Following Jason Eisener Through Fuck Town

That is a picture of Rutger Hauer and Jason Eisener.  Mr. Eisener directed Hobo with a Shotgun and you should follow him on Tumblr.  For serious.  He posts all kinds of behind the scenes shit from Hobo with a Shotgun, independent Canadian stuff and Hobo related short films like "Robo with a Shotgun," as well as all kinds of goodies from the glory days of exploitation cinema.  It's like a goddamn grindhouse circus!

It's called "Welcome to Fuck Town" and you should go there because Fuck Town is a land of magic and wonder.  Or you can find him on Facebook.

Here are a couple of those goodies I was talking about:

Welcome to Fuck Town

I Love You Filthy Hobo

By now everyone is probably familiar with the Canuxploitation throwback Hobo with a Shotgun, but if after watching it you found yourself thinking - Gee, that was pretty awesome but I haven't quite had my fill of hobo-based cinema.  Well, head on over to Holy Taco to see a list of 24 other movies featuring drifters who were born to walk alone...  Now I have that Whitesnake song in my head again.

Anyway, one of them has Charles Bronson and one has Gerald McRaney and both are complete badasses.  I haven't seen the McRaney one and it looks like a Christmas movie so I'm guessing he destroys anyone who gets in Santa's way.  I may be wrong about that.

And for all the Canadians, here's a video of another famous hobo from the Great White North.  Although, this one doesn't carry a shotgun.  Canucks really seem to like their hobos.

Hobo With A Shotgun is out on DVD and Blu-ray

If you didn't know already, Hobo with a Shotgun is out on DVD and Blu-ray so go pick up a copy, grab a few beers and watch some gory canuxploitation goodness.  It is glorious.

A train pulls into the station – it’s the end of the line. A hobo jumps from a freight car hoping for a fresh start in a new city. Instead, he finds himself trapped in an urban hell. This is a world where criminals rule the streets and Drake, the city’s crime boss, reigns supreme alongside his sadistic murderous sons, Slick & Ivan. Amidst the chaos, the hobo comes across a pawn shop window displaying a secondhand lawn mower. He dreams of making the city a beautiful place and starting a new life for himself. But as the brutality continues to rage around him, he notices a shotgun hanging above the lawn mower... Quickly, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this town is with that gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber...

Hobo with a Shotgun

It seems there is a Canadian addition to the lineup of new "grindhouse" films.  Originally conceived and shot as a fake trailer for the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double bill Grindhouse, Hobo with a Shotgun has been made into a full length feature film starring a grizzled Rutger Hauer.  It's nice to see some modern Canuxploitation.

About four years ago I had a dream that Rutger Hauer was a prison warden and he gave me two nickel plated .45s to stop inmates from escaping under the fence of the prison.  I don't know what that means...

Anyways, the movie comes out this spring.  Can't wait!

Below is the original fake trailer and the trailer for the upcoming film.
