Storyline

A vigilante homeless man 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.

Goofs

Where Slick is about to saw at Abby's neck, the blade on his saw is quite shiny and obviously real, in the next shot when he holds the blade to her neck the blade is quite dull and flexes obviously, as it is made of rubber.

All he wanted was a lawn mower!

The story of a homeless man who arrives in a new town overran with crime and batman like super villains. All he wanted was a lawn mower! He intercepts an armed robbery and suddenly decides to become a homeless vigilante- a hobo with a shotgun! Terrible acting from everyone but the legendary Hauer and some insanely over the top blood, guts and gore make this a fantastically silly but fun film to watch. Very much a B movie in every way which does not take itself too seriously. Great fun- but not for the easily offended. Our hero is never even given a name in true video nasty style. I am a huge fan of what in the UK we call the video nasty generation and I am delighted that these films I grew up with are being homaged and remade etc now. This isn't as classy or intelligent as the Rodriguez/Tarantino team up Grindhouse (Planet Terror and Death Proof) but still in the same vein and if you enjoyed those you will love this.
