Hobo with a Shotgun
“Delivering justice, one shell at a time...”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A homeless man abandons his modest plans for a fresh start when a crime-ridden town pushes him into vigilantism. Rutger Hauer gives the character weight while everyone around him competes in a festival of grotesque cruelty. The vivid exploitation pastiche is vicious, including violence against children, and decidedly intended for hardened midnight audiences.

Synopsis and movie facts
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.
