Hobo With A Shotgun

[MorallySound]

For those of you unaware, Hobo With A Shotgun, the faux trailer that won the Grindhouse trailer competition back during its original theatrical release has officially started production as of today for its feature length version!

Jason Eisner is directing, but get ready for who will be dishing out justice one shell at a time!

RUTGER FUCKIN' HAUER is playing the Hobo With A Shotgun!!!

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44707

Personally, I'm looking forward to this more so than the Machete feature.

[sumo8675309]

hell yea..im so there opening night

[fattyjoe37]

Back in '05 I thought we were going to have a Rutger resurgence after his great turns in Sin City and Batman Begins, but nothing much came after. I can't wait for him to be dishing out justice hobo-style!

[ekent]

Sounds interesting. Thanks for bringing this up, it brings back great memories of all those contest entries, I need to youtube some of those again. Good times.

[Bluenoser]

Oh god I'm slow. I glanced at a headline today, saw this was filming in town, but didn't associate it with Grindhouse. Knew it sounded familiar. Very cool

[Erick H.]

It could run as a double bill with his old film BLIND FURY !

Blind Fury is awesome. Never underestimate a blind dude with a cane. Great news about Hobo...next to Thanksgiving that was definitely my favorite trailer. Inspired casting with Hauer, too.

[DrHerbertWest]

HAUER! Awesome news. Just went from an "eh" feeling to "MUST WATCH!" in two seconds.

[Criswell]

Or a triple including salute the Jugger!

[hellraiser40]

there are 2 options : this could turn out to be one of the coolest things ever commited to celluloid... or it could turn out to be a total dud

let's hope it will turn out well

and somehow, i first thought i read 'Midget With A Shotgun' but a hobo will do fine too :p

[Erick H.]

Or a triple including salute the Jugger!

Ah,think I saw that as THE BLOOD OF HEROES,been a while !

[MorallySound]

The blog with daily updates is now live.

UPDATE: Straight from the blog! This is the greatest teaser ever! And only after 3 days of principle photography! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k8H20SBRFA Includes shots of Rutger as the Hobo!

[justbeforedawn]

that's hilarious.

when I saw Grindhouse opening night, one of the dudes in front of us went 'we should see THAT' and I face-palmed.

now I have to hunt those guys down and apologize...

[MorallySound]

UNRATED TEASER TRAILER! HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF FUCK! YESSSSS!

[sumo8675309]

:spit: me likey

[bigdaddyhorse]

Sweetness, I'm in!

[rhett]

Epic speech by Rutger. Can't wait for this!

[hellraiser40]

i'm waiting for judgement until i see this, needless to say that it has the potential to be a REAL 'instant cult film' but gaining that status is very delicate, so again, waiting until i see this

[Damage]

:eek: Hobo with a Shotgun is actually happening??

:banana: :banana: :banana:

This is just incredible! I'm totally stoked!!

BTW, I'm pretty disappointed to hear the old Hobo with a Shotgun trailer isn't going to be included on the upcoming Grindhouse Blu-ray. What's up with that? Hopefully it'll be included on the DVD/Blu-ray release of this film when it comes out. That trailer was easily my favourite of the bunch.

It is going to be included, just not with the movie, but as an extra.

This movie looks awesome by the way!

I stand corrected, thank you! :)

[Harry Warden]

Rutger Hauer is amazing. This will be a must see.

[Erick H.]

That's one angry Hobo !

[indiephantom]

Saw the rated teaser before Machete. I didn't realize this was happening. It explains why Hauer attended a screening of Blade Runner in Halifax last year. Pretty cool...the unrated trailer is now up on the blog site.

I thought initially this looks boring till I saw all that nice gore at the end of the preview.Looks good.

Jason Eisener's Hobo With a Shotgun made its worldwide debut at this years Sundance Film Festival on January 21st and today via their official Facebook page it has been officially revealed that Hobo With a Shotgun will hit Canadian theatres on March 25, 2011!

Unfortunately USA and Europe haven't been confirmed as of yet, but expect to see it sometime in April. I'm just stocked this is getting a theatrical run, hopefully it will in the USA as well as in Europe, I personally cannot wait for this.

If anything, the one-sheet for the film is suitably badass:

Other than Ginger Snaps II, I can't think of another time when it's paid off to be Canadian when going to the theater. Can't wait to support this!

