Y’all in need of an armed transient fix? It’s your lucky day then, punk!
I’ve been hand delivering some pretty awesome if not entertaining behind-the-scenes V-Logs from the set of Jason Eisner’s HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, the Rutger Hauer starring send up to exploitation sleaze. Well I ain’t stopping today folks! We’ve just loaded two more shells into the barrel of grindhouse grime, so feel free to strap up a vest and get loose underneath!
We’ve broken down the deets on HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN before, but let’s reiterate for the uninitiated. Back in 2007 or so, as a result of garnering impressive internet buzz, Jason Eisner’s faux-trailer was selected for feature length adaptation. Here’s an official rundown:
[The film] tells the story of a vigilante homeless man who pulls into a new city and finds himself trapped in urban chaos, a city where crime rules and where the city’s crime boss reigns. Seeing an urban landscape filled with armed robbers, corrupt cops, abused prostitutes and even a pedophile Santa, the Hobo goes about bringing justice to the city the best way he knows how – with a 20-gauge shotgun. Mayhem ensues when he tries to make things better for the future generation. Street justice will indeed prevail.
Unbeatable, right? F*ckin-A!
The first clip below is entitled “Press Conference” and shows a profane old man spouting obscenities at a bunch of inept reporters and civilians. It’s worth a laugh or two.
Next is something called “The Rookie” in which a naive young cop, bright eyed and bushy tailed, explains how much he loves his new job, all the while unspeakable crime is taking place right behind him.
To keep tabs on all things HOBO, get familiar with the Official Site for the film, and be sure to check back here for more.
Hauer will be seen alongside hottie Christine Lakin (above) in a flick called LIFE’S A BEACH!
