The hebrew Hammer – OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Synopsis A Jewxploitation spoof in the vein of “Shaft” and “Austin Powers”, The Hebrew Hammer is the story of Mordechai (ADAM GOLDBERG), a badass Orthodox Jew hired by the Jewish Justice League after discovering that Santa’s psychotic son (ANDY DICK)-who has seized control of the North Pole after staging a coup with the help of a bloodthirsty reindeer, Blitzen-has plans to eradicate Hanukkah as part of a nefarious scheme to be the only holiday icon at winter time. The Hammer joins forces with Esther (JUDY GREER), the gorgeous and dangerous daughter of the world’s top Jewish leader, and his friend Mohammed (MARIO VAN PEEBLES), head of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front who fears Santa may go after Kwanzaa next, to topple the evil Santa and save Hanukkah for future generations. Written by Jonathan Kesselman, The Hebrew Hammer is his feature film directorial debut.


Production Notes:

The Hebrew Hammer had its world premiere at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
