History Film / TwelveAngryMen1997

** If you watch closely, you'll notice that by the time the jury discusses the angle of the knife wound, Juror #7 has gotten much quieter than before, and he's paying more attention. He is very quiet and attentive after that. At one point, he makes a wisecrack, but here he has a purpose: he doesn't see Juror #9's point regarding the witness's eyesight, and he wants him to get to the point. When Juror #9 makes his point, #7 is listening very closely. Finally, when the jury reaches a verdict and are preparing to leave, he tosses the baseball tickets on the table, even though he still has time to make the game; the game means nothing to him now.

* MalcolmXerox: Juror #10 is reimagined here as an AngryBlackMan who is prejudiced against Latinos. When Juror #5 (also African-American) changes his verdict to Not Guilty, #10 is quick to accuse him of selling out to the white man.

* NiceHat: Juror #10 wears a kufi.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Juror #10 maintains his racist worldview become being shamed by 11 strangers who he has no connection to is unlikely to make a lasting impact on most people.

* AngryBlackMan: Played absolutely straight with Juror #10, although he's also extremely racist towards Hispanic people.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike in the original film, Juror #10 here feels no remorse or shame after he has exposed his racism to the other jurors. He openly states that he doesn't care about the law or the trial: he just wants to put a Hispanic kid behind bars. Afterwards, he states he couldn't care less if the kid is guilty or not. He votes not guilty just to go along. Unlike #7, who actually pulls his head out of his ass and becomes a decent juror, and #3, who is a TragicVillain, #10 has no redeeming traits. He's just a racist CardCarryingVillain.

* HiddenDepths: It looks like [[spoiler: Juror #7 switches his vote to "Not Guilty" just to go along with the crowd and get out of there, as he did in the 1957 version.]] But when Juror #11 [[WhatTheHellHero berates him for this]] and demands he give an honest answer for [[spoiler: switching his vote, Juror #7 says, "I don't think he's guilty," [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in a quiet, matter-of-fact voice.]] Then he looks at the tickets to the baseball game he didn't want to miss, clearly ashamed of himself.]]

* HollywoodLaw: The judge in the original mentions that in the event the accused is found guilty, that it is automatically a death sentence (as it was until 1963 in New York--the film came out in 1957), and that he would not entertain any recommendations for mercy. It wasn't up to him--he had no choice about it. The judge in the remake echoes this, stating that she will not consider pleas for leniency should the jury find the defendant guilty. However, at that time, like now, the jurors decide what sentence the defendant should get too in capital cases after considering all the various aggravating vs. mitigating factors, following US Supreme Court rulings which struck down most of the capital punishment laws in the US. Without such a recommendation for death, the judge can't sentence the defendant to it. Given that change, this is nonsensical and legally meaningless (though it could mislead jurors, which thus might get any death sentence they passed overturned).

* RaceLift: The original featured 12 white men. This movie diversifies the racial makeup of the jury with one Latino juror (#11) and four African Americans (#1, #2, #5, and #10). [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]: In 1954, an all-white, all-male jury would be the norm, but in 1997 such a jury would be very unusual, given that having all the jurors be of the same race could be used as grounds for an appeal later.

* MalcolmXerox: Juror #10.
