"My name is Kit Kat. This is not a dream."
Here is the in-print (but hard to find outside of onine stores) soundtrack for the 1991 action/comedy "Hudson Hawk." After a dismal box-office outing, it became a cult hit on video and DVD, and yours truly is one of that following. Bruce Willis listened to a song that his musician friend Robert Kraft wrote and thought that it had the makings of a great movie theme, and thus they wrote a story around it. After the success of "Die Hard" Willis had the clout to get it made, and it had a turgid behind the scenes story, but we won't go into detail here.
The story concerns ex-cat burglar Eddie "Hudson Hawk" Hawkins (Willis), who, along with partner Tommy "Five-Tone" Messina (Danny Aiello), are balckmailed by a nutty pair of yuppies (Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard) into pulling a series of heists of DaVinci artifcats for a world domination plot. Also brought in to the mix are a rogue CIA team (James Coburn, David Caruso, Lorraine Toussaint, Don Harvey, Andrew Bryniarski) working for the yuppies, and a Vatican counter-espinoage agency in the form of nun and art expert Anna Baragli (Andie MacDowell), who becomes the Hawk's love interest.
The album kicks off with the theme, performed by Dr. John, the two heist numbers (Hawk and Tommy time their heists to songs, which they sing seperately but concurrently). This is followed with a sometimes serious, sometimes cartoony score by Michael Kamen and Robert Kraft, and two jazz numbers performed by Kraft.
The soundtrack is nice all around, and is worth getting. If the rights holder has a problem with me posting this, e-mail me and I will take it down. Simple as that.
Tracks:
1. Hudson Hawk Theme (performed by Dr. John)
2. Swinging on a Star (performed by Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello)
3. Side by Side (performed by Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello)
4. Leonardo
5. Welcome to Rome
6. Stealing the Codex
7. Igg and Ook
8. Cartoon Fight
9. The Gold Room
10. Hawk Swing (performed by Robert Kraft)
11. Hudson Hawk Theme (instrumental) (performed by Robert Kraft)
