About this product

Product Information

THE HEBREW HAMMER is a holiday movie that is most definitely not for kids. Adam Goldberg stars as Mordechai Jefferson Carver, also known as the Hebrew Hammer, a private detective who has an overbearing mother (Nora Dunn) and a propensity to whine when things get difficult. He is hired by Bloomenbergensteinthal (Peter Coyote), chief of the Jewish Justice League, to prevent Damian Claus (Andy Dick) from killing Hanukkah. The Semitic Stallion seeks out help in the form of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front, headed by Mohammed Ali (Mario Van Peebles in a great afro), while also falling for the JJL chief's daughter, Esther (Judy Greer). Damian, who has his father brutally murdered by reindeer, Santa (Richard Riehle), is supported by his right-hand man, low-grade hood Tiny Tim (Sean Whalen). It's hard to tell which side Jamal is on--but this foul-mouthed decadent elf is played by Tony Cox, who handles a similar role in the later BAD SANTA. The ultimate battle between good and evil awaits in this riotous Jewxploitation film that never met a stereotype or offensive joke it didn't like. Writer-director Jonathan Kesselman's debut feature film pays homage to SHAFT, SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSS SONG, and other blaxploitation favorites, filled with shootouts, curses, and sex, so leave the children at home. But don't look away for a second or you'll miss another groan-inducing hysterical joke or funny cameo. And the theme song, a takeoff on Isaac Hayes's theme from SHAFT, is a classic.

  • Seasonal, non-"PC"---and hilarious!

    I thought it sounded funny, told some of my friends about it, but now that I've seen it, I'm not sure my women friends would see it in the same light!

  • A Jab at the 3 sons of Noah

    This is a hilarious jab at the 3 sons of Noah ! Although there is a Super Hero in this movie, there is no way it's kids. On a more serious side it shows the petty stereotypes that divide mankind. This movie is a comedy, but it was very thought provoking, as far as how we treat each other. Watching the the interaction between the 3 peoples I thought " What if that was me ? How would I feel ? This might be a great movie to use in a college or university coriculem, but It is not a film for Bible class or a chruch social, you might get X-Communicate !
