Trivia / The Hebrew Hammer

• Awesome, Dear Boy: When he was first given the script, Adam Goldberg opened to a random page, read the line "Shabbat shalom, motherfuckers!" and immediately agreed to do the part on the sole basis of saying that one line.
• Box Office Bomb: Budget: $1,300,000, Gross USA: $19,539.
• Development Hell: Goldberg has been wanting to make a sequel but it never got off the ground.
• Completely Different Title:
  • Greece: Hammer the Exterminator.
  • Portugal: The Super Stallion.
  • Russia: Slaughter Hammer.
• Irony as She Is Cast:
  • Adam Goldberg (Hammer) is actually half Jewish, on his father's side (and Jewish tradition only counts someone as born Jewish if their mother is a Jew).
  • Judy Greer (Esther) was raised Catholic.
• What Could Have Been: Adam Sandler, David Schwimmer and Ben Stiller were considered for the lead role.
