Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, the Hebrew Hammer is portrayed to be extremely religious. However, when he is in bed with Esther, he has many tattoos. Why would this be if Judaism prohibits tattoos?
The Hebrew Hammer (2003)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jonathan Kesselman
Starring: Judy Greer, Mario Van Peebles, Andy Dick, Adam Goldberg
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when the Hebrew Hammer is using his Jewish guilt on Santa, Santa is holding his gun. When the shot cuts to behind Santa, he waves his hands in the air and both hands are empty. When the shot cuts back, he's holding the gun again.
Mordechai Jefferson Carver: Hey, you don't wanna pick up this penny?
Mohammed Ali Paula Abdul Rahim: Nooooooooo.
Trivia: The main characters in this film are called Mordechai and Esther, which are the name of two heroes who saved the Jews in Persia from their enemies in the Book of Esther. However, they appear in the Purim story, while this film takes place at Hanukkah.

Correction: I don't think his religiousness should to be taken too seriously - he wouldn't even have touched Esther (let alone slept with her), if he was that relious. Furthermore, at one point in the movie, he puts on tefillin (phylactries) and says, "I don't know what to say," another indication that he's not that religious.
