After Hawk is confronted by George Kaplan, his notebook is lifted by the henchwoman. She reads the list of items including 100 stamps. The next scene has Hawk riding the mail train to the Vatican. Ignoring the visible stamps on the side of the carton, there are at least 209 stamps on the top of the same carton. See more »

Much Better than Rumored...
1 October 1998 | by – See all my reviews

A movie that I've never understood the critics' response against. Yes, it's primarily a Bruce Willis ego-trip. Who cares? It's a _fun_ Bruce Willis ego-trip. He smirks, smartmouths, struts, sings, and strides through every scene. But he still doesn't manage to steal the thunder of Danny Aiello, James Coburn and his band of covert agents, and Sandra Bernhard and Richard Grant in a truly bizarre series of sequences as eccentric (to put it mildly) billionaires. Andie MacDowell doesn't make much of a romantic lead, but even she gets a goofball sequence when she starts speaking in Dolphin-ish.
