The Great White Hype

In this satirical comedy, the world of professional boxing is turned on its head when a promoter, played by Samuel L. Jackson, orchestrates a mismatched fight to boost ratings and profits. The film features a strong ensemble cast, including Jeff Goldblum and Damon Wayans, who bring to life the absurdity and manipulation behind the scenes of the sport. Directed by Reginald Hudlin, the movie cleverly critiques the commercialization of boxing and the media’s role in shaping public perception. While it didn’t receive any major awards, it remains a notable entry in the sports comedy genre. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
