Trivia:
After "The Brave One' won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, independent producer Edward Nassour sued its producers the King Brothers over plagiarism. It seems the script for "The Brave One' bore an uncanny resemblance to that for "Ring Around Saturn," a stop-motion animation feature Nassour had been working on with a script written by Paul Rader. The King Brothers settled the dispute by paying out to Nassour the sum of $750,000 in an out-of-court settlement. It turned out that blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo had written the script for "The Brave One" using the pseudonym of Robert Rich. moreFAQ

This has been one of my ten favorite films of all time. I showed a copy of it to the children of friends in Guadalajara. None of the children had ever seen or heard of it. They all loved it, and cheered with joy.
The children asked if they could invite all their friends in for another showing of "The Brave One," so, soon, the entire room was full. Standing room only.
Adults and kids alike saw the faith, hope and inspiration in this outstanding movie.
Some teachers show the film in classes studying other cultures, and it always goes over very big, as it should.
No remake can ever come close to this version..
