Synopsis

A spoof packed with film references, in-jokes and gags. When Hanukkah comes under threat from Santa's evil son Damian, who wants to make Christmas the only holiday, the Jewish Justice League hire a private detective known as the Hebrew Hammer to save the day. He seeks the help of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front to restore the holiday balance in the ultimate battle between good and evil. A clear homage to the blaxploitation genre, this film includes more cameos and stereotypes than you would think possible.
