The first look at Rutger Hauer in the HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN behind the scenes video! Plus an exclusive piece of art!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with more HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN news. Last weekend we broke Rutger Hauer playing the title character and that filming was to begin on Monday. The first week of shooting is up and a nifty behind the scenes video has hit the nets, which features our first look at Roy Batty as the Hobo. Check it out:
And that’s not all, as they say on those late night infomercials.
I also have a bit of art from Nat Jones for the production and some background on what it all means.
The Plague is a bounty hunting team hired to hunt down and eliminate the Hobo. Sucks for them because we all know the Hobo won’t go easy on ‘em. Also love the THING font.
Lookin’ good!

A little box with a red X. Amazing!
-
AMG THIRD!
-
That, despite the fact that he's the title character, this movie is gonna focus on a few bad lead actors and then splice in the day or two's shooting they filmed with Rutger. Of course I've got nothing more to base this on than my bad experience with DTV-style movies like this in the past.<p> That is an evocative poster, though. No one mentioned rusty robot foot soldiers before!
-
That looks as low budget as it gets. And how the fuck does it have a R rating if they only just started shooting?
-
Seeing that stuff on a "features" portion of the Blu-ray is fine but it makes your production look amaturish when it's released before the film.
-
It was called The Road Warrior
-
This could be great. The robot looking armour is bizzare looking. It should be fun and bloody at the very least.
-
i have no idea why some of you think raw footage has been released. if you spent five minutes reading the blog you would find out all the video stuff is being done by the guys behind the blog. this is all for fans like me, who want to see how things are made. c'mon this is totally an amazing thing for jason to be letting us in on! the nat jones artworrrk is seweet! i can't wait to see more!
-
"(Insert some person exploited by society) WITH A (Insert some badass weapon)" There's your movie title. In a word boring. But, on the bright side, at least it looks better and more fun than Kick-Ass.
-
Seriously, are you?
-
I dont really think this is raw footage. Its clearly behind the scenes stuff. Eisner and the crew are visible in alot of the footage. Its pretty cool they are letting us see some of the effects work and shooting this early.
-
Tapioca made me do it. I love Ad Libs.
-
AND WHOEVER BRINGS HIM TO ME, GETS ALL MY BROADS!
-
Jeebus guys.
-
and why does the video look so direct to dvd. Take his damn clothing and rake it through some filth behind a truck and hit it with some sandpaper, and stop production on the movie and tell RH to stop shaving for 8 months and then start filming again. teeth gotta be yellow also.
-
Seriously. Are grown men involved in this? I like 'action' as much as the next guy but there is a line that crosses into 'violence porn'. This looks to be over that line with no redeeming social qualities.
-
I am 1/8 Hobo, and a quarter Mexican-Eskimo.
-
this all looks just too delicious. tantra face.
-
Both in the usual sense and a Kierkegaardian sort of way. I somehow get the feeling this would also work (perhaps better) as a weekly TV show, with Hauer's hobo character traveling from town to town like Caine in "Kung Fu". Only (of course) unlike Caine he's not a peaceable man whose can of whupass is pried open by unsuspecting idiots. Each episode would begin with Hauer randomly offing a few punks, then the townfolk spend the remainder of the episode trying to chill him the fuck out (maybe ply him with liquor & ho's). But alas, his rage is too all-encompassing, and each episode ends with a mini-bloodbath. Plus he needs a catchphrase.
-
but I agree with some of the other TB's. It may have been a good idea to keep the video under wraps.
-
Footage... not so much. The original trailer was looking way more kickass.
-
he was born for this role
-
One of the most underrated and underused actors ever.fucking Holywood.
-
Just because some washed up has-been gets a gig we're all supposed to get excited about something that would otherwise be straight into the out-tray. yawn!!
-
*Which* "Firefly" guy?--- Nathan Fillon or Adam Baldwin? Good call either way.<P>Even so, I doubt Hauer will disappoint as a shotgun-toting badass with an amoral agenda. If you haven't seen "Wanted: Dead Or Alive", go rent it, watch it, and return enlightened.
-
it was horrible.
-
Hauer earns a lifetime badass pass 'cuz of WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE...and BLIND FURY, not to mention THE HITCHER. I'd watch him be a Hobo w/a shotgun anyday!
-
Nowdays, Rutger Hauer looks like an hobo even when he's dressed posh. He barely resembles now the adonis he used to be in his younger years - just check out how he lokked like in SOLDIER OF ORANGE and BLADE RUNNER. That man aged badly. He's a cautionary tale about the excesses of party-life, drugs and inflated ego. Damn fine actor, though. He deserves a comeback.
-
"This looks to be over that line with no redeeming social qualities."<br><br>I hope you never enjoyed a Michael Bay movie.
-
But not BLADE RUNNER and SOLDIER OF ORANGE? For shame!
-
I completly agree with you about Rutger Hauer. The thing is, he's responsible for where he's now, due to his mistakes and bad calls. But it's about time the man gets a comeback, with that i totally agree with you. He's a damn good actor, too good to go to waste. For a moment i though it was happening, due to his high profile casting for BATMAN BEGINS.
-
Rutger Hauer has been the Rasputin of B Movies for far too long, with the occasional foray into top shelf recognition (a Golden Globe award for "Fatherland", a solid addition to "Batman Begins"). Let's hope the man's staying power can push him back up the ladder yet again.
-
....of a straggly beard in this, and be dressed in a long (no doubt pissed-stained) coat in this, giving him a kind of demented 'hitcher' look.<P>I'm sure he'll be great in this eventually though.
-
Glad Hauer is still getting work.Bless the fucker.
-
by which i mean low budget
-
Looks like a home-spun attempt at a horror flick circa 1980 or maybe that's intentional, either way it looks pretty sub standard. Poor Rutger from Agent of Orange to this???!

