Grinded By the Light

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez decided to get together and make a double feature film celebrating Grindhouse cinema and named it, well, Grindhouse. The film had a series of fake trailers that played before the film, and during the intermission.

To promote the 2007 release of the film, a competition was held where amateur film makers could enter their own fake trailers. The winning entry was Hobo With a Shotgun.



This idea proved to be so popular, that it became a feature length film released earlier this year (with no less than Rutger Hauer taking on the role of the Hobo):



Now, to promote the release of Hobo With a Shotgun on DVD and Blu Ray, another fake trailer contest was held. The winning entry is Van Gore:



This has proven to be a popular concept as well. If this trailer becomes a real film, holds a trailer contest, and sparks another fake trailer – well, then we might have found ourselves a perpetual loop of trash cinema. An Ouroboros of sick shit, if you will.

And yes, he does launch a baby into a blender.
