Rutger Hauer Goes Travis Bickle on Scumbags in ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’

A gleefully gory and just plain fucked up trailer for newcomer Jason Eisener’s eagerly anticipated bloodbath actioner Hobo with a Shotgun has hit the web. The film stars iconic mofo Rutger Hauer as a homeless Travis Bickle-type out to wash the trash off the sidewalk with some buckshot.

Take a look, scumbags:

The film’s synopsis reads:

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.

Like Robert Rodriguez’s Machete, Hobo with a Shotgun was first produced as a faux-trailer in 2007 by Eisener for a SXSW competition held to promote Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s collaborate effort Grindhouse.