is gonna probably look a great deal different than what we are seeing in this behind the scenes footage. After seeing "Treevenge", I am confident he is gonna deliver exactly what fans of the trailer are looking for in a full feature.

hope the feature is as much fun as the mock trailer.

Some punks should say mid-rampage "Hey, chill out, Homey." Then, as he raises his shotgun... "I ain't got no homey." BLAM! This is going to be fun, looking forward to it.

You are less of a person for not seeing RUTS' 104 features
by youridol
The greatest actor of all time. http://www.rutgerhauer.org/ He has a million muscles in his face and has control over every one of them. “I condense what I do and I try to make it intelligent. Rather than say, 'Let me repeat this for you a couple times so you get it... ok?' I don't want to do that. I mean, why would you want to serve that kind of audience? So all my audiences, I think, are relatively limited. It's not the masses.” The Ruts.

Reprinted: Rickey henderson on EASTERN PROMISES ' knife fight:
by Subtitles_Off
From #44736: <P> re: the Knife fight in EASTERN PROMISES<P> by Rickey Henderson on Apr 26th, 2010 @ 03:17:48 PM<P> Rickey's sorry, but that's got to be one of the most horrific things he's ever witnessed. Total calamity broke out in the Henderson household when that scene aired: <P> Rickey: Oh no, oh please no no no no no… I do not like where this is headed… <P> Rickey: Yep, shit, there it is: it’s out and flopping about. Man-cock on my freaking HD television, lovely. Why in fuck would an actor agree to something like this? Why couldn’t the movie just give me a normal fight scene? <P> Rickey: What in the name of sweet Christ is that anyway? It looks like a falcon’s nest with a salt shaker in the middle. Where’s wardrobe in all this? <P> Rickey: Shit, why can’t he just turn his back to the camera?! Argh, no, even when he does it’s still hiding nothing. Jesus, there’s blood everywhere, how is he still fighting? <P> Rickey: Fuck you David Cronenberg, fuck you for making me sit through this, you sick sadistic prick. <P> Rickey: The horror, the horror… <P> Mrs. Henderson: Ok, I think it’s over now. <P> Rickey: Really, it’s safe? Are you sure? I can come out now? Oh fuck no, that one’s still alive! Now Viggo’s on top of him! Why is he on top of him? Why god, why?!
-
This is almost a loaded question because a) Roy Batty is Haurer's favorite role he ever played (it's also his favorite movie he made); b) In his early career he had so many good roles.<br><br>I guess i have to go with his role in SOLDIER OF ORANGE, it was his most wholesome role he played. But he was magnificent in THE HITCHER. I guess for me it's a tie up then with SOLDIER OF ORANGE and THE HITCHER.
-
I thought it was average-entertaining on the day I saw it, and it's been downhill since I've thought of it since then.
-
I've never seen SOLDIER OF ORANGE.
-
... Daryl Hannah's favorite movie is BLADE RUNNER. Not her favorite movie she was in, but her FAVORITE movie, the movie she loves the most in the whole history of cinema. How that that, that you were an actor in your own favorite movie? Must be a great felling.
-
just being Darryl Hannah. What with all the getting beat up by Jackson Browne and all.
-
Oh you should, it's Paul Verhoeven,a nd it's WWII spy stuff. It also stars Jeromé Krabbé. Really, Verhoeven's dutch stuff is also good stuff to check out. SOLDIER OF ORANGE is just his most "acessible" dutch movie, so to speak. Also, the movie has a guy being blown up by a hand grenade while on the shitter. Only Verhoeven.
-
Hey, how you doing, friend? Drank any good new wines recently?
-
really..i cant stop thinking about it..and i really cant remmeber much of HTTM..i dont think its a masterpiece but rather an interesting take on a superhero film.<P>we'll discuss more im sure...dont wanna steal SG's thunder.
-
considering the thing's a complete flop, we can whack at it like a piñata.
-
crammed together, ass-to-mouth. And I only found one of them to be rewarding.
-
... in USA. The movie was even nominated for oscar for best foreign movie i believe. It has more pedigré then just "from the director of Robocop".

