details

• 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 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 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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Michael Ballhaus was the original Cinematographer on the project, but due to delays and overruns in principal photography he left the project and was replaced by Dante Spinotti.
  
  
• In the bar, Bruce Willis talks about "Reindeer-goat-cheese-pizza", which he also mentions in The Last Boy Scout (1991).
