Hobo With a Shotgun Review...
Good, Gory, Bloody mindless fun.
The thing I really liked about the movie. Was it wasn't trying to be serious and it was still well done. This is not a Revek movie as this was at least entertaining and hilarious to watch.
Oh and it's Canadian made too! And Rotten Tomatoes has it at 100% (still)
Some very notable quotes:
[Getting manhandled by giant Fallout3esque robot dudes]
"Get your hands off me, you're crushing my cigarettes"
Those who played the game and watch the movie will understand the fallout 3 reference
Abby: "you can't save the world with a shotgun"
Hobo: "it's all I know"
[hobo talking to a bunch of babies in the hospital]
I used to be like you. A long time ago. All brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special, like a doctor, or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads. And don't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know it's wrong in the first place. Maybe... you'll end up like me. A hobo with a shotgun.

At her suggestion!
In your face everyone who has a significant other who doesn't like cool movies.
I also give it:
Definitely not for everyone. A lot of strange, surreal imagery, mindless gore, and lots of shock value moments. But this is mixed with some amusing dialog and acting from Rutger Hauer (see quotes above). I especially liked the part when he was talking about a bear.
A great black comedy film.
Added: This movie is actually based on one of the fake Trailers for Grindhouse
Is provide answers to some questions we all had.
should watch it with Hopa.
And if rottentomatoes likes it, then so will Q-bert. Because heaven forbid he watch a movie that gets a rotten status on there.
