Trailer: Hobo With A Shotgun

Guns, tramps, blood. Just another Friday night.

Let's say, hypothetically, you were in a horrendous car crash in 1985. You survived, but you fell into a deep coma and were fed liquidised vegetables through a tube by tearful members of your family for 25 years. Then, just as your ageing father was ready to pull the plug, you blink. You're alive in there. Gradually, miraculously, you begin to regain your bodily functions. You return to find yourself in 2010, but find everything and everyone you know has changed. You're stuck out of time. Maybe it would have been better if you died in that crash after all.

Then you go to the cinema, and see a half-dozen '80s-style B-movies like Grindhouse, Machete and Hobo With A Shotgun on the marquee. Like, what's up with that? All that other stuff about the car crash and the coma was just colour. Sorry if I got carried away.

Take Machete and Grindhouse. It's a strange cinematic landscape indeed that sees a trailer for a fake movie within a real movie turned into a real movie based on a trailer. Then there's Hobo With A Shotgun. It's a stranger cinematic landscape still when a fake trailer created for a Grindhouse competition also winds up being made into a real movie.

And if all that's frying your brain, just check out the trailer below. It has Rutger Hauer shooting up a bunch of guys.
