Hobo with a Shotgun Review - Off The Shelf Reviews 

I'm blown away about how many people never heard of this! the soundtrack is outstanding.

Ricky from trailor park boys is the guy with the man hole cover on him

Hells yes boys! What an epic pick this week! If I had a nickel for every time you guys inspired me to watch a badass movie I haven't seen in awhile I'd have at least enough for well.. I'd have a shitload of nickels! Keep being awsome fellas! Request - American Psycho

Great as always guys

RIP Rutger

Thanks for a great review. I really agree that it is the best Grindhouse movie. And also the best Troma movie not made by Troma.

Lol wow this is the first time i saw ricky's actor and didn't realize it.

Great movie and review, lot's of famous Canadian's in this like Ricky from Trailer Park Boy's. I think the Montreal Ubisoft team worked on the FPS game Far Cry 5, they must have watched this movie. There's a mission where you go help a guy with a bunch of school buses, and the drug zombies are attacking, and the Burn Baby Burn song is blasting as you fight wave after wave of cultist drug zombies...LOL

You guys need to watch trailer park boys

Need more uploads. Love your channel.oh and trailer park boys!!!!!! That's the guy with the sewer cover around his neck. Great Canadian comedy show. Go watch it. It's hilarious.

Wait a second. The guy with the manhole cover wrapped around his neck....... IS THAT RICKY FROM TRAILER PARK BOYS??????

Damn... that was some hardcore shit. Never even heard of this movie. "And you're riding SHOT GUN!" Lmao. Classic. I'm so down.

~LOVED this! Rutger Hauer was 100% committed and he was brilliant in this over the top nightmare !! i wanna see edger wright's 'DON'T' next !! . . . 'BLACK DYNAMITE' would be my recommendation for your next review

Love Rutger Hauer as the villain John Ryder in The Hitcher (1986)

I've not seen this movie, so it's what I'll be watching tonight, followed by your review!

I bloody love this movie! It was so funny. Rugter was great in it as was Gregory Smith.

I love this movie. *"MOTHER TERESA WAS A GODDAMN SAINT! *Knocks slick out with a sock full of pennies*"* Lmao *Turn Up*

The Hitcher is one of the best 80's horror movies. Rutger was awesome.

Yeah that movie was crazy. I think the burning school bus to hell was my favorite part.

I watched this online about 5 yrs ago, and thought, *What The Hell Am I Watchin' !?* *Rutger Hauer in this !!??* LOL (It really was crazy fun, tho !!) Excellent Review, guys.

Obviously you guys dont know trailer park boys or youdve mentioned ricky

I'm still surprised that the theme song from the 1980's cartoon, "The Raccoons" was in the end credits.

Man this movie was a fuckin ride for sure! I would love to see you guys do Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Also, since this Halloween is on a friday the 13th, I'm curious as to whether or not we'll get a fitting review? If you catch my drift xD

The cinematography is amazing. Fucking love this film.

I always thought the perfect sequel to this would be Abby as a member of the 'Plague' who sees an old man mowing the lawn with his lawnmower. This would trigger her memory of the hobo and snap her out of it and she would take off her armour and take on the Plague.

RIP Rutger Hauer 🙏

You can run with us! We've got everything you need...

You know that Logan is played by Rob wells (Ricky)

My fave part is one of the main bad guys sons getting his dingle dangle blown of and the school bus picks him up and it's to hell for him yes take that you smelly arse kicking bad man you lol

Rutger Hauer is simply awesome! Thank you guys for doing this review. You guys are entertaining as hell.

You should watch Rutger Hauer in Split Second if you want to see a truly brilliant trash masterpiece.

It was on film 4 ages ago and i was like-this will be total shit, 15 mins in i was fixated on it, it's like a cartoon yet everything works.

whats the movie at 1:31

Hey guys, loving your channel. Just wanted to ask, have you done a review on the 1982 movie, The Slayer? It's a rare movie that I've loved for years and was recently released on Blu-ray from Arrow. If you haven't already reviewed it, I'd be interest in a video from you guys, and to hear your opinions on it.

You call bumper cars "dodgems?" Huh... Always wondered why they called them that in Banjo-tooie. Didn't know some people just call them that.

What's a "cinemar"?

I was fortunate enough to see this in theaters. It was filmed in the area, and my local theater tends to show stuff that they wouldn't normally if they have a local connection. I was also able to pick up a small poster from the local comic shop

I would really like to see Eisener directing another movie. Last thing he did was directing 2nd Unit on Wingard's "Death Note".

