Factual error: When they tour the UK with The Rolling Stones the film states 1968, when in reality it was 1966. They then perform "Proud Mary", which Creedence Clearwater Revival did not release originally until 1969, and wasn't covered and didn't become a hit for Ike and Tina Turner until 1971.

1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Brian Gibson
Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Angela Bassett, Demetrice Cheathon, Dororthy Thorton, RaeVen Kelly, Virginia Capers
Continuity mistake: When Tina first becomes a Buddhist, they show a scene of her chanting while Ike is in the other room turning up the volume of his stereo to tune her out. Several scenes later (and several years later, according to the subheadings) after Ike and Tina are divorced, they show the same scene of Tina chanting. Her hair and outfit are the same; it's actually the same exact scene.
Grandma Georgiana: Your mama had to go away for a while.
Young Anna Mae Bullock: When is she coming back to get me?
Grandma Georgiana: She ain't, honey. She just ain't.
Trivia: The real Ike Turner, makes a 2 second appearance just after the court sentence granting the couple's divorce. When the character of Ike Turner says, "I GAVE YOU THE NAME", the real Ike Turner is the thin man with the moustache and grey suit who follows Tina Turner's character into the lift.
