I feel bad for Mike Von Erich. He never wanted to be a professional wrestler. His passion was music.

[johnboydojo]

Fritz looked spot on. Even sounded like him too.

That Ric Flair was a nightmare you can't run away fast enough.

You gotta say that they packed alot into their short lives. When I was a kid, Kerry was essentially the real life He-Man to me.

My best friend and I would watch them when they would wrestle in Belton Texas. Mainly Kevin and Kerry. They were so down to earth, really appreciated and had time for their fans.

[ppimtx]

They missed the mark with Rick Flair big time.

[johnpark]

David looked twice his age. So sad he died at 25/26

This story brought tears to my eyes, I grew up in the 80s watching wrestling wanting to be just like those heroes and learning what they went through to entertain and captivate us is amazing. We as viewers need to respect them and all they gave and what they give❤.

THE most heartbreakingly gut wrenchingly sad movie I’ve ever watched and to think they left some of the tragedy OUT? I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be Kevin. When Kerry went to join his brothers, I was sobbing, when Kevin says he’s not a brother anymore and his sons tell him “we’ll be your brothers” I was full on ugly crying for a day

[Daggers.]

The guy who played Kerry looked more like marty jannetty than anything else

[sharooooon]

Should’ve shown the guy playing Harley Race
He was identical

[qboz]

That movie caught me off guard at how good it really was!! Almost made me cry

[wileysmith]

I never knew Kerry lost his foot. I was a big fan of the Von Eric’s

[aidans]

Rip to the 5 brothers that left this world way too soon🙌

[antn_]

The dad nailed the role 💯, great movie

[gregorychampion]

Gotta include Harley Race too. Very accurate portrayal of him btw.

[heisman__]

Ric flair was the only one they missed

[alexandersylvain]

Kerry was a beast, they picked a 5’7” 135lb dude lol

[Pariah_Larry]

Such an amazing movie. I cried at the end in the theatre like a giant man baby.

Casting was crazy. Instead of not adding Chris to film at all Jeremy literally could of played him, I feel like Zac could’ve played kerry honestly lol just beef up a bit more and found someone else to play kevin (definitely not taking away from his acting it was great, just the looks more so obviously, David and Mike were casted well.