I just rewatched Hobo With a Shotgun, and I had to come back to Gary and Iain’s review which introduced me to the film in the first place. Thank you OTSR for uncovering gems like this movie. Hollywood has reduced film making to a mass produced factory and abandoned quirky and unique storytelling. This is especially apparent in the genre of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. I just keep dipping into the well of what came before in terms of films (Television series too. Anyone a fan of Karl Kolchak: The Night Stalker?) and refresh myself in the waters of their imagination and creativity. 😔😔😔

Good luck finding an Ithaca 37 (trailer) or Remington 870 (movie) for 60 bucks nowadays. 6:00 He also had some kind of problem with one or both of his legs, so he simply wouldn't have been able to do a lot of that stuff. 15:05 Patrick Bateman, eat your heart out. 17:08 Kinda like Kyle Reese (or James Cole). Patrick Bateman wouldn't stand a chance against Kyle Reese (or James Cole) in a fair fight. 18:30 The Second Amendment empowers everyone, even the homeless, to rise up against their oppressors. Revolution is The People's birthright. 19:48 The preferred technique is to load the chamber first. It's called a "chamber load." Loading the chamber first is the only way to be able to fire a shot while loading the magazine tube. The shotgun Rutger uses is a Remington 870. In the trailer, it was an Ithaca 37. Both are user-friendly and can be used ambidextrously. Both are available with different barrel lengths and magazine tubes. In this case, both the trailer shotgun and the movie shotgun hold five standard rounds. That means four in the tube, plus one in the chamber (further illustrating why chamber-loading is the preferred technique when using a shotgun in combat). The Remington 870 is a side-ejector, which some might say makes it easier for a left-handed shooter to chamber-load. Rutger is right-handed, so that's an extraneous detail in his case. *Note:* A standard 12-gauge shotgun shell is 2-3/4" (70mm) long. A Magnum shell is 3" (76mm) long. That's after being fired. There's a crimp on the end that opens up after firing. The chamber of the gun has to be designed with that in mind. Most modern shotguns have 3" Magnum chambers. Not sure about the Ithaca 37, since it's an older model (1937 compared to 1950), but Rutger's Remington 870 has a Magnum chamber. A 12-gauge Magnum can deliver a payload that's pretty close to the payload of a standard 10-gauge round. 10-gauge was the standard-setter in the Old West. 12-gauge in metric is 18.5mm (.729 caliber). 10-gauge in metric is 19.7mm (.775 caliber). 19:51 Also, the preferred technique is to reload using the support hand so you can keep your shooting hand at the ready. I learned a lot of this stuff from friends and family members who were in the military or were police officers. And yes, they would have sided with "The Hobo" (as would I) in an urban guerrilla scenario where vigilantism becomes the law of the land. 20:30 If blood gets on blued steel, it needs to be removed immediately or it'll strip the bluing right off and promote rust. Then you need to treat the afflicted area with solvent ("Hoppe's 9" is a popular choice). In some cases, the afflicted area might need to be re-blued. Or you could opt for a gun that has a matte oxide, phosphate, Parkerized, or Marinecoat finish. I know, I know. The Hobo had to take what he could get. Really, the only "upgrade" he needs for his do0mstick is an extended magazine tube (flush-fit with the barrel) so it'll hold seven instead of five. 20:48 He should have taken that AK. Then he'd have two weapons. Alternatively, he could have equipped someone else with that AK and recruited them to fight alongside him. If you want your cause to succeed, you have to be strategic. To be strategic, you must be resourceful. That means you must make use of *ALL* available resources, yo! 21:09 It should be legal to hunt pedophiles for sport. 23:39 / 23:50 That's "The Hobo" from the trailer. 29:39 Trying to outdo Ash Williams *AND* Lionel Cosgrove! That's...ambitious to say the least. 36:22 It's "yin," Not "ying." Also, that's not what yin and yang represent.

Love this movie, batshit insain awesomeness at it's best 👌👍👏

There is a bunch of Canadian Easter eggs in this movie too. The car that Slick and Ivan are driving in is a bricklin which was produced in Canada for a very short time. The song that plays at the beginning of the end credits also appeared at the end credits of a late '80s early '90s Canadian cartoon the Raccoons. The first victim of the Drake, Ivan and Slick was going to delete actors and creators of the Canadian comedy. Show the trailer park boys. The actor that played the Drake it's probably best known before that for his role in a Canadian sci-fi series called LEXX.

Fun Fact: Hobos, Tramps, and Bums are not the same type of individual. They are related but each is distinct. For example, Hobos travel and are willing to work; Tramps travel, but avoid work when possible; and Bums neither travel nor work.

This is always in the pound shops. That kind of put me off but I'll pick it up.

