Recap:
Velocipastor is like the child of love of Bruce Banner and Frank Castle: after his parents are murdered, pastor Doug Jones goes to mourn in China where he is bitten by a radioactive artifact. From now on he HULKS into a Velocipastor who PUNISHES the evildoers. And that’s only the first 15 minutes of the movie. He kills the murderer of his parents in the confessional, a hooker that he has saved persuades him to become a freelance vigilante, his pastor friend wants him exorcised, a bunch of (chinese?) ninjas have an evil plan to drive people into the arms of the clergy, and Doug’s brother shows up.
I like to say that when you have neither the budget nor the skills to make an actual movie, you can still go for a silly comedy. Of course, many filmmakers do just that, and of course the results often are, well, a little underwhelming. Still I say that this is the right thing to do, because a failed movie helps nobody, while a substandard trash comedy can still be loved by stoners and/or nerds. This is why I was confident when I watched this movie, because how bad could it get?
Actually this one is very good! Yes, this one is cheap, literally. One minute into the movie they substitute the VFX of a car on fire with the words “VFX: Car on fire”, and that of course is a bold move. From this point it could go down quite rapidly, but it doesn’t. The movie keeps its level quite steadily, the filmmakers know what they’re doing, taking all these movie tropes over the top without ruining them. I am not going to praise this as the best movie ever, those who do this are obviously either stoners or hipsters, but full of postmodern irony in any case. What I do say however that this is a very good movie and definitely worth watching.
(What I would like to know, though: why is the hero called Doug Jones? In real life Doug Jones is an actor/mime who often works for Guillermo del Toro, like in the Hellboy movies or in El laberinto Del Fauno/Pan’s Labyrinth.)
(Even more important: according to imdb this is a 75min movie. So why is the YouTube edit both 70min AND age restricted?)
