background
Muñoz Cardona originally planned a long film titled Once Upon a Time in Jerusalem to the Fist of Jesus alongside the other Fist of Jesus short films The Blind Man , Helaings , Canaan Weddings , The First Miracle and Joshua and the Fist of Jesus DVD as Teaser should act. However, a crowdfunding campaign launched for the feature film brought in too little capital, so the project was initially postponed. On the DVD of the short film, in addition to a trailer of the project, canceled and botched scenes and a making-of can be seen.
In October 2014, KISS Ltd. released a PC computer game under the name Fist of Jesus - The Gloody Gospel of Judas .

The game received mostly good reviews on metacritic.com.
On April 30, 2015, Fist of Jesus was released in German dubbing by Illusions Unltd. Films on DVD and BluRay in which Jesus was spoken by Thomas Nero Wolff .
