Ford Fairlane

[Crafty_Pat]

I'll chime in that this is one of my guilty pleasure movies.  I was of the generation that was in junior high when Dice was all the rage, and he had our 12 year-old hormonal-boy-brains in stitches.  It helps that Ford Fairlane has a lot of the same overproduced train wreck qualities that attracts me to Hudson Hawk, but with better comedy sense. 

I was just thinking the exact same thing! God, I love the Hawk. One of my favorite movies growing up (and probably one of my favorite movies of all time, actually - definitely in my Top 20)...

"Bunny! Ball Ball!" (thunk)

I can't help but chuckle every time I see that dog somersault out the castle window...

Hawk: [starting to cut a hole in the glass, looks at Tommy] I'd better make the hole bigger.
Tommy: Don't worry, bonehead. I'm wearing my girdle.

Tommy: We got about five minutes and change.
Hawk: 5:32. Swinging on a star.
Tommy: You know, they invented something when you were in. It's called a watch.

[Hawk is being dragged behind an ambulance]
Girl in passing car: Hey mister, are you going to die?

Hawk: The Vatican, robbing the freakin' Vatican. The nuns at St. Agnus predicted this.

George: Rome - I had my first bare-handed strangulation here. Communist politian. God, I miss Communism! The Red Threat? People were scared, the agency had respect, and I got laid every night.

Darwin: I'll torture you so slowly you'll think it's a career. I'll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom.
Hawk: Penny Joe Biarsky? I can get you an address on that.

It really was Bruce Willis at his prime. And that movie's more a live-action RPG campaign than nearly anything I've ever seen.

Would it show how much of a Hudson Hawk geek I was if I said that I have an MP3 of Willis and Aiello singing "Swinging On A Star" from the movie floating around on my hard drive? I've always wanted to make a Hudson Hawk homage Intruder character who times his or her intrusions by the length of a song just to see who got the reference

It's been a while since I last saw it. Now I definetely have to hunt down a copy of the Hudson Hawk.
Yes, I can order one from Amazon.uk, but hunting one down is more rewarding.

It is Willis in his prime and having fun.

"Ugh! Menthol."

David Caruso as Kit Kat was solid too.... James Coburn was no slouch either.

"It had the perfect amount of foam!"

Anyone for a chorus of "Side By Side"?

Colburn's character serves as a jumping point for something I'm working on.

"Sprinkler system set up in the back! Can you f-ing believe it?"

"Sprinkler system set up in the back! Can you f-ing believe it?"

"Yeah, that's what must have happened."

"Drink your coffee..."

Damn, it's been too long since I have seen that movie.

Nah... not that far back.
