So let's all get together and welcome
him to the stage with a great big hand.
5
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,760
How about it for Sam Cooke?
6
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,640
Before we do anything, we?d like

00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,240

Oh, yeah!

I believe we're gonna have
a goodtime tonight
18
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240
It's good to have somebody
you can twist the night away with
19
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,320
Right now
20
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Oh, yes, it is
21
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800
I said it feels good
when you got somebody
22
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,360
To twist the night away
with right now
23
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,680
- Lord have mercy.
- What you running from, son?
24
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,800
We got a call.
25
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Don't fight the feelin'
Don?t fight the feelin'
26
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,520
Got to feel the feelin' now
Got to feel the feelin'
27
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,920
'Cause it make you groove right
when you feel the feelin'
28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Oh, make me want you now
29
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Got to feel the feelin'
30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,040
'Cause it make you groove right
when you feel the feelin'
31
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Make me want ya
when I got the feelin; baby
32
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,720
So don't fight it
33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,640
No, don?t fight it
34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Baby, just feel it
35
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,920
I'm gonna bust you up.
36
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Beat your ass
like I was your daddy.
37
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,400
I said I'm beginning
to feel allright now
38
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,000
I feel can tell you
about my baby right now
39
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880
I said I feel
you're in the mood right now
40
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,600
I said I feel
you're in the mood
41
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Some times me and my baby
we fuss and fight
42
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240
And my baby leave home
'cause things ain't right
43
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,640
For those of you
who think you came here today...
44
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320
to hear us tell you
like these Negro leaders do...
45
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,880
that your times
will just get better...
46
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,760
that we shall
overcome someday...
47
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,760
I say to you,
you came to the wrong place.
48
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,000
Because your times will never
get better unless you make them better.
49
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Those of you who think you came here
to hear us tell you...
50
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,480
to turn the other cheek
to the brutality of the white man...
51
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,280
and this system of injustice
that's in place right here in America...
52
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
you think you're gonna come here
and hear us tell you...
53
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,520
to go out there and beg
for a place at their lunch counter...
54
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,360
again, I say you came
to the wrong place.
55
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,680
We don't teach you
to turn the other cheek in the South.
56
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
And we don't teach you
to turn the other cheek in the North.
57
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,120
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches you to obey the law...
58
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,840
to Cary yourselves
in a respectable way...
59
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
in a proud
Afro-American way.
60
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,480
But at the same time,
we teach you...
61
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800
that anyone puts
their hand on you...
62
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:54,760
brother, you do your best to see they
don't put their hand on anybody else...
63
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:56,040
again.
64
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,600
Time.
65
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Just like that, Daddy.
66
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Never jump in one place.
Bad for the heart.
67
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,680
Forwards, backwards, sideways.
68
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,560
That's the most important thing.
69
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,280
I'm called Bundini.
70
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Rhymes with Houdini.
He was a Jew too.
71
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,400
Some people call me Fast Black.
Some call me Daddy Mac.
72
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Gave Sugar Ray Robinson
my power for seven years.
73
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520
My voodoo. My magic.
74
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,400
Now Shorty done sent me here
to work for you.
75
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,560
- Who's Shorty?
- I call him Shorty.
76
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,720
Call him Shorty
'cause he like 'em circumcised.
77
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Original people. Like Moses.
And I was a babe in a basket too.
78
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,520
Born on a doorstep with a note
across my chest that read...
79
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,520
"You do the best
you can for him, world. "
80
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
I wanna be your inspiration.
81
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080
Your motivator in your corner.
82
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Can I be in your corner,
young man?
83
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Time!
84
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,960

But listen

00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,920
That ain't all

All you got to do

Be the invisible man
as soon as he swings.

00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Get personal with him.
104
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080
This is important

Till I'm buried
108
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,200
Buried in my grave
109
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,200

You stayed up

You stayed up late at night
118
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,600

