Title: The Iron Claw
Post by: OlympiaGym on December 31, 2023, 05:36:53 AM
Is a great movie. See it this weekend if you haven’t already.

And yes, Zac Effron is on gear. You have to be an imbecile to think he’s not.

I saw Von Erichs and Free Birds live as a kid.  Characters look nothing like them, especially the lame-playing Kerry.  Effron is built weirdly!

As far as the film goes, I will have to pass...The Salt.   Professional Wrestlers are some strange peoples.  Never met Kerry Von Erich.

Was just reading that the other kid from shameless said he put on 40lbs of muscle. Sure pal. Ed from and him don’t have 45lbs of muscle on them combined.

Good movie, but a bit sad.  Really something of a character study.  The thing I was most upset about was that Kerry was smaller than Kevin.  Kerry was always the big one.

these guys were about my age and I grew up here in the Metroplex so I pretty much saw them grow up through their dad’s wrestling organization.Met Kerry at the gym once but can’t say I knew him.Sad how everything turned out.

I agree. The dude playing Kerry was miscast but it didn’t take too much away from the movie IMHO.

Very sad. Lots of people audibly sobbing in the movie theater, and they didn’t even include the story of the second brother, Chris Von Erich, to kill himself so you only see two suicides in the movie. The Mike Von Erich character was an amalgamation of him and Chris. Chris may have been the most tragic of all the brothers and he didn’t even make the movie. I read where the producer or director said that if he included that story as well the movie probably would’ve never been made.

Zach wasn’t willing to lose part of his foot to get into character.

Everything considered he should have played Chris. Big Zach probably has similar stats to Chris.

Making Arnold look small but to be fair this was when Arnold retired already and downsizing

Classic film. High school kid jumps in a fighter jet no training and no questions asked and is immediately the greatest ace flier in the skies.

Louis Gossett Jr reprises his only role as the honky-hating hardass drill instructor who eventually approves of the mayonnaise protagonist.

Still unsure which of these plot lines requires more suspension of incredulity.

Never met him either but saw him live twice as a kid.  At least fucking use someone in the movie who looks and is built like him. Fuck Hollywood!  The guy is like a Top 3 ATG in Wrestling.

Efron was the best actor

They needed him and his starpower

Guessing Kevin had more lines (more focus) than Kerry in the movie so they needed a better actor.

If they had Al Pacino playing Kevin, then im sure they could have used Zac as Kerry instead

I do agree that they could have used twenty other actors (Gary Oldman, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Danny DeVito, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski etc) instead of the one they used for Kerry though!

Weird WEIRD!

Decent effort from the guy who played Ric Flair in the movie. Shit result but decent effort.

Ric Flair’s liver must be pretty strong. I’m sure he took a ton of orals, which he probably washed down with beer or other alcoholic drinks.

I thought he did a great Rick Flair. But why not use the real Rick Flair and just de-age him like Indiana Jones?

That is a good question? I am not up on all the current actors.Someone mentioned the Reacher guy so I looked him up and he’s a big guy,maybe him or maybe the bigger Hemsworth brother.The guy who played Swede in Heartbreak Ridge could but he would be in his 60’s now.

No other than "The Reacher-guy" methinks.

Maybe the biggest Hemsworth too



But beside those two, there is nobody that can do Kerry Justice

Ric actually trained really hard and consistent despite the impression his physique may give, I suspect his longevity/resiliency is related to that.

The Von E's all look like they have a palsy or a touch of Down's.

Who played Kerry?

Is he really 5'5"?

EDIT: It was Jeremy allen white, says he is 5'7" here though

https://www.celebheights.com/s/Jeremy-Allen-White-49053.html

It's fuckin crazy that they used a sub 6 actor for Kerry who was towering

I mean, it's not like Jeremy Allen White was a superb actor with superior acting skills over a bigger actor

Unless Efron was wearing lifts he looked “significantly” taller than him at the premier event and he’s around 5’8

Yikes, so in reality the Kerry-actor may have been 5'5-5'6"

Not what you'd expect from someone playing Kerry , Hogan or Undertaker! Not like he is a super actor either
