1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic |
2 | ** Much like everything else, the score ''is'' trying to be cheesy, but there are some legitimately gorgeous moments throughout. |
3 | ** "Go Jesus! Go Jesus, bro!" |
4 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: While Santa Christ was convincing Rick to convert his followers, Santa Christ laughs only for him to double-over and cough-up a whole candy cane and then awkwardly gives it to Rick. It is ''not'' a pleasant moment. [[spoiler:Subverted, as Rick waking up ''with'' the candy cane cements to him that the experience was real]]. |
5 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: |
6 | ** Whilst Rick is bitching about his lot in life and how nobody has it worse, an inadvertently triggered Carlos mutters "They didn't even put in a stop sign..." as Rick carries on. |
7 | ** At the end, Rick sees spectral forms of [[spoiler:God and Santa Christ]] a la ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi,'' abruptly joined by [[spoiler:his brother Willy]], smiling and cheering him on. Rick looks over and sees [[spoiler:his brother lying dead on the table with the Christ Chicken Sandwich still in his mouth]]. It's the way everyone takes it in stride that really sells the moment. |
8 | * DontShootTheMessage: Creator/BradJones has made it clear that the object of parody here is Christian ''propaganda'' films, not the religion itself. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Didn't stop the Dove Foundation from rating it zero doves regardless]]. |
9 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
10 | ** In his [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Cinema Snob]] review of ''Film/ImNotAshamed'', Brad was amusingly surprised to discover that ''Jesus, Bro!'' had borrowed the same line from ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt'' as that [[Creator/PureFlixEntertainment Pure Flix]] film, and even did so in a similar context (an actual stage). |
11 | ---> '''Rachel Joy Scott:''' ''[in I'm Not Ashamed]'' Good idea, even though the whole world is my stage. |
12 | ---> '''Santa Christ:''' ''[in Jesus, Bro!]'' Well, if the whole world's a stage... why not Heaven? |
13 | ** The film also seems like it could be a beat-for-beat parody of the Creator/KevinSorbo film ''Film/{{Let There Be Light|2017}}'', where an atheist has a near-death experience, goes to Heaven, and comes back as a Christian -- except that Brad's film actually came ''first'', something that he repeatedly notes (and mocks) in his ''Cinema Snob'' review of Sorbo's movie. |
14 | * NarmCharm: Despite the effect of [[spoiler:the [=YouTube=] neckbeard spontaneously combusting]] looking [[SpecialEffectsFailure rather obvious]], both the producer and cast commentary burst into laughter when watching that scene. |
15 | * OneSceneWonder: Zach Lavoy as the park ranger and Sarah Gobble as God are standouts. |
16 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: While film does have a lot of effort put into its sets, its lighting and its cinematography (''especially'' considering it's low budget), the effects shot of [[spoiler:the random neckbearded Website/YouTube commenter who suffers from a prayer-induced spontaneous combustion]] does not do justice to what is supposed to be happening (on the other hand, most of the Christian films this one is mocking are low-budget affairs, with lots of this Trope whenever actual effects are needed, so it fits right in). |