119
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,480

Yeah, oh, yeah
125
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,320
Sonny Liston,
you ain't no champ! You a chump!
126
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,440
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
127
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Oh!
Rumble, young man, rumble.
128
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,120
Y'all wanna lose y' all money?
Then you bet it on Sonny.
129
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,920
He know I'm great.
He will fall in eight.
130
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,640
Come on, you big, ugly bear.
I'll whup you right now.
131
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Two-ten and a half.
Two-ten and a half!.
132
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,240
The challenger, Cassius Clay,
two hundred and ten and a half pounds.
133
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
- Man, you sure that's right?
- That's what the weight is.
134
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,360
Old, ugly bear, come on.
Let's go.
135
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,720
You got these folks fooled. I ain't
scared of ya! I ain't scared of ya!
136
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Two hundred and eighteen.
Two hundred and eighteen.
137
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,480
Sonny Liston,
the champion of the world.
138
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,760
Two hundred and eighteen pounds.
139
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,800
- Pounds of what?
- Pounds of ugly.
140
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
That man's so ugly,
when he sweat...
141
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
the sweat run backwards off his forehand
just to stay away from his face.
142
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,920
Come on, you big, ugly bear!
I'll turn you into a rug!
143
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Keep talkin'.
I'm gonna fuck you up.
144
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,000
If you whup me...
145
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,840
I'll crawl out of the ring and take
the first jet airplane out the country.
146
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,920
- Is that a promise, Mr. Clay?
- You'll eat his words first.
147
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,680
- Cassius, you're a 7-1 underdog.
- Liston says he talks with his fists.
148
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,640
- What do you say?
- You scared of him?
149
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,880
I'm gonna give Sonny Liston
talkin' lessons...
150
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,320
boxin' lessons
and fallin' down lessons.
151
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Cassius, are you a black Muslim?
Pat Putnam says in the Miami Herald--
152
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,600
A man's religion is his own business.
What kind of question is that?
153
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,680
- Angelo, tell me--
- Malcolm X was in town, then he left.
154
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Was that so
he wouldn't embarrass you?
155
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,680
- Yeah, Howard?
- Liston doesn't like you.
156
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Really can't stand you.
Says he wants to kill you.
157
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Howard Cosell, you ain't
nothin' but an instigator.
158
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,040
- Man, how you get that way?
- Cassius, now you?re being truculent.
159
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,520
If it's good, I'm that.
160
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400
You next. Soon as I'm done with Sonny
Liston, I'm fightin' Howard Cosell.
161
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Y'all write that down right now.
162
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,520
That's good?
163
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,040
Wanna check that out?
164
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,320
Hey, man, when you get back?
165
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,040
I just got here.
I'm front row, seat seven.
166
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,480
I'll be sittin'
with Mom and Dad.
167
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640
You should've stayed in the first place.
Nobody gotta hide when they're with me.
168
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,960
There's nothing wrong
with being cool, my brother.
169
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,920
He's right.
170
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,000
- ...and challenger, Cassius Clay.
- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
171
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Brought to you
by the City Service Oil Company...
172
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,560
and its dealers
in 37 states and Canada...
173
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,880
known to millions of motorists
for Big Gallon gasoline...
174
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,560
and by new Wildroot,
totally new Wildroot in a new tube...
175
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,520
with a great formula that grooms hair
to look neat and natural, never greasy.
176
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,840
Another boxing milestone
is at hand.
177
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,680
In just a few minutes,
Louisville's Cassius Marcellus Clay...
178
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,760
will be facing
the devastating punching power...
179
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,960
of the heavyweight champion,
Charles "Sonny" Liston.
180
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
...for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
181
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,280
Introducing, on my right--
182
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,120
And now the time has come.
183
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Both challenger and champion
are in the ring.
184
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,960
The heavyweight championship
of the world is on the line.
185
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,680
I fit goes past the first round,
there will be surprises already.
186
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,680
Sonny Liston wrapped in that
tery cloth towel of his...
187
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,320
wrapped around his head
swami fashion...
188
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Looking as malevolent
and baleful as ever.
189
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,400
But this man
is a professional prizefighter.
190
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,440
Make no mistake about it.
191
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,360
I want a clean fight.
192
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,720
When I say break,
stop punching and step back.
193
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,800
Do you have
any questions, champ?
194
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,640
Any questions, challenger?
195
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,320
We're fine.
Touch gloves, gentlemen. Good luck.
196
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,880
Good evening,
sports fans across the nation.
197
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Liston in the white trunks
with the black stripes.
198
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,480
Clay, an inch and a half taller, in
the white trunks with the red stripes--
199
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,680
And Cassius Clay
is sidestepping.
200
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,960
There it is, champ.
Stay on your toes now.
201
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,120
And we can see that the champion
is the aggressor.
202
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,640
There's a shot under the heart.
203
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,720
Cassius Clay slips away.
And now Clay pounds a left.
204
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Another left. A straight jab.
205
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,720
It seems to have stunned him.
And that's the bell.
206
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080
And they're fighting after the bell.
And they're still fighting.
207
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,640
This round is over.
208
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,440
Break it up, ref.
209
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,480
There is no love lost between
the two contenders at this time.
210
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Cassius goes back to his corner.
It's been an amazing round.
211
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,720
You can beat this guy.
212
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,520
I'm still here.
213
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,840
And Sonny Liston
is not taking the stool.
214
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,800
He's anxious to get back
into the challenger's face.
215
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Take it to the body.
Kill the body, the head will follow.
216
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,680
This is a totally different fight
than Liston expected...
217
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,520
and anyone in this arena
will tell you.
218
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,800
There's a long, looping left hand.
Clay's eyes are wide open now.
219
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,320
- Come on, Cass! Move!
- Step back.
220
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,000
- Come on, Cassius!
- Come on, Chi-Chi!
221
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,520
I'm not prognosticating
anything...
222
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
but merely his survival
to this juncture--
223
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Cass, hit him!
224
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Break.
225
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,520
Let him go.
226
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Sonny Liston is hurt.
He's bleeding from his eye.
227
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,440
He's defying the experts early.
228
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,160
We have to take a look at this man and
say he is not in awe of the champion.
229
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,720
He ain't nothin' to me.
And he know it.
230
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,160
This is it now.
231
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,760
Let me have that, John.
232
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,160
And now they're ready.
233
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,640
You gonna knock
the ugly off of him.
234
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,880
That's gonna take a long time,
but you can do it.
235
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,040
There he is. Get him off.
Do your job, ref.
236
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Shake him.
Do your job, ref.
237
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,800
There it is.
238
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Come on, ref.
239
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Break.
240
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960
- There he is.
- Clay slips around and out.
241
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,440
Up against the ropes.
Right above me now.
242
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,840
Too tight. Get in there.
243
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,720
My eyes. There's something in my eyes.
I can't see nothin'.
244
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,840
Come on.
245
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,480
- What's going on?
- Nothin'.
246
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,960
The guy's punchin' on the breaks.
Just take care of it. We're fine.
247
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,200
I can't see nothin', man.
Just go and cut 'em off, Angie.
248
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,960
No, no. You can't fight
with no gloves on.
249
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,640
Just get up. Get up.
Try and do it. Come on.
250
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,040
I can't see, man.
251
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,640
- Come on, Cass!
- Dance!
252
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,960
Liston crouching,
hitting to the body.
253
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,880
It's like he's blinking,
like he doesn't see Liston.
254
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,440
Ref, you gotta doy our job.
255
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Hold it.
256
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Stay away from him, Clay.
Stay away from him.
257
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,960
The champion, you can see,
is the aggressor.
258
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,000
- Get him, Cass!
- Come on, Cass!
259
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,440
- Knock him up!
- Clay looks all done.
260
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,440
Hold on to him!
261
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,160
- Stop it. Stop. Break.
- Knock him up.
262
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Get on him.
Get on him, man.
263
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,040
- You can see him now.
- You go get him, man.
264
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,120
Clay lands a left,
but Liston ducked under it...
265
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,360
and took it high
on the forehead.
266
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,400
It's Clay coming on.
267
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,720
And Liston backs away.
268
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,080
And all the predictions
are going down the drain...
269
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,000
as Liston is listless.
270
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,000
And there's the bell.
271
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,640
We're coming up
to round seven.
272
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,640
Wait a minute!
273
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,440
Liston's not coming out.
274
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,560
The winner and new heavyweight
champion of the world is Cassius Clay.
275
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,520
Eat your words!
Eat your words!
276
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,200
Les, I'm going up into the ring.
Get back.
277
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,640
I'm the greatest thing
ever happened to boxing.
278
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,480
Cassius. Cassius.
279
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,000
I shook up the world!
280
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200
It's a scene of
absolute bedlam in the ring!
281
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,360
I am the greatest.
I'm a bad man. I shook up the world!
282
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,080
Did he ever hurt you?
283
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040
I'm only 22 years old.
I ain't got a mark on my face.
284
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,960
- I must be the greatest.
- And you're pretty.
285
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,880
I must be the greatest.
286
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,080
Wait. Hold on. Hold on one second.
That's Sam Cooke back there.
287
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:07,000
- Come on, Sam Cooke.
- Let Sam Cooke in here.
288
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,840
The greatest rock-and-roll singer,
and I'm the world's greatest boxer.
289
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,360
Hello, Sam.
290
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,000
That mummy's
gonna get him, baby.
291
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,120
- That mummy ain't gonna get him.
- Yeah, he is.
292
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,280
He ain't scared of that mummy.
That mummy too slow to catch anybody.
293
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,720
- What's going on, Sam?
- How you doing, Cassius?
294
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Don't believe that stuff on TV.
Don't listen to him.
295
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:39,160
- Hey, congratulations, Clay.
- Hey, thank you, Jim.
296
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,120
- Hell of a fight.
- You next, man. You next.
297
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,360
- Go ahead and get some food, brother.
- Cassius Clay versus Jim Brown.
298
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Biggest fight in history.
299
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,880
- The mummy only has one eye.
- One eye and a limp.
300
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,440
That mummy's 643 years old.
301
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,360
He can't catch nobody.
Look at him.
302
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,480
You gotta fall down 'cause that's
the only way the mummy could catch you.
303
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,920
Way to go, champ!
304
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,760
- Yeah, you the greatest.
- Thank you, brother. Thank you.
305
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,720
- I'll see your next fight.
- You'll see the next one?
306
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,520
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, you better get there very early.
307
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,480
You better get there very early
'cause that man's going down.
308
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,600
If he talk a little jive,
he's going down in five.
309
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,280
He talk a little more,
I might drop him in four.
310
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,440
If you wanna have more fun,
do it in round one.
311
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Oh, yeah. Hold on.
I'm doing the rhymin'.
312
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,080
The people really look up to you. You
plan on being a champ like Joe Louis?
313
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Well, yeah, I'm gonna be
the people's champ.
314
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,360
Not like Joe Louis.
Well, you know, not exactly.
315
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,760
My name is not Clay.
316
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,280
Clay is the name of the people
that owned my ancestors...
317
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,240
and I no longer wanna be called
by that slave name.
318
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,480
- I am Cassius X.
- Minister Malcolm.
319
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,720
What about the divisions
in the Nation of Islam?
320
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,640
This is the champ's time. I'm here
as a friend to support his victory...
321
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,080
so I have nothing you want.
322
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,040
I'm definitely gonna be
the people's champion...
323
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,440
but I just ain't gonna be the champ
the way you want me to be the champ.
324
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,840
I'm gonna be the champ
the way I wanna be.
325
