The Great White Hype
If you can't find the perfect contender....make one.
Directed by Reginald Hudlin
Produced by Atman Entertainment, Fred Berner Films
A lighthearted sports comedy that satirizes boxing promotion and racial hype through the underdog story of an unlikely contender.
When the champ's promoter, Rev. Sultan, decides something new is needed to boost the marketability of the boxing matches, he searches and finds the only man to ever beat the champ. The problem is that he isn't a boxer anymore and he's white. However, once Rev. Sultan convinces him to fight, he goes into heavy training while the confident champ takes it easy and falls out of shape.
