There was actually one more brother that took his own life but the director said there was already so much trauma in this movie he didn't want to add more.
I read about that too. Such a tragedy 😔
Really wish they added it as an aside.
@@Knightowl1980 actually he was added, "iron claw" mike Von Erich is the combination of real life Mike and Chris
The real life story behind this movie is so absolutely heartbreaking.. 6 sons & only one remains alive today.. Fritz dying of brain & lung cancer.. The various ways in which all the brothers die.. The fact that every 2 or 3 years Kevin would lose another member of his family.. That poor man has been through so very much in his life.. This story has always gotten to me & they did such a great job with the majority of this movie.. Add in the fact that a couple of the wrestlers they feature in this, Bruiser Brody & Gino Hernandez, were also taken far too soon & met such grim ends to murder & overdose adds to it as well (or at least it did for me).. And the fact that Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was the actors' coach behind the scenes & he is the nephew of the late Eddie Guerrero, who we also lost way too soon.. This movie is surrounded by SO much loss & heartbreak & yet is SUCH a powerful, amazing film.. Thanks for watching this, Matty..❤
Zac Efron is such an underrated actor. Can’t wait to see more of what he has to offer in the future. He definitely deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Actor this year!
@@joshuacoldwater the whale was also released in December and Brendan Fraser was nominated for and received an oscar
“we’ll be your brothers” took me out too 😭😭😭
It made me laugh that scene was completely uncalled for, what kid tells that to their dad? 🤣🤣😂
@@RonaldKeith idk maybe a kid who sees his dad crying because he doesn’t have brothers anymore?
One of my favorite movies of 2023! It’s a shame it didn’t get any Oscar nominations.
Watched it with my brother, we both cried and hugged in the theaters, great movie.
I lost a brother i can't imagine losing 5, just a phenomenal movie and Kevin is a wonderful human, Zac did a great job in this
I am so sorry to hear this. Lots of love from the Netherlands ❤
@@ranikhan1319 thank you 🩷
The story of the Von Erichs has been likened unto a Greek Tragedy.
True to form, the scene of Kerry on the boat on his way to the afterlife; paying a coin as fare to Charon the Ferryman.
If you're ready for more heartbreak the movie didn't talk about a few things:
David was married to his second wife at the time of his passing. His first marriage ended after their 13-week-old daughter died of SIDS.
Kerry had been married and had two daughters at the time of his passing as well. One of Kerry's daughters tried her hand at wrestling for a few years but ended up retiring.
There was also a 6th brother
i remember sitting in my car dead silent for 5 minutes after watching this movie in theatres, sucks the oscars snubbed this film, but i heard it got released after the cutoff period for the awards, hopefully its gets nominated next year beacuse zach effron deserves his nom and or award.
It actually came out in time, just near the end of the cutoff period. The Academy already had its frontrunners & unfortunately this just ended up getting overlooked. It did get 32 nominations & 3 wins from different awards/critics organizations though.
I've never watched wrestling in my life and had no clue what this movie was about going into it.. man was I crying by the end.
Big fan of Wwf/Wwe from late 80’s to 2000 basically. The main draw and appeal is that it’s these super hero looking, buffed up good guys fighting super villain looking buffed up alpha bad guys. The wrestlers from back then were either jacked or full of personality, so as a dude it was awesome seeing these colorful alpha characters go at it. Jeremy Allen Whites character, I remember him from Wwe in the early 90’s. He was pretty popular with the fans and had a fantastic look but never quite accented to superstar level and I always wondered why as a kid. The Ric Flair guy on here, that guy was real and a super legit popular bad guy character from wrestling who was more known for his charisma and flamboyance and awesome ability at talking rather than being known for being big or buff.
I watched WCCW on a July afternoon in 1983. I was already a fan. I read about the Von Erichs in 1981 because I'm a Boston native and all we had was WWF because all over the country there were territories and 3 organizations, the WWF (later WWE), NWA and AWA. We got an NWA feed from Dallas starting in 1982. I really liked David. I was 15-16 years old and had posters of him on my wall.
Anyway, on that July day in 1983, the WCCW main event was Kevin Von Erich vs Harley Race for the title. Kevin hurt his shoulder and David tried to get Kevin to throw in the towel. Race kicked David and David ran into the ring and beat on Race. Then a voice in my head said "This is what I want to do" . Then, when David died in Japan, so did my dream. I was going to salvage it and try for the WWF, but it became children's programming.
The reason the movie went from non-stop happy to non-stop depressing is because when David died, the promotion's popularity started to wane. Kerry's title reign lasted only 18 days only to lose it back to Ric Flair in Japan. David was going to be champion for a year because he was reliable, went to every match, was great on the mic and did well in other territories. People in the industry believe a David Von Erich title would have made the WCCW promotion so big that even a Hulk Hogan led WWF wouldn't have been able to keep up.