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,080
...for no home is immune
to termites...
326
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:44,120
no matter how well
it is built or maintained.
327
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,080
- Hey, brother.
- I was leaving.
328
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,280
I saw your light on.
What you doing up at this hour, champ?
329
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:52,960
Oh, man, I'm watching this program
on termites.
330
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,120
And them little itsy-bitsy things is
eatin' these people's whole house down.
331
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Oh, man, look.
332
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,360
I've been invited to speak
at Ibadan University in Nigeria.
333
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000
- You wanna go with me?
- Hey, look, man.
334
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,040
You can have six million termites
in your house and don't even know it...
335
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,920
till you going to get something to eat
and you bust through the floor.
336
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,320
- What'd you say? Where?
- Africa. You been?
337
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:24,240
Africa.
338
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,560
All right, come on.
Let's go.
339
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,440
What is it?
340
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,240
You ever thought
you'd lose it?
341
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,960
I mean, really lose it?
342
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,240
When I was little, I tore out
this picture of Emmett Till.
343
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,160
They put the barbed wire
around his neck...
344
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,240
and strapped him
to that 75-pound cotton gin fan.
345
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,000
And they cut out one of his eyes
'cause he looked at some white lady.
346
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Man.
347
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,640
I couldn't take my eyes to it,
couldn't throw it away.
348
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840
When I heard about those...
349
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,760
four little girls who got bombed
in that Birmingham church...
350
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,440
the prohibitions of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad prevented me...
351
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,680
from speaking
my thoughts in action.
352
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Because Birmingham was part
of the civil rights struggle.
353
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,840
You know, begging for our place
at the white man's table.
354
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,480
But dead children
are dead children.
355
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,920
So the anger I felt
I had to contain.
356
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,720
I locked it up so tight...
357
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640
my muscles seized.
358
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,560
I lost control
over the right side of my body.
359
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,960
My leg gave out.
360
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Right arm gave out.
"I'm having a stroke," I thought.
361
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,160
But I had to hold it in
'cause all I wanted--
362
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,520
Brother, all I wanted to do
was find something and break it.
363
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,640
Break a part--
Break any part of this system...
364
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,760
because you are so provoked
in your heart...
365
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,880
and your spirit
as a human being...
366
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,600
at dead children.
367
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,200
And I could do...
368
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,360
nothing.
369
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,040
Everyone knows
I can't do nothing...
370
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,480
anymore.
371
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,200
So Elijah Muhammad has suspended me
as a minister in the Nation of Islam.
372
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,080
Man...
373
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,600
you can fix that.
374
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
I don't know.
375
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,680
I'll try when we get back.
376
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520
You get some rest, champ.
377
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,440
All right, brother.
378
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,200
Sit.
379
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,520
You know, only after
long service and high merit...
380
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,840
in the spiritual and physical rebirth
of Afro-American people...
381
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,040
is one granted an original name.
382
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,760
But you are special.
383
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,240
A world champion.
384
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,200
So there is a gift
I wish to give you.
385
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,160
From this day forward...
386
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,520
you will be known
as Muhammad Ali.
387
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,800
- What?
- That's right.
388
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,720
You what?
389
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,680
Well, what's wrong with our name?
My name?
390
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,960
We-- We made you.
391
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,440
Ain't nobody made me.
392
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,560
No bow tie-wearin',
Arab-talkin' nigger gonna change that.
393
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,480
Ain't nobody in that ring but me.
I made me.
394
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,960
You don't know who you are.
395
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680
I know who I ain't.
I ain't drinkin'.
396
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,960
I ain't going back on my wife
and for sure I ain't prayin'...
397
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,120
to no blond-haired,
blue-eyed Jesus.
398
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,960
Paintin' those blue-eyed, blond-haired
Jesuses is what put food in you.
399
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,600
- Steak and vegetables on the table.
- It's dinner!
400
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,840
Go ahead.
401
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,200
Go ahead.
402
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,440
Hello?
403
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,760
Here you go, Daddy.
404
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,320
Thank you, baby.
405
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,720
- Yeah?
- Brother Malcolm.
406
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,640
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has given
the Muslim name of Muhammad Ali...
407
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,360
to Cassius X.
408
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,720
Herbert Muhammad has been put
in charge of his training.
409
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,960
He will not be traveling
with you to Africa.
410
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,560
He also asked me
to inform you...
411
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,520
that your suspension
will be extended indefiinitely.
412
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:16,080
Brother Cassius
won't be coming to Africa.
413
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,400
Not with me.
414
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,240
Don't put it off.
415
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,120
We'll be fine.
416
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,360
I will.
417
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,480
I got a little doll
for Atallah.
418
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,560
Really?
419
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,200
Yeah, it?s beautiful.
420
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:48,960
I've got so much
to show the girls when I get back.
421
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,320
- I'm taking alot of pictures.
- Yeah?
422
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Yeah, I got some good stuff
I want to show you.
423
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,520
Are you eating?
424
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960
Well, you're not cooking, so--
425
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,560
- What's going on? Anything?
- Nothing.
426
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,520
He's on the phone,
talking to his wife.
427
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,640
She's having a hard time sleeping,
the baby's kicking a lot...
428
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,920
what are they gonna
name the baby.
429
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,520
I just wake up a couple of times
in the night, but it?s okay.
430
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,880
Would you like to take a seat?
431
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,800
Sure, thank you.
432
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,440
What y'all done did
with the real pilot?
433
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,280
I am the pilot.
He's the copilot.
434
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,200
Here. Sit down, Mr. Clay.
435
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,560
Oh, man.
436
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,400
In Louisville, where I growed up,
they barely let black folks drive buses.
437
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,320
Muhammad!
438
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,280
Hey, brother.
What's going on, man?
439
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,160
- What you doing here?
- I was just going to the airport.
440
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,720
We just got here now.
So where you going?
441
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,680
Liberia.
442
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:46,040
Say hello to Maya Angelou right here
and Ambassador Huang Hua.
443
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,800
And that is Taher Kaid.
He's the ambassador from Algeria.
444
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Oh, man. Where should I go?
I wanna go all over this place.
445
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,040
Go to Algeria.
See Ben Bella.
446
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,240
Then go to see Mecca and Medina.
I just came from there.
447
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,560
Made my seven circuits
around the Kaaba.
448
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,640
I prayed at sunrise. Two million people.
Pilgrims from all over, man.
449
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,720
Dressed the same.
High and low, the same.
450
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,480
Blond-haired, blue-eyed Muslims,
Arabs, Africans, Indonesians.
451
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,480
Seeing brothers just like us,
praying together, it was beautiful.
452
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,480
I drank water
from the well of Zem Zem.
453
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,400
I prayed in the ancient city of Mena.
I prayed on Mount Arafat.
454
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,800
You shouldn't have quarreled
with Elijah Muhammad.
455
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,200
Walking in their footsteps.
456
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,840
All of us together.
457
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,640
You shouldn't have quarreled
with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
458
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,000
What?
459
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,400
You shouldn't have quarreled
with Elijah Muhammad.
460
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Hey, Brother Muhammad,
look here.
461
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,880
Brother Muhammad!
462
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Listen, I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.
463
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,200
Into each life...
464
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,240
a little rain must fall.
465
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,080
And, you know,
every day cannot be sunny.
466
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,720
Every smile is not
a smile of happiness.
467
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,200
And every tear that is shed--
468
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:49,400
Sonji, Sonji, Sonji.
469
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,040
- What you keep saying my name for?
- 'Cause I love it, girl.
470
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,400
-How long you been working with Herbert?
-About a year.
471
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,240
I sell Muhammad Speaks
over the phone.
472
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,960
- What kind of name is that?
- My father named me after Sonja Henie.
473
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,920
What's your father do?
474
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,920
He was shot in a poker game
when I was two, so he don't do nothing.
475
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,320
And my mother died
when I was eleven.
476
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,120
- Who raised you?
- My godparents.
477
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,040
But I been off on my own
for a long time.
478
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,000
What you doing tomorrow?
Go for a ride with me.
479
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,440
- Oh, no, no. I gotta work.
- I'm gonna square it with Herbert.
480
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,280
- Herbert said you met the Beatles.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
481
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,240
Only one of 'em is smart, though.
The fella with the glasses.
482
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,360
Oh, he is my favorite.
483
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960
Yeah, folks was screaming
and fainting.
484
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,360
I said, "Man, is this how they act
when you get big?"
485
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,960
- What did he say?
- He said, "Champ...
486
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,760
the more real you get,
the more unreal it's gonna get."
487
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Wow.
488
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,640
Your
489
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,840
Precious love
490
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,560
Love
491
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,320
Means more tome
492
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,320
More, more
493
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,480
Than any love
494
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,880
Can ever bring me
495
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,720
Never came true
496
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,240
Oh, and I
497
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,960
I wanted you
498
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,560
Let me tell ya
I was so lonely
499
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,400
So lonely, lonely
So lonely and so blue
500
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,720
Good God All mighty
501
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,880
That's what love will do
502
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,360
Do
503
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,280
Let's go.
504
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,800
Yeah.
505
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,840
Where you live?
506
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,760
I'm gonna take you there.
507
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,200
And you know I got a man somewhere
out there that I don't mind crawling to.
508
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,480
Sometimes I wake up in the midnight
hour, tears rolling down my face.
509
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,400
And if I look around for my man
and I can't find him...
510
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,840
I follow the Lord,
look a little higher.
511
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,560
Kind of pray to the Lord.
512
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,680
Because I always believed that the Lord
could help me if nobody else could.
513
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,600
But sometime
I think he don't even hear me.
514
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,000
So I have to fall a little lower
on my knees, look a little higher.
515
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,080
Kind of raise my voice
a little higher.
516
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,200
And this is what I say
when I call on my man.
517
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,600
I especially want you ladies to listen
to me 'cause maybe you can try this.
518
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,600
It might help you
every once in a while.
519
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,040
This is what you say
when you call on your man.
520
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,960
Get in tune to--
521
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,960
Darlin'
522
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,360
Darlin; don't you know
523
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,160
That I love you so much, yeah
524
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:47,920
Fall down on my knees
525
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Beg my baby, please
526
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,480
I got to tell the man
that I love him, yes, I will
527
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,440
For your precious love
528
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,600
For your precious love
529
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,000
There?s nothing
There?s nothing, nothing
530
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,200
In this whole wide world
I wouldn?t do for you, darling
531
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,880
I'll walk all night
out in the rain
532
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,440
Lord, I got to see
my baby again
533
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,000
I got to tell the man
that I love him
534
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,080
One more time, yeah
535
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,080
You ain't no Muslim, huh?
536
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,840
Cover my hair, wear no makeup
and wear those long dresses?
537
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,360
Honey, please.
538
