It's crazy to think that 17 years ago, Zac Efron was starring in the first High School Musical Movie on Disney Channel & now he's playing a wrestler in an A24 Movie based on one of the most legendary Wrestling Families of all time.

[@megamoviez]

I just saw you on Zach Popes video too

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

He really transformed himself for this movie, inside and out.

[@Gumblina1]

​@@DrumdumsMovieReviews mayhem review 🎬😎☠️🤟

[@xDARTHxWENISx]

"Your jaw's going to drop at Zac Efron." 🤣🤣🤣🤣Drop on the floor!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@BluRayAddict1]

I can't wait to check this film out.

[@robdafoe2359]

Can't wait to see this movie!!!

[@KingAceHernandez1291]

As Native Texan I always admire the von erichs this movie is really good

[@Joliverwhite]

I love wrestling so I’m looking forward to watching this

[@corybowman9583]

I love wrestling. I met Kerry Von Erich back in 1988. I was 13 years old. Nice guy.

[@Hank_Kingsley81]

Very excited to see this one... I was huge wrestling fan in the 80s can't wait for this one

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

It's really heavy. And sad.

[@ms.carter3843]

Nice Reaction Mr. Lee I’m Excited To See This

[@chanelhenderson8460]

Never been into wrestling but im so looking forward to this it looks so good.

[@DaveG777]

I've been a wrestling fan since the 80s, still watch it to this day. Really looking forward to checking this one out. Kevin Von Erich is making an appearance on AEW next Wednesday night.

[@mikieson]

Might check it out soon thanks Lee

[@daveshepperd1749]

I'm a Native Texan and grew up in the 70s and 80s. The Von Erichs were huge.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yeah they are Texas royalty.

[@wrath231]

Im a huge wrestling fan! Looks like a banger!

[@aaronwhite3298]

Fellow KZbinr RyanCam is a wrestling fan and knows this story well and shared it with me...I look forward to it, but i know how it's going to play out😢.

[@chadmiller4601]

The Von Erich family im a very blessed and extremely grateful to say are very awesome friends of mine for a long time. Kevin remains a big brother figure to me and one of my life's greatest inspirations! I knew Kerry as well and Kevin's sons Marshall and Ross who are 3rd generation wrestlers are wonderful friends as well and doing fantastic in wrestling. Kevin's daughter Kristen is a beautiful, incredible soul who i cherish like a sister and they family is quite large these days. Kerry's daughters Hollie and Lscey are also awesome and besides people and fantastic moms!!!!

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@jadapandy]

I am not into wrestling at all, but I know about these brothers. Definitely seeing this flick.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

I'm not either, but I tend to love the movies about them.

[@jadapandy]

@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Me too. The Wrestler was very good.

[@riley6803]

There's a show called "Dark side of the ring" .they had an episode on this. INCREDIBLE STUFF 🔥 tragic what happened to them

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

I heard it's a great show.

[@The3rdGunman]

I remember back in the 80s once Saturday morning cartoons when off, Jerry Lawler Wrastlin' would come one.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Hell yeah. Good times.

[@MaartenVanlangendonck-l5d]

I love Lee, its the best channel for movies!

[@Rick.Hunter.Wyatt6]

Hello Drumdums hope you're well my awesome friend . i was a big wresting fan in the 1980's especially the Nwa and Wccw . wasn't really a von erich fan i was more a freebird guy . but i was very sad when all of the von Erich brothers dead except kevin . i believe three of the deaths were suicides and there are many different versions about how David ( the first brother who die ) really die . hope to see the movie soon..

[@lupehn]

The attitude era was the best but I’m from Texas so the von Eric’s are royalty here along with Eddie Guerrero

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

I have followed wrestling since I was a kid and would have been a professional wrestler if life wouldn't have gotten in the way. I still follow wrestling today. Iron Claw? Bro I've gotta tell you I've seen zero 0 publicity for this film if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known about it. They won't sell the movie this way.😞 I would see it theaters but unfortunately all of the theaters around here closed down will have to wait for it physical. I remember when they announced the Texas Tornado committed suicide!😭 Wrestling fans were speechless!😧 Anyway thanks for letting us know about this movie Lee!👉🙂👈

[@Justin-g2p]

I had to pause the reaction before it starts as this is a very anticipated movie for me. Yes I do watch wrestling still and I remember Kerri when he was in the WWE as The Texas Tornado. I only knew of WWE as a child. Then as I got older I really got into WCW and basically the history of wrestling. As I realized my favorite wrestlers that were all of a sudden gone from the WWE were still wrestling. Before Vince took over there were territories. And let me tell you something, the Von Erichs were gods in their territory. They were unbelievably beloved. And if they tell the true story, this movie is probably going to blow your minds out of the water. I saw the preview, they got a great cast and they really looked the part. It was in the 80s. And if anyone doesn't know the story of this family, don't look it up. Just go see the movie. It will guarantee to shake you to the core.

[@austincaucci]

Big wrestling fan and I can’t wait for this movie. I don’t know much about the family but I’ve been on board since zac and Jeremy were announced for the film.

[@Trill_Tour]

We need more feel good holiday movies like this

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Haha right?!

