Laurence Fishburne turned down the role of Ike Turner five times. When he learned that Angela Bassett had won the role of Tina Turner, he changed his mind.
Laurence Fishburne actually sang Ike Turner's parts.
Angela Bassett lip-synched all of the songs in this movie; Tina Turner sang all the tracks herself. Bassett herself admitted that she can act and dance, but isn't much of a singer.
Angela Bassett recalls meeting Tina Turner for the first time so the singer could see for herself who would be playing her; when Tina appeared, she walked up to Angela, looked her up and down, smiled, and said out loud, "She's perfect!".
In an interview, Tina Turner stated that she wished the film had contained more truth, but the studio felt that the public would not believe everything that actually happened to her.
"Ike Turner, Sr.: $750,000 she's gonna cost me. What I got left, I got... I got... I got... I got some clothes, I got some jewelry. Uh, the rest I got tied up in investments. I ain't got nothing else. [Ike puts on his sunglasses in the courtroom] Judge: Please instruct your client to remove his sunglasses. This is a courtroom. Ike Turner, Sr.: Well, hold on, you don't got to instruct me to do nothing. [Ike removes his sunglasses] Anna's Lawyer: Your Honor, in order to expedite this matter, my client would like to make an oral motion amending her petition for divorce, revoking any financial claims. Judge: I want you to be very sure about this. It means you're going to 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 belongs to me! Judge: Mr. Turner! Ike Turner, Sr.: No, no, no... look here now! [Bailiff puts his hand on Ike's shoulder] Ike Turner, Sr.: Hey, hey, hey... get your hand off me, man! Judge: Mr. Turner... Ike Turner, Sr.: Now look, she want to go, she can go! That's fine! She can go, but the name stays home! [Judge bangs the gavel] Ike Turner, Sr.: The name stays home! Judge: As Mrs. Turner has decided to drop all claims, I hereby grant her divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Mr. Turner will retain all publishing rights, royalties, all real property, clothing, jewelry, and all other assets. Mrs. Turner will retain the use of her stage name. [Judge bangs the gavel]"
"Ike Turner, Sr.: Hey, Anna Mae, where you goin'? I need to get some sleep! Tina Turner: Go straight to hell, Ike!"
