You may also notice that there are a lot of C-list actors. Two examples are Gary Busey and Mr. T. This tends to be a rather common phenomenon, to show legitimacy for the Christian film industry. Rather than the reality that these actors have to pay the bills too. A gig is a gig after all.

I feel I should point out that both Gary Busey and Mr. T are evangelicals which probably plays heavily into why they show up in these movies. I had a rather surreal experience around a decade ago when channel surfing and came across Mr. T in a Got Jesus? cutoff t-shirt preaching on television. And sure Gary Busey is Gary Busey, but he's been a born again, Promise Keeper Gary Busey for almost 20 years now.

There's also the 2000 version which feels more like a stage production that's also a pretty interesting interpretation of the story and coaxes performances I prefer out of a bunch of the supporting characters like Simon and the Pharisees.

Though really, you're not going wrong with either, both are well worth a watch, and a solid palate cleanser from most of the things in this thread.

Plus hey, gently caress the police:
