I saw the trailer years ago and it’s so bonkers that it doesn’t feel real! The “star” is a tall skinny Jesus lookalike with a name that sounds like Wana Gwana The trailer shows all kinds of carousing set to a disco beat. Jesus and his impossibly glam gang doing preposterous dance steps in m the desert! Please help if you can, it’s driving me nuts!
Help me find the name/ trailer of late 70s/Early 80s Italian Jesus Christ Superstar Rip-Off!

I'm usually good at tracking down stuff like this but you have me stumped. I have been reminded that when JCS became a hit there were many imitations, rip-offs, homages and parodies. I wonder if its something you saw from Italian television? Or even a commercial or something?

Omg, for years my best friend has insisted something like this existed...but with Sammy Davis, Jr. in it? Any idea what this might be? She thought SDJ was in JCS, but he definitely wasn’t so it must have been something else, maybe the same thing you are thinking of, OP?

[R2] for the win. Do you know how many sleepless nights I've had because I couldn't figure out what this dam movie was called?
LOL THANK YOU

[R3] All I can think of is that Sammy Davis Jr. played a preacher/pimp in the Sweet Charity movie musical a year or so before Jesus Christ Superstar. Similar vibe.

Whoever decided Awana Gana had "Star Quality" should be boiled in oil.
