Fist of Jesus is a 2012 Spanish splatter comedy short film about Jesus Christ in a zombie apocalypse.
During a sermon, Jesus learns from Jacob that Jacob's son Lazarus has died. Jesus promises Jacob to resurrect him. Lazarus is resurrected, but as a zombie. He attacks Jacob and Jesus can only barely escape alongside Judas. The zombie epidemic spreads rapidly, as Jesus and Judas run from the zombie hordes, which now include the Roman occupying forces and a gang of cowboys. Judas hangs himself out of panic, but is successfully resurrected by Jesus.
When the pair are surrounded by zombies, Jesus asks Judas for a weapon, receiving only a fish. Jesus then multiplies the fish, which he and Judas use to kill the zombies. After a bloody battle, Judas laments that they were unable to evangelize anyone. Jesus reassures him by saying that they have at least sent many souls to Heaven.
The plot of Fist of Jesus and the accompanying short films are peppered with visual references to special effects from other great horror and splatter films.
