Been waiting to talk about a wrestling movie, and THE IRON CLAW (2023) is the right one.
This A24 film stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Stanley Simmons respectively as the legendary Von Erich's who dominated the wrestling industry in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But along the way, tragedy follow the family. Not only inside the ring, the Kevin Von Erich has to wrestle in life battling hard times.
Written, produced and directed by Sean Durkin, this film is a tragic story about brotherhood, wrestling, and trauma. It's a great movie to watch, even if you're not a wrestling fan.
Wrestling legend Chavo Guerrero was the wrestling consultant and trained Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich. Also, AEW's longest reigning world heavyweight champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman MJF was not only in a cameo, but also executive producer in the film.
