mockfilmsblog When I was a young buck fresh out of film school, hungry for a chance to do anything in the field, I was hired on my second real movie gig as a an Art PA to build and dress sets. Given the script on the day I was hired, I couldn't believe the pitch told to me in the moments following me reading the title. The evil son of Santa Claus named Damien kills Santa in order to monopolize the holiday season by putting an end to Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. The only hope of saving the day is Mordechai Jefferson Carver aka The Hebrew Hammer, the hardest hitting heeb this side of the Tel Aviv (not my words) and his allies at The Jewish Justice League and The Kwanzaa Liberation Front. You dig!Made as a spoof of the Blackspoitation films of the 70's, The Hebrew Hammer is basically the Jewish Shaft. Part man. Part street. 100% kosher. With offensively un-PC jokes aimed at everyone regardless of race, religion or creed, the film is nothing, if not fair, to everyone that it might offend. (and you may just be offended. You're an adult, suck it up!) But that aside, the concept of the film is a solid one. Only held back by it's low budget, but I can tell you from being there, we did the best with we could with what we had and it mostly worked... mostly.

artpf Mordechai Jefferson Carver, aka the Hebrew Hammer, is an orthodox Jewish stud who goes on a mission to save Hanukkah. When Santa Claus's evil son Damian is pushed over the edge by his father's liberal policies, he does away with the Christian patriarch. Subsequently stepping into his father's role, Damian launches a campaign to eradicate the Jewish Holiday. The Hammer joins forces with Esther Bloomenbergensteinenthal, the gorgeous and dangerous daughter of the leader of the Jewish Justice League; and his brother-in-arms Mohammed Ali Paula Abdul Rahim, the head of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front, to topple Santa's evil progeny and to save Hanukkah for future generations of Jews.It's a bigoted intolerant sacrilegious movie that could only be made in America. Morty gets a dreidel while all the Christians get an abundance of presents. Well whose fault is THAT?I now this is a comedy, but the movie is idiotic. And if any Christian made a film that started with a title page that said something to the effect of "we're sick of the Jews" Hell would be had to pay.Suck is the double standard under which we live today. Time to change things, don't you think?Anyway, it's a reasonably funny movie, albeit a one trick pony.

jts0405 I am Jewish, so when I heard of this concept I felt that I had to see it. The movie was just flat out filled with laughs. The Hebrew Hammer is displayed as a cool styled Jewish private investigator. He joins with the Jewish Justice League as Damien Claus (Andy Dick) is on the verge of destroying Channukah and possibly Kwanzaa. With a pretty memorable performance from Adam Goldberg as the Hammer himself. Most of the lines become pretty memorable and even if you are Jewish and find the content too risky for your liking, you still have no choice but to laugh at the guys Star of David hood ornament as well as other things, like the Star of David spurs on his boots. The movie is definitely not for everyone. The content may offend those who celebrate Channukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and are Jewish. But even for me being a Jew, I can't help but just sit back and laugh at humor like this.

Gethzerion Too bad the IMDb scoring system isn't favorable to movies like this one. If you're not familiar with Jewish culture then you'll likely miss most of the jokes. I'm born Jewish and my parents tried to raise me as one too, but they completely gave up when I was around 10. I've grown to be agnostic and I haven't know any Jews personally for at least 15 years (except for my parents, who barely count).I felt like this movie was made for me. I laughed so hard I almost choked myself, while my friends were often wondering what the hell I was laughing at.I think it's meant for a very specific audience. If you understand/are familiar with Jewish culture, you will love this movie. It's just so out there and has a succulent in your face attitude.
