	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: The Great White Hype
		TGWH is a sharp, nasty-tongued satire of the professional sport called Prize Fighting.
		He remembers that the highest grossing fight in history was a fl man versus a white man. So he sets out to recreate this racial conflict, seeking out the only man who has ever beaten the champ.
		So, being the nice white Jewish boy that he is, Cranky headed right for his skin-folk and Crankified 'em.

	The Great White Hype review (1996) Samuel L. Jackson - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		The Great White Hype is a broad satire of the boxing industry, particularly in how publicity and marketing govern the suitability of one's rise to the top more so than sheer talent.
		That white contender is none other than rock group singer Terry Conklin (Berg, Cop Land), who happens to be the only person to ever defeat Roper in a contest, albeit an amateur match when they were teenagers.
		The Great White Hype is amiable in its own fashion, but lacks that true bite that marks a great satire.

	'The Great White Hype' (R)
		Watching Jackson is the principal plea sure of "The Great White Hype," a comic film set in the exaggerated world of heavyweight boxing.
		His solution is to find a white opponent for James "The Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayans, who has found the perfect character for his limited range) to gin up white America's interest in a title fight.
		The only white contenders are glass-jawed and shaped like potatoes so the Reverend searches out Terry Conklin (played with slack-jawed blankness by the slack-jawed and blank Peter Berg), the only man to beat Roper, back in his amateur days.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Great White Hype
		The ad campaign for THE GREAT WHITE HYPE touts it as a downright hilarious satire on the world of boxing, but then you wouldn't expect the studioheads to come out and say their movie is just another mediocre comedy we'll all forget about in a few years.
		Sultan also has to duck a fighter who is actually interested in a serious fight for the heavyweight title (enough so that he pulls a gun on the Sultan at one point) and bribe an investigative journalist (Jeff Goldblum) who's trying to expose his corruption.
		The ending of THE GREAT WHITE HYPE is thoroughly disappointing, and I'm not saying that out of a deep-seated racial prejudice.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Great White Hype
		This is the conclusion drawn by one of the protagonists of THE GREAT WHITE HYPE, 1996 satire directed by Reginald Hudlin.
		The plot of THE GREAT WHITE HYPE touches some potentially stingy issues like the race relations in contemporary America and some plot elements and characters have a striking resemblance to some real life personalities and situations (Don King, Mike Tyson).
		Then they would realise that the biggest joke in THE GREAT WHITE HYPE was on them.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - The Great White Hype (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		He goes straight for the throat in a tirade against professional boxing, but unfortunately, his satire and wit are stale and shoddy.
		The byline for The Great White Hype is: 'If you can't find the perfect contender, make one.' And that's exactly what Samuel L. Jackson - as boxing mogul Reverend Fred Sultan - sets out to do.
		The subplots are never really focused upon - they drop out when they become too much of an inconvenience - and the main plot's one chance is lost in the final half-hour of the movie (when the result of the match between Roper and Conklin is decided).

		Despite the hype, Lee Epstein, a law professor at Washington University, said she was not surprised that Bush did not pick a woman.

		“There were great women who fit that mold, but there certainly weren’t only women, and that was never the main (issue),” she said.

		He finds his hope in "Irish" Terry Conklin (Peter Berg), an amateur boxer-turned Cleveland rock singer, who was the only man to KO Roper during his amateur days.
		Sultan turns up the hype, blythely sidestepping a crusading journalist out to topple him (Jeff Goldblum), and an incompetent publicity aide (Jon Lovitz), creating the "Match of the Century".

	DVDFanatic Review: Great White Hype
		The Great White Hype is a satirical glimpse into the world of boxing that somehow manages to lose its satiric edge with each new turn of the plot.
		The boxing world of The Great White Hype is not all that convincing when push comes to shove.
		The Great White Hype is by no means a bad movie, though it does have its fair share of flaws.

