Hobo with a Shotgun is a 2011 Canadian exploitation action horror film directed by Jason Eisener and written by John Davies, starring Rutger Hauer. It is based on the winning trailer of the same name from Robert Rodriguez's South by Southwest Grindhouse trailers contest.
A hobo (Rutger Hauer) arrives in a lawless town called Hope Town (graffiti sprayed over the word "hope" on the town sign makes it read "Scum Town") via freight train. Scum Town is ruled with an iron fist by The Drake (Brian Downey) and his sadistic, homicidally murderous sons Ivan (Nick Bateman) and Slick (Gregory Smith). Just as he arrives, the Hobo witnesses the execution of The Drake's brother Logan (Robb Wells), who is decapitated at the hands of Ivan and Slick for trying to do some unexplained thing.
The Hobo later visits a pawn shop, where he sees a lawnmower costing $49.99. In order to buy it and start a lawnmowing business, the Hobo starts begging for change on a sidewalk, where he sees Ivan and Slick entering a building. He follows them into an arcade and witnesses them harassing a boy named Otis (Drew O'Hara), who owes them money. A prostitute named Abby (Molly Dunsworth) attempts to stop them. Slick
