the funny thing is THIS BAD movie is way better than the Will Smith Version. This movie is much more watchable than the boring, dull Michael Mann version
I read "The Greatest: My Own Story" by Ali which is his autobiography, these events are based off the book, and this his real life.
These clips don't show it but he took his wife (1st wife Sonji) into the bathroom after she had no pants on. The party was hosted by Sugar Ray Robinson out foreign. When Ali and his wife are in the bathroom SRR asks is there anything wrong, Ali said no. SRR pursued the matter more and Ali said "you just a middleweight, i'm a heavyweight, you wanna fight?"
I saw this movie on british tv [itv] in the early 1980's, i stayed up late to watch this and i had to get up for school the next day! i can remeber my grandmother nagging me to go to bed because it was late but i wanted to see the end, i wish i could remember the exact date! does anyone out there remember? it would be great and would mean a lot to me, thank you!!
Ali was the best boxer of all times. He loved his people. He didnt step and fetchit. He did good in this movie. But they should have gotten a younger actor to play him.
My mother knew how much I loved this man and let me stay up late when this movie and "Freedom Road" came on. There has never been a better hero for a child.
Any spot the continuity error around 3:55? Just watch how he sports a different black bow tie when he comes up the stairs and into the room. The one he wore when he was outside was a little thinner. Ali will always be The Greatest!
@007rocksalotmann He won a gold medal in the olympics they show that in the movie but he had management problems and problems with the draft board refusing induction into the army
@MDIS I don't agree. He betrayed Brother Minister Malcolm X. Ali knew the truth about Elijah Mohammad. Ali slept around also, so, he might have been a great boxer, arguably the best, but treating Joe Frazier after Joe went to the White House to fight to get Ali's boxing license, gave him money, and Ali treated him the way he did. Sure, people said that he did it for the publicity, but most people, blacks included (Jim Brown, for one...) thought Ali was being mean and cruel. Champ, yes, no hero.
yeah, his parkinsons disease symptoms had just started showing up at the time....slurred speech etc. but that doesn't make him imbecilic does it ? nothing imbecilic about his acting. and if i remember correctly he was still able to win a world title after this....so it wasn't a downward slide..
stfu if you know whats good for you shut up. I'm not Muslim but I respect this man for throwing away the years of his prime for what he believes in. This man inspires me to train hard and keep going and not never to let people stomp me down or life to crush me. This man is The Greatest Of All Time, Muhammad Ali.
I blow my own damn horn cuz im free -Muhammad Ali