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:45,920
Were you a virgin?
539
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,640
A virgin? How you gonna--
What you saying?
540
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:53,920
Well, you were just so gone,
off on a little good time.
541
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,960
Well, no,
I ain't no virgin.
542
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,440
But I may as well be.
543
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,600
I ain't joking.
544
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,280
I always know when I know.
545
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,480
You see this face?
546
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,520
You got a pretty face
for a lady's face...
547
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,920
but you ever seen anything
as pretty as me?
548
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,560
Who wouldn't want
to be with me?
549
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,680
What, you five foot three
or something like that?
550
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,200
That's too small for me,
but I'm gonna make an exception.
551
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,520
- Oh, well, thank you.
- Because of your spirit.
552
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,080
- My spirit?
- Yeah, girl. You too much fun.
553
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,640
- But you got to be a Muslim.
- A Muslim?
554
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,120
And how you do that? You jump over
a broom and, shazam, you're a Muslim?
555
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,920
I ain't never been
with nobody like you.
556
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,920
And, baby...
557
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,200
baby, you ain't never
gonna be with any other.
558
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,120
- What?
- That's right.
559
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,320
I wanna marry her.
560
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,800
True love.
561
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,040
You don't marry that girl.
She was a date.
562
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,720
Have some fun.
563
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,360
She's not your wife.
You don't marry this girl.
564
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,760
Here's some management papers.
I need you to sign right there.
565
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,440
My father would kill me.
566
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:21,320
Watch what you're signing, Ali.
567
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,240
This ain't got nothing
to do with you.
568
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,320
Anything's to do with me I say is to do
with me, fat boy. I'm still a Christian.
569
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,320
And get me a kosher cook. I want
that lady over at Malcolm's temple.
570
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,360
- Lana Shabazz.
- And put my brother on payroll.
571
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,880
Fifty G a year
just for drivin' and jivin'.
572
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,760
What do you say, Howard?
Come on full-time as my photographer?
573
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,480
I'm not gonna be on the payroll.
I'm freelance. Emphasis on "free."
574
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,120
Muhammad, she's not for you.
575
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,160
When I met her,
she worked in a cocktail lounge...
576
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,240
with a bunny tail
on her backside.
577
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,080
What the hell was you doing
in a bunny tail lounge anyway, Herbert?
578
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,920
Sellin' Muhammad Peeks?
579
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,240
- You been saving it up training, Ali.
- Your ass.
580
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,920
You should spread that stuff around
a little bit before you settle down.
581
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,880
No, man. Marriage is
the cornerstone of Muslim life.
582
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,880
- Yeah, well, Sonji Roi is not a Muslim.
- Well, she's gonna be now.
583
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,240
You just fix it up, Herbert.
584
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,480
Yeah. Okay.
585
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,320
So, why we meeting?
586
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,400
I got Malcolm shoulder to shoulder
with Martin Luther King.
587
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,240
And we got Malcolm traveling all over
the world, getting Ben Bella and Nasser.
588
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,440
We were better off before
with Malcolm inside the Nation.
589
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,960
So we've decided
we want you...
590
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,320
to get Elijah Muhammad
to take Malcolm back.
591
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,360
That's a joke, Joe.
592
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,120
When am I being reimbursed
for my expenses?
593
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,440
Dry-cleaning all these suits
is not free.
594
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,520
We gotta talk about this guy too.
595
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,400
Get me receipts, I'll reimburse you
for your dry cleaning.
596
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,520
- What you drinking?
- What I'm drinking?
597
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,400
Come on, champ. This is water.
You know I'm a natural man.
598
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,840
You know.
599
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,720
- What's going on? We're late.
- I'm changing my damn clothes.
600
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,120
You gave me that look,
so I know you don't like what I had on.
601
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,000
- What is this?
- What you wanted, isn't it?
602
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,200
- A water glass with vodka in it.
- No, that was before.
603
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,560
- Before what, sir?
- Before you showed up. Get out of here.
604
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,920
I'm fine running around here
in these cute, short things for you.
605
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,640
I am submissive to you.
606
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,920
I ain't gonna be submissive to them
Brother X's and Z's...
607
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,800
about what they think.
608
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,320
They ask me a bunch
of questions all the time anyway.
609
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,280
- What questions?
- About you and us.
610
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,960
- And I ain't telling them shit.
- You tell it like it is, sugar.
611
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:29,440
Took away my boy's name.
What they give him back?
612
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,760
Bad style.
613
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,520
I think you drunk.
Daddy Clay, you're something else.
614
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,920
Now, that's a firecracker right there.
We're gonna have to work with that.
615
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,880
- A scale of one to ten.
- That's right.
616
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,000
I have one-- I had a ten--
Well, I didn't have a ten.
617
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,640
I had a five--
five good twos.
618
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,640
I don't drink. I don't smoke.
I converted to Islam for you.
619
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:55,480
Okay? l--
All except the dress.
620
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,520
What you doing in my pockets, man?
Get your hand out of my pocket!
621
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,760
- Hold it, my brothers.
- We got a thief in here!
622
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,840
Just be cool.
623
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,440
Be cool.
624
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,920
Brother, you crazy?
625
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,240
They killed Malcolm!
They shot Malcolm! They shot Malcolm!
626
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,160
They shot Malcolm!
627
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,280
...wash it seven times
in the chest and body...
628
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,840
and one in the lower
right shin.
629
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,360
Apparently, the unknown man...
630
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,800
walked up
to the speaker's platform...
631
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,520
at the time
Malcolm X was speaking...
632
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,400
opened fire at him
at very short range.
633
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,840
The arena is surrounded by FBI.
634
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,320
The stands are only half full.
635
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,240
The promoter has taken out
a million-dollar insurance policy...
636
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:20,280
due to Cassius Clay's membership in
the militant and radical black Muslims.
637
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,280
And, oh, by the way,
Sonny Liston is here too.
638
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,840
Touch gloves
and come out fighting.
639
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,640
Come on, son.
640
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:01,320
- Come on, Chi-Chi.
- Put a whupping on him now.
641
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,080
Ain't nothing changed.
642
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,440
Whup on him now.
Whup up on him.
643
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,720
Way to go!
644
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,280
- There it is!
- Sock it to him, baby!
645
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,480
Yes!
646
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,080
Get up!
Ain't nobody gonna believe this.
647
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,160
Get up!
648
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:36,360
Yes!
649
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,840
Confused.
We're confused.
650
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,720
- Check his time.
- Timekeeper's sounding it's over.
651
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,640
Check his time!
652
00:54:58,680 --> 00:54:59,720
It is over!
653
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,920
I think the champ
was in a hurry.
654
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:23,600
Are you okay?
655
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,600
What's wrong?
656
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,480
Why you all done up like that?
657
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,520
I'm out there dying for you
out of worry.
658
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,040
- Worry?
- Yes.
659
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,440
And all you can think about
is if I look dull enough?
660
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,200
What if I straightened my hair
and moved into some white suburb?
661
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,240
How I am says something.
662
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,640
You want me to go get her?
663
00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:23,840
Not now.
664
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,760
- Not right now, fellas.
- Not now.
665
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,520
- What I got to do?
- About Sonji?
666
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,760
Have no contact with her
for 90 days.
667
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,000
Make a public statement
of divorce at the mosque...
668
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,160
and Islamic law
will be satisfied.
669
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:44,560
Satisfaction is not making it with
the woman who send you to the moon?
670
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,520
I'm the only normal person
left around here.
671
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,080
I'm a black Jew, I can't read
and I'm half drunk.
672
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:52,560
I need to talk to you.
673
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,920
- No, you can stay, Brother Herbert.
- Brother? He ain't your brother.
674
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,080
Your brother's taking your wife back
to Chicago. She's crying like a widow.
675
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,720
- Well, I ain't dead.
- Well, you may as well be.
676
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,240
You don't remember your name
or who you are.
677
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,280
You gonna try for Germany?
678
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,000
You gonna try to get
stationed in Germany?
679
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,640
- Everybody is trying to avoid Vietnam.
- What you talkin' about, man?
680
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,600
They changed your classification.
It's in the paper.
681
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,400
- What?
- Champ. Eskridge.
682
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:30,840
You're 1 A.
683
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,120
They tryin' to draft me in the army?
You know about this?
684
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,360
Okay, here we go.
685
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,320
All right, all right.
Hey, I got to go.
686
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,000
They started runnin'.
687
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:50,200
You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...
688
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,640
You know, so I went down there,
I did everything I was supposed to do...
689
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,560
and I flunked
their draft board test.
690
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,560
Then without testing me again,
to see if I'm any wiser or worser...
691
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,960
they decide
I can go in the army?
692
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,200
- Cassius, in my opinion--
- My name ain't Cassius Clay.
693
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,720
That is a slave name,
and I am a free man.
694
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,320
I am Muhammad Ali.
695
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:12,440
You know, I apologize.
I apologize to you on the air.
696
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,640
Your name is Muhammad Ali.
697
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,760
You have a right to be called
whatever you want.
698
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,720
I apologize to you.
699
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,200
You sure make a lot of mistakes
for a so-called educated man.
700
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,600
- You really went to law school?
- Yes, Muhammad.
701
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,280
And to think I gave up a lucrative
practice for the likes of you.
702
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,240
I'm the best thing
ever happened to you, Cosell.
703
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,000
Without me, you'd be a tall white man
with a microphone in his mouth.
704
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,200
And without me,
you'd be a mouth.
705
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,680
We'll be right back.
706
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,520
- You want some food for that thing?
- How could you do such a thing?
707
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,120
- 'Cause it's funny.
- To someone you revere.
708
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,000
- That thing almost bit my finger off.
- Mr. Bundini...
709
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,120
I'm glad you were here
to witness this-- this assault.
710
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,280
Have a little coffee
with your sugar.
711
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,040
They're coming after you...
712
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,520
because they're scared of
black militancy in the inner cities.
713
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:20,160
I ain't no H. Rap Brown.
I ain't no Stokely Carmichael.
714
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:21,920
All they are is political.
715
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,480
You're the heavyweight
champion of the world.
716
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,680
Here's the deal the government offered.
You do six weeks in basic.
717
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,160
You go to the reserves.
You don't go to Vietnam.
718
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,040
Now, the messenger would not object
if you joined under those terms.
719
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,840
I stay out of jail and keep boxing.
720
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,120
If you accept the induction,
life goes on.
721
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:01,480
Marvin Decker Anderson,
US Army.
722
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,080
Marvin Decker Anderson,
US Army.
723
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,160
Juan Raymondo Benitez,
US Army.
724
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,200
Pryce Marshall Benson,
US Marines.
725
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,480
Cassius Marcellus Clay,
US Army.
726
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,960
Mr. Clay,
I'm required to inform you...
727
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,880
that refusal to accept
a lawful induction order...
728
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,760
constitutes a felony...
729
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,400
under the Universal Military
Training and Service Act...
730
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,360
punishable by
five years imprisonment...
731
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,160
and a $10,000 fine.
732
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:53,760
Do you understand?
733
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,600
Yes, sir.
734
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,160
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
735
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,960
Mr. Clay, you're under arrest
for refusing induction.
736
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,440
Yeah.
737
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,640
Yeah, this is me.
738
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,280
No, you got to ask Chauncey Eskridge.
That's my lawyer. He's in Chicago.
739
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,880
No, I'm out on bail.
740
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,120
No, man, I ain't never
shot nothin' in my life.
741
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,960
No ducks, no geese,
no deer, no nothin'.
742
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,520
