Salvation! (also known as Salvation!: Have You Said Your Prayers Today?) is a 1987 film by Beth B, starring Viggo Mortensen, Exene Cervenka and Stephen McHattie. The film is a parody of televangelism released right after the real-life Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart scandals.[1]

The film was released on VHS, but not as yet on DVD.

The film tagline was "SEX. POWER. MONEY. All in the name of God."

Plot

McHattie plays Reverend Randall, a Staten Island-based televangelist who has been bilking his flock and secretly watches pornography while he is rehearsing his sermons in his stately home. Cervenka plays Rhonda Stample, a born again Christian. After Rhonda's non-believer husband, Jerome (Viggo Mortensen), loses his factory job, he and two cousins enlist Rhonda in a plot to entrap Rev. Randall in a sex scandal and blackmail him.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack album was released on Factory Benelux/Les Disques du Crépuscule (catalogue TWI-774)[2] and Factory Australasia (catalogue FACT-182)[3] in February 1988.
