Hudson Hawk
Cast: Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, James Coburn, Richard E. Grant, Sandra Bernhard, David Caruso, Frank Stallone, etc.
Synopsis: The story, co-written by Willis, concerns a cat burglar pressured into stealing precious art, including some from the Vatican.
Trivia:
The tones that the handcuffs make are the same as the tones used in Our Man Flint (1966) and In Like Flint (1967) for the telephones. James Coburn appears in all three movies.
Coburn plays "George Kaplan", which is the name of the fake agent from North by Northwest (1959).
Igg and Ook both mutter their own names as their last words.
'Bruce Willis (I)' says, "Directions even your brother can understand," to co-star Frank Stallone. On the script, this jab is directed at the character of Antony Mario, but it doubles as an off-screen jab at Frank Stallone's real brother Sylvester Stallone.
Nintendo humor abounds in this movie. "New Jersey's third-largest crime family" is known as the Mario Brothers. Additionally, Hudson Hawk has been in prison so long he does not know what a Nintendo is.
In the bar, Bruce Willis talks about "Reindeer-goat-cheese-pizza", which he also mentions in The Last Boy Scout (1991).

I had to post the Hawk.
I already know there are some on here that can't stand this film, but I really like it. I've seen it several times and still find it pretty funny. Is it ridiculous? Over the top? Yes, but it's supposed to be. It's just a fun movie with a semi-cult following.
