Hudson Hawk | comment |
Hudson Hawk is a 1991 action comedy film directed by Michael Lehmann and starring Bruce Willis in the title role, with a supporting cast that includes Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, James Coburn, Richard E. Grant, and Sandra Bernhard.Gentleman Thief extraordinaire Eddie "Hudson Hawk" Hawkins has just gotten out of prison, and all he really wants is a cappuccino and an honest job. However, his parole officer has teamed up with two Italian brothers with the surname "Mario" to force him to do One Last Job that leads to a madcap series of capers that do all they can to defy summation.Before it's over, Eddie will hurtle down a freeway on a gurney, unknowingly flirt with a nun, burgle the Vatican with fifty dollars' worth of seemingly random items, discover Leonardo da Vinci's secret formula for turning lead into gold, battle candy-bar codenamed CIA agents (and one damned annoying crotch-biting dog), and if he survives all of this, then he can have his coffee.The film was made at a time when Bruce Willis was still making the transition from comedy roles like Moonlighting to his Action Hero typecasting. Older tropers experienced with the actor's pre-Die Hard career will know this means he mugs a lot and does just about anything for a laugh. And he still has hair (well, mostly ... reportedly, a significant part of why the film went over budget was that Willis insisted on CGI to hide his thinning hairline).It was William Conrad's final film appearance before his death in 1994. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Leonardo da Vinci's castle is a Chekhov's Armory. The opening with Leonardo's lab would make Tom Servo declare "Foreshadowing!" Tommy and Hawk's game of rattling off a song's playing time takes on a whole new meaning during the first robbery. There's a reason why we need to see the otherwise forgettable security guards taunting "Big Stan." "Bunny, ball ball!" The Pope's postal subway. | |

Artistic License – History | |
Hudson Hawk / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The horse Da Vinci made out of clay is the target of a heist in the film...but said horse shouldn't even exist, since it never got further than a clay model (a full-size one), and said model was destroyed in 1499 by French soldiers, who used it as a target for archery practice. Similarly, Leonardo's flying machine exists as a drawing only, not as an actual model (let alone functioning one). And unless it's a sophisticated joke, "Sforza" is the last name of the patron duke of Milan who funded the sculpture, not of the horse itself (which is referred to by art historians as, well, "Horse"). Also, the entire plot is centered around Da Vinci’s machine that somehow acts like the Philosopher’s Stone ... but Da Vinci wasn’t an alchemist and didn’t have a high opinion of the craft. | |

Disney Villain Death: Kaplan falls to his death along with the exploding limousine. Since he was in the backseat of the limo, so does Tommy, except it's subverted, thanks to Mayflower's preparedness - the backseat had airbags and a sprinkler system! The evil dog Bunny performed a Groin Attack on Eddie and went for Anna Baragli's throat. Eddie uses a tennis-ball-firing device to knock her out a window and she falls to her death. | |

Hudson Hawk / int_83856158 | comment |
They want to make the world currency market collapse by making so much gold that it turns all of the stuff into Worthless Yellow Rocks. That might have worked in, say, 1965. However, ever since Richard Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1971, no currency has any significant links whatsoever to gold, and making lots and lots of gold would only collapse the gold market - though the shockwaves from that will do a lot of damage. | |

Hudson Hawk / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: The "Da Vinci Codex" is a misnomer, as there are at least 5 codices of Da Vinci's. The one in the film is neither; it is a composite of two recognizable Da Vinci works: the Vitruvian Man on one side, which was never in a codex, and the Study on Muscles on the other, which are among the Windsor Folios. No such codex exists. Nor is there a Da Vinci codex in the Vatican Museum. | |

Reality Has No Subtitles The Distant Prologue takes place in Leonardo da Vinci's castle workshops during a day in his life. Plenty of Italian is spoken, along with a few other languages from other workers including English - mostly exclaiming surprise that the Bronze Machine is actually producing "GOLD!". None of it is subtitled. While Hudson is making a phone call in Italy, the operator speaks to him in Italian several times before turning him over to the AT&T overseas operator. None of her statements are translated. While Hudson is ordering food at a restaurant he speaks in Italian. At the end of the order he asks for some ketchup and the waiter walks away complaining about the uncultured American. None of their Italian dialogue is subtitled. | |

Rule of Three: Hudson takes on three heists. Subverted: Only two of Hudson's heists are with Tommy, thus only two capers have the "trademark" synchronized singing. Meanwhile, a fourth heist is done offscreen by Kaplan's crew. | |

No-Sell: Almond Joy is not afraid of Anna with a gun. Hudson is almost unfazeable. Butterfinger, when Minerva shoots him with the double crossbow. He looks mostly just confused. Confounded, she shoots him again, but he spits out a little blood, then walks out into the hallway to talk to Kaplan before finally collapsing. Butterfinger handles a fight with Hawk pretty well until the latter resorts to a Groin Attack. | |

Oh, Crap!: Eddie and Tommy when Almond Joy and Snickers inform them that they have 5 seconds to defuse the time bombs after their paralysis wears off and later when they realize that the time bomb on Snickers's forehead is about to explode. Kit Kat when he gets shot by the Mayflowers. Kaplan and Tommy have a collective moment of horror when they are about to be sent over the cliff along with the exploding limousine. Tommy makes it alive, while Kaplan doesn't. Eddie in the auction house, when he realizes he just accidentally called Anna a constipated warthog. Eddie again, while Anna is inspecting the fake Sforza and makes a face. | |

