Ali

Corrected entry: When Ali has a fights with his third wife, you can clearly see the ocean from the windows. They are both supposed to be in Zaire, which is a landlocked country.

Correction: Kinshasa, (former) Zaire's capital, is situated next to the Congo stream. What you see is this river, not the ocean.

Factual error: The poem Ali quotes in the movie before the Frazier fight, "Ali comes out to meet Frazier, Frazier starts to retreat, If he goes back any further, He'll end up in a ringside seat..." was in fact the poem he used before the first Liston fight and began, "Clay comes out to meet Liston, Liston starts to retreat..." and ends with the lines, "Never did they think, When they laid down their money, That they would witness, The total eclipse of the Sonny". Poor effort.
