When We Were Kings (1996)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 88m
Director: Leon Gast
Cast: Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Don King, Norman Mailer, Spike Lee
Synopsis:
Documentary surrounding the October 1974 'rumble in the jungle' fight in Zaïre when Ali challenged World Heavyweight champion Foreman and, contrary to expectations, won.
Review:
Overdue look at an extraordinarily charismatic sportsman and his motives in bringing the fight, together with the whole machine that went with it. It would seem that the fight could at least have been shown in its entirety, however.
