YMMV / Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
  • The atheists all pile out of one car, are defeated by Jesus, and then are never seen again.
  • And the Wholesome Crossdresser.
• Critical Dissonance: On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score is 80%, while the audience score is 59%. Additonally, on iMDB the score is a much lower, only 4.9.
• Funny Moments:
  • When Jesus whups the first bunch of Clown Car Atheists, one of the women exclaims the line: "I don't believe it!!"
  • Jesus: "If I'm not back in five minutes, call the Pope."
  • Jesus dropping the woman he was baptizing in the lake.
  • One vampire asking in the most possible serious way: "Where have all our lesbians gone?"
• Genius Bonus: In addition to the several Biblical references and quotes throughout the film, Jesus' final monologue paraphrases the Christian treatise known as the Didache: "If you can bear the whole yoke of the Lord, you'll be perfect. But if you can't, then do what you can."
• Periphery Demographic: A lot of atheists love this movie, especially the hilariously inaccurate portrayal of atheism in the film, for sheer comedy value, as opposed to its nuanced and thoughtful view of Catholicism. Also, many atheists absolutely LOVE Jesus/Religion humor (it's easier laughing at things you don't consider Serious Business, after all).
• So Bad, It's Good: Given the premise, it was probably aiming for this.
• Special Effect Failure: Possibly intentional, as the entire movie is rather silly.
