The Iron Claw - Out of Theater REACTION!! #a24 #movie

[valyrian]

Got to see the Von Erics once as a kid in the 80s. Still to this day, remember the match.

Got a chance to see the cast walk the red carpet here in Dallas. What a lot of people don’t know is this family inspired a lot of wrestlers like The Rock, Stone Cold and were the first ones to put The Undertaker on. They also set the tone for a lot of things WWE does like walking out to the ring with music etc. They also started the trend of younger wrestlers instead of middle aged men.

My dad and uncle use to work at that beer and liquor store right across from where the Sportatorium was they saw a lot of wrestlers and some big time ones that would go there for a drink after the matches. I also found out where the claw thing came from. After all these years my dad and grandpa did that to us as kids. Wish I met these guys honestly

Jeremy Allen was a great actor in shameless & the bear, so I wasn’t shocked by his performance brining tears to my eyes along with efron

[hattrick]

Grew up in Texas and have seen and met many of the Von Erichs and remember all of these things happening. I remember thinking that it seems impossible for this many bad things to happen to one family.

Thanks for this. Me and my wife are really looking forward to see this. I loved the Texas tornado when I was a kid. The whole story is just so sad and such a shame.

I'm very excited for this film, because i use to watch alot of professional wrestling. From WWF, WCW, ECW and even NWA. I grew up in the 90s, but i was shown so many old school matches before then, watched more documentaries than those paid to do it. Glad to hear the movie is spectacular, as any biopic about wrestlers should be.

TERRANCE OUT

[RumbleFish]

Thanks for the review. i grew up on this family and the tragedies that surrounded them. It might be tough to watch for guys like me who know about them and followed their rise in the lower tier wrestling leagues. I will definitely watch this one.

The Iron Claw is easily the best film of 2023. It's the best film I've seen in theaters since "Joker" and "The Irishman" about 4 years ago.

[wpflesh]

I cant understate how huge the Von Erichs were…..There wrestling show actually ran on ESPN for a time

[lgolabrotory]

Fucking loved the iron claw, probably my movie of the year

[loratx]

Thank you! I was really on the fence about seeing it the trailers were less than impressive

[alpha]

David, Mike and Chris death hurt. Kerry’s death broke me.

[Sicwkskxkckckzd]

If you have any diseased, family members, or if you choose not to talk to any of your family members for some reason, this movie is gonna make you cry, and reconsider a lot of things…. Just saying

[MrStuDubb]

I thought it was pretty powerful. The actor who played Fritz was spot on.

[garysteeley]

Thanks because now I heard from a normal person that loved wrestling and not some snotty movie critic makes me want to go see it,

[RockinLarry]

In my opinion the story was done well but didn’t really focus on the storyline of the wrestlers but more on the story line of their lives. I wish they could gotten more into each of the Von Erich brothers personalities especially with Kerry. In real life he was the only one to go to the WWF and he had to change his name to the Texas tornado and he was known for a lot of his drug use and sloppiness in the ring. There were some details that I wish were put in that weren’t. Overall great job I give it 7/10

[smittycal]

Agreed. I really enjoyed this sad movie 😂

[ssilva]

I thought it was great as well. A24 almost never misses.

[ricchoder]

Great movie but worse Ric flair ever 😂