[@jasonito23]

I used to watch wrestling too during Hulk Hogan, Roddy Rowdy Piper, Junkyard Dog, Hacksaw Jim Duggins, Jake the Snake, Ultimate Warrior, Jimmy Superfly Snuka....all them guys.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yep. Sounds like we are close in age.

[@SewerTapes]

I'm not a huge fan of pro wrestling, but I admire the physicality. Also, the behind the scenes stories are always nuts. I've been looking forward to this mainly because the Von Erichs are local celebrities, and Zac Efron has made a fan out of me over the last couple of years. The guy is a seriously good actor.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yeah it seems like every wrestling story is engulfed in drama.

[@cameronstewart5069]

Love the recommendation, Lee. This one has been on my list all year as a huge pro-wrestling fan. Kevin Von Erich is actually going to be appearing on AEW programming next week

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Awesome.

[@bigjonstx]

With his sons.

[@bigjonstx]

A few AEW wrestlers were in the movie too!

[@cameronstewart5069]

@@bigjonstx Current AEW World Champion MJF appears as Lance Von Erich! Not sure how substantial his role his though

[@derrickhaggard]

Excited for that.

[@David-wo9un]

Grew up in the Hogan area and really enjoyed WWF at the time, even went to a live event once just for fun. I wasn’t aware this was coming out, but it could be interesting although I have not followed wrestling at all for a very long time. I would love to see a full review.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yeah I only followed wrestling back in the 80s during the WWF era. Had never heard of this family.

[@randall-thehorrorwriter]

If memory serves the Von Ericks still have some family members who wrestle.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yes they do.

[@goldstandard842]

I want to see that movie so much I haved always followed world class championship wrestling as a kid and there was one von Erich tragedy after another it was horrible hopefully the movie does a good job of telling the von Erich story

[@Jrd387]

Wrestling fan of the past here. This family is the definition of tragedy.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Definitely. Wow.

[@mcbri7608]

Brett Hart has a similar life story. R.i.p Owen, Davey, and Stu.

[@alifuller1658]

🙏

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yeah I remember the one Hart brother that died on a PPV special. Crazy.

[@kevinmunn666]

There was a trailer for the Iron claw, I know I just saw Dream Scenario and there wasn't much on horror its like dark comedy drama which I did laugh a few times it was quite enjoyable. Probably one of the better Nicholas Cage's films.

[@SuperPrefan]

Dark side of the ring does an episode on The Von Erochs!

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

I heard! I need to check it out.

[@gaba-goo3733]

Christ, did the iron claw release get pushed back a week? Lol im still waiting and missed the early access screening 😢😢

[@43bigsteve]

Been a wrestling fan my whole life (I’m 41). I’m pretty familiar with the whole Von Erich family story, and was a big fan of Kerry Von Erich. Really looking forward to checking this one out

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Awesome!

[@DefConprime28]

In fact you know what it's January I'm going to bet $1 to anybody that the highest grossing movie of 2024 will be a horror movie

[@JenMistress]

Considering I hadn't heard about this movie, the title had me thinking it was that guy who always said, "I'll get you next time, Gadget, next time." However, the one brother I'm somewhat familiar with is Kerry, mostly because of seeing his WWF matches as The Texas Tornado on dad's old VHS tapes. This might be interesting to check out, and with all the wrestling KZbin channels I subscribe to, I'm sure I'll be hearing more about it later on. Hell a couple of weekends ago, I felt like I was being spammed by CM Punk videos, that's how many wrestling channels I subscribe to, so kinda surprising it's a horror channel I first hear about this from. Anyways, looking forward to the review. Thank you, Lee.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

I checked out a small doc on KZbin this morning about the family. Really tragic story.

[@eklypised]

Man the Von Erichs went through some shit

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Oh definitely. Oof.

[@ElJorro]

I am not a wrestling fan but I do love stories and this family’s story seems fascinating.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Agreed. A good story is a good story.

[@zackzaharko89]

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m looking forward to checking this out, I’ve liked Efron’s acting choices lately. While the films may not be as memorable, he’s been very solid & has grown.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yeah he's been taking on some interesting roles.

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Watched them wrestle every Saturday night on Tv back in the day. I’m struggling with Lip casted as Kerry Vin Eric. He doesn’t look tall like Kerry appeared to be.

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

No he doesn't. But he turns in a solid performance.

[@BigBrianBruce]

It wasn’t a great movie, as the ric flair impressions, sucked, but it was a good movie one of the best drama of 2023. The story was heart breaking, tragic and emotionally rough to go in the journey with the brothers but it was a story really about the brothers and special love, and bond they all had for each other. It’s a movie that looks at men and slot of the issues that men have or sometimes face in life but definitely a film that uses topics to make a great discussion on what it like to be a man.

[@juanfabian482]

Hey bro a question there may be Óscar para zac efron

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

He was good but I don't think he'll win the Oscar.

[@juanfabian482]

​@@DrumdumsMovieReviewsthere is a lot of talk about a scene that can give you point for the Óscar but they did not want to give details. I hope he gets his nomination

[@nastynastke]

Can I bring my 11 year old to it?!?!?

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

It has some super depressing themes. Not an "action" type movie at all.

[@LilDew]

Did it have good songs?

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]

Yes some good 70s rock.

[@jonn8911]

Can’t stand that shameless actor

[@DrumdumsMovieReviews]
