The Hobo Blu-ray Disc, Two-Disc Special Edition DVD with Digital Copy, and single-disc DVD are all packed with bonus features including the first commentary ever delivered by screen icon Rutger Hauer, and will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98, $29.98 and $26.98, respectively.

“A train pulls into the station -it’s the end of the line. A Hobo jumps from a freight car, hoping for a fresh start in a new city. Instead, he finds himself trapped in an urban hell. This is a world where criminals rule the streets and Drake, the city’s crime boss, reigns supreme alongside his sadistic murderous sons, Slick & Ivan. Amidst the chaos, the Hobo comes across a pawnshop window displaying a second hand lawn mower. He dreams of making the city a beautiful place and starting a new life for himself. But as the brutality continues to rage around him, he notices a shotgun hanging above the lawn mower. Quickly, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this town is with that gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.”