Yeah, I know where Vietnam is.
It's on TV.
743
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,640
Southeast Asia?
What, it's there too?
744
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,520
What do I think about who?
745
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,080
The Vietcong?
746
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,360
Man, I ain't got no quarrel
with them Vietcong.
747
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,080
Ain't no Vietcong
ever called me nigger.
748
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,960
Yeah, that's right.
749
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,280
You know what you're doin', Ali?
750
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,240
You know what you just said?
751
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,840
Everyone, Europe to China,
every home in America...
752
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:01,880
everyone?s gonna know what the
heavyweight champion of the world...
753
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,960
said about the US war.
754
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,560
So what? So what?
I ain't got to be...
755
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,520
what nobody else
want me to be...
756
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,120
and I ain't afraid to be
what I wanna be...
757
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,120
think how I wanna think.
758
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,160
I got almost nowhere I can
promote a fight for you.
759
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,560
Plus I think they're gonna
vacate you from the crown.
760
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,800
- What?
- Yeah, if you're convicted.
761
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,480
Oh, so they're gonna take from me
what no fighter in the world can.
762
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,440
And New York may revoke
your boxing license.
763
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,360
You sure you wanna do this?
764
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,400
The next three to four years
are every heavyweight's prime.
765
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,240
There are few of those years.
766
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,880
- What about Terrell?
- We'll know about that this afternoon.
767
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,080
I gotta find us some venues fast.
I'll call you later.
768
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,840
You understand the issue is your
license to fight Terrell in Illinois?
769
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Yes.
770
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,680
Then are you prepared
to apologize...
771
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,360
about your unpatriotic remarks
about the war?
772
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,960
- You say you're the people's champion.
- Yes, sir.
773
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,440
Do you think you're acting
like the people's champion?
774
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,440
Yes, sir.
I'm not gonna apologize to you.
775
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,920
This is not a courtroom, and I do not
have to answer your questions.
776
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,240
- What about Terrell?
- We'll fight in another state!
777
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,600
- Are you gonna dodge the draft?
- I ain't draft-dodgin'...
778
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,040
I ain't burnin' no flag,
and I ain't runnin' to Canada.
779
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,960
I'm stayin' right here.
You wanna send me to jail?
780
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,240
Fine. You go right ahead.
I've been in jail for 400 years.
781
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,160
I can be there
for four or five more.
782
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,080
But I ain't going'
no 10,000 miles...
783
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,560
to help murder and kill
other poor people.
784
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,760
If I wanna die, I'll die right here
right now, fightin' you, if I wanna die.
785
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,600
You my enemy. Not no Chinese,
no Vietcong, no Japanese.
786
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,640
You my opposer
when I want freedom.
787
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,280
You my opposer when I want justice.
You my opposer when I want equality.
788
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,000
You want me to go somewhere
and fight for you.
789
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,000
You won't even stand up for me
right here in America...
790
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,920
for my rights
and my religious beliefs.
791
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,200
You won't even stand up for me
right here at home.
792
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,600
- Which guy you want to go first?
- You, sir.
793
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,520
Tell Clay he gettin' on after me.
I'm the champ.
794
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,320
- What?
- I said you can get on after me.
795
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,960
- No. What'd you call me?
- I called you Clay.
796
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,520
You will announce it from right here,
from flat on your back.
797
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,520
What's my name?
What's my name?
798
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,200
What's my name? Say my name!
You gonna say my name!
799
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,800
Your mama called you Clay!
I'm gonna call you Clay!
800
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:58,840
I want you all to tell
all their aunts...
801
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,800
and all their uncles
and cousins and friends...
802
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,240
get to your television set,
get to your radio...
803
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,760
'cause I never wanted
to whup a man so bad!
804
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,960
What's my name?
What's my name?
805
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,280
What's my name, motherfucker?
What's my name?
806
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,080
What's my name?
807
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,240
The jury has found you guilty
of refusing induction...
808
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,480
into the United States
Armed Forces.
809
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,520
Does the defense have anything
it wants to say?
810
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,880
Yeah, I'd appreciate if the court would
just give me my sentence right now...
811
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,120
rather than waitin' and stallin'.
812
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:58,680
Very well.
813
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,640
I sentence you to
the maximum sentence allowable:
814
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,800
five years imprisonment
and a fine of $10,000.
815
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,320
Doubtless your lawyer
will lodge an appeal...
816
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,520
so while you're free on bond, I order
that your passport be surrendered.
817
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:19,800
I'll not have you benefiting yourself
by fighting abroad.
818
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,880
This court is adjourned.
819
01:09:59,840 --> 01:09:59,880
Hold on. Watch this.
I've been working on this at home.
820
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:03,320
Hold on. Watch this.
I've been working on this at home.
821
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,320
Just relax.
822
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,640
See? 'Cause it's spooky and sometimes
people get scared and run.
823
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,840
Pay attention.
This is very spooky.
824
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,640
Go ahead.
Blow on that for me.
825
01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:23,320
See, you don't need
to fight no more.
826
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,440
You don't remember me, do you?
827
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:35,280
Yeah. I remember somethin'.
What's your name?
828
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,560
- You know my name.
- I know your name.
829
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,920
You came to my school
right before you won the title.
830
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,520
I interviewed you
for my school paper.
831
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,720
I was eleven.
832
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,080
You had a long braid.
833
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,040
Yeah.
834
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,880
- You called me "Little Indian Girl."
- Wow.
835
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,240
- Man, that was you.
- That was me.
836
01:10:58,440 --> 01:11:01,600
And I loved you then,
just like all them kids did.
837
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,840
I never stopped.
I still do.
838
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,320
Hey, did you see
that Ellis-Quary fight?
839
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,200
Yeah.
840
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,200
We're gonna be in front of
the US Court of Appeals next month.
841
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:16,280
We're gonna lose.
842
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,160
- We'll appeal to the Supreme Court.
-Jimmy Ellis, the champ.
843
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,800
Man, I've been whupping on that boy
since I was 1 6.
844
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,400
All that's gonna happen,
they gonna give Ellis to Frazier...
845
01:12:24,480 --> 01:12:27,000
Frazier's gonna kill him,
then what?
846
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,000
Where's the gate?
Then they got to let me fight.
847
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,160
Jimmy Ellis.
Fight that boy in a phone booth.
848
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,080
Fight him in the middle of Times Square.
You think that'd draw a crowd?
849
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,560
Champ, draw a crowd
or not draw a crowd...
850
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,240
it's not gonna make a difference
with your boxing licenses.
851
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,320
The ACLU's handling your case
against the New York Boxing Commission.
852
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,040
They've discovered that New York's
got actual ex-murderers...
853
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,600
and ex-rapists
currently licensed to fight.
854
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,040
But revoke yours?
855
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,200
They don't want you to fight.
856
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:03,560
- Tijuana.
- No.
857
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,400
State Department refuses permission
for the one-hour visa.
858
01:13:06,440 --> 01:13:09,080
No fight in Tijuana.
Look--
859
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,400
Can't fight here.
Can't fight outside the country.
860
01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:14,320
I know people
in the restaurant business.
861
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,800
They want to start a chain.
Muhammad Ali Champ Burgers.
862
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,120
Muhammad Malts,
Fistful of Fries.
863
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:20,960
All of that.
864
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,000
Why do I wanna be
in the restaurant business?
865
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:24,280
'Cause you need the money.
866
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,160
- How much all this gonna cost?
- Too much.
867
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,200
They do that to you too, you know.
868
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,160
They bust you out.
869
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:46,720
All right.
870
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,960
Go get me some
Champ Burgers.
871
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:04,800
Did y'all see that?
That man just hit me.
872
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,240
Oh, you done messed up now, sucka.
You done messed up--
873
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,520
I don't wanna do nothin'
in front of your daughters, though.
874
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,640
I can't beat you up
in front of your daughters.
875
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,360
- Hey, champ, good to see you.
- All right, ladies. Take care now.
876
01:14:16,440 --> 01:14:18,400
All right now.
All right now.
877
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,320
You called me "Little Indian Girl"
'cause I wore my hair in a braid.
878
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,480
And then I said,
"Man, you scribble.
879
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:39,440
You can't even write.
880
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,880
Need to go back to school
till you learn how to do it better."
881
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,200
Now, why you just havin'
a fresh mouth talkin' to me.
882
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,160
So you think that's funny, huh?
883
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,920
Telling me I can't write,
that I scribble.
884
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,720
Now you wanna try
to make up with me.
885
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,800
- This will make everything better.
- Shut up.
886
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,280
Mommy and Daddy
moved to Mexico!
887
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,520
Come on, baby.
888
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,600
Oh, sweetie, come on.
889
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,160
We will give you five minutes
to leave this area.
890
01:15:58,480 --> 01:16:00,960
Who is the heavyweight champion
of the world?
891
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:13,800
What's happenin'?
892
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,480
- Hey, man.
- We lost on the appellate level...
893
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:31,720
in New Orleans.
894
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,520
- We're heading to the Supreme Court.
- We already got turned down there.
895
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,160
I'm petitioning on a conscientious
objection basis. Religious belief.
896
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,280
I believe that they'll hear that.
897
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,240
Where the money
gonna come from, Chauncey?
898
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:48,840
Herbert say I'm runnin' on empty.
Now, just put aside...
899
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:50,600
"How did that happen?"
900
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:55,320
License all revoked, passport gone,
can't fight here, can't fight nowhere.
901
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,400
Then what happen if I lose
at the Supreme Court?
902
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,000
Then you go to jail for five years.
903
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,240
Oh, I saw Bundini
when I was in Europe.
904
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:21,600
- Yeah? How is he?
- He's bad. He's in bad shape, man.
905
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,440
You better get your belt back
906
01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:31,120
Look at this.
907
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,560
Joe Frazier.
He can't up no gate.
908
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,520
Can't fill no arena.
They got to let me fight.
909
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,080
Fight.
910
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:46,440
If that happens, promise me you?ll
put some new people around you.
911
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:50,920
What you talkin' about?
912
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,200
Where Herbert and them
when we need 'em?
913
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:58,400
Gene Kilroy's dropping off groceries
like charity.
914
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,560
We borrow money from my folks.
915
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:07,880
They're all over you when you got it,
and then they just drop off you...
916
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,560
when you don't.
917
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,320
Norton, he's big and strong,
but he ain't nothin'.
918
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,480
Hold on a second, Joe.
They're telling me we have a caller.
919
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,760
- Go ahead, please.
- Cosell, this is Muhammad Ali.
920
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:32,040
It's Muhammad Ali.
921
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,120
Everybody knows
that I am the champ.
922
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,440
The crown is a lie. I know it's a lie.
Joe Frazier knows it's a lie.
923
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,800
And it's time for everybody
to stop lying and tell the truth.
924
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,080
Let's tell it like it is.
With your court and boxingproblems...
925
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,080
can you get a fight promoted?
926
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,280
I would fight Joe Frazier for free
in a phone booth...
927
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,640
in the middle of Times Square
if I wasn't broke.
928
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,800
Did you say you were broke?
How can you be broke?
929
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:55,200
You made more money than all previous
heavyweights champions combined.
930
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,680
What about your management?
Surely they have provided for you.
931
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,760
All I'm trying to say is it's time
for everybody to stop lyin'.
932
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,480
Muhammad Ali is the champ.
933
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,480
Get my son Herbert
on the telephone.
934
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,280
Muhammad, thank you for calling in.
I'll relay that to Joe.
935
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:12,320
And tell Joe I said
he is very ugly.
936
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,760
Muhammad says that he will
fight you anywhere, anytime...
937
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,400
and that the championship really is his
until that battle ensues.
938
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,360
Mr. Ali has sporting blood.
939
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:40,400
Mr. Ali wants a place
in this sports world.
940
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:43,120
He loves it too much.
941
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:47,480
I am therefore suspending Mr. Ali
from the practice of Islam.
942
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,560