[Erick H.]

HOBO is playing as part of the Actionfest at the Carolina Cinema in N.C. next month.They have a cool lineup,lots of Asian imports (a new Jackie Chan film),the British flick IRONCLAD,a retro screening of Charlie Sheen's THE WRAITH ,the new doc. MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED and a lot more.The website is up with the whole lineup.I'd love to go.

Same here. About four hours to go. :fire:

[MorallySound]

HOLY FUCK! Hobo with a Shotgun was absolutely batshit crazy! Offensively outrageous, ridiculously hyper-violent, and so over-the-top and dripping with sleaze and grue that you can't help but have a perverted smile across your face the entire runtime. Hobo delivers, and it shatters every exploitation expectation, and absolutely no one is safe from its carnage. Rutger Hauer chews up his scenes and is perfectly cast. Molly Dunsworth adds the right amount of warmth and humour as Abby, the hooker with the heart of gold, and every villain is (especially Drake and his two evil bastard sons) seedier than an early 80's NYC alleyway and pure evil.

Jason Eisener, John Davies, and Rob Cotterill pack the 80-something minute runtime so full of violence, sleaze, and insanity that Hobo with a Shotgun out grindhouses Planet Terror, Death Proof, and Machete combined! Sure, it's still not true grindhouse, but this is the faux-grindhouse flick that smashes its balls through the wall! Hilarious dialogue, outrages and inventive and gruesome-as-fuck gore, and a style that screams Argento meets Carpenter on a lower-budget (but that's a good thing).

And finally, Hobo also throws in a ton of awesome homages to everything from Argento's Phenomena to H.P. Lovecraft to Cannibal Holocaust to the Canadian cartoon classic The Raccoons! (which, trust me, has a bigger influence on the film than you'd think!)

Hobo with a Shotgun is a carnival of exploitation excess that firmly sticks its middle finger up to good taste and shatters every expectation the genre comes with. Fellow Canadians, see this in the theatre NOW! And for the rest of you Americans, I highly suggest you VOD this after April 1st and if you're lucky enough to catch it in the theatre in it's limited US release starting May 6th, do so! Likely it'll be released uncut, because there is absolutely no way, and Eisener leaves no room anyway, for anything to be cut out to even remotely come close to obtaining an R-rating!

[Horrorphilly]

May 27th at the RITZ BOURSE in PHILLY.Who's all going?


sean

[Mikey Horror]

Christ I can't wait to check this flick out!

[indiephantom]

:glasses: I'm with you MorallySound,

this is probably the best Canadian exploitation film of the contemporary era. It's the sleaziest since Gutterballs. It has the best lead performance of any recent mock-grindhouse flick. It's deliciously perverse and creates an extreme version of a grime-infested city that is clearly inspired by the worlds of early Troma and features like Combat Shock and Street Trash.

The audience I saw it with had a blast and there were groups of twentysomething chicks who absolutely loved it.

See it with someone you love...and for God's sake, yes, see this on the big screen. If you're Canadian and you're a fan of this kind of cinema; you have no excuse. It looks great, too.

[rhett]

Yeah, it was amazing. As awesomely fun and over-the-top as it is, it's Hauer's delicate, humanized performance that keeps the entire film grounded. Rather than hamming it up or playing for the back row, he gives his hobo nuance that's always endearing and often hilarious. He's understated, but brilliant, playing it like a drama than like the grindhouse movie he was paid for, and the film really benefits from it. Unlike the performers in Machete, which pretty much played with one eye since they were all so busy winking at the camera, Hauer is all serious with his crazy loon of a homeless man and as a result we can laugh at him because we believe he's actually that sincere and nuts, not because as an actor he wants us to. He's given lots of fun, intentionally hoakey dialogue, but the way he reads it with every wrinkle on his tattered face is a thing of compassionate brilliance. The bit where he talks to the babies (abridged in the trailer) is one of the best bits of social commentary I've seen in a film in ages, let alone a genre film. Molly Dunsworth was great as the hooker, too, and she has a great monologue herself, explaining how the streets are a hobo's home...and they have every right to keep it clean!