Thanks for the recommendation.<P>I can't hold two thoughts in my head at the same time.<P>Don't laugh. You'll all be old some day, too!

Flickapoo, yes JENNIER JASON LEIGH (why have I done her name in caps??) does get raped by Rutger, while his men play the bongo drums. Beaks would like it but I can see why dw might not...
-
Somebody in here saw FLESH & BLOOD? For real? I'm impressed, dear sir, i'm impressed! And yeah, it's one hell of a badass medieval movie. It's also Verhoeven's first english language movie, and not Robocop, as many believe.
-
Doesn't surprise me he would be arrested for that.
-
"Like a busty chick leaving just the top button undone."<p> Yeah, I like that type. You know they've got it and they know they got it. And they know that you know they got it.<p> God, women can be such minxes...
-
I would say it was my 3rd verhoeven film
-
Wow, somebody saw SPETTERS too in here? Another "i'm impressed" moment for me. Some people in here do know their Verhoeven Dutch Period. What i found most amusing in Verhoeven's SPETTERS is how unjudgemental the movie is to the characters, speacially to the leading lady character. In most movies made in Holywood, she would be labled a fucking bitch and would get her "just deserve" in the end. But not this movie, this movie actually likes her and gives her an happy ending, which in some ways, she deserved. Verhoeven sure has this sympathy for "lose" women.
-
Asi, yes indeed mark me down for DEATHSTALKER 2, SPACEHUNTER 3D, MANIAC COP, and THE HIDDEN as well. If it was genre then it premiered in the dojo.
-
after ROBOCOP. I even saw it in the theaters, in a rerun. Lucky me.
-
The Hidden? I really liked that movie. Need to rewatch it someday.
-
Once again, HI EVERYBODY! <p> This is the part where everyone says, "Hi, Dr. Nick!"
-
... completly fucked up with oneof the most horrible misguided fucking movie score i ever had to suffer in my whole life! What the fuck is that shit? That fucking score!! An abomination! I'll never buy that movie, DVd or bluray of whatever, on account of that fucking soundtrack. I'm serious! That movie's music is one of the most vile bullshit i ever had to suffer in my whole life watching movies. For me, scores can make or break a movie, and that fucking score pulverizes it.
-
That's really good...and sexy
-
Are you a man of welth and taste?
-
"Ho-mer, Simp-son?"
-
But have yet to see Spetters. As far as Verhoeven's Dutch films, I am woefully unenducated. But I've always heard that Spetters is in the same league as Showgirls. That's not the Verhoeven I love. I really liked Black Book though. Who saw that?
-
It's pretty restrained for ol Paul.
-
Too many twists and turns for their own good.
-
for Ladyhawke. I agree it was shit, though the film itself had an original, interesting, romantic story. And the lead was likeable. And the action was brutal. Uh...fuck it! That movie was seven kinds of awesome to me. If you disagree, that's cool. <p> I'm looking at you, Asi. <p> But the film itself was the best film of its kind until the pure awesomeness of Willow premiered.
-
with Soldier of Orange. It was at least the best movie ever made about the sexual and moral ambiguity of the Duth Resistance. And if all less fails, it gives us all a glimpse of van Houten's beautiful vagina.
-
...a movie like LADYHAWK in particular benefits from great music...instead it was good despite the music.<P> Imagine if CONAN THE BARBARIAN had a bad synthesizer score...<P> [shudder]
-
I have absolutly no idea how one could compare SPETTERS with SHOWGIRLS. In Spetters, you are supposed to find the characters sympathetic if real. In Showgirls, everybody is supposed to be unsympathetic assholes, sympathy, if any, is gained by pathos.
-
Methinks i missed it.
-
Acorn. Stone Fist. "Is that the extent of your powers, little one?"
-
Let me put it again, LADYHAWN is a pretty good movie fucked up by a score. Take out the score, and you would get one damn good fun movie. It's one of those rare cases where a Holywood movie actually made a believably looking Middle Ages directed by an american. The best is still DRAGONSLAYER, i can't believe an american made that, he got so much right.
-
Mother of sluthudson
-
...TAKING A PIPI!
-
And I like it better the more I see it.<p> ContinentalOp, despite your reservations about the film, its not a WWII movie, nor a movie about WWII. WWII is just the background setting, that's all.
-
...you're leg.<P> I'd like to break it.
-
Horners score is amazing...I would kill for a complete score.
-
I think you are traumatized with the score, you deliberatly forgot the whole of it. Perfectly understandable.
-
Ladyhawke is the best fantasy film with a medieval fim ever. <p> Asi, it's just what I heard. I don't even know what Spetters is about. I always heard it was about draq racing or something and I was have yet to hear anything interesting about it. And I'm a Verhoeven fan so please don't go off on me.
-
...weird, we just discussed that movie recently re: CLASH OF THE TITANS.<P> Best dragon ever.
-
And i thank Paul Verhoeven for unleashing Carice van Houten to the world. That man knows what he's doing.

