A project close to the heart of the star Bruce Willis. He gets a story credit along with playing the title character. Willis is Hudson Hawk a famous cat burglar who is forced to steal some crystals that were created by Leonardo da Vinci. The crystals will turn lead into gold. Into this mix is probably the scariest movie couple in this history of film, Darwin and Minerva Mayflower played by two very scary actors Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard. Throw in James Coburn as a rogue CIA agent and Andie MacDowell as an undercover nun working for the Vatican. Starting to get the picture?
Critics and the public hated the film when it came out but there is some very funny stuff here. Just the eccentric cast alone is worth a look. If you're looking for something different this may be it.
The film runs 100 minutes and was written by Steven De Souza and Daniel Waters. The film was such a disaster at the time that it did serious harm to the careers of Daniel Waters and director Michael Lehmann.
