* EnsembleDarkHorse: Mute henchman Kit-Kat is one of the movie's most beloved characters despite his supporting player status due to being a delightfully quirky PunchClockVillain played by a young Creator/DavidCaruso.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Every cappuccino machine seen in the movie -- a three foot tall bronze R2-D2 looking contraption. These days, most espresso machines are more bread-box sized affairs in a console orientation. The ones used in the film are of the vintage Bezzera/Pavone type.

* MagnificentBastard: [[RogueAgent George Kaplan]] is a charming [[UsefulNotes/CentralIntelligenceAgency CIA]] operative who works with the villainous Mayflower couple as their primary heavy-lifter. Having gotten the infamous master thief "Hudson Hawk" thrown into prison by manipulating him before the story's start, Kaplan further plays Hawk by gaining incriminating evidence and forcing him to be the Mayflower's pawn in stealing prized artifacts for them. Serving as [[OnlySaneMan the voice of reason to the Mayflowers' psychotic theatrics]], Kaplan ends up utterly trouncing Hawk in a physical fight despite his elderly age, and is only killed by a series of coincidences, leading to his death that he faces by merely bemoaning the loss of his pension.

* UncertainAudience: Ultimately, the film's downfall can be attributed to the marketing team trying to cater this film towards an audience it ultimately was never intended to directly cater to. The advertising and other marketing for the film gave off the impression that the film was going to be an action adventure type of story. In practice, the film was actually more of a comedy that parodies musicals, action adventure films, and spy flicks. And as a result, the audiences who came to see the film expecting an action adventure were left disappointed by the noticeable lack of action, critics were unfairly harsh towards the film (to the point it won the Worst Picture Razzy for 1991) due to it completely failing to deliver on what it had sold itself to be, and comedy audiences who might have been able to appreciate the film for what it actually was ultimately started dropping by to see the film too late to save it from its ultimate box office fate and current reputation due to having already been alienated by the misleading marketing.