...wouldn't it be easy to retroactively drop a new score...
by FlickaPoo
...in a movie like LADYHAWK?<P> Fuck Lucas and his ex post facto CG effects.<P> Someone needs to give LADYHAWK some decent music...sell a bunch of Blu-ray disks.
-
Indeed it is. Rewatched it recently, and was amazed at how smart that movie is. It's not just a movie with a cool dragon, but it's a pretty smart movie that has something to say. Basically, it's what Zemeckis' Beowulf wants to be when it grows up.
-
Shore or Giacchino or the ghost of Basil Poledouris do it for LADYHAWKE?
-
... is THE FOURTH MAN. That movie is a complete mindfuck. And many people will havea hard time watch it. Specially those who had their "manlihood" threatned when they watched BROKENBACK MOUNTAIN. If BROKENBACK shaked them up so much, then THE FOURTH MAN would turn them into scary little girls bleeding from their pussies and asses!
-
Yub yub!
-
the band playing at the Nelwyn village is a perfect piece of jaunty joy.
-
...five times in a row?
-
Only good thignthat came out of it was makingthe movie known to a younger generation... by basterdizing the original with fucking shitty music. A loaded gift that one was.
-
...oh, I'm happy to have this particular nuclear weapon in my arsenal!
-
I gues it was the first score from Horner which i felt disapointed. i really loved the 80s scores composed by horner. He was one of my favorite film composers. Now, the very mention of his name gives me gastritte and pancreatic cancer. Fuck that asshole!
-
... by Basil Pouledoris. So, yeah, Verhoeven and Pouledoris had worked before ROBOCOP. And FLESH + BLOOD score is pretty good. That man could made scores.
-
..."I dwell in darkness without you" and it WENT AWAY?!
-
It's not a gay thing, Asi. It was just a visually interesting, though less intriguing piece of work from Verhoeven for me. I grew up on RoboCop and Total Recall Verhoeven, and when it comes to it erotic thrillers, it's sad to say that he's only a little better than Adrian Lyne. <p> I just didn't care for the people involved, whereas Douglas in Basic Instinct was somewhat understandable for me. Once again, this is not a gay thing, but I just can't agree with the shallowness of the characters presented in The Fourth Man.
-
As soembody said above, SPETTERS is a slice of life movie about this 3 friends and the girl that enters their life. Two of them are byke racers, one of them very good and a possible world champion and the other not so good, and the 3rd is a skilled mechanic that fixes the bykes. they are young kids in late 70s Holland, just wanting to have fun with their girlfriends, little worries about the future. It's a really good movie, and for allt hose who think that Verhoeven is an action movie direector, it does come as a suprise to see that he could make character drama movies. Adn yes, there's racing sequence sin the movie and they are pretty good. As a bonus, there's Rutger Hauer in a cameo, and it's your oportunity to see how he sounds speaking in his native dutch.
-
but it's precedent.
-
I was thinking about WILLOW while I was watching WOLFHOUND. The lead villain guy has the exact same 'skull mask'. It's a classic design of course, so I don't mind a little plagarism...<p> http://tinyurl.com/3afeql7
-
...WHAT DO WE WANT?!<P> A DECENT ORCHESTRAL SCORE FOR LADYHAWKE!!!<P> ...WHEN DO WE WANT IT?!<P> NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE!!!!<P> Um, yeah...but what's our second choice?<P> NOW!!!!!!!!
-
You se,e the shallowness of the characters in THE FOURTH MAN is the point. first of all, the whole movie, desides being a mystery thrilelr, is also a joke playined on the type of pseudo-intellectual movies fileld with meaningless meaningful stuff. Verhoeven and his scriptwriter decided to have fun with the critics and filled the movie with clues that mean nothing at all. Meanwhile, the important lcues and hidden stuff was shown more ellictically.<br><br>The main character is deliberatly unsympathetic. He's a narsicist, and the movie takes great pleasure in pulling his leg and fucking him up. He's one of those "important" writers who ar ein fact shallow idiots with too much self-importance just because they can string words into good writing. As for the lead lady character, she is the ultimate ambigious femme fatale. nothing is ever known about her. Is she really a murderous black-spider? Or is she just a poor woman who suffered a run of very bad luck? Or is she really a witch? Or is all just in the imagination of the lead character? Does Jesus and the Holy Mary actually helping him? Or is he just a stupid drunk that is in the final stages of alchoolic delirioum?<br><br>I think you understimate the movie. You should check it out and listne to the audio comentary by Paul Verhoeven, he explains a hell of a lot the whole business about the movie.
-
That means both the movie and the director can go fuck themselves. WILLOW is what Star Wars looks like if made by a retard.<br><br>Ronnie's daughter, however, is awesome.
-
Not just now but RIGHT NOW!!
-
Willow, is also in fact, awesome.
-
even try to seek out quality movies? According to the answers listed here, I've seen pictures who people wouldn't believe.
-
See you fookers later. Looks like I'll have to read SG&SOG tomorrow a.m. <p>Keep fuckin' that chicken.
-
If it was awesome, i would remember. I'm a sucker for films scores.<br><br>And no, WILLOW is not awesome. That's nostalgia talking. Nostalgia has that effect on people. WILLIW is a bargain version of an atempt at LOTR but missing the point as much as Michael Bay did when he made PEARL HARBOR. And that's a lot, baby.
-
But Willow is an amazing piece of work and Ron Horward is a wonderful director. Just look at that adrenaline soaked extravaganza that was Backdraft and the sheer intensity of Apollo 13.
-
It's in the DVD of THE HITCHER. It's anostalgia piece about how when he was a young man he obsessed with a house, a house which many of the most important moments of his life happened in it's nearby. A house which he later bought as an older man. The climax cames when he realises that the reason why he was always so obsessed with it was because that was the house where he will die. Very cool short movie, you guys should check it out.
-
Backdraft is so amazing i barely remember anything about it. yeah, amazing. And amazing is not a word to be associated with Ronnie Vanilla Howard. Howard is the guy that when he wants to go intelligent, he makes THE DAVINCI CODE. Yeah, right. and let me tell you this about APPOLO 13. That's a mvoie made of two half. There is this very good movie which is about the astronauts, the control room at NASA and the problem that the Appollo 13 suffered in space. And then there is this fucking horrible melodramatic fucking piece of shit abomination about the fucking wives andthe fucking kids and the fucking mother on Earth and all that sentimentaloid fucking piece of cheap emotional manipulation bulshit. Ronnie can pick all that shit and shove it up his fucking ass!
-
Didn't the Kurgan have a mask like the one General Pauline Kael wore?
-
... for the mentally challenged. It's when Geroge Lucas tried to remake the magic of STAR WARS, used the same tropes, and failed miserably. Because it was Ronnie Fucking Howard directing it. Jesus Christ, Luca,s so yeah, Howard was in AMERICAN GRAFFITTI, and it's admirable your loyalty to your old pals, but for fuck's sake! Howard is not what you chose if you want to go epic or badass. Specially both. Howard is this light comedy/soap opera director who for some weird fucking reason people keep on hiring to direct movies the guy can't even have a clue how to make them.

