Halle Berry, Whitney Houston, Robin Givens
Halle Berry, Whitney Houston, Robin Givens, Pam Grier and Janet Jackson were all in the running for the role of Tina Turner. It was Whitney Houston who was actually offered/received the role, but had to decline due to imminent maternity. Jenifer Lewis, who plays Tina's mother in this film, originally auditioned to play Tina Turner. Lewis is only two years older than Angela Bassett, who plays Tina.
Charlie Murphy, brother of comedian Eddie Murphy, auditioned for the role of Ike Turner. Laurence Fishburne turned down the role of Ike Turner five times, saying he didn't want to portray someone so cruel. When he learned that Angela Bassett had won the role of Tina Turner, he changed his mind. Both Fishburne and Bassett were previously seen together in the John Singleton film Boyz N The Hood. In 2006's Akeelah and the Bee and the stage play Fences, the acting duo starred together again for the first time since this film.
All of the Ike & Tina Turner songs produced by Ike that were used in the film were newly re-recorded versions featuring Tina Turner covering her own songs. On "Proud Mary", Laurence Fishburne sings Ike Turner's parts. For Tina Turner's solo recordings, the original masters were used. The only Ike & Tina Turner song not re-recorded was the Phil Spector-produced epic "River Deep - Mountain High".
In his autobiography Taking Back My Name, Ike Turner claims the movie damaged his reputation tremendously and denies many of the scenes depicted. He claimed there was no truth in him beating and raping Tina in their home recording studio as depicted in the film. He also denies confronting her with a pistol backstage, a scene depicted in the film, but not in Tina's own autobiography "I, Tina".
Angela Bassett was injured while filming the first spousal abuse sequence. She fell off the back of a high-rise sofa, put her hands out to reduce the impact, and suffered a hairline fracture of her right hand. She only tried the stunt fall once, and footage leading up to the mishap appears in the film.
Actress Vanessa Bell Calloway, who plays the fictional character of "Jackie", (the friend and former Ikette who shares Buddhism with Tina) was wary of actually chanting the Buddhist words because of her strong Christian faith. So, director Brian Gibson allowed her to form the words with her lips silently during taping and added the words with a voice double in post-production.
Laurence Fishburne was very protective of Angela Bassett during filming. One example of this was when the cast and crew of the film were sometimes forced to work twenty four hour days (the studio was anxious for the film's release to coincide with Tina Turner's world tour), Bassett nearly fell alseep while driving to the studio. Fishburne demanded that she be given a chauffeur. Another instance is when he told the director, Brian Gibson, that he was willing to give only two takes of the infamous recording studio rape scene. Fishburne was not willing to put Bassett through the trauma that multiple takes might bring, simply for the sake of film-making.
[edit] Inaccuracies
The song "Proud Mary" was written in late 1968 and recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival for the album Bayou Country, which was released in early 1969. The Ike and Tina Turner version of the song was recorded in late 1970 and became a top ten hit in early 1971. The couple did not sing that song in 1968, although the film shows the couple singing the song in three different outfits, makeup, hairstyle, and years (1968, 1971, and 1974).
In a scene dated 1968, Ike and Tina open for the Rolling Stones, doing "Proud Mary." The Stones didn't do any concerts in 1968; Ike and Tina opened for them in 1969.
The births of Turner's two children were inaccurate in the movie. She is depicted having two children by Ike Turner, when in reality her first child (who was later adopted by Ike when he and Tina were married) was by Raymond Hill in 1958. In the movie her first child was born in 1960 and shows Ike Turner as the father. Also, the movie portrays Ike Jr. and Michael to be the oldest of the four boys, when in real life Craig was the oldest of the four boys, followed by Ike Jr. and Michael (Ike's children with Lorraine Taylor) and then Ronnie Turner, Ike and Tina's only biological child together.
A theater marquee announces a 1960 show starring "Otis Redding, Martha and the Vandellas, Ike and Tina Turner." The Vandellas were known as The Del-Phis until 1962. Otis Redding became a solo act the same year. When Ike and Tina are in the dressing room of the Apollo in 1960, Ike is drinking from a blue and white paper coffee cup with the famous Greek design. That design was introduced in 1963 by the Sherri Cup Company.
