    This is possibly the best pro wrestling movie ever made. I went in already knowing their tragic ends & I still came out feeling the vicious gut punches of emotions. They all did such an amazing job.

      It's either this or The Wrestler. My live show TUHOS will do a discussion on that one, one day.

      that is because it was about wrestling. this is a family drama. they could have been football players and the story would have been the same.@@chrischar9428

    Movie didn't even include Chris, arguably the most tragic.

      Yeah I tried to not go into what the film didn't have cause it's a review about the movie itself.

      Mike was the embodiment of Chris as well because they both mirrored each other’s problems in a lot of ways.

      The director & even Kevin Von Erich said including Chris was just too much tragedy to take in. Consider how tragic the film portrays the Von Erichs already, could you take Chris’ tragic end too?

      As a lifelong wrestling fan that started watching in the 80s I noticed that too I mean how do you not notice if you know this story before the movie but as a film and acting nerd I do get why they didn’t knowledge that there was another brother, the movie is already completely enough as it is, and there really any time left in the runtime if they threw Chris in there, because if he was just thrown in in the movie as it is, I don’t know where they would’ve really had him, except for maybe at the family scenes, and then his death scene. It would’ve been way too much for the audience to handle especially for the people that didn’t know this story going in. As a wrestling fan yes it’s a sad movie, but it didn’t punch me in the God because I’ve just grown up knowing what happened but people that didn’t every person that has watched this without knowing the story is left just bawling.

      It's a movie, there is a thing called pacing, and including him into the story would have took away from the story they were trying to convey. It helps to do your own research instead of crying online.

    I graduated with Mike, I don’t remember him being a musical prodigy or anything music related at all. Not sure where they got that. Chris sold me a bag of weed one time. I met Fritz when I was in 8th grade, couldn’t believe how freakin big his hands were when we shook hands.

      Yeah for the sake of time on the video I didn't want to turn this into an "accuracy of the story" outside of it looking mostly correct. Like honestly the guy who played Ric Flair must have done zero research

    Kerry was alive when Jerry Jarrett came in,Kevin was spared addiction on screen,Ricky Vaughn was glossed over, Brody n Gino could have been tales the boys shared,one heartfelt the other cautionary, Chris wasn't even in the film n while he wanted to wrestle ,could've been shown the better the dynamic of Chris wanting in whole Mike never did.

    My only problem was that they glossed over the fact Kerry and the other brother in the movie that committed suicide were both facing jail time because of DUIs and made it seem like it was because they missed their brothers. Other than that a really good movie that far to many people didn't see.