One of my all time favorite villains. Always great to see an actor have fun with his work.
-
Jesus, some of you actually watch movies, don't you?
-
Its opinion and preference. To me, Willow is awesome with a great score. Just bc you don't remember it doesn't mean it can't be great.
-
How can you NOT seek out her movies?
-
But I am sure it was great. At least I hope so.
-
Only director to successfully completely waste Jennifer Jason Acting Machine Leigh. Fuck you, Opie. (BTW: Bruce Campbell called Jennifer an "acting machine." and she's his personal favorite.)
-
The first time I had sex I was so traumatized I considered pulling a St. Peter and never having it again.
-
I was about 11 when it came out and I thought Val Kilmer and Warwick could do no wrong! I watch it every two or three years. I saw it again last year and I STILL think its awesome!
-
So I'm hoping it was. But considering it didn't scare me off, I imagine it was so. <p> Now, I can't say the same for her however...
-
Coming soon...
-
Delivers the "did you get the memo" line 8 million and 6 times better.
-
I think that is a tad exaggerating, don't you youridol? I prefer Hauer's read of it, but a lot of that has to do with the context of his character (swarmy bastard).
-
Hauer would have equally destroyed him if the roles were reversed. Freeman has never shown the range to excel as a face and as a heel.
-
It's in his motherfuckin contract!

