Line 61:
* [[A Taste of the Lash]]: Boy howdy! Jesus gets this in spades.
* [[Truth in Television]]: While this particular case and film is not without its [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|issues]], crucifixion was a common punishment in Ancient Rome. If any of them were less cruel its still within shades of black.
* [[Up to Eleven]]: The level of [[Gorn]] in the film startled even many seasoned moviegoers; [[Roger Ebert]] said in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130127062532/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040224/REVIEWS/402240301/1023%2F20040224%2FREVIEWS%2F402240301%2F1023 his review], "This is the most violent film I have ever seen."
* [[You Bastard]]: The Virgin Mary's unblinking stare (also a [[Heroic BSOD]]) directly into the camera over her [[Pietà Plagiarism|son's corpse]] smacks of this trope. After all "Jesus died for our sins." Minor Easter eggs such as the fact that Mel's hands are the ones nailing Jesus to the cross are there to add symbolism for this point.
