I love “bad” movies! So, even though a lot of people will hate on a flick like Batman & Robin, I love it! Or, what about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which is jaw-droppingly bad? Guess what. I’m a fan! However, what impresses me even more is when movies are made to be intentionally bad, or at least go full throttle into exploitation territory. Case in point: 2007’s Grindhouse, which was brought to us from the creative minds of Robert Rodriguez (who deserves his flowers), and Quentin Tarantino (who gets quite enough already).
Well, one of the best parts about the deliciously ridiculous Grindhouse doubler feature were the fake trailers, which led to real, full-length movies, those being Machete, Thanksgiving, and Hobo With a Shotgun. I loved the Machete movies, and Thanksgiving, but I think Hobo With a Shotgun deserves more love. Here’s why.
