When we were kings - Rumble in the Jungle - FULL FILM HERE

[smashup]

Seeing as it's the 40th anniversary here's the award winning film for those younger members who might not have seen it before!

Enjoy....

When We Were Kings is the superb documentary by Leon Gast on the Rumble in the Jungle, the 1974 heavyweight championship fight between heavyweight champion George Foreman and the underdog Muhammad Ali in Zaire. The film won an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1997 and feels as fresh today as it did on first viewing. It may or may not be true that they don’t make documentaries like they used to. But when it comes to heavyweight title fights, that argument does not hold water…

How Ali took the punches from the most powerful heavyweight champion in history is truly amazing.

His kidneys were contused, his bladder was swollen and he pissed blood FOR 6 DAYS after the fight.

It truly was an amazing fight. Gotta give Don King his props as well. This is one of my favorite documentaries.
