Trivia
Isabella Rossellini was originally cast as Anna Baragli, but when the movie was delayed because of scheduling issues, the part was re-cast with Maruschka Detmers. However, due to back problems, she had to leave after a few days of shooting, and was finally replaced with Andie MacDowell.

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.

Goofs
Hudson Hawk is given a brick of gold and a brick of lead while blindfolded, to demonstrate that they are indistinguishable by weight. Gold is 70% denser than lead, and the weight difference would be easily noticed. The gold brick would weigh about 30 pounds, but they handle it as if it weighs a couple of pounds. They also mention that gold and lead differ by one proton on the periodic table of elements. The difference is actually 3 protons and 7 neutrons.

Q
What are the differences between the British BBFC 15 Version and the Uncensored Version?
A
All British versions are missing a brief close-up scene showing Hawk breaking into a room, probably due to the fear of imitation. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
Q
Want to read more about the making of the movie?
A
Pick up a copy of co-star Richard E. Grant's book "With Nails: the film diaries of Richard E Grant". There's a section about Bruce Willis and Hudson Hawk.
