My first experience with Hudson Hawk was the horrible NES video game tie-in, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that I bothered watching the movie for the first time, and I was blown away. It’s easy to see why this was considered a historic box office bomb, bringing in $90 million worldwide and costing Tri-Star Pictures $90 million in total losses, because it’s nothing like any of Bruce Willis’s other films. What it is is the type of comedy you’ll never see made today.
Hudson Hawk would never, ever be made after the late 90s when studios stopped taking risks on broad, over-the-top comedies. Thankfully, it’s available today through Video on Demand via Amazon Prime, Google Play, AppleTV, and YouTube. Know what to expect, and enjoy Bruce Willis as you’ve never seen him before.
