Many filmmakers tried to copy Hawks this comes closer - the camraderie, sense of adventure, ensemble feel, the quips. It's not a white saviour movie at all - Kurt Russell is more a trickster character like Captain Jack Sparrow. The real hero is Dennis Dunn.
A lovely motley crew of characters - Kim Cattrall's wisecracking lawyer, Kate Burton's wisecracking journo, than random other Chinese guy, Victor Wong. Great line up of villains.
Action, humour, silliness, fun. When I was 13 I thought it was perfect and it's still a mystery why it didn't make money.
