Revealing mistake: Gratuitous car explosions are nothing new in action films ... but this time the ambulance explodes in mid-air before even hitting anything. (00:32:22)
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.
