Revealing mistake: At the pool party, when Ike loses his temper and knocks Tina to the floor, you hear her screaming as he lands 3 punches. When he raises his fists, there's no blood on his fingers. Despite after he drags her into the bedroom, her nose is covered in blood.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Tina Turner is running away from Ike she has to cross a freeway. If you look closely you will see that she has on high heels then she has on sneakers as she is running across the freeway.
Judge: I want you to be very sure about this. This means you're gonna walk out of here with absolutely nothing.
Tina Turner: Except my name. I'll give up all that other stuff, but only if I get to keep my name. I've worked too hard for it, your honor.
Ike Turner, Sr.: The name is mine. The name got my daddy's blood on it. If she wanna go, she can go wherever she wanna go, but the name stays home.
Trivia: Before being cast as Ike Turner, Laurence Fishburne had turned down the role no less than five times. He eventually changed his mind when he found out that Angela Bassett was given the part of Tina Turner.
