Product Description

Product Description

THE HEBREW HAMMER stars Adam Goldberg in the title role of this holiday farce as a handsome Orthodox stud and man of action who is called upon to save Hanukkah. When Santa Claus’ evil son Damian (Dick) is pushed over the edge by his father’s liberal policies, he murders the Christian patriarch and, stepping into the vacated role, launches a nefarious worldwide campaign to eradicate the Jewish Holiday. The Hammer joins forces with Esther (Greer), the gorgeous daughter of the chief of the Jewish Justice League to topple Damian and save Hanukkah for future generations.

Amazon.com

A cross between a Kosher Shaft and Airplane!'s shameless gag machine, The Hebrew Hammer is an unabashed burlesque about a streetwise Jewish private detective (a "circumcised dick" in his own parlance) named Mordechai Jefferson Carver (Adam Goldberg). Once ostracized by Gentile children, Mordechai has become a much-feared defender of Jews, so extreme that even the militant Jewish Justice League tosses him out. Until, that is, JJL leader Chief Bloomenbergansteinhal (Peter Coyote) and his lovely daughter Esther (Judy Greer) recruit him to take on the wicked Damien (Andy Dick), a snippy anti-Semite who murders Santa Claus in order to turn Christmas into a Jew-hating holiday. Written and directed by Jonathan Kesselman, this sporadically funny feature is based on a funkier short (included on this DVD) of the same name. The cast is better than the generally obvious material, and Nora Dunn (as Mordechai's mother) and Mario Van Peebles are very good in supporting roles. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest cult movies ever
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2013

Movies so stupid they're hilarious: "The Hebrew Hammer" is at the top of the list. Aside from a few very vulgar moments with the Hammer's mother (note to Hollywood script writers: it's possible to satirize a Jewish mother without being quite that gross), this movie is bound to make you giggle. Hammer (in Hebrew, "Maccabee") is drafted, more or less against his will, to take on Santa Claus's evil son who is out to stamp out both Hanukkah and Kwanzaa so that Christmas will reign supreme as THE winter holiday. To achieve his plan, the Evil Son starts by making some of the reindeer kill his father, Santa, so he can take over the North Pole.

An emergency meeting of a top level secret and screamingly funny Jewish organization decides the only remedy to saving Hanukkah is to get the Hammer back in action. The meeting chairman ("General Bloomenbergensteinenthal") is a side-splitting version of Israeli General Moshe Dayan, eye patch and all, played superbly by Peter Coyote. But this chairman has a beautiful daughter, predictably named Esther (Judy Greer). She will help the Hammer save Hanukkah, along with Mario Van Peebles, who plays Kwanzaa's main man. Why is help even needed? Well, the Hammer goes into an anxiety attack every time somebody tries to tell him how important this mission is. Then there's Evil Santa's secret weapon, which he plans to unleash upon The Hammer. But I won't give it away, except to say that it's outrageously funny, even if occasionally the humor descends into unneeded vulgarity. Most Americans know enough generally about Judaism to be able to get most of the amusing references in the film, but even if you don't, this one's a Don't Miss. If you like deliberately-stupid-but-hilarious cult movies, that is, and who doesn't?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical...even for a non-Jew.
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022

My wife and I both have studied religions of the world in college and are active in ecumenical efforts. So we "got" more jokes than some people will, and my wife got more than I did.

Lots of poking fun with kindness at Jewish household culture, a good poking fun at the pressures of the Christmas season on non-Christians. Great if you can take a joke when it is aimed at you!

Not suitable for children...NOT a Disney movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hebrew Hammer: A superhero worthy of his own franchise
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
I just cannot understand for the life of me how everyone doesn't know the Hebrew Hammer; or how this movie has not become a holiday staple at everyone's home yet. It is in my house! You do not need to be jewish to find this movie absolutely hilarious. It had us laughing from even before it started and posted the dedication: "This movie is dedicated to all the jewish brothers and sisters that had enough of the gentile." And then from the first shot of the creepy, cartoony jesus statue... It's just laughs after laughs. I mean the leader of the Jewish Justice League is called Chief Bloomanbergensteinenthal. You can't get more genius than that.

I do think the movie could used a little more action though. Especially towards the end in tyring to capture Santa Claus. But overall its just a solid film.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Mel Brooks and Keenan Ivory Wayans had a kid, It would be the Hebrew Hammer
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2010

This is a hysterically funny movie any time of the year but is especially funny during the holiday season (much like Office Space is funny, but even funnier if you work in an office). I could not stop laughing and busting a gut for the whole duration the first time I saw it. And that was when Comedy Central censored it. When they re-broadcast it the next year, they did so after midnight and left everything in. I laughed even harder.

Following in the footsteps of Brooks, Wayans and the Zucker brothers, NO STEREOTYPE was left unused. If you are woefully politically correct or your liberal tendencies will not allow you to laugh at anything marginally offensive, this is not for you.

But for those of you with a sense of humor... You'll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laughs, borderline between PG13 and R.
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

Perfectly Silly in the tradition of Mel Brooks. Lots of ethnic jokes made in the spirit of good friends making fun of each other or Phyllis Diller making fun of herself. It's rated R, but we really saw it as more of a PG13. One scene had blood splatter. There was no more nudity than you would see at the beach, but there was foreplay which faded to black and mention of a specific sexual act. Words you might hear from Chris Rock, Samuel L Jackson or George Carlin were used moderately. Characters said some words that are offensive if used by a person outside the specific group: "Gimp," "K---," "N---," usually affectionately, except when the clear villain used them. Characters are largely one-dimensional, but this is not intended to be literature; it's goofy comedy.

It's a Jewish-themed action-comedy.

It's dumb and funny, but more dumb than funny.

I used to have an earlier release of this on DVD that did not look as good, nor was it the full widescreen print (this one IS widescreen).

If this looks like something you'd like, it probably is. If not, then not.

Hope this info helps.
