Film: Santa With Muscles

"I was pretty stunned to see the infamous "Santa rape" scene in the Warrior Christmas Special but that would not be the first nor the last time Santa took it full in the ass from the pro wrestling industry..."

—The Spoony One, opening his review of the film.

Santa With Muscles is a 1996 comedy about a wealthy, greedy health food guru named Blake (played by Hulk Hogan) who winds up on the run from the cops when a paintball session goes wildly awry. Disguising himself as a Mall Santa, a blow to the head leaves him with amnesia — and thanks to an "elf" who can use some, and perhaps his, money, he is subsequently convinced that he's the real Santa. From there, Blake decides to save an orphanage from supervillain Ebner Frost and his strange henchmen, who want the land the building is on for an unusual reason...

Examples:

Amnesiac Liar
An Ass Kicking Christmas
Badass Santa
Easy Amnesia: Blake gets hit on the head once and forgets everything. Another blow to the head restores his memory.
He's Got a Weapon!: "Look out! He's got a candy cane!" during Blake-as-Santa's battle with mall thieves.
Identity Amnesia
Made of Explodium: The crystals in the caverns below the orphanage — although they apparently switch to being made of implodium at the end of the film, whereby they seem to form some sort of vortex that sucks the orphanage into it.
- It also needs to be pointed out that while we're told that the crystals are horribly unstable and will blow up at the slightest touch, at the climax Black and Ebner have a Sword Fight with them, smashing the highly explosive crystals together for several minutes with absolutely no effect at all.
Terrified of Germs: Ebner Frost, the Big Bad, to the point where his Mooks spray every room he walks into with disinfectant first.
