I absolutely LOVED this movie when I was younger. I've watched it again recently and while I do have some nostalgia for it, I do NOT enjoy it nearly as much as I did as a kid. Still I think it is fun movie that is overlooked way too much.

This movie is so self aware that it's almost a crime... I love every minute of it. I know Bruce has gotten slammed as of late for making shit movies where he phones in the performances... and rightfully so... but he has also done fantastic work in a lot of great movies over the course of his career. That said... the "Swingin' on a Star" heist scene from this film is one of my personal favorites from his career!

This has quickly become my favorite movie review channel.

That doggy death scene STILL makes me laugh after all these years 🤣🤣🤣

I wore out my vhs of this in the 90's, not sure why people dislike it. Brilliant review as usual my man.

I still love this movie. It's light hearted and does not take itself seriously. A nice popcorn flick

When I was a kid I watched this movie dozens of times. I love this movie.

"CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT!" My thoughts when I saw Redeye was reviewing Hudson Hawk

I saw this movie in the cinema, and when it was released, I bought it on laser disc. I absolutely love this movie. The thing is, I never tried to take it seriously - I always assumed it was a spoof - a satire of action movies. Maybe some people need some chemical enhancement to reach the state in which I normally live, but I thought this was hilarious, and I laughed my way through the entire movie. Things like Tommy's ridiculous survival or Hawk never getting his 'effete European coffee' (before there was a Starbucks on every block) were meant to poke fun at other movies. After seeing reviews like yours, it really made me wonder if I'm reading too much into it, or if I was the only one who got the joke.

I unironically love this movie, 'what can I tell you, I'm the villain' Some of the jokes are pitch perfect for my sense of humour and still make me laugh out loud to this day, the weird use of swearing and violence, the weird nods to slap stick Looney Tunes cartoons, the overall weirdness of the entire film, intentional or not. Willis does have a knack for comedy timing imo and it's a shame he doesn't try more, y'know since atm he's doing any old shit for a pay cheque. Don't get me wrong, 'You Eddie Munster looking mf' this is not a perfect movie, what movie is? But one of the biggest problems it had was when it released they marketed it as an action movie to bring in that Die Hard crowd, which was a massive mistake. Had they marketed it correctly who knows, it would have probably still bombed due to it's weirdness and people wanting more Willis shooting people (which I think he still thinks is the case judging by his current batch of, I'll generously call, movies) but at least it would have drawn in the proper audience, y'know, those people who want to see what a comedy would look like if it was made by a hungover David Lynch. Never the less a great Willis movie to start your review train with ;)

Compared to today this is actually fantastic 😊 I enjoyed the film personally but I never saw it as serious 😜

I watched Hudson Hawk as a kid and thought it was brilliant. I've always meant to watch it again. After seeing this review, I'm now definitely gonna watch it. Bring on the garbage 🍿

I like to think of the last Boy Scout as the true sequel to die hard. Like he was blamed for the hostages that died and had to open a private detective office in la. I fucking love that movie. It’s so over the top and I like how Bruce is still just a normal guy who is incredibly bad ass at the same time.

how dare you this is a classic ! i watched this in theaters as a kid ..i dont know how i got there but i was there dammit and i had a good time .. hudson taught my growing child mind a lot of things during this movie ,how to pull of a heist ,some great old tunes and how to cuss like a sailor !

#1: I actually defend this movie for at least trying to be something unique. It's this weird hybrid of a heist film, cartoony slapstick, blow 'em up actioner, and buddy comedy. It defies classification in the same way it's script defies logic. In truth, I'd rather see a movie fail for trying to be unique than fail as a soulless, generic, paint-by-the-numbers straight-to-video cash grab...but I'm sure you'll be looking into Bruce Willis' later catalog soon enough. #2 Richard E. Grant is goddamn treasure in this movie.

I love this movie, have it on DVD somewhere 10/10.

