Trivia:
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. moreGoofs:

I really loved Ike and Tina Turner. then I got to love Tina Turner. I remember I was so sad way back when they split up but,,... after seeing this movie SO SO,,, many years later, I see why. Maybe Ike was a driving force for the group, but Tina made it happen and as far as I can tell, Ike didn't like that he was then along for the ride... and couldn't accept it. It is Too bad he didn't know/or understand at the time what was or would've been best for for his kids and himself. Famous or not, til people understand it's FAMILY that matters, nothing will ever be right. I know this is a Hollywood-ish type-style movie, but I'm proud Tina did what she has done for herself, and I'm glad I got to grow up Knowing Both Ike and Tina, and then Tina Turner.... This is...history in the making.