He may no longer appear in temple,
pray or teach...
943
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:56,480
or have any conversation
with any Muslim whatsoever.
944
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,520
Why didn?t you call
an ambulance or a doctor?
945
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,120
Because he gave me your number
when he checked in.
946
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,280
Normally, he's up there
making a lot of noise.
947
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:08,720
But now he hasn't answered the door
in three days.
948
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:13,720
- What's that?
- It's daylight.
949
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,080
Get me that short dog.
950
01:21:19,480 --> 01:21:21,720
Give it to me.
951
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,400
What's wrong with you?
952
01:21:25,440 --> 01:21:28,200
Ain't nothin' wrong with me.
My head ain't bad.
953
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,120
- Leave me alone.
- Leave you alone. You called me!
954
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,680
Yes, but that was a week ago.
955
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,880
- Why are you shamin' yourself?
- Let me go, man.
956
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,640
Why you doin' that
to yourself?
957
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,320
- Why you shamin' yourself?
- Ain't nobody shamed.
958
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,560
Ain't nothin' wrong with me.
959
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,360
I'm flyin'.
960
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:45,440
The Sky Chief talk through me.
I know the word.
961
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:46,840
- You know low.
- Yeah?
962
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,040
I know low where the king
is goin' back to his throne!
963
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,800
- From the root to the fruit!
- Them rhymes is old, Bundini.
964
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:53,720
You need to get some new ones.
965
01:21:57,440 --> 01:22:01,120
God don't care about you.
Don't care about me.
966
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,280
In all of everything, we don't mean
nothin'. He don't owe us.
967
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,000
We be.
968
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,240
And that's the onliest thing He did.
969
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,280
But that's good.
That's why we free.
970
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,000
But free ain't easy. Free is real
and real is a motherfucker.
971
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,800
It eats raw meat.
972
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,320
It walk in its own shoes.
973
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,760
It don't ever waiver.
974
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,240
Yeah.
975
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,720
I-- I sold your belt.
976
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,880
I sold your belt to a barber
for $500 on Lenox Avenue.
977
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,320
That's how low I did you.
I couldn't help it. I got a crazy mind.
978
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,560
That belt say you the heavyweight
boxing champion of the world...
979
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,440
and I took that $500...
980
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,840
and I put it in my arm.
981
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,560
That's what I called to tell you.
982
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,680
I heard about the Nation stuff,
the courtroom.
983
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,400
What you gonna do?
984
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,720
Take me back.
985
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,840
I could go down there and get the belt.
I can go get the belt.
986
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:13,920
Hey, champ.
987
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:51,800
$1 ,000 to the man that bring me
Howard Cosell's toupee dead or alive!
988
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,360
Don't bother me.
I'm a world-famous sportscaster...
989
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,600
and you're an ex-champion
with diminished skills.
990
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,360
I can't be seen with you.
991
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,280
- How's it goin', champ?
- Pretty good, man.
992
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,000
Muhammad, I'd do anything for you.
You know that.
993
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:18,320
But I've got bosses who only
give a damn about Nielsen ratings.
994
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,920
I guarantee...
995
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,640
it will be a historical
and a momentous night.
996
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:33,720
If they came to me tomorrow and say,
"We want you to fight Joe Frazier.
997
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,640
Madison Square Garden.
Millions and millions of dollars.
998
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,160
Here's your license back."
I will tell them...
999
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:40,920
"I will never fight again."
1000
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,320
Frankly, Muhammad, I'm surprised,
because unless you--
1001
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,720
or until you fight Frazier--
1002
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,600
Cosell, are you losin' your hearing
along with your hair?
1003
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,600
Don't put no question to it, man.
I done told you, I'm through fightin'.
1004
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,960
I got a much bigger contender,
a much heavier opponent.
1005
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:57,880
I'm fightin'
the entire US government.
1006
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,480
Do you think
you're going to jail?
1007
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,120
I don't know. I don't know.
1008
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:09,560
Joe Frazier told me on this show
that he could knock you out.
1009
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,800
See, there you go agitatin'.
1010
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,560
You should've asked Smokin' Joe
what have he been smokin'?
1011
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,240
That boy even dream he whupped me,
he better wake up and apologize.
1012
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,280
If I was to get in the ring with Joe...
1013
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,200
here's what you might see.
1014
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:27,800
Ali comes out to meet Frazier,
but Frazier starts to retreat.
1015
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,920
If Joe goes back an inch farther,
he'll wind up in a ringside seat.
1016
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Ali swings with his left,
Ali swings with his right.
1017
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,160
Just look at the kid
carry the fight.
1018
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,720
Frazier keeps backin',
but there's not enough room.
1019
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,120
It's only a matter of time
before Ali lowers the boom.
1020
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,880
Ali swings with his right.
What a beautiful swing.
1021
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,760
But the punch lifts Frazier
clean out of the ring.
1022
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,480
Frazier's still risin',
and the referee wears a frown...
1023
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,800
'cause he can't start countin'
till Frazier comes down.
1024
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:58,080
Frazier's disappeared from view.
The crowd is getting frantic.
1025
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:01,960
But our radar stations picked him up.
He's somewhere over the Atlantic.
1026
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,200
Now, who would've thought
when they came to the fight...
1027
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:08,080
they was gonna witness the launchin'
of a black satellite.
1028
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,560
But don't wait for that fight.
1029
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,720
It ain't never gonna happen.
1030
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,800
Only thing you could do...
1031
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:18,240
is wonder and imagine.
1032
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:24,400
This has been another
sports exclusive from ABC.
1033
01:27:24,480 --> 01:27:26,400
- Two. Go two.
- Over to Jim McKay...
1034
01:27:26,480 --> 01:27:28,640
in Bern, Switzerland.
1035
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,840
- How you gonna go from me to Jim McKay?
- Listen, uh--
1036
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,520
- Did your wife leave you yet?
- No, she hasn't left me yet.
1037
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,840
She's going to, 'cause I
told your wife when I seen her...
1038
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:41,040
I said, "Listen, why you
doin' this to yourself?"
1039
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,240
Oh, man, Joe.
Who dresses you?
1040
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,080
You look like the heavyweight
champion of pimps.
1041
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,120
Hey, shut up and get in.
1042
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:00,840
That jacket?s a mess, man.
1043
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,360
What you in Philly for?
Philly's my town.
1044
01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:10,320
Well, I just wanted to get
a little closer to you, honey.
1045
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:11,360
Man, fuck you.
1046
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,920
There'll be two undefeated heavyweight
champions, and they ain't fightin'.
1047
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,560
- What about your license?
- I can fight in Atlanta.
1048
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,200
There ain't no state boxing commission
in Georgia.
1049
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,400
It's all set. I do a prelim in Atlanta
against Jerry Quary...
1050
01:28:25,440 --> 01:28:27,960
but we got to get this
steamroller movin' right now.
1051
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,560
So what do I have to do?
1052
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,880
All you got to do is announce
that after I whup Jerry Quary...
1053
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,360
you gonna give me a title shot.
1054
01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:37,960
Come on, man.
Say it! Say it!
1055
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:49,720
What I got and all I got,
I got with these right here.
1056
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:51,960
Hell, man, I already got the title.
1057
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:56,400
So I ain't got nothin' to win,
but I got eveythin' to lose.
1058
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:00,200
Yeah, but you know
you ain't the real champ yet.
1059
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,000
You beat Quary...
1060
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,040
I'm gonna get you in the ring.
I'm gonna kick your ass.
1061
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,800
By the way...
1062
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:31,080
you need any money
or anything to tide you by?
1063
01:29:32,440 --> 01:29:34,280
No, I'm fine.
1064
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,960
Time!
1065
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,720
What you want?
1066
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,040
Take me back, boss.
1067
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:08,560
I'm clean.
1068
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:12,840
This is a resurrection.
This is God's act.
1069
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,960
And the prophet is goin' home.
1070
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,280
Take me with you, boss.
1071
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,280
I'll do anything.
1072
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:35,080
Your hands can't hit
what your eyes can't see.
1073
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,640
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
1074
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,040
Rumble, young man, rumble.
1075
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:01,840
God ain't watching'!
Ain't nobody but us!
1076
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,240
God ain't watching'!
Ain't nobody but us!
1077
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,800
There it is!
Stay in his face!
1078
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,280
Go, Muhammad!
1079
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:32,600
There it is!
1080
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:40,080
Now for the right. Boom!
1081
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:48,080
Prophet is goin' home
to the throne.
1082
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:06,320
That's how you do it, Ali.
1083
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,560
That's how you do it.
1084
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:17,840
You okay?
You're a goddamn Superman.
1085
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,080
Ain't no kryptonite
in this ring tonight.
1086
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,760
- We want Joe Frazier!
- We want him!
1087
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:09,200
- We want Joe Frazier!
- And you deserve it. You deserve it.
1088
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,680
This prophet is comin' home,
goin' from the darkness to the light.
1089
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,520
Soak it in this
for about 20 minutes.
1090
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,280
We don't need their management.
1091
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,440
Hey, Herbert, we did good.
Doin' good tonight.
1092
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,320
All praise to Allah.
1093
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,160
The messenger has lifted
your suspension.
1094
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:50,080
Congratulations.
1095
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:52,080
So you?re sayin'
I can be a Muslim again.
1096
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:53,680
- Yes.
- I ain't never stopped.
1097
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:55,640
Just like I ain't never stopped
bein' the champ.
1098
01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,360
I begged my father
to reinstate you.
1099
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:02,120
When? When you do that, Herbert?
1100
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,520
After I promoted this Quary fight
or after I won it?
1101
01:34:05,440 --> 01:34:07,400
- We can get Frazier.
- Man, I done already got Frazier.
1102
01:34:07,480 --> 01:34:09,840
We can get $5 million for Frazier.
1103
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,920
We talkin' management,
talkin' money or talkin' religion?
1104
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,840
When I got leery
and talked up why I'm broke...
1105
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:17,400
then come the suspension.
1106
01:34:17,480 --> 01:34:20,880
Now you explain that one to me,
my brother.
1107
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,040
That was my father.
1108
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:27,360
Your father.
1109
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:31,360
I love your father, Herbert.
I swear, man. I love the Nation.
1110
01:34:31,440 --> 01:34:33,800
But it don't own me.
1111
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,200
You go on out there
and you make that Frazier deal.
1112
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,080
My brother.
Yeah, your brother Herbert.
1113
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:53,960
Go on somewhere,
make that deal.
1114
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,280
And he accepts me.
I?m Jewish, but yet he's Muslim...
1115
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:08,760
and we still get along.
1116
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:12,200
He understands me. He understands me
and he still allows me to hang with him.
1117
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,600
He knows I like pork and white women,
but still allows me to be here with him.
1118
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:17,560
Now, I can give up pork...
1119
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,280
but them white women,
goddamn it!
1120
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:22,320
How you deal with it, boy?
1121
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:38,800
Hello?
Muhammad, it's for you.
1122
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,200
Thank you, Lana.
1123
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,280
- Yeah?
- Muhammad? Howard Cosell.
1124
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,800
- You TKO'd them.
- Hey, what you talkin' about, Howard?
1125
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,800
- With Quary?
- No.
1126
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:55,720
The Supreme Court ruled today...
1127
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:59,000
in the case of The United States
vs. Cassius Clay...
1128
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,680
aka Muhammad Ali.
1129
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,560
You won an eight-to-zero
unanimous decision.
1130
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:09,320
You're free.
1131
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,280
Congratulations.
1132
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:28,400
I'm free.
1133
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:35,920
The Supreme Court
just set me free.
1134
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,960
What are you talkin' about?
1135
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:45,680
Eight-to-oh, unanimous decision.
1136
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:48,360
The Supreme Court
just overturned my conviction.
1137
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,680
- Yes!
- All right. All right.
1138
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:54,160
- Did we get 'em, Ali?
- We got 'em, man.
1139
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,040
Hey, man.
1140
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,640
- Did we do it?
- We did it, man.
1141
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:06,040
They wanna be on your side now because
the truth has shown itself to the power.
1142
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,840
Now the power's comin' to the truth.
That's what it is.
1143
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,240
And the truth tastes good
when there's a belly full of lies.
1144
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,320
- What you talkin' about?
- It don't matter. It don't matter.
1145
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:25,360
Ladies and gentlemen,
1 5 rounds of boxing...
1146
01:37:25,440 --> 01:37:29,960
for the undisputed heavyweight
championship of the world.
1147
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:34,720
In this corner, the contender and former

