Jessy Christ on a Celluloid Cross

How about The Mission? Dude on a cross going over a waterfall is pretty tough to miss. :wink:

Oh, and more recently, there’s that bit in Life of David Gale where we get an overhead shot of the title martyr lying in the yard with his arms outstretched. Gag.

I feel obliged at this point to quote from an (unproduced) screenplay I co-wrote a long time ago. Steve and the Colonel are pinned down in a firefight against the Mysterious Forces of the Evil Conspiracy when Steve’s hands start bleeding a la stigmata:

STEVE:
Aaaa! I’m hit!

COLONEL:
(firing his pistol wildly)
Lemme see

STEVE SHOWS THE COLONEL HIS BLEEDING HANDS

COLONEL:
You’re not hit. That’s what you call your basic gratuitous Christ imagry.

STEVE:
What does it mean?

COLONEL:
I don’t know, but it doesn’t look good for you.