I saw this in the theater with a family friend, we were the only two people there, the usher came in and thought we snuck in until we showed the tickets. I loved the movie then, it was perfect for my 15 year old brain... I'll never watch it again to preserve its greatness.

The doggy part makes me laugh every time! The special effect and line is so bad it’s good.

I remember watching this as Teen and I frickin loved it. I didn't tell anyone it was my dark secret. I watched recently and still love it. It's so bad that it's so good. I still crack up when Hawk throws the exact amount change for the toll.

Comment in advance of watching the reviwew: I unapolagetically love Hudson Hawk. It's goofy and stupid, it has many problems, but I just love it from start to finish. Now - let's see what I think AFTER the review :) Update: You're not wrong. It's a mess, it's badly written, and it can't decide what genre it wants to be - but I still love it. The weird transition when they jump off the museum after the first robbery is - as I recall - a result of post production/editing where something else was supposed to happen but they couldn't get it to work so just made a harsh jump cut. I suspect I just watched this at a time of my life when I was into weird stuff and it just imprinted on me. Arguably, the whole film is just about Hawk trying get a cappuchino - the whole Da Vinci stuff is just sub-plot ;)

Damn I loved this movie as a kid!!!

Hey man, this is a great channel. Keep up the awesome work. Here are some of my film recommendations that you might enjoy covering. 1) Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man 2) Showdown in Little Tokyo 3) Action Jackson Those are some of the most entertaining bad action movies imo.

Not even a passing mention for Frank Stallone? The injustice!

you just had to play the dog flying out of the window on repeat for people to see, i laughed so hard at that, i had tears coming out of my eyes

That montage made it painfully obvious that I need to watch all of Bruce Willis' movies

oh man i loved this movie when i was a young lad.

Hudson Hawk is an absolute comedic masterpiece from start to finish. This is why we had so many wooden straight- to- redbox Bruce Willis movies at the twilight of his career; because we don't deserve his best work.

This is my #1 guilty pleasure movie.

A great movie to show at the hat convention

No joke, this is the first RedEye review I’ve cried while laughing during. The others were funny, but this was SO funny. Thank you, RedEye. Enjoy the dog walk.

LMAO christ, that dogs brains just about got splattered by a tennis ball...thats hilarious...good review Redeye...keep that nostalgia train running buddy, these movies might as well be mental time-machines and I love it. Thanks again Redeye.

I liked this movie, as a oneshot. It sticks to its gimmick, it cheesy, corny, goofy and cartoonish, but it is original, focused, and simply mindless fun. And I don't care if it was ment to be anything else. I just like a good laugh. I'd watch this 10 times before even considering something like The Farce Awakens.

Just found your channel about 1 week ago. I haven't gone through all your videos but knocking them out. Had a straight laughing fit with the wife last night with your stuff. Great stuff, thank you.

That intro is amazing! Welcome to the channel, Bruno! I had totally forgotten he was in North, so...uh...thanks, uh...for that...?

Bruce Willis's UNCHARTED

I've somehow been completely unaware of this movie's existence until watching your video. This gets past that "so bad it's good" range and back into "bad" territory.😂

I’ve been binging your channel all day. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt. I. Am. Subbed!

I still enjoy this movie. Like you said, I view it as a live action cartoon with adult language and violence along with childlike humor and storytelling.

Your IT crowd usage is a great touch.

You deserve a minimum of 100K subs for sitting through this.

So glad KZfaq recommend your channel. First time I can ever say that. Knocking it out the park with your reviews!

This was golden. Thanks for the amazing review yet again.

Close to the films that Bruce do this days this is a masterpiece.

Sandra Bernhardt and Richard Grant had me cracking up in this flick. "Buffy.....ball ball." 😆

Glad to see so many fans of this unapologetically fun movie.

I loves this film , can't get enough of them constantly breaking into song 😆

Dude your sub count is rising!! was on 11k i think when i subbed a few weeks back well deserved 👏👏

I saw it in 91 when i was 11 years old. I remember it was pretty good for my taste back then.