As a Canadian it sure was nice to see bits of canux culture imbedded within, whether it was the closing Raccoon's theme ("Run with us...we are free!"), George Stromboulopolis, death by ice skate or the trailer park boy, it certainly wasn't afraid to wear its heritage on its sleeve, which is refreshing, especially since it was made with Telefilm money (the same money that helped finance Shivers 36 years ago). It's Canadian, but the appeal is broad enough for everyone, and you guys are all going to love it. It's honest to goodness exploitation with heart. It doesn't try to be a grindhouse movie with scratches or jumps in the film, it simply just is, and in our era of tongue and cheek send-ups of everything nostalgic, it's refreshing just to see something quietly be itself, and to do it so well.

"You're crushin' my smokes!"

[maskull]

OK I just got back from seeing this and I am still grinning from ear to ear. Oh jeez I just enjoyed the hell out of it and so did the rest of the 20-30 people that were in the theater with me. Biggest laugh was when Strombo showed up.

There are some things in this movie that I said to myself "they won't dare do that" and they proceeded to do it and go a little farther. I mean seriously, Santa Clause???

The Plague were awesome (!!!!), The Drake was awesome, Gregory Smith was pretty much hilarious, and I totally fell in love with Abby, the hooker with the heart of gold. Rutger was just so cool...and quotable. Oh yeah, the car! The car was beautiful!

AND IT'S SO BLOODY!!!

Love the Canuck stuff thrown in too. It's not so much that it'll turn off the international audience, it's just a nice lil bonus for those of us from the land of ice and snow. I always loved that Racoons theme song and love those Canadian accents.

Should mention that one woman left about ten minutes into the movie. This movie is definitely not for everyone but I figure anyone that comes to this forum has a pretty good chance of loving it.

"You're going to ruin your skates"

[John Blythe]

My production company just completed a Canadian comedy/mockumentary film that actually featured cameos by both Jason Eisener and John Davies of Hobo with a Shotgun in it. So the filmmakers of our film are pretty excited about it!

I'm looking forward to seeing Hobo with a Shotgun hit the states this weekend. Rutger Hauer is great in just about anything!

[Damage]

This movie is THE BALLS! Two words: Fucking bloodbath! It's an Exploitation Godsend. Planet Terror and Death Proof and Machete all paid homage to Grindhouse cinema (and they are awesome movies) but they just felt too polished to fully jump all in. Hobo with a Shotgun on the other hand is totally scuzzy, scummy, maggotty trash. It just feels more authentic.

Love the Hobo! Hate the Drake!

[spawningblue]

Damn, I saw Suckerpunch and across from our room this was playing. Sounds like I should have saw this instead as Suckerpunch wasn't anything to write home about.

[Shannafey]

This is out??? Where's it playing???

[highclassrob]

It starts playing tomorrow on VUDU. You can get it on demand through your PS3, I know I will.

[dayglo]

As of now it's only running theatrically in Canada, I think it gets a US release in May.

[Suicide]

Cool, I just checked VUDU and you can get a free movie credit when you activate a new account. I'll be using that credit for this. I'll still see it theatrically if it plays near me, but I don't think it'll play near me.

[Damage]

Probably my favourite surreal moment in the film...
The Plague fighting an octopus in their secret lair! WTF?? That was awesome! Anyone else think The Plague should get a spin-off movie of their own?

Yeah I did a double take when I saw that. It was so unexpected!

I would love either a The Plague flick or at least something else in this universe that features them. I was curious with how things ended with The Plague in the movie.

The Plague could be director Jason Eisener's own version of Jay & Silent Bob and appear in every one of his movies. He could make a action-thriller, social-commentary-drama, romantic-comedy, whatever... As long as The Plague show up and kill someone, it's all good.

[shape22]

Hobo With A Shotgun is available on Comcast PPV as of today. I may check it out this weekend.

[Mortado]

Rented this on Comcast last night and loved every minute of it. I took advantage of the rental and watched it three times over the 24 hour rental period :)

[pwrslave]

This movie is exactly what I wanted it to be. Awesome! I wish it was a little longer though, left me wanting more!

[mcchrist]

This is like OLD-SCHOOL Troma, only darker. yeah, this movie is the tits.

[Shlockjock81]

‎This movie was one of the most relentlessly depraved, violent, politically incorrect, gritty, offensive, hyper kinetic, trash heaps of a film I've EVER seen. AND I LOVED EVERY FUCKING SECOND OF IT!!

