Continuity mistake: In the castle, Bruce has blood on his arm all the way down to his hand. When he and Anna are flying down, there is much less blood that only reaches down to his elbow. (01:33:00)
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Michael Lehmann
Starring: Bruce Willis, Andie MacDowell, James Coburn, Danny Aiello
Minerva tells Hudson to put together the crystals; he does so but leaves out one little piece of crystal. Since the crystal is not properly put together, the gold making machine explodes, killing Darwin and Minerva. Hudson kills the knife-wielding butler and the annoying dog. The whole castle is falling apart and Hudson and Andie MacDowell escape in a Da Vinci glider contraption. After they land safely, she agrees to play Nintendo with Hudson, Tommy is still alive (there were air bags and sprinklers in the car) and Hudson finally drinks a cappuccino.

Trivia: The film was a passion project for Bruce Willis for nearly a decade before production. It was based on a character and concept he came up with, with the help of songwriter Robert Kraft. The concept was originally written to be the basis of a semi-comedic song, but Willis and Kraft loved the character so much, they decided to try and adapt it into a feature film. Willis' success with the "Die Hard" franchise gave him the power to get the film made. However, the passion project quickly turned into a nightmare, with creative clashes between Willis and director Michael Lehmann, extensive re-writes being done on-set, and a generally troubled shoot. It ended up being the only film project Bruce Willis received a writing credit for.