I loved this movie growing up. Did everyone forget Bruce Willis started in comedy. Is it a great movie no but it’s fast paced and goofy action makes for a movie you don’t have think about to hard when you watch it.

Welcome to the party pal

I remember seeing this opening night in the theater as a 15 year old. Even then I remember thinking how bad it was. The musical handcuffs were fun. Then the dog being launched out of the window was the best part!

My dogg coming through with Hudson Hawk. I swear you review every movie I watched as a kid. I'm going to hit your patreon when I get home.

For what it's worth, I really laughed at the golden shower joke. And to me, for this movie, it seems somewhat fitting.

Allegedly the movie had songs in to try and launch Bruce's singing career. That dog scene is pure gold lol

I would love to see a team up now of Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis and other has-been action stars. We could call it Actually Expendable or Real Suicide Squad, cause all the fun would come out of seeing them actually get beat up.

That's a shame it doesn't get the credit I feel it deserves. One of my favorite campy movies with so many one liners!

I was very little when I saw this in the theater with my much older cousin. Telling me that this movie was going to be great. Right after the movie he apologized to me and got me pizza. But my young ass felt like I was king of the world. And didn’t even realize how bad it was till I watched it again at an older age where my brain wasn’t mush. Then I understood why my cousin said sorry. Much love to you red eye. I know this is a bad movie. But you had me go back to a time where life was more simple and for that I thank you.

Hudson Hawk: Or ... How I Learned to Mug for the Camera. Also: Andie McDowell ... because we couldn't find an actual block of wood.

This movie is a masterpiece.

I have to fight the urge to dislike this video. I absolutely love this movie. It's so absurd and unpredictable, I just...man, how can you not love this movie? This is a true cult classic. There's a bit in your review where you show the scene with Richard Grant manically thrusting his hips as his Goldfingeresque plot comes to fruition, and you're like "I can bear through this" and I'm like "That's one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie and 95% of why I like Grant as an actor." Also, Andie McDowell making dolphin noises is one of the funniest, most surreal things ever.

Theres another similiar movie like Hudson Hawk called HOLLOW POINT from 1996 and it has an all star cast with Thomas ian Griffith, Tia Carerra, John Lithgow and Donald Sutherland...just for the cast alone i think its worth the watch. As alway my friend, this is another awesome review

I found you watching a video that trashed Seagal. And now I am subscribed. All my faves are here. Cool.

This movie is a masterpiece. The plot is hilarious (it's a comedy after all), the Mayflowers are perfection and of course Andie MacDowell is just amazing. It is everything I want in a movie.

Something tells me that at the end, when Ol' Redeye said "I'm gonna wake my dog up and take her for a WALK" he looked right at her and she immediately woke up when she heard the magic word, thus his little laugh there

Hudson Hawk is a blast. Loved it then, still love it today

Well, couple things 1) I just suscribed. I love 90's and 80's action movies, I've been watching some of your reviews and I got a good chuckle out of them. Good job, mate. 2) Andie McDowell's dolphin screech might be the worst sound ever emitted by a human being. Not even Yoko Ono would be able to do that.

Hint for a review: Virtuosity (1995) with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington.

“The lines go from zero to nowhere…” - Roger Ebert. That had to hurt Willis’ ego!

Please tell me the “you’re” in “catching your mistakes” is a joke. If so, A tier. also I’m proud of you for saying escaped correctly.

As a child i watched this movie like 20 times and new every line by heart, now it has so much nostalgia value, that it is perfect for me ;)

That Laugh! Hudson Hawk is a Guilty Pleasure of Sillyness

LMFAO 😅 that Horcrux bit killed me

Oh dude! Are you going to start a new series with Bruce Willis!!!?? YESSSSS!! SOOOO MANY SHITTY MIOVIES TO CHOICE FROM! Sorry about the caps! Looking so forward to this....and yeah, best to leave DIE HARD alone. LUV UR CHANNEL!!!

