He travels to China on a spiritual journey and comes across ninjas searching for an artifact said to turn people into the "Dragon Warrior".

After becoming infected by the artifact, Doug begins having nightmares and he gets a kiss from Father Stewart and then goes out into the forest late at night as he transforms into a dinosaur.

Enraged, Doug proceeds to kill Mermaid and, now convinced about her plan to fight crime, returns to Carol needing her assistance.

In a flashback, the audience learns that Father Stewart saw a war buddy shot while off guard and that his love interest was killed in an accident.

Father Stewart wakes up in a camp of drug-dealing Christian ninjas, led by Wei Chan who plans to sell highly addictive cocaine to people and then cut off supplies.

Doug, no longer a priest and with a billion-dollar bounty on his head, plans on traveling the world with Carol and continuing their original idea of killing off criminals.

Brendan Steere came up with the idea in 2010 while he was attending the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, after his phone autocorrected "Velociraptor" to "Veloci Pastor".

[1] As a class project, Steere made a short film of fake exploitation trailers which included The VelociPastor.

Steere stated, "The movie is made to be fun, and anybody looking for deeper meaning in the man-turns-into-a-dinosaur genre is probably on a fool's errand."

[2][3] After being shown at various film festivals, the crew signed with sales agency Cyfuno Ventures who then brokered a deal with Wild Eye Releasing in 2018.

"[7] Amanda Sink from The Hollywood Outsider said: "Albeit no cinematic achievement, The VelociPastor is a hysterically ludicrous horror-comedy that knows its absurdity and has no qualms inviting you in.
