The Hurricane (1999 film)
The Hurricane is a 1999 biographical film directed by Norman Jewison, and starring Denzel Washington as Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a former middleweight boxer who was convicted for a triple homicide in a bar in Paterson, New Jersey. The script was adapted by Armyan Bernstein and Dan Gordon from Carter's autobiography The Sixteenth Round: From Number 1 Contender To #45472 (published in 1974) and the book Lazarus and the Hurricane: The Freeing of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (published in 1991), by Sam Chaiton and Terry Swinton. The film depicts Carter's arrest, his life in prison and how he was freed by the love and compassion of a teenager from Brooklyn named Lesra Martin and his Canadian foster family.
The film received positive reviews, but has been criticized for inaccuracies by some media outlets and participants in Carter's trials.
Plot
The film tells the story of middleweight boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, whose conviction for a Paterson, New Jersey triple murder was set aside after he had spent nearly 20 years in prison. Narrating Carter's life, the film concentrates on the period between 1966 and 1985. It describes his fight against the conviction for triple murder and how he copes with nearly twenty years in prison.
Hurricane (cocktail)
The hurricane is a sweet alcoholic drink made with rum, fruit juice, and syrup or grenadine. It is one of many popular drinks served in New Orleans.
The creation of this passion fruit–colored relative of a daiquiri is credited to New Orleans tavern owner Pat O'Brien. The bar allegedly started as a speakeasy called Mr. O'Brien's Club Tipperary and the password was "storm's brewin'."
In the 1940s, he needed to create a new drink to help him get rid of all of the less-popular rum that local distributors forced him to buy before he could get a few cases of more popular liquors such as scotch and other whiskeys. He poured the concoction into hurricane lamp–shaped glasses and gave it away to sailors.
The drink caught on, and it has been a mainstay in the French Quarter ever since. It is more commonly served in a disposable plastic cup, as New Orleans laws permit drinking in public and leaving a bar with a drink, but they prohibit public drinking from glass containers.
The hurricane cocktail is made differently on the islands of the Bahamas. The drink is composed of various measures of coffee liqueur, 151 rum, Irish cream, and Grand Marnier. It's commonly found in the downtown bars of Nassau.

Hurricane
(Intro: not sung by BOA)
God's gon' set this world on fire
God's gonna set this world on fire one of these days Hallelujah
God's gonna set this world on fiiiire
Gonna set this world on fire one of these days
(Opening - sung)
And there's no earthly way to know it
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're growing
Or which way the wind is flowing
(Chorus - sung)
Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a-blowing
There's no knowing where we're going, it's a hurricane.
Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a-blowing
There's no knowing where we're going, it's a hurricane.
(Verse One - sung)
Not a speck of light is showing
So the dangerous keep growing
All the flames of hell are blowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
(Chorus)
(Verse Two - sung)
Yes the danger must be growing
Cause the hookers they keep on hoeing
And they're certainly not showing
Any sign that they are slowing
(Chorus)
(instrumental and ad libs to end)
"For those listeners who didn't feel that
