Ho_Oly Shit!

get this motherfuckin' hobo with a shotgun off this motherfuckin' plane!!!!!!

pithy

I would like to see Hobo With a Shotgun.

looks like a troma movie

Looks and feels like a vintage John Carpenter movie, I think.

No it doesn't. It's Troma all the way.

"his teaser was first created as a sizzle reel for producers and distributors. It was designed to give everyone an idea of what Hobo would look, sound and feel like."
Makes me sad, want to see every scene in that played out.
Thought it had bit of an escape from ny feel (or possibly another tacky dystopian/post apoc film that I can't think of now) and that makes me happy.

holy fuck

This is starting to pick up some quite good reviews as well

oh wow it actually got made??

man 'hobo with a shotgun' is also the most fun title to say out of everything that's come out of the grindhouse mileu

anyone see it?

it's a Troma movie AND a Carpenter movie. it's all kinds of good, unclean fun.

Of all the neo-grindhouse flicks, this one feels the most like a lost movie from 30 years ago, for better and worse. (It's almost unrelentingly unpleasant, and the humor is generally not of the winking variety.) Some of the supporting performances are distractingly amateurish, but Hauer is as great as you'd expect. Admirably anarchic ending.

I'd like to see it - unpleasant, unclean and amateurish are all good things in my book.
And Rutger Hauer must be the icing on the blood-soaked cake.

Enh, I wound up leaving after 20 minutes. I got what the movie was trying to do but didn't think it did it well enough to hold my interest.

Some of this was revolting as hell.

Some of this was funny as hell.

Most of it was entertaining as hell, but in a way that makes you feel guilty.

Also, The Plague was one of the best things about this movie.

A friend went w/ me. A friend who sez she hates movie violence, but she loves Boondock Saints because it has redeeming qualities (wtf no it doesn't).

At the end, she indirectly insulted me and another friend's morals by saying the only people who could enjoy that must never have experienced real violence, and said the movie was unsettling for its realistic violence'.

Wtf there isn't ANYTHING realistic about the violence in this movie!

this was great

the gore was appropriately ott, loved that they really went for it with the blowtorch scene, was actively horrified by the weedwhacker climax & the "if life gives you razor blades," also lol @ totally contextless underwater creature

having been raised on legit exploitation movies that didn't get all grindhouse winky-face, this was really refreshing

fuck ironic distance

oh also the prostitute's speech about "THE STREETS ARE THEIR HOME" was kind of cool

really nice apartment for a gigolette

yea, and I think that was what turned some people off, in that they expected it to be a Machete-esque semi-farce.

i'm glad it wasn't. the ugliness was the most endearing part of it...there was still plenty of humor too, just not of the 'telegraphed bad one-liner' variety.

gigolette was hella attractive

they expected it to be a Machete-esque semi-farce.

right i mean i love grindhouse for what it is, but they kinda ruined the perception of actual grindhouse movies for a generation of ppl imo

Yeah, definitely.

I had a lot of love for the 'wink-nudge' genre in the last several years, but I think I've finally reached my saturation point with it, because it now seems to be an overused tool used by insecure filmmakers who are afraid to let their film stand on its own...

Today I discovered it's fun to sing "Hobo with a Shotgun" to the tune of Girlfriend in a Coma/

Is the entire movie in that queasy day-glo color scheme that's all over the trailer? Because that would be fucking awesome.

it is

yeah it looks like a VHS tape your older brother watched way too many times

my favorite line is still "they'll make comic books out of my hatecrimes".

Loved this. I love how it packs in so many great scenes, moments, bits of dialogue ("Woo-hoo, it's a beautiful day for a skate-rape!"). It has quite a high re-watchability factor. It isn't all one-note either, for all of the garish, cartoonish gross-out stuff, there are cute moments like Hobo's speech about bears ("they live in a magic circle... "), which is wonderful. But the mean stuff has a real Mad Max edge to it. It's the real deal, I think. It's good.

now I need to see it when I'm not with someone who is a complete hypocritical bore

finally watched it. Absolutely brilliant. Loved the palette, loved the dialogue, loved the gore. Wish I'd seen it at some midnight screening drunk and stoned though.

i also love this movie. btw the gigolette peeps were getting hot under the collar over is the daughter of the dude from trailer park boys that does an early cameo as guy with a manhole around his neck

Loved it - the tone was just right throughout and Hauer's performance is great great great

I hadn't slept in over 24 hours, but I think the movie math we came up with was along the lines of The Warriors plus Taxi Driver plus Escape From New York divided by Falling Down.

i'm going to wash this blood off with your blood

I... really hated this. got about halfway through and shut it off.

it's probably just me but this thing screamed TROMA and I've always hated troma movies.

Watching now.

YES

Welcome to Fuck Town.

Burn baby burn

That was something else. I've never seen anybody stab someone with her own ulna, so that was pretty cool.

Love this movie. Feel like I need to watch it again to wipe away the memory of Gentlemen Broncos. Ugh.

"Alright you fucking androids! My father's got something he wants you all to see.

And I swear, anybody looks away for even a second, I'll make them wish they were fucking aborted!"

One thing that annoyed me about this movie is we were teased a giant octopus fight and didn't get one.

Movies can't have everything dude.

Gotta watch this again soon, I love it. Did I mention it reminds me of Street Trash a bit?

Bad guy wearing ice skates is a dumb-brilliant idea IMO

This is way better than Troma shite because it's actually funny and commits to its premise.

Rutger Fucking Hauer, indeed. RIP to a real one.

change thread title to 'Rutger Hauer is a DEAD'

still ride for NIGHTHAWKS, which is better than its mediocre rep. Stallone was cool in that too. though the ending kinda sucked. Great in Soldier of Orange and Blade Runner and The Hitcher and in that Kylie Minogue video.

he is certainly the best thing about Verhoeven's Turkish Delight and maybe Spetters too

Stfu

RIP

You have to see him in Olmi's "Legend Of The Holy Drinker". He carries the film and it's fairly remarkable even when lapsing into some (gorgeously filmed) hokiness.

Hauer's death is bumming me out much more than I expected it would because he was a few years younger than my parents and now I can't stop wondering how much time I actually have left with my parents assuming we all go due to old age.

Yeah, same here. My dad's 78 -- his younger brother sadly already passed -- and my mom turns 75 later this year. The time will always be shorter than we want.

he’s the best thing about every verhoeven movie he’s in. soldier of orange!!!

yeah, same - when i read he died at 75 i immediately thought of my 70-year-old parents

Can anyone recommend any specific interviews?

I'm surprised how few of people's favorites I've actually heard of. Eureka, Blood Of Heroes, Blind Fury, Nighthawks and Eureka are entirely new to me. Didn't realize just how many films he played lead role in.

Kept wondering if he had moved entirely into low budget b-movies and television but there was Batman Begins, Valerian and this bizarre upcoming sequel (also featuring Jackie Chan and Arnie) to the awful Viy remake. I'm sure a lot of people are kicking themselves for not casting him when he was still around.

I could swear a ton of Japanese comics, animation and videogame character designs were based on him. Bryan Fury from Tekken is the only one that springs to mind.

Blind Fury is pretty lame, aside from the blind swordsman thing this is a completely generic action film of the era.
