He gets a shotgun from the local pawn shop and goes on a killing spree. Without law and order, all manner of degeneracy runs rampant and the hobo finally sees enough. The hobo drifts into a town run by a psycho crime lord and his two just as crazy and sadistic sons who kill and torture at will. The story is exactly what the title promises. It must have really been a hit because, by 2010, a full-feature version started filming with Rutger Hauer starring as the titular hobo. You can see the contest-winning trailer below. The winner of the contest turned out to be for a then fake film called Hobo With A Shotgun and was shown in some parts of Canada. My favorite of the fake trailers was the fake slasher move Thanksgiving Day from Eli Roth. a couple of turned into real films later, Machete being one. Most were made by professional, known filmmakers. Between the two films, there was a series of fake trailers done in the “grindhouse” style. When the Grindhouse double feature of Planet Terror and Death Proof were about to be released, there was a promotional contest to help promote them. ![]() Hobo With A Shotgun is a sweet little 2011 action exploitation movie with a neat backstory.
