Yeah, the dead body is pretty hilarious, now that you mention it.

The ending in the original isn't really anticlimatic, given the context of 1968. Powerful black man who is a leader struggles and triumphs over EXTREME adversity, then is gunned down. Shades of MLK or Malcolm X. The themes of the film are very 60s.