I don't think Hauer has the naturally like-ability and charm
by Continentalop
That Morgan has, so I don't think the role reversal would work that well for either one.
-
no one notices because Hauer fucking obliterates him.
-
I liked Hauer in CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND. He brought pathos to his small little role.
-
youridol, holy shit Hauer top 40 is some dedication.<p> ...always nice to see SALUTE OF THE JUGGER get a mention too...
-
Hauer has more charisma in his fingernail clippings than Freeman and his mother have in their entire bodies.
-
But Freeman obviously has charisma and presence. Otherwise why does he enamor people so much? <p> Presence isn't always given to those who are the better actors.
-
Hauer Top 41 through 80 performances. (I've seen 83 of his feature films.)

That would be more than Freeman IN his granddaughter
by Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tastes
Have in their sick bodies
-
youridol, ESCAPE FROM SOBIBOR too was a decent production...<p> But Rutger Hauer was in SALEM'S LOT with David Soul and James Mason? Are you sure?
-
To convince his step-granddaughter to let him have anal sex with her. Think how much charisma you need to do that, and let everyone give you a free pass?
-
“I condense what I do and I try to make it intelligent. Rather than say, 'Let me repeat this for you a couple times so you get it... ok?' I don't want to do that. I mean, why would you want to serve that kind of audience? So all my audiences, I think, are relatively limited. It's not the masses.” - Rutger Hauer. Freeman is too "on the nose" and obvious and easy for people to "get."
-
He means the new 'SALEM'S LOT. The one with Donald Sutherland playing the Mason part.
-
Freeman gets no free pass. That boy will have to Salute The Jugger one day... Oh yes. Freeman you *are* Unforgiven.
-
Ahhh... never heard of that one, let alone seen it... i'm guessing late Hauer era DTV...
-
Nicolas Roeg's EUREKA (1983). Hauer. Rourke. Hackman. Russell. Pesci. Lauter. Spinell.

