Cinematic Excrement: Episode 117 - Hudson Hawk

[@JeffreyDeCristofaro]

I actually met Andie MacDowell at the Fine Arts Theatre in my hometown! At the time she was promoting a documentary about the horrifying effects of the civil conflict in the Congo during the 2000's (the details too graphic and depressing for me to describe here) and was showcasing it with the ticket sale proceeds going to aid refugees of the conflict. She's a really nice lady and has done charity work for other causes, including animal rescue!

I actually like Hudson Hawk, it's one of those films that is so strangely bad and ludicrous that it's actually enjoyable to watch. For your information "laser" or Light beam security systems do not exist. The technology to create them does, but they are so easy to fool that no one uses them. Mythbusters were able to fool some, they made themselves, with junk found around their workshop. Most high tech security systems, from TV and the Movies aren't used in everyday life as they are far too complicated and difficult to maintain. You would spend too much time and resources just keeping the conflicting systems running. Most security is still done with cameras (motion activated and continuous sweep), digital/key locks, security guards and freakishly thick walls and vaults.

The idea is that the times he's quoting will be how long it takes him and Tommy to sing the song mid-heist, considering how often they'll have to stop and be quiet to let a guard pass or whatever (as is evidenced in the heist scene).

I really like this movie.... then again not watched it in many many years.

[@akildukes7499]

I've still never seen this and I flip through my razzie guide at least once or twice a month. You're gonna love the next one though.

A review he doesn’t post that he doesn’t post at 1:00 am? I must be dreaming.

Whenever I see Richard E. Grant I always hear the line “damn photomat assholes” in my head.

It feels like they were taking a shot at doing a Johnny Dangerously style comedy and everything just fell painfully flat comedy wise. Hudson hawk is mostly memorable for its cringe moments where things go cartoony. That’s not a great thing.

I remember watching and rewatching Hudson Hawk fondly. I could do it now in a heartbeat. I don't think anyone would watch Backdraft now. Sic transit

Especially since the, "fire," looks more like lava, and, the film is pretty boring otherwise.

This Movie ended up exactly as intended and it's actually really good. I also bet a ton more people have watched/liked this movie since '91. Premiere week also had What About Bob playing, also a great flick.

[@mainstreetsaint36]

91, quite the year for movies.

The part where they jump of the building and then just end up back at the Mario's with no explanation on how they miraculously survived reminds me of a joke in The Simpsons episode "The Last Temptation Of Homer. Homer, Lenny, Carl and Charlie (does anyone remember Charlie?) play a prank on a worker which causes a radioactive Gas leak. They run to the emergency exit only to find that it's painted on and the gas consumes them and they collapses. The scene than cuts to Mr Burns's office where Charlie (Again does anyone remember Charlie?) is saying That he won't bore Mr Burns with details of there miraculous escape, but they need a proper emergency exit.

16:43: CSI David Caruso by-way-of Jim Carrey on late night television parody reference caught

[@OpinionsNoOneCaresAbout]

If you want to talk about historical problems...the movie starts in 1481 according to the narrator, then moves forward 500 years. Which would make it 1981. But there are references to Nintendo and MTV...

Sandra Bernhard was my first lesbian crush.

At the time of writing, there are apparently 100 Hudson Hawk fans in the world. Who knew?
