[edit] Surreal

The movie's not surreal because of slapstick humor and a few cartoon sound effects. It's also surreal because 5-inch glass crystals hide inside 5mm thick book covers, and people are transported in boxes of packing peanuts. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 22:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

I think you mean, "It's surreal because...," not "It's also surreal because...," otherwise you're contradicting yourself. I agree and have changed the line to read, "The live action film makes heavy use of cartoon-style slapstick, including sound effects, which enhances the movie's signature surreal humour."

I think wikipedia makes use of the word surreal far to loosely, theres nothing even remotely surreal in Hudson Hawk.

[edit] Da Vinci Crystal Object

Could this object be considered a possible Phliosopher's Stone?Burbankjones 01:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)burbankjones

[edit] Reason for humor

This article does not mention the true reason for considering this movie humorous. Like Plan 9 from outer space, the reason to watch this film is to laugh at the movie and at the nonfiction farce that its cinematic production was, not with this film's on-screen fictional content. This film can be enjoyed as pure Schadenfreude at the nonfictional Mr. Willis's expense. —optikos 05:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not So

I absolutly love this film, it doesn't take itself too seriously. One of my all time favourites

[edit] Brucie's bald patch

Many years ago, when Amstrad Action reviewed the computer game, they said that Bruce had gotten very touchy about his developing bald patch, and had insisted that it be covered up in the film using computer graphics. Is there any truth to this, or were they having a laugh? Watching this film right now, I can see Bruce has no visible bald patch, so it's either true, or he didn't have a bald patch to begin with!!!

[edit] Stallone's Brother

When Hudson is speaking to Cesar Mario about the auction house job, he says that the instructions are 'easy enough for your brother to understand' - Some kind of reference to Sylvester Stallone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redback (talk • contribs) 14:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