TMZ got pics of Morgan hitting his grandD's hershey?
by Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tastes
I don't wanna see that.
-
Samuel L. Jackson to Robert De Niro in JACKIE BROWN.
-
youridol, gotta hand it to you - you know your Hauer...<p> And they do say the man who has the Hauer has the power.<p> Cometh the hour cometh the Hauer (I think is another Bavarian folk saying).
-
this the new thread?
-
I picked up a card and it says "Go Back One Space."
-
A Hauer is the average length of a Hauer movie (approximately 93 minutes). So, if you say, "See you in a Hauer." People will assume 60 minutes but you can show up in 90 or so and not be later. Or in 3 hours and say, "I was thinking of like an INSIDE THE 3RD REICH kind of Hauer."

Hey guys, I really appreciate the feedback on Hobo. I get the impression some people are thinking this is a Hollywood flick. Which is not the case what so ever. Hobo is pretty low budget. It feels like im still making a movie with my friends and it just so happens that Rutger Hauer is playing along with us. The blog videos are behind the scenes clips. Hobo With a Shotgun wouldn't be happening if it were not for the internet audience that supported the original trailer. I have some friends making blogs and posting them as we go so I could keep everyone who helped us involved in some way. Were shooting this film just like they did in the good old canadian tax shelter days. Hopefully will make a rad movie, hopefully some of you will dig it. Thanks guys
-
Oh man, that Plague poster is bad ass!
-
Loving that 80s synth like score. Hope the director sticks with it.
-
Wrong. The good stuff always makes me an impression. The very bad too, but for different reasons. WILLOW is mere mediocrity. It's nostalgia alright for you.
-
Thanks for dropping by mate, you go for it... you've already done great 'groundwork' with the trailer and casting genre-fave Hauer. I'm sure you have every chance of making 'a rad movie' - hopefully MACHETE might also release around the same time and create a bit of synergy and extra heat for the flick.<p> Good luck with it...
-
You're not the end all be all litmus test of good taste, Asimov, no matter what you think.

Rickey has seen hobos on fire off the shoulder of Orion!
by Rickey Henderson
Rutger Hauer certainly plumped up a bit since Blade Runner...

Ever notice you never see The Hobo and Epic Beard Man...
by BurnHollywood
...In the same place at the same time? Conspiracy, I calls it.<p> I'm reserving an empty space on my shelf for the XBOX 360 game, I tell you what...
-
Does that mean you are the litmus test then?
-
It means that yet another TB'er has caught you for being a pretentious sack of cocks with a grossly overinflated opinion of yourself. <P>Now go back to licking your own crusty jizz of the back of your favourite pet.
-
Someone's driving a Bricklin? Wierd.
-
Stop wasting time and kill yourself already. Do something useful for once.
-
Made in New Brunswick, part Richard Hatfield's legacy. That and weed.
-
and jokes are aplenty
-
who constantly watched BSG
-
No one is. I wouldn't presume to tell someone with a different opinion from mine that the only reason they like something is because of nostalgia.
-
And yet you fight for the notion that WILLOW is a great awesome movie. You know when soembody does that? When they are certain they are right. And it's as it should. Just stop with all that "me say this, you say that" stuff. that's not fairness. You believe you are right about WILLOW. You believe you are more right about it them me. Just admit it. I'd respect that directness far more, because that's what it is. You believe you are right and not me. That's it. No shame about it. Just deal with it.<br><br>And it's me who'sright about WILLOW, that movie is just mediocre , a bad atempt at LOTr mixed with STAR WARS and failing along the way form start to finish. Lucas wantesd to strike gold twice following the STAR WARSS recepy but it didn't worked. And Ronnie Howard's direction is like all his directing, bland, uninteresting and uninspired. He's a jorneyman bordering on hack.
-
in Batman 3 as a villain.i hope it will happen.
-
I would just love to see Rutger Hauer return to tghe big league, Mickey rourke style. The man is just too good to be wasted in DTV drivel.
