I love this clip! I heard a radio show just this morning: The 20 Best Movie Endings. Nostagia, why does it feel so good...?

<SPAN class="Title">The Hollywood Version:</SPAN>
<EM>The Hurricane</EM> is the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer boasting great talent, a really sweet nickname, and a badass Bob Dylan song he inspired. The movie tells us the story of how Hurricane was a promising middleweight who was falsely accused and convicted of a triple homicide, derailing his boxing career but making him prime to be the subject of a great protest song.

<SPAN class="Title">In reality ...</SPAN>
First, there is a scene in the film where Carter beats the shit out of an inferior white boxer (Joey Giardello) only to lose when blatantly racist judges award the fight to the white man. In real life, Carter lost the fight so badly <A href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0DE5DB153BF931A25750C0A9669C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1" target="c" linkindex="24" set="yes">that the real Giardello sued the filmmakers over the scene</A> and got a nice settlement out of it.
