Corrected entry: When Ali has a fights with his third wife, you can clearly see the ocean from the windows. They are both supposed to be in Zaire, which is a landlocked country.
Ali (2001)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Will Smith, Jon Voight, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Bruce McGill, Mario Van Peebles, Ron Silver
Factual error: The poem Ali quotes in the movie before the Frazier fight, "Ali comes out to meet Frazier, Frazier starts to retreat, If he goes back any further, He'll end up in a ringside seat..." was in fact the poem he used before the first Liston fight and began, "Clay comes out to meet Liston, Liston starts to retreat..." and ends with the lines, "Never did they think, When they laid down their money, That they would witness, The total eclipse of the Sonny". Poor effort.
Drew 'Bundini' Brown: Free ain't easy. Free is real. And real's a motherfucker.
Trivia: James Toney, Michael Bentt, Alfred Cole, Charles Shufford and Damien 'Bolo' Wills who all play opponents of Ali are - or were - real life boxers.
Question: What's the name of the song playing at the end, when Ali defeats Foreman, and also when Ali is running through Zaire?
Answer: The song at the end is called Tomorrow by sauf keita. Its on the soundtrack and is the same one when Ali is running through zaire.

Correction: Kinshasa, (former) Zaire's capital, is situated next to the Congo stream. What you see is this river, not the ocean.