I am so proud to be Canadian right now.

[shape22]

I really enjoyed this one too. And Hauer deserves a ton of credit. It would be easy for a semi washed-up name star to sink to the level of a production like this. But although just about everyone else shamelessly mugs the camera, he gives an extremely focused and committed performance. Most of his monologues are laughably hideous. But he delivers them with conviction. That really elevates Hobo With A Shotgun above similar Troma films.

If you like the trailer I don't think you'll be disappointed with the film.

[fceurich39]

walmart website list a july 5th for blu-ray,dvd and collector's edition dvd

[Alan]

I freaking loved this movie. I had vaguely high hopes but was also cautious because I find the whole Grindhouse thing a little too self-aware... But this was bang on the money. The soundtrack, Hauer's performance, the insane violence... So great.

DVD and Blu-ray announcement via DreadCentral: http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/44045/hobo-shotgun-blasts-its-way-home-video

[bloodthrill]

Did they say if the DVD/BLU will be R or unrated?

[MorallySound]

Did they say if the DVD/BLU will be R or unrated?

Likely unrated since it hasn't been rated by the MPAA as far as I'm aware. It did receive an 18A here in Canada with no cuts.

[tropical marsh]

Did they say if the DVD/BLU will be R or unrated?

The poster with the announcement says NOT RATED at the bottom corner. This is an immediate purchase on BD the day it's released!! :banana:

[Horrorphilly]

I just saw this today and was very pleased with it,I knew I was going to love it.Some of the scenes ventured on being bad taste and breaking taboo's.I would recommend you guys go see it.

[Erick H.]

It's finally playing in the D.C. area,got some screenings in Roanoke ,VA too.That's a long drive for me but I would love to catch it on the big screen.

[JGrendel]

This is a must have for my collection

[Dobby]

I keep forgetting to watch this. I'll watch it this week sometime. I really love the poster artwork just classic.

[hellraiser40]

watched this a couple of weeks ago

Rutger Hauer is fantastic and the main reason that this was, for me, a good amount of fun. also, this movie does not pull any punches

unfortunately, everybody else hams it up to an immense degree (especially the main bad guys, which makes them irritating beyond bearable amounts of irritating) and some of the dialogue doesn't feel that smart but juvenile and is utterly atrocious

2.5 stars on a scale of 5 but with just a little bit different approach this could have easily been 3 or even 4 stars

Just a heads up for those who are planning on buying the blu-ray. I found this at my local Best Buy today. Can't wait to watch it again. Love this flick!

[Suicide]

How much was it at Best Buy? I see on the site it's on sale at $17.99, but it's not supposed to come out until next week. Just wondering if that's the price it's at now because the $5 Off coupon Best Buy has right now would make that a pretty good deal.

It rang up full price @ $24.99, but I had a $5 coupon and some reward zone certificates so I wound up getting it for around 10 bucks.

[Erick H.]

I saw it a couple of weeks ago in North Carolina,huge screen,great presentation.While I appreciated the retro look of the film I just didn't think it was all that great.I enjoyed seeing Hauer in a lead role again and thought the leading lady was nice but it was just too hammy for my taste,over the top but not in a good way.I would have prefered something tougher (or funnier for that matter) rather than this,it has kind of a campy Troma vibe.It's gory and profane but to little effect.Not the worst film I've seen this year but still a disapointment.Just my opinion though,judge it for yourselves,your mileage may vary.

[ian]

I loved it. The Blu-ray (review (http://www.rockshockpop.com/forums/content.php?1638-Hobo-With-A-Shotgun)) is loaded with extras too, a very nice presentation from Magnolia.

[Damage]

I picked up the last Hobo with a Shotgun Blu-ray available from my local BestBuy last night. All the DVDs were gone too so hopefully this is a sign that it's selling well, thus encouraging more grindhouse titles to be released in the future. The DVD and Blu-ray are released by Alliance in Canada and the disc is packaged in a very cool pop-up slipcover similar to the Piranha Blu-ray released last year and also includes a bunch of lobbycard-styled postcards. I checked out the Jason Eisener & Rutger Hauer commentary and found it to be animated and a lot of fun to listen to. Overall, a very impressive release that comes highly recommended for all fans of the genre.

