In the real events and in the original film, there is a black Labrador named Nigger who plays a modest role as mascot including having his name used as the codeword for the mission. When the 1954 film was released in the United States, the dog's name was dubbed to "Trigger" to avoid offense. American audiences were left to know the dog's real name only as a catalyst for going insane in your hotel room and attacking groupies. Jackson still reportedly doesn't know if he'll change it or not.
Should Nigger's name be changed?
Yes: | 13 (23.6%) | |
No: | 42 (76.4%) | |
Total: | 55 |
