Hobo with a Shotgun
Hobo with a Shotgun is a 2011 Canadian exploitation action dark comedythriller film directed by Jason Eisener and written by John Davies, starring Rutger Hauer. It is based on the winning trailer of the same name from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguezs South by Southwest Grindhouse trailers contest.
The Hobo sees a lawnmower in a pawn shop. Wishing to buy it, he starts begging for change on a sidewalk. He sees a group of punks drag a homeless man into The Drakes night club. Ivan and Slick enter the building and he follows them in. Inside, the brothers, along with their henchmen, torture and kill homeless people in demented arcade style games. Slick begins harassing a boy named Otis, who owes him money. A prostitute named Abby attempts to intervene, angering Slick. Ivan snaps Otis arm. Slick then propositions the hooker, gets her outside, then prepares to kill her. The Hobo intervenes, knocks Slick unconscious and carries him to the police station.At the station, he learns of the police chiefs corruption and complicity with criminal activities. Ivan enters the station and, along with the chief, restrains the Hobo. Slick then joins the two, roughs up the Hobo and carves the word scum onto his chest. The Hobo is then thrown into a garbage bin. He stumbles across Abby, who takes him to her apartment and tends to his wounds. The next day, the Hobo goes to the amateur filmmaker seen earlier to make money. Upon completing a series of degrading acts, including chewing glass, he earns enough money to purchase the lawnmower. At the pawnshop, a trio of robbers enter and take a woman and her baby hostage. The Hobo grabs a shotgun from the shelf and kills the robbers. Realizing that Hope Town needs justice, he chooses the shotgun, which costs the same as the lawnmower. He buys the gun and kills dozens of criminals, including the filmmaker, a pimp, a coke lord and a pedophile dressed as Santa Claus. ........