Eddie can't get an unadulterated cappuccino to save his life. At least, not until the very end. By that point, he's earned it. Tommy comes to prison to pick him up with a cappuccino in a take-away cup. Before he can have a taste, Tommy has to slam on the brakes, spilling the drink. At the Five-Tone, Eddie gets one bar-slid to him... only to have it shot out from under his nose by one of the Mario Brothers. After the auction-house job, Eddie decides to make one himself... and the machine shorts out. Eddie gets served one at Anna's place after their date... too bad it tastes too much like ethyl chlorate. | |

Shout-Out | |
Hudson Hawk / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The locks on the Mayflowers' electronic handcuffs play the ring tone from the Flint Phone in Our Man Flint. Considering James Coburn's in this one, not terribly inappropriate. George Kaplan is the non-existent spy in North By Northwest. Before drinking Anna's coffee with ethyl chloride, Hudson quotes Casablanca: Repeated references to "playing Nintendo." Which doubles as an awkward Double Entendre as having been in prison during its craze, Hudson doesn't know what it is, and assumes it's innuendo. On top of that, Hudson's first antagonists are Antony Mario and Cesar Mario — AKA, the Mario Brothers. The Pope is watching "Mister Ed." Dubbed in Italian. Hudson references "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" while rudely manhandling Minerva to push Darwin's buttons. When interrogating Anna, Darwin likens Hudson to a "well-hung Dudley Doright." In the same scene, Darwin calls a dolphin-calling Anna "Flipper." Hudson angrily calls Darwin an "Eddie Munster-looking motherfucker." Similarly, Gates refers to Alfred as, among many other things, as "Sebastian Cabot-looking." | |

Artistic License – Chemistry | |
Hudson Hawk / int_c94f1109 | comment |
Artistic License – Chemistry: Hudson Hawk is given a brick of gold and a brick of lead while blindfolded, to demonstrate that they are indistinguishable. 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. Minerva also states that gold and lead differ by one proton on the periodic table of elements. The difference is actually 3 protons not to mention 8 neutrons (on average). Perhaps most blatantly, gold is a far better heat sink than lead; Hawk should have noticed the lead brick warming in his hand almost instantly while the gold one stayed cold. | |

Indecisive Parody: Though the film was pitched as a parody of action and heist movies, the end product doesn't really specifically parody all that many tropes of these genres and just goes for a generally wacky and over-the-top approach, resulting in the few occasional bits of actual parody (such as the deliberately lame Bond One-Liner that Eddie gives after killing Alfred) feeling jarringly out of place. | |

Why Won't You Die? | |
Hudson Hawk / int_ecac4c42 | comment |
Why Won't You Die?: Butterfinger gets nailed in the chest by three arrows fired by Minerva, because the Mayflowers are double-crossing Kaplan and his reaction is to get out of the room to report to Kaplan before dying. While she doesn't say it out loud, Minerva's wide-eyed reaction at Butterfinger not keeling over dead instantly implies she was thinking this. | |

Camera Spoofing: The "play back old footage" version is used in the auction house robbery. Unfortunately, two of the guards just saw an overweight colleague break a chair, which shows up intact on the spoofed images and reveals the trick. | |

Running Gag | |
Hudson Hawk / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag Eddie can't get an unadulterated cappuccino to save his life. At least, not until the very end. By that point, he's earned it. Tommy comes to prison to pick him up with a cappuccino in a take-away cup. Before he can have a taste, Tommy has to slam on the brakes, spilling the drink. At the Five-Tone, Eddie gets one bar-slid to him... only to have it shot out from under his nose by one of the Mario Brothers. After the auction-house job, Eddie decides to make one himself... and the machine shorts out. Eddie gets served one at Anna's place after their date... too bad it tastes too much like ethyl chlorate. The Candy Bars and Kaplan always appear out of nowhere, unexpected and wearing whatever weird clothes they thought about, sometimes trying to fit in, sometimes definitely not. Kit Kat only "speaks" via pre-printed cards. He also often dresses as the other characters; once as Hudson, once as Anna, and he also disguised himself as a living statue in the castle. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
Hudson Hawk / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: The Mayflowers' plan has this by the bucketful. They want to make the world currency market collapse by making so much gold that it turns all of the stuff into Worthless Yellow Rocks. That might have worked in, say, 1965. However, ever since Richard Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1971, no currency has any significant links whatsoever to gold, and making lots and lots of gold would only collapse the gold market - though the shockwaves from that will do a lot of damage. The idea that their own fortune would be unaffected also falls short especially in that light; they're basically planning on causing an economic apocalypse, and they're investing in non-gold stocks instead of canned food and shotguns. They aren't even doing the "smart" financial move if you know that the price of a commodity is about to drop sharply, i.e. trying to short that commodity (in this case, gold). There's some implications that "most of" their fortune is in physical commodities and properties whose relative value would be unchanged... Which doesn't explain how they can throw around money like it's already worthless pieces of paper. | |
