Urantia Although fiction may use real people and real events along with or instead of imaginary characters, my view is that it crosses the line and becomes an egregious act of slanderous defamation and calumnious denigration when it deliberately distorts the reality of a historically prominent figure and maliciously misrepresents the nature and character of that person. So, for example, to portray a known-to-be-non-violent person such as Jesus of Nazareth as being some kung-fu warrior who inflicts bodily harm upon others does way more than cross that line that ignores the reality of Jesus...it tries to form that line into another bloody cross and nail Him to it all over again! Although non-violent, Jesus is certainly no cowardly wimp. And not all students of His teachings are gonna just sit back and turn the other cheek so to speak while movie-makers merrily mock Him like He is some kind of circus clown or prophet puppet fashioned solely for their amusement! Woe unto thee, ye ungodly perpetrators of this cosmic crime, an evil attack against God and All Beings Holy and Divine! Woe unto thee, you mischievously wicked malcontents who peddle your dirty little damnation deed perhaps inspired by some demonically-flavored Satan-seed! Woe unto thee, ye blinded by darkness fools who squirm like slothful worms in the thick mud of night, trembling like broken twigs in the wind when confronted by the God of Life and Light! So to sum up this movie in just three words: Slander. Blasphemy. Sacrilege. To sum up Jesus in three words: I will not even attempt that one. There are no words adequate enough to even partially describe His gracious nature and charismatic personality. But to know Him is to love Him. And to love Him is to defend Him when others spit in His Face and trample all over His offers of mercy and grace.

bmcollier-1 It's obvious that a lot of love went into this film. The weird cheap production actually added to it. I can't say I've ever gone in for B-movies before but I thought this one was brilliant.Highlights for me included Mary Magnum, the good Transvestite (!) and the entrance of Santos. In fact, just Santos in general, he was excellent.As someone else mentioned, the actor playing Jesus Christ is actually very good. I loved the way that Jesus was originally called into action by the punk priest whilst apparently baptising people. The writers clearly knew their bible-stories, apparently - and so a great deal of the film comes across as intelligent and well thought-out, cf. the sermon at the end.All in all, there are so many fantastic ideas and pleasant surprises in this film. Really enjoyable.

Evil_Fred too be honest after 5 minutes of watching i was thinking - wow, this was made in 2000/2001 but they somehow fashioned it in one of the most low budget 70 's B movie . grind-house productions I've ever seen. it was quite an eye fest , and to be honest quite a feat as well. And since i love B movies and grind-house flicks, i enjoyed myself quite a bit during JCVH.if you enjoy low budget movies (and i mean low low budget) with a zing and some original scripting i totally recommend this one!Enjoy - .evil Fred

As_Cold_As_Ice This is one of the most entertaining movies I have seen since Citizen Toxie. How can a short hair and ear-ringed J.C. fighting off lesbian vampires not be funny? The above is basically the plot, but all sorts of silly stuff happens. I mean, one minute a hairy transvestite is helping him out of the gutter, then his ice cream talks him, then Mexican wrestling hero Santo arrives by plane out of nowhere, all in the space of a couple of minutes. There are also random songs, blind scat singers with bad teeth and all out brawls. There is never a moment to stop and actually comprehend what is happening at any one moment.As I mentioned, there are plenty of fight scenes through JC: VH. While definitely not up to the standards of the usual HK fare, they are still amusing considering the low budget and the fact that it took two years to shoot. The makers also appear to be wrestling fans, judging by the ineptly executed wrestling movies, and the appearance of Santo, who I doubt anyone outside of wrestling fans would have heard of.Sure, the acting was terrible, as were the special effects, but I didn't stop laughing the entire time, which is an instant thumbs up from me.7/10
