Guess whats coming onto special edition DVD?



eek


Ok, i like this goofy film alot, but damn, i didn't know anyone else did?





Bunny, Ball Ball: A Hudson Hawk Anniversary DVD!
Posted May 16th 2006 6:02PM by Martha Fischer
Filed under: Action & Adventure, Comedy, Sony, Fandom, Home Entertainment

I can't believe that Hudson Hawk came out in 1991 -- it doesn't seem like it could possibly have been that long ago that I sat in a massive, dead-silent theater, trying to muffle my hysterical laughter in a sweatshirt so as not to get ejected from the place. Yes, life for all four of us Hudson Hawk fans has been hard since day one but now, finally, our devotion is being rewarded: Sony is releasing a 15th anniversary special edition DVD this summer. Woo hoo!

Though the DVD is STILL lacking a commentary track (Bruce, come on. You know no one is buying the movie apart from your mom and the handful of us who love it -- talk to us, man!), it does include welcome new transfer, as well as some deleted scenes and a couple of featurettes. I don't want to rave too much about the movie here (I'll save that for Guilty Pleasures), but suffice to say that you haters are missing out. No, really. You are.

Yeah, she is in it quite alot. Her and richard e grant are great in it (but then, richard e grant is good in anything)


Here is a massive review. I couldn't be arsed to read through it. But iam sure it hates it, but, considering its not meant to be taken seriously, sometimes i feel reviewers missed the point of this film

Now i beg WB to put Bruce's underated classic "the last boy scout" onto special Ed dvd. One of my all time favs.....


this is a love it or hate it film.

that ain't no kangeroo, its the dog from USA 94. Its to celebrate the world cup. And as that world cup was my first experience of it, i thought it would be cool to have it as an av for a while. Also, the official song to USA 94 was wonderful.

This is wonderfully bad. Classically awful. I must have the special edition.

I ain't bothered. I was shocked when someone replied. Especially someone like anx. I thought this would be the last film he'd want to see (if, as he stated, he only wants to watch it for sandra whats her name)

Very different sorta film, though this is still full of great one liners (just check on IMDB for some)

Of course it is a comedy, but its a bit loopy. With bruce and the great danny aiello singing through a couple of the action scenes.


"last boy scout" has one of the funniest scripts ever (funnier then pulp fiction i reckon), but that was a buddy film (a rather gloomy one mind). Its hard to describe "hudson hawk". Its very light hearted.

Sandra Bernhard is fantastic and totally hilarious in Hudson Hawk. I used to love this film, very underrated imo. It´s not perfect but it´s full of great moments.
