    Plot Outline: In Brooklyn, a youth from an Orthodox Jewish community is lured into becoming an Ecstasy dealer by his pal who has tied to an Israel drug cartel.
    Plot: Set in 1999, "Holy Rollers" follows the journey of a young Hasidic Jew, Sam Gold, from an Orthodox Brooklyn community who innocently gets lured into the world of ecstasy drug trafficking by a friend, Barak Zimmerman, with ties to Jackie Solomon, an Israeli drug dealer. Story is inspired by actual events in the 1990s when Hasidim were recruited as mules to smuggle drugs into the United States.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:

    Continuity: Virgil puts his cigar in his mouth before catching the ice cream from McHale, but in the next shot the cigar is in his hand.

    Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • Ernest Borgnine, who plays Cobra in the movie, played McHale in the original TV series.
    • The song "Working On My Tan" can be heard towards the beginning of the movie. It was sung by Curry, Tim, who plays Vladikov.
    • According to his book "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor", Bruce Campbell mentioned that McHales crew were rarely given specific instructions in many scenes other than to follow Tom Arnold around. He and French Stewart were not given any direction at all for their sequence in the talent show, so they scripted out a vaudeville act using Naval and nautical terms all by themselves. Despite this, most of their sequence ended up playing in the background while the camera focused on Arnold and Debra Messing.