I don’t have a brother, but I do have a older sister. I literally called her after this movie. This movie hit home 😭
The curse was the lesson that Fritz Von Erich imparted on his sons, which is to never show any weakness to anyone and that crying is a sign of weakness. This led to the brothers apart from Kevin closing themselves off from the world and becoming detached from everyone around them, despite their love for their family.
In the end, when Marshall and Ross told their dad that it's okay to cry and show emotions, that's when the curse ended. Very poetic. God bless Pam for being Kevin's pillar of hope during his lowest point.
Rewatching those last scenes with you of the afterlife reunion with the baby brother & Zac’s scene with his sons had me teary eyed too 🥺
Saw this on my birthday during the holidays when I turned 21 it’s officially my favorite movie of 2023.
i went to see this movie bc i heard it was a good movie and the guy i liked wanted to see it so we saw it together. i have 0 sports/athletics knowledge or interest so i was expecting it to just be a decent sports film, but i was not at all prepared for the onslaught of grief and loss. by the end of the movie i was crying all over my date’s lap in the theater and my first break down was when kevin’s wife was watching him hold back his tears at his second brothers funeral. then kerry’s last scene where kevin finds him and carries his body, still dripping brain matter… and of course the ending scene with kevin’s sons made me burst into tears again. so much of the movie man i was just CRYING sm.
Watched a documentary about their lives and the full story is actually more tragic and sad.
An absolutely amazing film.
Classic film.
David was the best technical sound wrestler out of the brothers
This was only released for cinemas in UK last week, so just went to see it last time, and checking some reactions today.
Just came across your channel man, and great reaction. Pure chill, really enjoyed it and you’re not over the top, laughing or crying hysterically like some over reactors hahahaha
Well worth the sub!
Looking forward to the bear reaction!!
That after live scene broke me honestly
The scene where Kevin’s with his sons and they say they can be his brothers is what hit me the hardest
My mama would go and see them every Friday night at what was then, the Sportatorium here in Dallas. She left us kids alone and we would watch wrestling on TV at 10 pm. I would keep looking in the audience to see her but never did. I remember watching ALL of them, including the dad, and they just kept dwindling out. I loved watching Chief Wahoo McDaniel. The Von Erich’s were really good looking and that’s what most people cared about. We wanted them to win but we’d rather just look at them.
Zac Efron should play He-man if they ever make another live action movie
Im a wrestling fan and knew about the story, and I really wanted to watch the movie, my gf and bf came with me (non of them like wrestling or know anything about it). My gf ended up in a river of tears, and my friend was completely silent. Such a great movie
Matty, I love the fact you are watching 'The Iron Claw' while drinking White Claw..lmfao! Don't think that was lost on me, bruh. Cause that shit had to be intentional.. 😂😂 It's the little things in life..😉🤣✌🏻
oh, i am so glad you watched it. i saw it in the theatre, not knowing anything about the story and it was very disturbing!
The Iron claw itself was the true curse. It was the inescapable hold.
One thing Kevin did not like about this movie was the portrayal of his father. He understood that for a movie or story to work it would need to have some sort of antagonist. But he has always described his father as a "decent and honorable man," and blames the deaths of his brothers who took their own lives on alcohol and drug abuse.
I understand why Kevin feels that way, his dad was his hero. It's hard to let go of that.
But alcohol and drug abuses are branches, not roots. Also, other wrestlers like Lou Thesz have been very vocal on Fritz's way of educating his sons.
The children actually are wrestlers now. Marshall and Ross Von Erich.
I want to watch this reaction so bad but I need to wait until I actually see the movie. As a wrestling fan I'm very familiar with the story of the Von Erich family, absolutely tragic. I've heard so many amazing things about the movie and I look forward to watching your reaction Matty!
Fritz made it as a promotor. He was midcard at best when he wrestled.
The character Jeremy Allen White played, Kerry, he was actually really tall in addition to being built like a body building super hero. He had a perfect wrestling look. That was the only criticism with Jeremy Allen White being cast as him, a perfect casting choice other than Jeremy being very short and it shows in the film. Kerry was 6’2 in real life. Also, the actor that played Ric Flair, didn’t think he was a good casting choice. He played the smack talking villain part right but Ric was so much more than that and he was so unique, like a unicorn. It’s just really hard to find good casting for him to do him Justice.
