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. Written by Greg Guy

Trivia

David Brunt, who played the Hobo in the original Grindhouse trailer, appears as a shotgun-wielding dirty cop in the scene where the cops go out to hunt down the hobos. He screams, "We're all dirty cops!" He was offered the chance to reprise his role as the Hobo for the film, but was hesitant about it, believing he would not be able to carry an entire movie on his own. Rutger Hauer was then cast, when Brunt turned down the role. See more »

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. See more »

The writers must have had a (shotgun) blast making this manuscript!
27 June 2011 | by (Porsgrunn, Norway) – See all my reviews

Dialogue:

"You can't save the world with a shotgun." "It's the only thing I know."

The writers must have had a (shotgun) blast making this manuscript!

Hehe... this was a breath of "fresh" air. Not been too many splatter movies out lately and this one didn't intend to be more than it was either.

Glad to see one of the cool actors from the 80's back.

I guess with The Hitcher and now this, Rutger Hauer has gone full circle!
