What film is this?? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Thinking about christmas movies, theres one I remember seeing when I was younger, but I can't remember the name.
The only scene I can remember is set at Santa's place in the north pole, or where ever.
Everyone is busy working and making toys when a load of masked guys on ski-doo's attack them, and santa starts
handing out machine guns to the elves and they have a big gun fight.

Is this actually a scene from a film i saw? Or was it just a crazy dream i had?

No, it's a scene from a movie alright. Lee Majors was the leader of the group attacking Santa Claus....

hmm, thinking thinking...checking IMDb....

I think it was "Scrooged" starring Bill Murray

EDIT:: Yeah...the more I think about it, the more sure I am. Bill Murray plays an updated version of Scrooge who is a heartless TV exec. He makes a horrible action movie about commandos attacking Santa Claus, I think the movie in-a-movie was called "The Day the Reindeer Died." The scene you are describing was a promo for said movie.

Along a similar vein

I once saw part of a stop-motion animated Christmas spoof where Santa's workshop is invaded by a bunch of gangsters and there is a shoot out. Lots of cursing and puppets getting shot.

Definitely involved the line "who the fuck am I? who the fuck are you?"

(Edit: looking for the name, if someone knows it)

Mad TV did that claymation Rudolph that was a take off on Apocalypse Now, if that's what you're thinking of.

dont think so. I saw it on Boston on a quasi-public access channel. It was too raw to be Mad TV