The 2 sons actually do wrestle. He and them are actually gonna be at a wrestling covention in a few weeks and im hoping to meet them
Brother this Movie hurt Me so Bad And it's Based on A True Story, Wow, i mean Wow, it's what I do Everyday Workout with my Dad, Good Reaction Matty Bro 💪✊😔
Drinkin a white claw while watchin The Iron Claw lol clever
32:36🤣🤣🤣😁
Your channel rules bro. Keep up the good work! Hope you're doing well
Kevin has two sons Marshall and Ross who are wrestlers themselves
Ross is in one of the scenes.
Ahh
Honestly the best reaction yet! I haven’t seen the movie so I feel like I was watching it too. I’m definitely going to watch this one as soon as I can.
Kevin von Erich’s two sons are a great tag team Marshall and Ross
Wrestling is an incredibly hard business to begin with. You give your health and wellness away to entertain other people and their kids, instead of being with your own family. Adding family pressure on top of that, combined with the things you can easily end up doing to ease your pain, it becomes a minefield. There's a reason why so many have died under 40. God bless them all and may they all rest in peace.
Fritz and a business partner had the majority ownership of the wrestling company, and they sold it to Jerry Jarrett. It was Kevin that actually fought the sale but couldn't do anything with a minority ownership.
Zac got HUGE for this film.. He looks like a tree trunk, lol. Like the base of a f**king Redwood tree.. Smh. Lol.
While it was true Mike didn't like wrestling to the degree of his brothers it's false that he only started wrestling after David's death. Mike like the rest of his siblings started very early and he wrestled alongside his brothers quite a few times way before a lot of the tragedies. Mike may not have been as physically imposing as the rest of his brothers but in real life he was 6 feet tall so he did inherit the height and was definitely a lot tougher than the movie portrayed but he certainly was shy and less confident.
I watched this in theaters. And was literally sad all day after that 😢
Beautiful film
LET'S GOOOOOOOO MATTY!! ❤
I've been enjoying non-wrestling fans reacting to this movie. Their family story is a tragedy that transcends our silly little sport. The only unfortunate part is that there are so many more cautionary tales similar to this.
David was actually the best performer in every way. He just didnt have the look that Kevin and especially Kerry had.
How do you edit amd react to the
I remember the day Kerry passed away, I was only a kid back the and it was one of the first famous people I got news that they passed away.
There was one more brother, Chris, who committed suicide in 91.
Mike died from an overdose in japan if the stories from other wrestlers is to be believed.
Kerry broke his foot but didn't lose it at that time. However, Fritz got him to start training in the ring prematurely, and Kerry hurt his foot even more, resulting in amputation. It was quite well-known within pro wrestling that Kerry had an artificial foot. Not outside of pro wrestling, tho. Kerry was let go from WWF because of steroids and he was arrested for drug possession. While on probation for that, he again got arrested for drug possession and was facing a prison sentence. Bwfore he was sentenced, he ended his life. There was also two infant death's in two of the other bothers families. Jack Jr was electrocuted and fell into the melted snow and drown in the water.
The thing most ppl don’t get abt wrestling is ur body takes a beating worse then most other sports . Ur their not getting hit , but their getting slammed on the mat prob thousands of times every year . The scheduling too is terrible , especially in wwe . Like they’ll have 3-5 shows every week in different states and towns plus the 2 tv tapings and then the big PLE/ppv they’ll have . Thats why a lot of ppl in wrestling were mainly big strong guys , cause they’re always training so their body can be prepared for that . They never get a real rest , cause their either training or wrestling or traveling (which they travel a lot )
Thats why I think it’s worse then the nfl ufc , ya individually 1 game or fight is way worse then just 1 match . But the nfl dudes get months off every year , ufc dudes only fight 2-3 times a year . And also its why u see a lot of wrestlers dating/ marrying other wrestlers , if ur in wwe and ur dating someone who’s not apart of wwe in anyway you’ll prob hardly ever see them
there was another brother they left out of the movie
Iron Claw ❤
I'm sorry, I know it can be annoying when people don't comment on the video you reacted to 😶🌫 but I'm just curious whatever happened to the Orphan (2009) reaction? I've been waiting for it to go public since October 😭😂
oh im so sorry about that! i had some issues with copyright and it was taking a long time to fix. I try to post as much / as often as i can so if a video is being really stubborn I gotta move onto the next video sometimes but I will go back to it and post it soon!
@@mattyreacts no need to be sorry, I totally get what you mean. Although I bet I can't imagine how frustrating it must be with copyrights & editing the same video over & over! Thanks for letting me know ✌
You so need to do reactions to wwe matches! Being a judo guy though don’t be too serious it’s entertainment haha.
You can’t fake gravity
Kerry loses his title against Ric flair in Japan.
Can we just talk about how hot Matty is
56th
Thank you, Matty! 🤼♂ I love this one. Kudos to writer/director Sean Durkin.
