My DaVinci Historic Art and Science society disapproves of your disapproval. Next thing, you're going to say that the hidden messages in the Last Supper are just some nonsense, when it was obvious from the Tom Hanks documentary "The DaVinci Code," that it is totes real.
Also, 4th wall breaking is the industry standard, as well as sword arms and Andi MacDowell in her marketable years.
Yes this post makes little sense. Because the Hudson Hawk.

Last Boyscout and Hudson Hawk are my two favorite Willis films.
The Last Boy Scout was pretty awesome.
The Fifth Element is one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies.
Overall, I approve of Bruce Willis. But Hudson Hawk, egads. Maybe the real problem was Sandra Bernhardt. Also, the scene where Willis and Aiello sing "Would You Like to Swing on a Star" gave me PTSD of some sort and ruined that song for me.

Last Boy Scout, definitely. Fifth Element (for it's campy weirdness, it's like Flash 'Aaaaa!' Gordon for the next generation), Red and Die Hard, too.
For me, Hudson Hawk is somewhere under Die Hard 3: Just Please Die Already, and his MTV 'Return of Bruno' mockumentary thing.

I actually particularly enjoyed that moment.

There is more originality and fun in Hudson Hawk than in all of Michael Bay's Transformers films combined.
That is kinda of like saying there is more originality and fun in Quills or Schindler's List than all of of Michael Bay's Transformers films combined.
Note: Quills and Schindler's are very good movies...it is just not fun...

So THAT explains the delay in XCOM 2 coming out.

20+ years ago, my brother kept raving about Hudson Hawk, so I sat down and watched it.
Me: "WTF? That movie sucked!"
Him: "Obviously you didn't drink nearly enough, then. Try it again, correctly this time!"
Me (2 weeks later): "Dude, that movie was awesome!"
So, yeah, it's both terrible and excellent, depending on your BAC. (Not sure it would still work, but in the early '90s it was on cable every week, so it was an easy experiment to make.)

5th element has:
Cool aliens
Great music
A neat villain
An awesome opera performance
Brilliant scenery inspired by Valerian and Laureline
Bruce Willis
Some sexy outfits, particularly the underboob one
Some very neat details like the all-filter cig
It also has, sadly:
A stupid elements puzzle
Ruby Rhod
Nobody interacting with the villain
Bizarre fake language/gobbledigook
Milla Jovovich
Leeloo Dallas multipass
Milla Jovovich
All in all, I consider it more a good movie than a horrible one.
