Malcolm X's widow, Dr. Betty Shabazz, served as a consultant to this film.
The image of Denzel Washington holding the M1 Carbine and peering out the curtains is a direct visual recreation of an iconic photo that appeared in LIFE magazine.
Director Spike Lee removed all mention of Louis Farrakhan from the film after receiving specific, direct threats from him.
Denzel Washington put up his salary to get this film made.
Initially, Spike Lee requested $33 million for this film, a reasonable sum considering its size and scope, but much more than his previous budgets. Because Lee's five previous films combined had grossed less than $100 million domestically, Warner Bros. offered $20 million for a two-hour fifteen-minute film, plus $8 million from Largo Entertainment for the foreign rights. When the film went $5 million over budget, Lee kicked in most of his salary, but the financiers shut down post-production. Lee went public with his battles, and raised funds from celebrity friends, including Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan and Bill Cosby, to regain control of the project. After a positive screening of a rough cut, Warner Bros. kicked in more funds.
"Malcolm X: We were discussing the disciples. What color were they? Chaplain Gill: Well, I don't think we know that for certain. Malcolm X: But they were Hebrews, were they not? Chaplain Gill: That's right. Malcolm X: As was Jesus. Jesus was also a Hebrew. Chaplain Gill: Why don't you just ask your question. Malcolm X: What color were the original Hebrews? Chaplain Gill: I have told you - that we don't know that for certain. Malcolm X: Then you can't believe for certain - that Jesus was white. Chaplain Gill: Just - just a moment. Just a moment. God is white. [pointing to a painting of a white Jesus hanging on the wall] Chaplain Gill: Isn't it obvious? Malcolm X: Well, that [nodding to the painting] Malcolm X: is obvious, but we don't know if it's obvious that God is white. The honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that Jesus did not have blond hair and blue eyes. The honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the images of Jesus that are on prison walls and churches throughout the world are not historically correct; because, history teaches us that Jesus was born in a region where the people had color. There's proof in the very Bible that you've asked us to read in Revelations, first chapter, verses 14 and 15, that Jesus had hair like wool and feet the color of brass. Chaplain Gill: Just - just what're you saying? Malcolm X: l'm not saying anything. l'm proving to you that Jesus was *not*, and I quote one of my lndian brothers here, he was not a paleface. Amen."
"[Witnessing Malcolm's control over a mob] Captain Green: That's too much power for one man to have."
