Description:
Jumpstarting the much-neglected subgenre of "Jewxploitation" (along the lines of 1970's blaxploitation movies like Shaft, Coffy and Dolemite), this is the story of Mordechai (Goldberg), a young vigilant Orthodox Jew "superhero detective" who is recruited by the Jewish Justice League to team up with Esther (Greer), the daughter of the JJL's leader (Coyote), to stop the evil plans of Damien (Dick), the son of Santa (Riehle), to eradicate Hanukkah from calendars forever, so that Christmas will never again have any competition (with an African-American hero, Mohammed, played by Mario Van Peebles, helping out in case Santa goes after Kwanzaa next).
