I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this almost exact premise as a fake trailer inside a comedy movie, where it’s supposed to be something so absurd that it couldn’t ever be made. Well, jokes on them!

I could swear they weren’t the only ones to do some variation on it, but I might be misremembering…

Boy does this look lousy.
Oh, I’m sure there are others. I just had that on bootleg vhs as a kid, so it’s basically with me all the time now.

Was going to post exactly that. It’s a brilliant film that has now become an annual watch in our household.

david harbour was made for this part. i actually am looking forward to this, even though action movies are not my usual jam these days.

I’ve always wanted someone to make a Santa movie where he’s more of a robust action hero than a jolly fat man; indeed, Harbour was tailor made for such a role. But this one looks a bit too brutal for my delicate sensibilities. If only they’d dialed back the blood and killing instead of leaning hard into it. To each their own, though. Peace and goodwill to all.

I know Mel Gibson is a pretty crappy version of a yooman, but Fatman wasn’t the worst movie ever.
Does he beat up Sexy Krampus?