[rxfiend]

I picked up the BD at Wal-mart (was surprised they had it actually) and enjoyed the film. I haven't had time to check out the extras, but did watch that "Van Gore" trailer. I hope that turns into a film someday, the trailer got me interested.

Jason Eisener and Rob Cotterill hosted a contest much like the SXSW one they won for Grindhouse, and that was the fake trailer won chosen by them and some celebrity judges (Joe Dante and Brian Trenchard-Smith).

It still rings up on sale for $17.99 in store, and then with the $5 off coupon it comes out to just $12.99.

I picked it up earlier, and can't wait to watch it. Killer coverart!!

[JGrendel]

I picked this up today & I'm looking forward to watching it.

[The Tall Man]

Had some funny moments. Rutger was good in the lead. But as was mentioned before, this movie was too over the top. I struggled to finish watching it to be honest. If it wasn't for Rutger I would not have bothered getting to the ending. 3/10 at most.

[dave13]

according to dvdbeaver, there are some differences between the american and canadian releases. anybody know anything about that?

[spawningblue]

They must have got a screener or something as according to them it only has a commentary and the Shotgun mode and is missing all the rest of the extras.

I haven't opened my copy up yet but according to the back it includes all the same extras as the US release. Either that or the Canadian set is 2 discs!?

Also according to the back the ratio is 2:39:1 where as their review states 2:35:1. Not sure who is correct. The theatrical ratio was 2:39:1 and the US disc is at 2:41:1.

Can anyone that has actually opened/ watched their copy comment on this? I probably won't be able to check it out until the weekend.

Both releases have the exact same extras. Although the Canadian release doesn't have the digital copy (but who really uses those anyway). Also, not sure if the US release has the fold open pop-up cover or the postcards set.

I don't know about the US DVD release, but the US Blu-ray only has an embossed Slip Cover/O-Ring. It's not a pop-up cover with any postcards included.

Anyone seen this in Walmart? I want to pick it up, but haven't had a chance to stop by. Walmart's website says "Not sold in stores" on the listing for the movie. It's $15.96, which is a pretty good price for a brand new Blu-Ray flick. Wondering if I should just order online and have it sent Site to Store? Or has anyone seen it for the same price in a Walmart store?

If you have a local Best Buy store that has the Blu-ray in stock, just print out the $5 off coupon and you can grab it for just $12.99.

[russweiss]

Just finished watching the film and it reminded me of Troma.

[Criswell]

Well i finally saw it................ and i gotta say i was very disappointed. Too much cheap, juvenile humour indeed made it more like a Troma film than a real throwback ala Planet Terror or even Black Dynamite.

[CPT HOOK]

I blind bought this today. The mixed reviews have me curious, I didn't think it looked very good but I'm willing to give it a try.

than a real throwback ala Planet Terror

I felt just the opposite- Hobo with a Shotgun was much more a real throwback to grindhouse flicks than Planet Terror - In fact Death Proof was much more a real throwback then Planet Terror as well. I enjoyed all three though. But I do agree with the Troma comparison as well- it did make me think of Toxic Avenger at times.

[JGrendel]

I really like this cause it was an over the top popcorn movie that didn't take itself seriously but in a way that didn't seem like they were winking at the audience & padding themselves on the back for being clever while doing it.

[Workshed]

Finally, finally! caught this last night. "Depraved" is right! Wow, this was one brutal flick, but it was great. I wasn't as distracted by the ham-fisted acting as some of the posters in this thread and enjoyed most of it.

The scene near the end where Slick is slowly sawing the woman neck almost did me in, ha ha, but it was par for the gruesome course here. Loved the garish colors in this. It's not something I'll watch again but it was really fun. More Hauer is more films, please!

[kimboslice]

This film kicked all kinds of ass! This is how troma should be making films now

This is streaming on Netflix now. I'll be watching it soon!

I've seen all editions at Wal-Mart in upstate New York.
While it featured gore galore, it had very little else to sustain my interest. A little too over the top for my tastes and not something I'd ever watch again.

This is probably the best thing put to film in the last ten years or so. Way better than Rodriguez and Tarrantino's attempts at creating something like this. The John Carpenteresque music alone is worth the price of admission.
