As one reviewer came close to commenting. This film is above crticism. To do so, bequeathes it a degree of status to which it is not entitled. In fact the only reason to watch it, besides the plethora of droolable vehicles on show is the undeniable pleasure to be had (assuming one is male...actually in THIS day and age, that is probably no longer a necessary requisite!) watching the professionally curvy Miss Janssen removing her skimpy black knickers for the purpose of inflaming the passions of her mechanic whom she has just erotically doused with what looks like seriously low-grade motor oil!Anyone notice Jerry Hall scowling alongside the Aston Martin DB3? The years haven't been overly kind so it would seem, since her walk-on slinkathon in furs with Rock icon Bryan Ferry at the latter end of his "Lets Stick Together" film clip! Mind you...a life with Jagger??? But I digress! Arquette can never be anything but the goof he is..the film has by necessity been dumbed down to accommodate his dubious talents here. EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS I suspect is as good as ever he's likely to get. Having said that...he alone is not responsible for the talentless end-product that masquerades here as passable entertainment. You're talking el-cheapo production values, first-time actors, a script by creatively bereft 8th graders and hammy directing. Regrettably its not bad enough to be notable or off-beat enough to be vaguely interesting. What it IS....is a home movie that neither Janssen or Arquette would want to include on their resume!

This is a funny movie starring David Arquette and Famke Janssen about stealing cars. They are not just trying to steal any car though. Their main objective is to obtain a car called the RPM that is supposed to be a car that runs without fuel. More than that I think it is simply to be about the antics that take place.This is one of those movies that isn't supposed to be picked apart and taken seriously. It has bad acting, effects, direction, etc. on purpose. It is made to be funny. Has anyone ever seen a movie from the decade called the 80's. By the way, this wasn't an inspiration for "Gone in 60 seconds". Gone in 60 seconds was a remake of the film Gone in 60 seconds (1970 i believe). That is also a film that is so bad that it is fun to watch.

David Arquette was pretty bad in this movie. He's a professional Car thief who was hired to steal a new model car along with some other tight cars. There's some bad cars in this movie and I really enjoyed it. There's some funny parts in this movie too. I believe this is one of his best movies. People should definitely watch it.

Simply awful. Bruce Willis was quoted as saying that every actor/actress needs a "Hudson Hawk" in their career. This was easily David Arquette's "Hudson Hawk". Dreadful story-line, very ordinary car chases, little drama, no suspense and no twist at the end.The Best bit of the movie was the credits. The Worst bit was the 91 minutes before the credits.Anyone interested in watching this movie take my advice, go for a 91 minute walk and save yourself the anguish of this movie.(Can someone send me the Director's Address, I want to bill them for the hire charge of this movie).
