Plot
Edit
Casey Jones is the story of a quirky young man with an irresistible propensity for violence. A lifelong outcast, Casey (Hilarion Banks) learned at a young age to channel his brutal urges into sports, but after being kicked off the local hockey team for excessive force during practice, Casey moves back in with his worrisome mother to seek solace at his boyhood home. His retreat is soon interrupted though when a vicious gang of street punks, the Purple Dragons, savagely beat himfor attempting to remove their graffiti, nearly killing him. After narrowly escaping the encounter with his life, Casey vows to single-handedly rid his neighborhood of crime and trains rigorously. Armed with a golf bag loaded with sports equipment and sporting a fearful hockey mask, Casey stalks the alleyways by night, mercilessly trouncing any delinquents unlucky enough to cross his path. The misguided crusader soon goes off the deep end, and an unlikely ally from the sewers is forced to intervene before the vigilante annihilates every criminal in the city.

Reception
Edit
MTV Geek said it "is probably the most spot-on film treatment of the hockey-masked avenger you will ever find. With superior acting, cinematography, and direction, it is more than just another fan film -- but rather something more akin to TMNT as done by Martin Scorsese."
