating in an incredible run of success birthed from a controversial, canceled movie called Broadway Brawler. There's a lot of love for the underrated crime comedy Bandits, that song he did with June Pointer (seek out the album The Return of Bruno and the companion “documentary” if you get a few free minutes today), and the lovely Robert Benton picture Nobody's Fool. And then there's that opening car chase in Striking Distance. Incredible work there. Oh, and that cameo in The Player.

Bruce Willis was at the height of his career in the early ‘90s, with Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder securing his spot in the action movie pantheon. However, a 1991 release threatened to derail this trajectory. The flop in question concerns a recently-paroled cat burglar who is swept up in an international conspiracy to steal the pieces of a gold-producing alchemy machine invented by Leonardo Da Vinci, a plot involving the mob, the CIA, two psychotic yuppies, and the Vatican! And Willis himself helped come up with the story! The film, chock full of absurdist humor, was marketed as an action flick on Willis's Die Hard reputation, but audiences - and critics - weren't having it. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, “A movie this unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop.” Despite earning a Razzie for Worst Film of the Year, the caper has attained something of a cult status based on frequent cable re-airings.

In this episode we're taking a look at the Bruce Willis comedy, Hudson Hawk, from 1991. Along the way Paul talks about his love of the Vatican, Colin laments the Tri-Star logo, and we manage to resurrect our "catchphrase". "Oh, the Pope warned me never to trust the CIA!"
Filibus (1915) / Hudson Hawk (1991) This week we're stealing with style as we play a game of cat and mouse with Mario Roncoroni's genderbending sky pirate and try to crack the Da Vinci code with Bruce Willis' singing burglar
Eddie Hawkins, aka “Hudson Hawk” (Bruce Willis), is the best cat burglar in the city! In the country! In the world? But, he's quit all that, or so he thinks. He's just been released from prison and is already being blackmailed back into another job involving alchemy and Da Vinci art. This fella just wants a cappuccino! Luckily, his pal Tommy “Five-Tone” (Danny Aiello) is there to accompany him on his peculiar heist and to sing a little bit of Bing Crosby and other hits – when there is or isn't time. Numerous covert and/or villainous groups want in on this hot crime! We have the eccentric Darwin (Richard E. Grant) and Minerva (Sandra Bernhard) Mayflower, The Candy Bars led by George Kaplan (James Coburn) and the Mario brothers! Who knew? Anna (Andie MacDowell) and her faith cannot fight off the magnetism she has for “Hawk.” She has her own secrets though. RTS will be wearing dusters and leaping from rooftop to rooftop within the shadows of the night. La-Mar and Collin will be hopscotching around with the Mayflowers – Jeremy has an early valentine for Minerva. Is this film part of your past? Will it be part of your future? “My name is Kit Kat. This is not a dream.”
One of the most notorious Heist films ever made -- but is it notoriously awful or actually kind of awesome?

Daniel and Harry are joined by Adam Mansbach, author of Golem of Brooklyn, to talk about the 1991 Bruce Willis film, Hudson Hawk.They explore themes of moral relativism, as it relates to sin and crime in the film, argue for Hawk's role as a Jewish stand-in left behind by an ever changing world, and make the case for the film's irreverent tone, arguing its intention and merit (and possible Jewishness) against the outsized criticism it has received.As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.Hudson Hawk on IMdBHudson Hawk TrailerAdam Mansbach LinksAdam's Book The Golem of Brooklyn Adam Mansbach on TwitterAdam Mansbach on InstagramConnect with Jews on Film online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

This week, I'm honored to be joined by not one but two brilliant screenwriters, Larry Karaszewski & Daniel Waters. Larry Karaszewski & his writing/directing/producing partner Scott Alexander are best known for writing unusual true stories such as the films ED WOOD, THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, MAN ON THE MOON, AUTO FOCUS, BIG EYES, DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, & the hit television miniseries THE PEOPLE VS. OJ SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY. The team has won Emmys, Golden Globes, Producers, & Writers Guild Awards. Additionally, Larry is also a former Governor & Vice President of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. Born in Ohio & raised in Indiana, Daniel Waters is the Edgar award-winning screenwriter of the 1988 cult classic HEATHERS starring Winona Ryder & Christian Slater. Additionally, the man who wrote or co-wrote the films BATMAN RETURNS, HUDSON HAWK, THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE, DEMOLITION MAN, & more, he's also the writer-director of HAPPY CAMPERS & SEX & DEATH 101.Dear friends & movie buddies since their teenage years in Indiana, in this witty & well-researched ninety-minute conversation, the two champion the incredible '70s run of filmmaker Michael Ritchie. Focusing on Ritchie's view of America in the films DOWNHILL RACER, PRIME CUT, THE CANDIDATE, SMILE, THE BAD NEWS BEARS, & SEMI-TOUGH, before his wildly uneven '80s era, this episode is a must for '70s film fans.
