“Emperor Of The North Pole” - 3/4

No it’s not about the North Pole, it’s about hoboes riding the rails for free and the train conductor who takes personal offence to it.
Lee Marvin plays top hobo, Borgnine plays the conductor who kills hoboes with a fucking hammer!

This is objectively an insane film even for an anti-establishment story. Keith Carradine plays a young hobo who doesn’t quite get the gist or the point, so it’s not just a hard action drama it is a proper story actually inspired by Jack London’s time hoboeing with “A-No-1” some famous hobo in real life. I doubt they did anything that they do in this film but man is the action tense.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as a weird, random excursion into unfamiliar territory that immediately plunged into brutal violence and sadism. Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin are too good to look ridiculous even if they should.
Watch this film, it’s bloody nuts.