"catching YOU'RE mistakes" lol, nice

HOLY SHIT HE SAID ESCAPE PROPERLY!

I love Hudson Hawk. Bruce looks class with his black fedora, earrings and overcoat... it's a fun movie...

I finally realized that the reason the audio sounds weird on the intro is because it has the popcorn noise from the second animation.

I had never seen this movie before because I heard it was terrible so often. It was so much fun to watch the cliff notes with your commentary. The LOTR moment killed me, so funny. The dog makes a great gif. Thanks for doing these they are so entertaining.

I liked this when I first saw it back in the early 90s, but thought it had a weird tone (Thanks to it being mis-sold). But now having seen it a bunch I appreciate it for its novelty and its looney tunes tone - I love it. (Maybe not Andie MacDowell?). But all the tiny little gags, the supporting characters, the weird cartoon sound effects. Love it! You say it lost 90 Million? Prett sure it cost a lot less than that. Ahh whatever. It bombed! If you want to pick on a film that uses songs for timing during then please do Baby Driver. (A film I do actively hate!) (Except maybe Jon Hamm) lols. Thanks again Red Eye. I have literally watched the lot of your back catalogue as of now and it's been a pleasure.. Congratulations sir. Looking forward to what's next! But if you did this and Road House.. please add Harely Davidson and the Marlboro Man to your liost. It may seem like torture... but the video result has to be worth it!

I loved this movie! It's got everything: action comedy great cast.

Stoked! Looking forward to some Brucey boy.

OHHHH, this is where I got the 'Wong number' joke from! This was the first VHS I got as a present, I would have been 12. Also, I can't hear the word 'bunny' without having to say 'ball-ball!' after it, so thanks Bruce for that for the last 30 years.

What in the holy fuck 😂😂😂I always thought this was a serious action movie from the poster,I had no idea,glad I saw this while I was stoned,great review

Funnily enough, there was a Hudson Hawk video game which wasn't too bad.

Yeah! Hudson Hawk! Thank you very much! This one hits the spot (again ;)

Debatably the most legitimate action star in Cinema.. several Top 5 ATG movies across multiple genres Best 80s Movie; Best Action Film; Best Sequel; Best Sci-Fi; Best Narrative Twist; Best Buddy Movie; etc etc

"What sets off the Metal Detectors first, the lead in your ass, or the shit in your brains?". That line has always bugged me, because it's nonsensical.

I loved this movie as a kid. I would sit and watch the whole thing no matter what scene i just so happened to start watching it. I haven't watched it lately, but I can still see why i enjoyed it as a kid. I don't think it deserves the bad rap it has received from critics.

Thanks for the E-scape^^

I "saw" this movie in the theaters. I used quotes because my girlfriend (at the time) and I were so instantly bored we spent the entire run time paying attention to, uh, each other. Years later I saw a review of it and didn't recognize anything. Looking back, I picked exactly the right movie for the occasion.

Speaking of Marky Mark... I grew up in New England and went to school with a cousin of Marky Mark, and during my senior year of high school in 1997 I asked my buddy what his cousin was working on currently, and he said he was making a movie called Boogie Nights. My 17 year old brain heard 'Boogie Knights' and asked 'what is that, some medival disco flick?'. And holy shit was I waaay off. WAY off.

Our boy finally learned how to say escape! 👌

dude this film looks amazing I really wanna watch it now

Is that Leslie Easterbrook that was Callahan in Police Academy?

To me this movie seems far more enjoyable than any future Seagull garbage.

Ive seen this movie a few times over the years and I always forget the entire thing shortly after. My mind refuses to acknowledge it exists.

I loved this movie as a kid. It was fast-paced with juvenile humor. The candy bars were awesome.

Cult classic! Come on man, Captain Bob’s steering wheel. Remember he walked in and no one knew where he got this thing?

This movie was hilarious, just under appreciated

glad to see Mitchell and Webb sneaks into otherrs suggested. The Last Dragon, this, Warlock, and Remo Williams made my childhood VHS collection, great review.
