OT: Iron Claw Trailer

[Dawgg]

The story of the Von Erichs. It looks really good. I got chills seeing the Sportatorium.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Wonder how much they had to pay Rush for the music?

That is going to be depressing as all get out but probably a very good movie. Anyone who knows the story knows it’s gonna get dark.

 

[Dawgg]

I rewatched it and popped for The Fabulous Freebirds. They got their look down pretty good.

Yeah, it's a weird feeling to be kind of hype for a movie that's 100% going to be heartbreaking.

I feel bad for people who didn't come of age in the 80s. Wish I'd known those days would be the best of America, I would have enjoyed it even more.

It's going to capture the darkness, but it definitely captures what wrestling was like at that time. It looks like they've done a great job capturing how rough it was on your body at that point in the wrestling world.

I saw this last night. Pretty good movie, but you could really feel how low the budget was, it seemed.

Kevin and Kerry were both over 6”, and that was hard for me to get past. Both the actors are way shorter. Kevin was a wiry son of a gun, and Zac Efron isn’t. And that bowl cut hairdo did no justice to Kevin’s hair…. Seems like all they got right for Kerry WAS the hair.

Still, it was very nostalgic watching it. I knew all the wrestlers, and the Fabulous Freebirds were dead ringers when shown from a distance. It was pretty true to everything I remember about their story, minus a glaring omission of a family member.

I’d recommend seeing it, for sure.

The guy they got to play Flair was SNL type bad....

Yep, the hair was close. Nothing else was.

If Kerry doesn't have his crash in 86...it would have been him and not Warrior who took the belt off Hogan at WM6.Magnum TA's crash was a hit to wrestling around that time also....Gino Hernandez was another.

That was three massive stars who would have made it big in the WWF(Kerry did have a short IC run).

You’ve got to think it’s really hard to get someone who can play Flair.

I mean there’s only one of that guy.

Just saw it and the von Erich's were before my time but Flair was bad. They should have just ran the original promo

Not as much as they had to pay BOC, fo sho *****

 

[mike tice]

Could've made Kerry bigger ( the actor physically ) Looks good though

No doubt. The 1980s had the best movies and music by far.

80's was for sure a fun era...the 90's was pretty fun also....it's been all down since.
