Story:
A24 bio-sports drama written and directed by Sean Durkin. Based on a true story, The Iron Claw (2023) centers on the Von Erich brothers, Kevin, Kerry, David, and Mike (Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, and Stanley Simons), who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
Quotes:
Kevin Von Erich: Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mom tried to protect us with God. Pop tried to protect us with wrestling. He said if we were the toughest, the strongest, nothing could ever hurt us. I believed him. We all did.
David Von Erich: Good morning.
Doris: Pants tomorrow please, David.
Fritz Von Erich: Kerry, I want you to join your brothers in the ring.
Kerry Von Erich: Yes sir. I’d love that.
Fritz Von Erich: Now we all know Kerry’s my favorite, then Kev, then David, then Mike. But the rankings can always change.
Pam Adkisson: What do you want in life, Kevin Von Erich?
Kevin Von Erich: More ribs? I want to be with my family. You know, be with my brothers.
Pam Adkisson: What do you like to do with your brothers?
Kevin Von Erich: Together we can do anything.
David Von Erich: We’re here to restore justice to the wrestling federation that our father built with his own two hands. The hands that were passed down to us. The hands that will deliver the iron claw to you!

Pam Adkisson: I love your family, Kev.
Kevin Von Erich: Look at my beautiful brothers.
