    	Bunny ... ball ball!!
    
    
    	One of my favorites ... but then again, I like this sort of
    	stuff.  Comedic action movies, I guess they could be called.

    I must admit I kinda like this one too but then again I have a passion
    for the bizarre!There are some *really* funny bits in this.....

    Another thumbs up - one of the few movies I actually *own*...
    
    				- Jim

    I saw this with a friend of mine who was kinda expecting Die Hawk (love
    that :^}) and well - it was my turn to compromise so we rented this
    one.
    
    I ended up really liking it - for what it was.....I cringed a few times
    when Bruce broke out into song but I loved the new twist on "Lets
    syncronize our watches' by singing songs :^))))))
    
    It was definitly a comedy/adventure so I wouldn't put it in teh same
    genre as Die Hard, which I guess that was its problem - being compared
    to DH.  
    
    ....his quest for a great cup of capaccuino was a nice way to lighten
    the mood and give Bruce a chance to do what he does best - quick
    repartee and cute one-liners.

Jimbo, remember listening to these songs on the way up to Ottawa? Great 
stuff!!!  I also agree with the previous notes - once I realized how 
(intentionally) stupid the movie was, I loved it!

    	RE: Bruce's voice
    
    	I guess this isn't the best place to mention that I have both of
    	the "Bruno" albums, is it?

    Don't laugh the first bruno album went GOLD!. I just heard this on MTV
    the other day. I like this movie especially one of the lines,
    paraphrased "I'm going to torture you so long your gonna think it's a
    career"

    What made this movie for me were the villains.
    
    The candy bar gang, and Richard E. Grant were absolutely brilliant!!
    
    Dunno about dat dolphin scene, tho...
    
    (Mr Grant also shines in the unclassifyable 'Whitnail & I')
    
    Scott
    
    

    He's also kinda fun as the hero trying to chase down Julian Sands in
    Warlock.

    	And "L.A. Story":
    
    
    	"I like you ... you have a lot of verve."
    
    	"Verve?"

    And another Richard Grant flick
    
    	How to Get Ahead in Advertising - weird, but great!
    

    
    	I think I saw that ... care to post a VERY brief plot synopsis?
    
    	Thanks!!

    GTI...
    
    	( Mod - feel free to start a new topic, if you like )
    
    *very* minor spoiler for _How to Get Ahead in Advertising_
    
    
    	Man in advertising
    	Man get boil on shoulder
    	Boil grows at an alarming rate
    	Boil takes over Man
    
    Slightly larger spoiler ---
    
    	The most amusing part in the film, I thought was that the ad execs
    were marketing a boil cream, but were disappointed in sales, so they
    hype up a female singer, made her extremely popular even though she had
    boils on her face, which made boils very popular.  Until, the singer's
    complexion cleared up, and which point sales for their boil cream
    soared...  Whadda concept! :-)
    
    				Cheers,

    	Thanks!!  I'll have to look for that one.

    Back to Hudson Hawk....I'm glad I'm not the only one  who saw
    this and liked it....I thot it was stupid and hysterical in parts
    and I saw this at the theatre over 2 yrs ago!  I think I'll rent
    it  just to refresh my memory. I've always liked Bruce Willis and 
    I really think Striking Distance was the bomb.  Saw that and was
    very dissappointed. 

    
    Read the good reviews in here.  Like most Bruce Willis movies.  Like
    Danny Aiello.
    
    .... but, unfortunately, this ranks as one of the stupidest of all
    time.  I mean real bad.  Like "The 3 Amigos" or "The January Man"
    kind of bad.
    
    - Sean

    
    	Ummm, I liked "The Three Amigos" too.

    I thought "The Three Amigos" was very funny, too.  
    
    (How can anything with both Steve Martin and Martin Short be all bad?)
    :-)

    I take back what I said 456.16  about Striking Distance....I rented
    it (also saw it in the movies) and liked it better  on small screen
    I didn't like Sara Jessica Parker  I loved Bruce Willis..as always.... 
    it was better the second time around...
    
    Does that ever happen to YOU?  go to the movies..dislike what you saw
    ...rent it a while later  out of desperation  and end up liking it?
    no..i didn't think so.

    Yes.  With Disorganized Crime, which I saw in the theatres, founda  bit
    weak (although I didn't dislike it).  However, on repeated viewing on
    tape at home, I rather like it.  :)

    I happen to be home sick yesterday and caught this movie again.
    
    I do not know, maybe it was lack of sleep but it had me literally
    falling off my chair. Later last night it was on again (Movie 
    Channel both times) and I still laughed. A lot of swearing but
    for some reason I cut through and found the lines between Hudson
    and Tommie to very funny.
    
    The first time I saw this I did not take it seriously and I still do
    not but I almost taped. Oh well....
