Andie MacDowell and Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk

“Smug Hudson Hawk looks like a turkey,” said the Chicago Tribune on May 24, 1991 – the day that Hudson Hawk opened in the US. Bruce Willis’s comedy caper had been in the firing line since long before it hit cinemas. The accusation of turkey-faced smuggery was fuelled by months’ worth of damning set reports: constant rewrites as the film was shot; the leading lady being mysterious recast; Bruce Willis and producer Joel Silver – pumped up from the Die Hard 2 box office – ganging up on the director Michael Lehmann; and a budget which ballooned to a hefty $65 million – or up to $75 million according to some reports.
A reputation that includes a $90m box-office loss and the Razzies nominating it as one of the worst films of the decade, Hudson Hawk is far too creative, and far too charming to deserve this lambasting. It is not without faults and its silly, cartoonish tone, will turn many off. However, an inventively goofy screenplay, inspired direction and appropriately over-the-top performances from its cast, make it entirely undeserving of its infamous notoriety.
Set between New York and Rome, Eddie âHudson Hawkâ Hawkins (Willis) and his partner Tommy âFive-Toneâ (Danny Aiello) are a pair of wisecracking, music-loving cat burglars. They find themselves entangled in the malevolent plans of the billionaire Mayflowers (Grant and Sandra Bernhard) and the CIA (led by James Coburn), who are attempting to use a lost Leonardo DaVinci contraption to turn lead into gold.
