The Great White Hype

As if! The sleazy, “fixed” world of professional boxing is the target of this on-the-mark satire about a powerful black boxing promoter (Samuel Jackson, channeling the ever-loquacious Don King) who’s searching for the ultimate drawing card (and box office payout) — a championship fight with a white contender. Co-stars Jeff Goldblum, Peter Berg, Damon Wayans and Jon Lovitz. Directed by Reginald Hudlin.
