Its always been a controversial movie since when we opened.
Proud of it and the work everyone did on it.
But even the controversial nature ofTropic Thunderis being misremembered.
The intellectual-disability controversy reemerged in 2018, when snowboarderShawn White wore aSimple Jackcostumeon Halloween.
White apologized after being called out by groups including the Special Olympics.
It was always meant to make fun of actors trying to do anything to win awards.
