That's Henry Maske. Hopefully he is not as boring an actor as he was a boxer.

A movie is made about Schmeling in Germany by a German director. Big surprise there.

Jake steals the show everywhere he is at:

YouTube - The Way It Was - Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta look back on their rivalry 2/3

YouTube - Mike Tyson joins David Brenner on his late night talk show, Nightlife Pt. 2

That Tyson Lamotta video clip is very cool.

Don't you think it is at least a little sad that Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis are virtually forgotten by the mainstream...? While guys like LaMotta have been immortalized by the silver screen?

Besides, Robinson and Louis both led amazing lives.

I honestly do think that if both guys were radical black power so-and-so's, they'd have had a few movies made at this point. Though that is a different subject, I guess.

My opinion, Uwe Boll is a terrible director with a history of turning good games, into bad movies.

Dear god almighty. Uwe Boll. The dude said he'll stop making movies if a petition gets a milion signatures. then after a few weeks more than 200.000 people signed and he pussed out...here's his response..
YouTube - Uwe Boll's Response
sorry the original video is down, but this here will make it as well

btw. anyone that does not understand german and/or know maske: this is ridiculously bad. maske is an idiot and not an actor.

This movie is going to suck monster cawk. You can quote me on that. This is the same guy that challenges people to fights for saying his movies suck. He also funds all his movies. Blizzard literally laughed and mocked him when he said he wanted to make the World of Warcraft movie.

I would if you properly understood what you're discussing. As has been pointed out, this is a German-language film funded with German money (that would be Euros these days), starring Germans and directed by a German telling the story of a German boxer who was a contender for Heavywieght Champion of the World.

And being a German-language film, I'd hardly call this "mainstream".

Now, somebody out there tell me in what way racism is involved in that.

If I made a movie with home funding about Les Darcy, would I be accused of racism for not making films about black foreigners?

While guys like LaMotta have been immortalized by the silver screen?

Right, to use my previous logic: Raging Bull, a film starring an Italian-American, directed by another Italian-American about a third Italian-American...are we seeing a pattern here.

If you want a Sugar Ray biopic, e-mail Spike and ask him where he's been the last 20 years...Ali, directed by a white man, Hurricane, directed by a white man (from Canada)...

Besides, Robinson and Louis both led amazing lives.

Hmm, maybe you should go here...

Joe and Max (2002) (TV)

But none of that really matters, not really, not when Uwe Boll is going to butcher the life of a former European Heavyweight Champion and contender to the World Championship...

If you thought Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich made bad movies, they ain't got nothin' on Uwe Boll. I mean, he makes Michael Winner's last dozen movies look classy...

Couldn't any other German director have got a hard-on for Max? ANY other German director?

It's just too bad that this garbage director along with some former boxers as actors (never works) will make a movie about Schmeling. One could make a great movie about him.

[KOQ24]

Boll ist one of the worst directors (and douchebags) around.
Max Schmeling definately deserves better.