Grindhouse is either hit or miss for me. Loved Deathproof. Hated Planet Terror. Black Dynamite was terrific. Hobo with a Shotgun was terrible terrible torture porn. It lost me right away at that part you showed where the hooker starts dancing in the blood gush. I prefer my retro movies to be less trashy and a tad more serious. A good example would be House of the Devil directed by Ti West. Anyhoo, still looking forward to your next review. Keep up the good work.

"WERE ALL DIRTY COPS!" That was the hobo actor from the original fake trailer.

The Hobo doesn't have infinite ammo, the bullets are just this soliified testosterone, 37:35 - Got some flashbacks from Blade Runner with that scene!

It never runs out of shells because it runs on justice 😂😂

You guys need to watch Turbo kid brillant movie

Another excellent review Thanks

You can run with us!!!... we've got everything you need!!...r.i.p the legend that is rutger hauer 🙏

I grew up in the grindhouse era and me hobo and a shotgun is a great tribute to all those wonderful movies.

Is that song at the beginning of the film the same one that plays at the beginning of Cannibal Holocaust? This film certainly knows its grindhouse roots.

Disco Inferno !!!

23:50 that's David brunt. The guy who played the original hobo with a shotgun in 2007

I bought this bluray off Amazon purely because of the title, great movie.

“When life gives you lemons; stick some razors on a baseball bat!” Best villain line of all time.

Lol one of the first movies i saw on netflix. I think it was 2013. Me and sister had a laugh.

I've seen this on film four early this year it was good

This bring the quick get dad's shotgun moment in a hold new level.

Fantastic! Great review! I saw this several times on Blu Ray. Although the review was excelent guys I missed some of the scenes mentioning those great oneliners: -Mother theresa is a goddamn saint! Hobo -It's a beautiful day for a skate rape!' Ivan Also the scene considering this: He got his foot stick in a toaster and being electocuted..followod by the (kids bus) ... they enter a tv studio were Ivan throws the skate into the tv host. Love it! -You a teacher or something? (great mimique from Rutger Hauer) And notice: The Drake has some crazy tv presentation and personal fun of killing his family members (the uncle)...as he calls the Drake show he often does...talking bout crazy..(why he shot Ivan on tv show in final scene..) And the scene in the hospital: the medical staff helping Abby by "LIve you fucking whore!!!" that's some odd personal you'd say.

Can you do. The final destination 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

That opening music sounds reminiscent of the theme from "Cannibal Holocaust". Would never have considered watching this if not for your review. Thanks.

Hobo with a Shotgun is easily one of my favorite films of all time. I love everything about it and Rutger Hauer’s performance is awesome

Fuck yeah a Canadian classic,great review . cheers from the maritimes

Hey guy,s great review as usual. I preorderd this aswell, had to as soon as heard bout it and seen trailer short flick on you tube.They took all the grass cutting stuff from fact as the geezer who was the original hobbo does that in his home town to make sum cash as he,s on benefits due to having medical issues but he gets a little cameo in there. And the scene with the dodgems was mostly improvised as the guy with original location backed out last sec and I wonder how much flour they went through for all the coke scenes.superb choice of flick lads and can you do me a favour and review late phases I'm sure you'll enjoy😉

Over the top exploitation to the extreme. A lot of fun!

Greatest kill line ever we're taking a car ride to hell & you're riding shotgun

If canada has one use in the world it be allowing Hobo with a shotgun to exist.

Nick Bateman who plays ivan is also RIP in the Plague

This movie looks hilarious watching it later with my friend now, great review boys!

Death proof sucked, Hobo was great.

I Hate hobos!

Yesss! Was hoping for ages that you guys would do this one! Good to know you loved it as much as I did. Also, I know you don't normally do recent films, but do you think you guys would be interested in reviewing the new It? Just to contrast it with your opinions on the old one and all.

Badass film long live Hobo with a Shotgun

LadyHawk is amazing!! Please review it if you can!!

Me and my dad watched this, and holy shit it was bad shit crazy

I remember walking into the bedroom one night and the wife was watching this late night, I think it was being shown on channel 4 or something. The movie was nearly half way through but we watched the rest of it together, I was surprised that she stuck throughout the film and actually enjoyed it. I would never thought this would be the type of film she would enjoy, very, very, very odd.

Deathproof is just a bad attempt at making an exploitation film. It's isn't really like an exploitation film at all but instead desperately wishes it was.

BEST grindhouse exploitation film ever

It was a great money honestly imma watch it again.

I LOVE SICK SHIT LIKE THIS!

I was wondering if you could review Rubber?

Never seen this one, I'll give it a watch some time. Great review as always!

Just watched this masterpiece.

CINEMAPHPHATOGRAPHY!!! XD
