Daily Dose of Awesome: Dead Alive

I watched a review a while back that featured a clip from a movie where a priest declares that he "kicks ass for the Lord".  Intrigued by this little sound byte, I went to YouTube.  I figured I'd find a 3 second video that featured only said line, but instead, I found this.









Now you're probably thinking, "David, doesn't this offend your Christian sensibilities?".  You'd think that, but no, it's just too glorious.  It's irreverent to be sure, as it goes against the traditional sage-like and avuncular priests that you might be used to, but he's fighting off zombies with advanced kung-fu.  I'm OK with that.

The clip comes from a movie called "Brain Dead" (directed by Peter Jackson interestingly enough), although in the US, they changed it to "Dead Alive".  I guess people thought the previous title was offensive.  It doesn't really matter.  The point is that this clip alone sold me on the movie.  Honestly, two seconds after I first saw this fight sequence in its entirety, I went to Amazon and put it on my Wish List.

I really can't wait to see the rest of this movie as it looks like a blast.
