Gibson Nailed in "Hebrew Hammer" Sequel

Mel Gibson gets blown away outside Moonshadows restaurant in Malibu, and it's coming soon to a theater near you.

TMZ has obtained the opening sequence of the script for the sequel to "The Hebrew Hammer," a 2003 Jewish blaxploitation comedy starring Adam Goldberg. The sequel, called "The Hebrew Hammer 2: Hammer vs. Hitler," depicts a very drunk Mel Gibson spilling out of Moonshadows, two blondes on each arm and a bottle of Irish whiskey in hand. Gibson then obnoxiously berates the valets, leaps into his Lexus and speeds off, screaming obscenities about the Jews. Apprehended by a policeman down the road from Moonshadows, Gibson's anti-Semitic tirade is cut short when the cop -- "The Hebrew Hammer" -- puts a bullet in Gibson's head, spraying a bloody Star of David onto the windshield of his Lexus.

In the new film, written by director John Kesselman, "The Hebrew Hammer" is now married and enjoying the good life in suburbia. But the Hammer is forced to dust off his pimpy, black leather couture to confront a new menace: A time-traveling Hitler, intent on altering key moments in Jewish history -- to the detriment of the Jews

A tug-of-war has erupted over Kesselman's sequel. Insiders tell TMZ the pitch has sparked interest from Hollywood execs, in no small measure because of its hilarious-but-controversial opening scene.

Kesselman, in an interview with TMZ, explained his unorthodox-but-still-Orthodox script this way: "Young Jews love 'The Hebrew Hammer.' I think if Mel wants to truly extend an olive branch to the Jewish Community as a whole, his on-screen death would go a long way in accomplishing that goal."

Currently, Ed Pressman's ContentFilm is in negotiations to finance the project, but New Line Cinema has also expressed interest in the comedy as well. It's currently being shopped by attorney Eric Feig, Kesselman's rep at the Beverly Hills law firm of Rosen Feig Golland & Lunn.

Comedy Central Films' original "Hebrew Hammer" bombed in theaters, but went on to become a cult classic that airs regularly on cable's Comedy Central and sells briskly on DVD.

That is hilarious. I didn't even know a sequel was coming out. I just hope it's as good as the first!

reply

I'm all for it as long as Adam Goldberg reprises his role as the Hammer. Nobody else could play it!

Would you like to see my mask?

reply

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. If he doesn't reprise I don't want to see it.

Typical racist jewish comedy. Although it is not surprising as the jews are the biggest racist in the world.

reply

Yes, because making fun of one person is making fun of a race. moron. yeah, stereotyping jews isn't in and of itself racist. what other typical racit jewish comedies are there?

reply

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh man... Belinispleen is a doosh.

The whole Gibson thing sounds funny, it sounds like a bad idea. Not that Gibson's comments wern't offensive. First of all shooting someone in the head is a proper penalty for going on a drunken tirade? Second, the writer said that if Gibson let is go it would be "extending an olive branch to the Jewish commuity" give me a break! The only way that could be close to true is if Gibson made fun of himself in the movie personally. All this is saying to the viewer is "Hey, look what we think of Mel Gibson, isn't he an a**hole!" It could only make things worse, of course, the last Hammer did so poorly in theaters i'm not sure another would get made.

and about belinispleen's comments. They were stupid and racist. I don't know if you could really call a single group of people "most racist" except for maybe the KKK or nazis. But there is a bit of truth in it in that minorities often get a free pass to make fun of more dominant cultures, like it's ok for black comedians to make fun of white people and for everyone to make fun of catholics but never ok the other way around. Which is what i'm sure he was trying to say, in his own little racist bigot-y way.

YES! THEY ARE MAKING A SQUAL! Ace.