01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,800
weighing in at 21 3 pounds...

His opponent,
weighing in at 2051/2 pounds...
1152
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,960
with a record of26 and 0

the current heavyweight
champion of the world...
1154
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,600
Smokin? Joe Frazier!
1155
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,840
I want a good, clean fight.
Protect your self at all times.
1156
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:15,000
Gentlemen, touch gloves.
Good luck to both of you.
1157
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:53,360
Come on!
1158
01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:55,360
Stick him! Come on!
1159
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:38,240
That's okay, champ.
Don't stop fightin'.
1160
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:41,480
What's comin'?
1161
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,760
Lean back, man.
Move back. Work, legs.
1162
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:57,960
Ain't nobody hurt.
1163
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,400
That's all right.
Ain't no--
1164
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:18,920
Keep puttin' out.
Come on.
1165
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:32,920
- Move, Ali!
- Back, back, back!
1166
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:06,720
Muhammad, you said
you were gonna win the fight.
1167
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,720
How do you account
for the beating you've taken?
1168
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,400
- Did he hurt you?
-Joe said you don't wanna fight again.
1169
01:41:11,480 --> 01:41:13,920
Oh, how wrong he is.
1170
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:15,480
- Why would it be different?
- Muhammad, wait!
1171
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,520
- But I wanna ask him something!
- We all wanna ask him something.
1172
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,080
- Sons of bitches! Get outta here!
- When are you gonna get a hairpiece?
1173
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,080
Don't worry about it.
You lost all of yours.
1174
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:30,040
You cue ball head motherfucker.
Get outta here!
1175
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,360
-Just one more question.
- Let me talk to him.
1176
01:41:32,440 --> 01:41:34,600
We're close to the start
of round one.
1177
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,440
Now that Smokin? Joe
done run outta tomato cans...
1178
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,960
I got Yank to commit to a rematch
with you in about six months.
1179
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,120
Frazier said he'd be happy
with three mil.
1180
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:46,440
I'll fly to Jamaica, get Yank to sign
right after Joe beats this big stiff.
1181
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,280
I think he hurt Joe Frazier.
1182
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,920
I think Joe is hurt.
1183
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,400
Down goes Frazier!
Down goes Frazier!
1184
01:41:56,480 --> 01:41:58,200
- Down goes Frazier!
- Get up, Joe.
1185
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,680
The heavy weight champion is
taking the mandatory eightcount...
1186
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,600
and Foreman
i spoised as can be.
1187
01:42:06,440 --> 01:42:08,800
Foreman is all over Frazier.
1188
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,120
And Frazier is down again!
1189
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,640
He maybe--
No, he's rising.
1190
01:42:15,480 --> 01:42:16,760
It's over! It is over!
1191
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,000
It'd be easy to get a fight
with Frazier now.
1192
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:24,160
Only thing he's champion of
is gettin' knocked down.
1193
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:28,040
George Foreman is
the heavyweight champion of the world.
1194
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:33,560
The Rumble in the Jungle.
That is the name that I've given it.
1195
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:38,000
Muhammad Ali and George Foreman
in Kinshasa, Zaire.
1196
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:40,000
- Don, Zaire?
- Yeah, Don.
1197
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,360
I mean, why not Antarctica,
somethin' like that?
1198
01:42:42,440 --> 01:42:44,440
What's wrong with New York City?
1199
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,200
Because you miss the significance.
1200
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:52,320
See, I dream of overcoming
400 years of racial depression...
1201
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:56,440
to the dawn of a new day of liberation,
financial and otherwise.
1202
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,520
It will raise up the spirits
of our inner cities.
1203
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,000
It will rise up and fill with hope,
the souls...
1204
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,560
the unrequited needs
of the black proletariat.
1205
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,360
That is, the discouraged, dispirited,
denigrated denizens...
1206
01:43:07,440 --> 01:43:10,320
of the demimonde
that is called the ghetto.
1207
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,080
Man, Don, you crazy.
1208
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,920
You must've studied the whole
"D" section of the dictionary.
1209
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:42,360
Good morning, sister.
1210
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,320
Hi, brother.
1211
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,040
How you doin', champ?
1212
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:18,120
Why they saying that?
What they sayin'?
1213
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,280
What that mean?
I don't understand.
1214
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:25,840
- It means--
- What?
1215
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,200
It mean, "Ali, kill him.
Ali, kill him."
1216
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,520
The champ is here!
1217
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:20,240
Ladies and gentlemen, the heavyweight
champion of the world has arrived!
1218
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:23,720
The champ is here!
1219
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:30,640
Hey, man.
1220
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,760
He's quite younger than you.
How you feeling about that?
1221
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:35,400
He's quite younger than me?
Well, we quite younger than you.
1222
01:45:35,480 --> 01:45:39,760
What you talkin' about? Thirty-two
years old. Best shape of my life.
1223
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,360
Hey, stop!
All right, back up.
1224
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,000
Did you see Muhammad Ali?
1225
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:59,920
- Here's your water.
- Oh, thank you, hon.
1226
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,280
Bottled water.
Frozen steaks.
1227
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,880
Brought all that stuffin
like Africa's ain't got no steaks.
1228
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:09,720
- You could pick up parasites.
- Mobutu eats it.
1229
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:12,240
Mobutu's takin' care of Mobutu.
1230
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:14,840
He steals all the wealth
and sends it to Switzerland.
1231
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:18,440
What that got to do
with any of why we here?
1232
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:23,680
We are here 'cause Don King
got Mobutu to put up $1 0 million.
1233
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:27,400
Don King don't care about Africa.
He's worse than Herbert.
1234
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,360
Here come Herbert.
1235
01:51:30,440 --> 01:51:33,040
And Don King fit right in too.
1236
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,320
Now he's a dashiki-wearin' rip-off.
1237
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:37,320
Don King delivered the first-ever...
1238
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,560
black-promoted
championship fight in Africa.
1239
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:43,400
Don King talks black,
lives white and thinks green.
1240
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:45,720
And you're defending him
and Brother Herbert?
1241
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:48,600
'Cause clean-cut Muslims in a parade
on the South Side of Chicago...
1242
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:51,600
ain't gonna get this done!
1243
01:51:52,440 --> 01:51:55,200
I got to put honkies with connections
and bad-ass niggas to it.
1244
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,120
And now they matched you up
against George Foreman.
1245
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,040
Do you think they give a damn
if you get killed?
1246
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:08,080
So that's what you think?
1247
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:19,840
I just wanna know why
my Muslim husband...
1248
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,840
is allowing himself
to get strung up on a cross.
1249
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:24,840
Just tell me why.
1250
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,440
Mayum's sick.
1251
01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:42,440
Maybe I ought to go back
to Chicago and look after her?
1252
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:46,640
Sure.
1253
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:55,680
Well, then I guess
I'll be back before the fight.
1254
01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,440
If that?s all right, my husband.
1255
01:53:24,480 --> 01:53:26,360
This fight is no contest!
1256
01:53:26,440 --> 01:53:28,320
He is entirely too slow to fight me.
1257
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:30,800
I say that George Foreman
is a mummy.
1258
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:33,640
He's too slow.
You know I name all my fighters.
1259
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:35,800
I'm gonna call George Foreman
"The Mummy."
1260
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:38,000
He fight like a mummy.
1261
01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:44,400
And when I see George throwin' punches,
this is what I hear:
1262
01:53:44,480 --> 01:53:46,760
Here come the left.
1263
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:49,000
Here come the right.
1264
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,640
But the mummy can't hit
what the mummy can't see...
1265
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:53,520
'cause I'm too fast for him.
1266
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,720
I'm too fast.
1267
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:01,600
I'm too fast. I'm too fast.
I move too good for him.
1268
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:04,560
I'll hit George Foreman so many times,
he'll think he's surrounded.
1269
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:09,040
He gonna say, "Call the police!
It's five of 'em in here!"
1270
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:12,760
I'm bad, man. I'm bad!
1271
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:16,520
Muhammad, I'm sorry.
I have to ask.
1272
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:19,120
Are you really
fast enough anymore...
1273
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,360
to beat George Foreman?
1274
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:26,040
If he gets you against the ropes,
he can knock you out with either hand.
1275
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:30,520
Many people believe you?re not the man
you used to be ten years ago.
1276
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:35,080
See, now, Howard...
1277
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,360
I didn't even want to talk
about this, man.
1278
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:43,440
Especially not out here
in front of all these people.
1279
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:46,040
But I talked to your wife...
1280
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:50,200
and she said you not the man
you used to be two years ago!
1281
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:13,640
Champ.
1282
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:20,360
- Champ, George had an accident.
- He-- He had what?
1283
01:55:20,440 --> 01:55:23,120
- What are you talking about?
- He got cut right above his right eye.
1284
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:25,600
His sparring partner's elbow
split it open.
1285
01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:28,080
- Can he fight?
- Not for six weeks.
1286
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:31,960
This is not a humorous situation,
my champ.
1287
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:35,520
This postponement could be long,
especially if George leaves.
1288
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:37,720
You tying to
pull something here, Don?
1289
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,360
If George leaves, he ain't comin' back.
George don't like it here.
1290
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:44,880
How right you are, my suspicious
and short Italian brother.
1291
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,560
Look here, man,
my fiduciary responsibility...
1292
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,960
to this first all-black promotion...
1293
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,400
is analogous to a garden in the African
sun-- it must grow, it must bloom.
1294
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:57,720
Cannot flower in the gloom and shade
of postponement to the Astrodome...
1295
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:00,440
or any dome out of Zaire where it be
deprivileged of light and bled of water.
1296
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:04,000
'Cause what gonna be bleedin' out of
there is money-- a hemorrhage of cash.
1297
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:05,920
I'm talkin' about blood on the floor.
1298
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:09,360
Double hotel costs, airplane,
travel costs, food and beverage.
1299
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:13,160
- So what do you want us to do?
- Muhammad Ali. The people's champion.
1300
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:14,440
My black brother.
1301
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:17,200
I need you.
I need your strength.
1302
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,400
I need you to find a way
to get George to stay.
1303
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:22,760
Be Moses in reverse.
1304
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:26,760
Do not let my people go.
Keep them the fuck right here in Egypt.
1305
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:29,000
- If you?ll pardon my Swahili.
- Lingala.
1306
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:31,280
- Say what?
- They speak Lingala.
1307
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:35,560
Ali wants his title,
and he wants it in Zaire.
1308
01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:41,960
Okay, all right, okay.
Let's take it back.
1309
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:45,080
George go, George go.
Hell, I can get you Joe Frazier.
1310
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:48,120
Ali-Frazier 3.
That's the fight everybody want to see.
1311
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,960
- We don't want Frazier, we want George.
- Hell, I don't control George Foreman.
1312
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:37,240
There's been an accidental injury
to George Foreman in training.
1313
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:39,000
The truth is...
1314
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:40,760
George knocked his self out.
1315
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:43,160
That's right.
1316
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:46,160
He did three rounds, realized
he was gonna lose to Muhammad Ali...
1317
01:57:46,200 --> 01:57:47,600
and knocked his self out.
1318
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:51,200
I predict that when the fight is set,
he might not show.
1319
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:52,360
Oh, you bad.
1320
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:55,280
- That's right, I'm a bad man.
- Ain't no doubt about that.
1321
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,560
Yeah, but you tell George
the same thing.
1322
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,480
I heard you.
I been watching you.
1323
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:03,400
I know he's your man, I know you got
him picked, but the man is in trouble.
1324
01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:06,400
The whole world was gonna know,
but now he ain't gonna show.
1325
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:10,200
In order to ensure that George is ready,
we are thinking of postponing...
1326
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:13,080
from September 24 to October 30.
1327
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,040
What about the concert?
1328
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:19,400
The concert will go on as planned.
Those dates are September 20, 21 --
1329
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:23,600
I want all the helicopters guarded,
all the private planes, private boats.
1330
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:25,520
I'm serious.
I want the airports--
1331
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:27,680
I want President Mobutu
and all his paratroopers--
1332
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:30,400
All you Zaireans,
y'all be on guard too.
1333
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:33,960
Any strange boats creeping away,
they might be taking him out.
1334
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:35,360
Bus stations.
1335
01:58:35,440 --> 01:58:36,880
And bus stations!
1336
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:38,800
Right.
Watch the bus stations.
1337
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:42,160
The elephant caravans-- They might be
tying to take him out on an elephant.
1338
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:44,560
- What'd you say?
- Hell, I ain't talking to you.
1339
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:46,160
Hey. Hey, man.
1340
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:49,280
Don?t you never talk
to Angelo like that.
1341
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:52,880
Don?t you never talk to Angie
like that again.
1342
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:54,680
Something wrong with you, man?
1343
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:59,520
Think you callin' some shots here?
You ain't callin' nothin'.
1344
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,720
They all know.
1345
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:06,640
All them ladies out there,
they know I'm ready.
1346
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:09,760
I see fear in the eyes
of his followers.
1347
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,320
This was supposed to be the fight
that Muhammad Ali was ended.
1348
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:17,920
Supposed to be Muhammad was gonna fall.
Supposed to be my destruction.
1349
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,400
Well, they miscalculated.
They misjudged.
1350
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:22,040
They got it wrong.
1351
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:45,800
Hold on a second.
1352
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:48,080
What's your name?
1353
01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:50,640
Veronica Porche.
1354
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:52,560
Porche. Like the sports car.
1355
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,440
- Yes.
- With just a little something extra.
1356
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:56,920
Hey, you with Don?
1357
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:01,600
Don brought me here,
but I'm not with anybody, no.
1358
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:03,960
- Where you come from?
- LA.
1359
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:06,280
- LA?
- But my people are from Louisiana.
1360
02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:07,640
Louisiana.
1361
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:09,600
What, you Creole?
1362
02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:14,520
We're Creole,
so I'm African, French and Spanish.
1363
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:16,560
My mother's grandfather was Jewish.
1364
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,400
Well, they mixed all that stuff up
in there real nice.
1365
02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:23,200
I'm the only witch doctor here.
Bundini Brown.
1366
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:25,400
Bundini Brown
is an authentic witch doctor.
1367
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:28,280
- You tell 'em.
- The only one in the United States.
1368
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:33,080
I'm real glad
you said what you did.
1369
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:36,280
You made sure the fight stays here.
1370
02:00:39,320 --> 02:00:42,280
You know all them reporters
and writers in there...
1371
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:45,880
they say George
is gonna kill me.
1372
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:48,240
What you think?
1373
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:54,040
Mr. Ali? Mr. Ali?
1374
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:56,120
- We want thank you.
- Hey, fella.
1375
02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:58,000
Y'all wanna thank me?
1376
02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:01,240
Y'all gonna thank me?
What I did?
1377
02:01:04,120 --> 02:01:06,520
They thanking me for something.
1378
02:01:06,600 --> 02:01:10,680
Hey, you ever been down to Hong Kong?
Thailand? Taiwan?
1379
02:01:10,760 --> 02:01:13,560
- No.
- No? I can't go there.
1380
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,520
- Hi, Ruthie. How are you?
- Hi, champ.
1381
02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:21,960
What's going on?
I'm great. How you feeling?
1382
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:24,280
When I go to sleep,
this closes up.
1383
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:28,600
That's what happens. When I go
to sleep, all this rests together.
1384
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:30,880
During the day, I got to think.
1385
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:34,200
Get me out of this county.
All the women so pretty.
1386
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:39,320
All of ?em, they got hair come all
the way down to the back of their knees.
1387
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:42,840
All of ?em-- All of ?em
about Veronica's complexion.
1388
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:45,200
Every single one of ?em.
Bad, man.
1389
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:48,960
But ain't nothing like the sisters.
1390
02:01:50,080 --> 02:01:52,760
Ain't nothing like the sisters.
1391
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:59,600
Come on. Why don't we go
take a ride or something?
1392
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,160
Wanna come with me?
1393
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:14,000
Ruth, tell us the truth.
Is this your kind of guy?
1394
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:16,280
More cushion for the pushin'.
1395
02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:20,600
What'd he say?
1396
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:23,800
So why you so glad
we still here?
1397
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:30,680
Making the fight stay here
in Africa--
1398
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,800
Anybody can fight in Vegas.
1399
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:43,800
Well, that's one job.
I got two.
1400
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:45,720
Got to whup George.
1401
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,600
Islamic faith help you do that?
1402
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:00,440
Listen, girl, as a Muslim
I am failed in the eyes of God.
1403
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:04,600
I should've discovered Islam at 50,
'cause I'm weak on women.
1404
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:07,880
First they take my eyes.
1405
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:10,320
My heart follow.
1406
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:12,440
Making me the lovingest husband
in the world...
1407
02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:15,320
and the most terriblest husband
at the same time.
1408
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:19,480
Look at you.
1409
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:21,800
Green eyes.
1410
02:03:21,880 --> 02:03:23,600
Cocoa skin.
1411
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:26,840
Okay, rest of me, let's go.
1412
02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:35,520
Rumble, Ali.
1413
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:19,760
- Mrs. Ali.
- Hello, Muhammad, Mr. Cosell.
1414
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:22,520
- Hey, when you get in?
- Today.
1415
02:04:22,600 --> 02:04:25,880
And I learned we now have this suite
at the intercontinental Hotel.
1416
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:29,600
Muhammad, may I have
a word with you, please?
1417
02:04:29,680 --> 02:04:31,040
Yeah.
1418
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:40,800
What's goin' on?
1419
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,200
What do you mean,
what's goin' on?
1420
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,640
Do you have to throw it
in my face?
1421
02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:49,160
Do I have to read about it? Do people
have to call me on the phone to tell me?
1422
02:04:49,240 --> 02:04:51,080
I didn't mean for that
to come out.
1423
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:54,760
And I live with the casual ones.
I live with 'em.
1424
02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:57,560
So why do you
disrespect me like this?
1425
02:04:57,640 --> 02:05:01,120
I respect you.
I will always respect you.
1426
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:12,080
Do you love her?
1427
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:18,800
I don't know.
1428
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:27,760
So what is supposed to happen now?
1429
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:31,360
I fight George.
1430
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:35,440
I didn't come all this far to lose.
1431
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:39,360
Neither did l.
1432
02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:05,920
Belinda.
1433
02:06:10,200 --> 02:06:11,560
What, Bingham?
1434
02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:39,240
There it is.
1435
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:54,920
Hey, Zack, where's George?
1436
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:56,400
What's he pulling?
1437
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:58,240
Where's George?
Where'd he go?
1438
02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:02,400
I just wanna make sure
you're gonna control the evening.
1439
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:05,920
George is jerking us off,
making us wait.
1440
02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:43,840
It's all over for you, man.
You don't have a chance.
1441
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:46,840
You don't have no chance.
1442
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:48,880
The rumble in the jungle!
1443
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:50,960
You don't have no chance, man.
1444
02:11:51,040 --> 02:11:52,080
Okay, let's go.
1445
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:55,360
You guys know the rules.
I want a good, clean fight.
1446
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:57,880
Ali, be quiet
and listen to the instructions.
1447
02:11:57,960 --> 02:11:59,880
You been hearing about me
ever since you was a boy.
1448
02:11:59,960 --> 02:12:02,280
Ali, be quiet.
Listen to the instructions.
1449
02:12:02,360 --> 02:12:04,520
- Now you got to face me.
- No hitting low.
1450
02:12:04,600 --> 02:12:06,920
- When I tell you to break--
- You got to face me now.
1451
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:08,880
Be quiet,
or I'll disqualify you.
1452
02:12:08,960 --> 02:12:11,800
When I tell you to break,
I want a clean break. Understand?
1453
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:15,280
- You shoulda never came to Africa.
- All right, shake hands.
1454
02:12:15,360 --> 02:12:17,240
Take your corners.
1455
02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:19,280
Okay. All right.
No problem.
1456
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:02,680
Break!
1457
02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:14,000
All right, break. Step back.
1458
02:13:44,280 --> 02:13:47,080
Take it to him!
That's what we came to do, Daddy!
1459
02:13:58,480 --> 02:14:00,360
The heavyweight championship fight...
1460
02:14:00,440 --> 02:14:02,960
- That's all you got?

