As far as cult movies go "Rocky Horror" has it's even more underground sequel of "Shock Treatment"....so why can't there be an even more insane heist of this new century? Bruce is still fit enough to get this job done beautifully!! If all the true die hard (all puns intended) Bruce fans start an online commontion about a possible sequel maybe we can get one started!!!
shareSounds good to me. You'd have to get back Danny Aiello and Andy McDowell, of course.
Here's hoping...
maybe this time we will finally see Andi McDowell nude.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
There was an interview with Bruce Willis, where he was asked what he would do if he could travel back in time. He replied that he'd go back to five minutes before he signed the contract for 'Hudson Hawk'. I think that's an indication that he'd think twice before signing up for 'Hudson Hawk II'...
shareplease don't! it would be even worse than the first one!
sharefrom what I've read in interviews, Bruce Willis regrets making this movie and hates it. So I wouldn't hold your breath for a sequel.
shareA sequel could use Aiello again but it does not need MacDowell again. It could be someone like Eva Green or Eva Mendes this time around. This time, Hawk and partner have to break into the Taj Mahal or the Forbidden City or some such nonsense. Gonna be awfully hard to top the SWINGIN' ON A STAR number, though.
shareI'm all for it! I just thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the film on DVD, and thought this was a refreshingly funny film. We need more films like this! Whoever gives this film a bad rap hasn't enjoyed watching a film before, obviously. FuturePrimitive666.

Well you know, since you already invoked "Shock Treatment", that illustrious sequel had none of the cast of the first film. So theoretically someone could put together a Hudson Hawk sequel that had the same mind-bogglingly dumb atmosphere with none of the original perpetrators. I personally think it would need to be set in the early 1990's, though, as one of my strongest memories of the movie was what a product of it's era it was.
share"Well you know, since you already invoked "Shock Treatment", that illustrious sequel had none of the cast of the first film."
Actually, if you take just a quick glance at the cast list for Shock Treatment, you'll find at least three of the main cast of RHPS.
I would definitely want to see the sequel with the same type of humour a lot of people don't get.
shareI like to think that since the film begins with Hawk leaving prison, and George Kaplan had mentioned that he was the one that set him up on that heist job on a government facility that landed him there, there might be plans for a prequel that never got made, which describes Hawk's early years and his friendship with Tommy Five-Tone, with Hawk building up his reputation as a catburglar until he was blackmailed by Kaplan into commiting a heist on a government facility that would probably be his crowning achievement, but was actually a set-up that landed Hawk in prison.
