Starring: The Wicked, Charming, Dutch Icon Rutger Hauer It was about time our own Rutger Hauer got to show off his great acting abilities in a role that made full use of his charm and zany nature rather than burying it someplace in a film. And yes, it's true that this…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJun 22, 2022Based on the fake Grindhouse trailer of the same name, Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun takes the simple concept and wraps it around some generic story points - a corrupt crime riddled town, dirty cops, a maniac criminal running the show, a hooker with a heart of gold…
Slig001Oct 30, 2017This was so much fun the first time I watched it. Second time too! Third time, not so much. I think I need to shelf this for a few years before I watch it again. See ya in a few years Hobo, I still appreciate you and I just want you to know: “It’s me, not you” ^Actual…

An homage to exploitation films starring Rutger Hauer as a shotgun totting tramp — that fits right in with 1987s 'Street Trash'. Also, it's the best thing to come outta Tarantino/Rodriguez's 'Grindhouse' double feature. That list is as follows: 1. 'Hobo with a Shotgun'. 2.…

19oldboy91Jun 9, 2013Hobo with a Shotgun is a pretty awful film. The dialogue is atrocious (see: anything that comes out of anybody's mouth), the whole thing is a tedious drag compared to the films it tries to emulate, and while some of the violence is legitimately disgusting, it feels more…

PT99Mar 22, 2021This was even more fun than I remembered!! There are parts where I feel really sad for the hobo and the girl. But for the most part this is just wacky mayhem that I enjoy every shot, squish, splat, saw, every millimetre of blood is GLORIOUS! Biggest laugh was the 'Burn baby…

I’m not turning on spoilers because this movie is 15 years old and people deserve to know what they’re getting into. I do give away a couple of moments, so if you don’t want that, stop reading. It wasn’t until about halfway through that I remembered why I queued it in the first place: it was…

CJ dislikedHobo with a ShotgunOmg, this was just crazy, over the top stupid. I can't believe I watched this, if you like completely over the top gore, horrible acting, cheesy dialog , this movie is for you. This is a Grindhouse, so expect the unexpected,😋

Societal decay and class war not so subtlety funneled through the lens of a joyfully gonzo grindhouse homage.

A continuous parade of slaughter.

It's a hyper-violent, self-conscious throwback, with the sickly plastic aroma of a tape that's been gathering dust in the corner of a video store since 1984.

There's a pomo twist to the whole overeager enterprise, in all its theoretical, film-school charm: Similar to 2010's Machete, the movie was born from a fake #8232; trailer commissioned by Grindhouse directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.
