Synopsis:
With more than 600 impious subtitles and minus heaps of violence and miracles, this godsploitation edit breathes new life into the story of Jesus's death.
Intentions:
Through the magic of subtitling, Jesus's last hours are retold from a skeptical perspective with Dungeons & Dragons sensibility, dashes of absurdity, and plenty of questions. This ain't your grandma's messianic tale.
Change List:
Added: - More than 600 new subtitles which tell an alternate story - Custom end credits Removed: - Miraculous ear reattachment and its aftermath - A touch of priestly violence - Judas’s return of payment (too late, dude) - Some of the devil children scenes - Mary’s telepathic communion with incarcerated Jesus - The visit to King Herod’s court - Heaps of violence and sadism - Demonic midget, awesome though he is - Crown of thorns being smacked into place - Centurions spitting on Jesus - Mary and Mary Magdalene’s janitorial services - Flashback stoning of a hottie - Much of the cross walk and related torment - Young Jesus tumbling, helicopter mom - The sympathetic lady who shows off Jesus’s bloody facial print - The outrage of Simon of Cyrene - Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John arriving at Golgotha - Nail hammering - Shoulder dislocation - More hammering - The floating crucifix miracle (some miracle; Jesus still dies) - Much of the cross-raising scene and the accompanying triumphant music - Soldiers enjoying a diversion - Jesus receiving moisture - Earthquake, temple rift, holy lance scene, Pharisees freaking out - Jesus takedown and the motherly camera staredown - Resurrection and the accompanying triumphant music.