1461
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:04,880

1462
02:14:07,280 --> 02:14:10,080
- There we go.
- That's it, Daddy.
1463
02:14:10,160 --> 02:14:12,760
You just keep dancing
around him, okay?
1464
02:14:13,560 --> 02:14:15,120
Just keep moving.
1465
02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:24,280
Legs hurting.
1466
02:14:25,320 --> 02:14:26,720
Air heavy...
1467
02:14:26,800 --> 02:14:28,720
ike I'm in water.
1468
02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:50,720
Get away from the rope!
1469
02:14:52,240 --> 02:14:55,120
Get off the rope!
Get off there! Move it!
1470
02:14:57,400 --> 02:15:00,000
Get off there! Get off there!
1471
02:15:08,160 --> 02:15:10,000
Get off the rope!
1472
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:15,120
Get off them ropes!
1473
02:15:15,960 --> 02:15:19,760
Come on now, Ali,

1474
02:15:19,800 --> 02:15:21,200
Come on, baby!
1475
02:15:22,240 --> 02:15:24,000
Come on, Ali!
1476
02:15:25,760 --> 02:15:28,600
That's it?
That's all you got? That's it?
1477
02:15:34,080 --> 02:15:36,400
Move him out to the center!
1478
02:15:36,440 --> 02:15:38,000
There he goes!
1479
02:15:39,920 --> 02:15:43,120
Get away from the ropes!
Get off the ropes!
1480
02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,880
Been here before.
1481
02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:19,880
Little greenroom.
1482
02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:22,400
Open that door.
Gonna get out this place.
1483
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:24,960
Come on, man,
get up and get out.
1484
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:42,320
They said you could punch, George.
1485
02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:44,960
You ain't hittin'.
You hittin' like a sissy, George.
1486
02:16:46,520 --> 02:16:48,680
You can't lay up on the ropes
like that.
1487
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:53,880
You're letting him beat on you.
You can't do that, champ. Come on, now.
1488
02:16:53,920 --> 02:16:57,520
-You wanna explain that to me?
-Jab, then go to the middle of the ring.
1489
02:16:57,560 --> 02:17:00,800
- You had your fight going, then--
- You gotta dance, baby.
1490
02:17:00,880 --> 02:17:04,120
Shut up! Just be quiet!
You let me take care of this!
1491
02:17:04,160 --> 02:17:07,280
Got to dance.
You can't come out there like that.
1492
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:09,200
- You can't back up.
- You got to respect the man.
1493
02:17:09,240 --> 02:17:13,000
What is with the ropes? Something
going on you wanna talk to me about?
1494
02:17:13,080 --> 02:17:15,920
Tell me what's going on with you.
What are you doing?
1495
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:19,640
Put the jab on him.
You got to let him go and dance.
1496
02:17:19,680 --> 02:17:23,080
Don't let him get in your corner.
He's tying to cut the ring off you.
1497
02:17:23,160 --> 02:17:26,840
He's tying to cut you off the ring.
You can't let that happen.
1498
02:17:27,960 --> 02:17:30,120
Just take care of it!
1499
02:17:32,720 --> 02:17:35,800
And there's the bell.
The fighters meet in mid-ring.
1500
02:17:45,400 --> 02:17:46,840
Get off the ropes!
1501
02:17:46,880 --> 02:17:48,680
Stay off the ropes!
1502
02:17:50,320 --> 02:17:53,520
Foreman again
pushing him against the ropes.
1503
02:17:53,560 --> 02:17:57,840
And Ali laying back, fighting those
blows against the sides of his body.
1504
02:17:57,880 --> 02:18:00,400
Get back in the middle
of the ring, Ali!
1505
02:18:01,400 --> 02:18:03,600
Muhammad, get off the ropes!
1506
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:37,840
You're punching like a sissy, George.
Punching like a sissy.
1507
02:18:49,520 --> 02:18:51,600
What the hell's going on?
Come on.
1508
02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:06,640
George, get him back.
What the hell's going on? Come on.
1509
02:19:18,240 --> 02:19:20,880
You got to get off the ropes!
1510
02:19:20,920 --> 02:19:22,440
Get off the ropes!
1511
02:19:22,520 --> 02:19:25,320
Eight rounds to go.
Running out of gas, big fella?
1512
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:27,800
Let him go.
1513
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:44,000
Can't let you get that second wind which
you don't even know is there for you.
1514
02:19:44,080 --> 02:19:47,120
You want the title?
Want to wear the heavyweight crown?
1515
02:19:47,160 --> 02:19:50,200
Nose broke, jaw smashed,
face busted in.
1516
02:19:50,280 --> 02:19:52,120
You ready for that?
Is that you?
1517
02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:55,480
'Cause you facing a man who will die
before he lets you win.
1518
02:20:07,320 --> 02:20:10,120
Ali, don't let him beat on you
on the inside.
1519
02:20:11,200 --> 02:20:13,080
Don't let him beat on you
on the inside.
1520
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:22,680
Come on, Ali.
1521
02:20:24,600 --> 02:20:26,720
Let's go, Ali.
1522
02:20:26,800 --> 02:20:29,880
Let's go, baby!
Stay off the ropes!
1523
02:20:29,920 --> 02:20:31,200
Get off the ropes!
1524
02:20:31,280 --> 02:20:33,480
There it is.
Keep 'em in his face.
1525
02:20:35,040 --> 02:20:36,000
Break!
1526
02:20:36,080 --> 02:20:38,120
Oh, you missed him, George!
1527
02:20:38,200 --> 02:20:40,240
You gotta go to work on him, Ali!
1528
02:20:48,440 --> 02:20:51,280
I thought you could punch, George.
They said you could punch.
1529
02:20:51,320 --> 02:20:52,720
Come on, Ali!
1530
02:20:53,880 --> 02:20:56,520
Get away from the rope!
Get off the rope!
1531
02:20:56,600 --> 02:20:57,960
He got him!
1532
02:21:04,200 --> 02:21:06,040
Move him around! Take him!
1533
02:21:07,200 --> 02:21:08,600
Come on, Ali!
1534
02:21:15,360 --> 02:21:18,440
Get off the ropes!
Get off the ropes!
1535
02:21:19,560 --> 02:21:20,880
Get off the ropes!
1536
02:22:04,120 --> 02:22:06,960
George Foreman is hit
by a combination of punches...
1537
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:08,440
and down he goes!
1538
02:22:08,480 --> 02:22:10,160
George Foreman is down!
1539
02:22:10,200 --> 02:22:13,160
He's fallen
like a tree in the forest!
1540
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:16,440
He is felled by a combination of blows
from Muhammad Ali!
1541
02:22:33,840 --> 02:22:36,920
Okay, this fight's over!
This fight's over!
1542
02:22:48,800 --> 02:22:51,280
I told you! I told you!
1543
02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:04,200
Referee Zack Clayton is counting.
Seven, eight!
1544
02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:06,160
And he's on his knee.
It is over!
1545
02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:08,200
It is over! It is over!
1546
02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:09,680
It is over!
1547
02:23:09,720 --> 02:23:13,600
George Foreman has been knocked out
by Muhammad Ali!
1548
02:23:13,680 --> 02:23:16,080
Muhammad Ali
has done the impossible!
1549
02:23:16,120 --> 02:23:18,440
He has regained
the heavyweight crown...
1550
02:23:18,520 --> 02:23:22,800
that was taken unjustly
from him in 1 967.
1551
02:23:25,560 --> 02:23:28,080
What a moment of history
in this arena...
1552
02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:30,520
in Zaire, Africa!
1553
02:23:40,080 --> 02:23:42,480
A tremendous, tremendous moment.