		To understand this you really should watch the movie: "The Great White Hype." Since some how many people I know have not seen this movie then I will explain.
		Everyone thinks they they have a great program (which they do have great players), but when it comes down to it; they have never beaten a ranked opponent.
		They are the Great White Hype, everyone says the will win but when its comes time to prove themselves they can't play with the BCS conferences.

	"Best Screenwriting Magazine"--LA Times
		Intermittently more sitcom than satire, The Great White Hype is the story of boxing promoter Reverend Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson), who theorizes that the best way to get rich is to pit current champ James "The Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayans) against a Great White Hope.
		From Bull Durham to White Men Can't Jump, co- writer Shelton can now add boxing to his cache of sports knowledge (a cache he returned to in 1999's lesser pugilistic 'play, Play It to the Bone).
		A strong familiarity with this flamboyant world allows for a vivid canvas on which sharply drawn characters mouth off endlessly to one another; that's a good thing, because the players and dialogue are often so witty, we forget that not much happens in the story.

	Amazon.com: The Great White Hype: DVD: Samuel L. Jackson,Jeff Goldblum,Peter Berg,Corbin Bernsen,Jon Lovitz,Cheech ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Great White Hype is now available to download for $3.99 from Amazon Unbox.
		While sharp and funny, it's never quite clear what the point of it all is. Director Reginald Hudlin (Boomerang) isn't strong enough or skilled enough as a filmmaker to make this level of satire leap off the screen; fortunately, he's got powerful allies in Jackson, Berg, Wayans, Jeff Goldblum, and the rest of the cast.
		Okay the DVD itself isn't so great with only minimal features but why I give this 4 stars is because I waited FOREVER for this thing to finally be released.

		A movie that borrows half it's stylistic impulse from Blaxploitation flicks, half from spaghetti westerns--it will leave you nostalgic for both and unsatisfied with the combo.
		Samuel Jackson plays an unscrupulous boxing promoter who pits a white underdog against the fl heavyweight champ in order to stir up a racist frenzy of promotion.
		That's the whole plot--the rest is padding, and there's plenty of it.

		The name "Meg" is short for Megalodon, a prehistoric Great White Shark that was to put it simply, very big.

	Movie Info for The Great White Hype on MSN Movies
		While the top-ranked contender for Roper's title is Marvin Shabazz (Michael Jace), Sultan isn't too keen on the idea of Shabazz fighting Roper -- it seems that both fighters are fl, and Sultan's figures show that mixed race matches stir up a lot more media attention and pay-per-view customers.
		Eager to find a white challenger for Roper, Sultan digs up Terry Conklin (Peter Berg), who won a Golden Gloves fight against Roper many years ago but is now out of the game and fronting a rock band called Massive Head Wound.
		Suddenly Sultan realizes that Roper might just lose the piece-of-cake fight he's so carefully arranged, while journalist Mitchell Kane (Jeff Goldblum) smells a rat in Conklin's sudden rise to ranking status.

		When interest in boxing wanes, Reverend Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson), an unscrupulous boxing promoter, brings back the only man (Peter Berg)) ever to beat the current heavyweight champ (Damon Wayans) as an amateur.
		With everything destined to go wrong for the Sultan, this movie features the dark side of boxing with a healthy sense of (no pun intended) fl humour.
		The video and audio quality of this movie is exceptional and is featured in a presentation ratio of 1.85:1 16:9 enhanced that is exceptionally clear on our 82cm Philips widescreen television with crystal clear audio of Dolby Digital 5.1.

		I don't know who directed Great White Hype..but someone needed to talk that director about plot development..and firm completion..
		Samule Jackson played a great role as someone who I guess could be likened to boxing promoter Don King...Jamie Foxx was cool and so was Damon Wayans...The big problem here was they started out with a good premise...to find a white boxer to take on the champ..The humor started off prettry strong..
		I will say this however, one did get hyped on the white boxer...
