All Elite Wrestling (Aew) will bridge the past with the present on July 12 when the promotion, which boasts broadcast deals with TBS, TNT and HBO Max, will feature Kevin Von Erich on a Texas stage for its All In premium event.

Von Erich is the sole surviving brother of the influential wrestling dynasty, portrayed by Zac Efron in 2023’s The Iron Claw, a family which suffered multiple tragedies with the deaths of siblings Kerry, David and Mike Von Erich (played in the movie by Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson and Stanley Simons, respectively). The brothers, who hailed from the Dallas area, were local heroes (their father, Fritz, introduced the iron claw, in which he gripped an opponent’s head with his hand as an immobilizing move) and grew into a global phenomenon.

I caught “F1 The Movie” over the weekend, and I’ve gotta say — this thing rips. From the cinematography to the performances, it’s as intense and locked-in as any sports movie I’ve seen in a long time. It hits the gas and never lets up, and you can feel it in every frame. It’s a great movie, plain and simple — and it’s gonna do serious numbers at the box office. Watching it got me thinking about other sports movies that go just as hard, and so I pulled together a top 7 list of the best ones streaming right now. It’s got different sports, different speeds, but all quality. Let’s go!

Top 7 sports movies on streaming right now.

No. 7: ‘Rez Ball’

Films have a magical ability to transport us across worlds and time when done right. While fictional tales have their own magic, some stories are so extraordinary, so deeply human, that they deserve to be told on the silver screen.

Such biographical dramas, rooted in real-life events, have the rare power to not only captivate and entertain but also to educate and inspire. These films peel away the layers of history and paint a picture of the triumphs, struggles, and complexities of some of the most remarkable individuals who helped shape the world and occasionally, and made it a better place.

From tales of heroism in the face of unimaginable horrors and adversities to stories of quiet resilience, Hollywood has no shortage of biographical dramas that resonate. Although there are times when the creative flair takes over and adds a bit of dramatic flourish to create a story worthy of cinematic appeal,...

The daughter of one of the Von Erich brothers doesn’t believe her father was portrayed accurately in the A24 movie The Iron Claw.

Lacey Von Erich, daughter of Kerry Von Erich, is speaking out against the Sean Durkin-helmed project which centered around the influential wrestling family. On Monday’s episode of Investigation Discovery’s new docuseries Hollywood Demons, she says the depiction of her father in the movie was “so inaccurate it was heart-wrenching.”

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children, and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” Lacey says in the episode. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Lacey explained that she, her sister Hollie and her mother Catherine Murray were omitted from The Iron Claw‘s story. The film did,...

The Iron Claw, directed by Sean Durkin and starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, and Lily James, is a devastating exploration of masculinity and strength through the lens of the famous Von Erich wrestling family. When it was released in 2023, the film opened to great acclaim from fans and critics. However, Lacey Von Erich, the daughter of Kerry Von Erich (Jeremy Allen White in The Iron Claw), recently criticized the film for its dishonest portrayal of her father and the Von Erich clan.

Lacey Von Erich appears in an upcoming episode of Investigation Discovery's Hollywood Demons, which airs on April 21. If you have watched The Iron Claw and don't remember Kerry having children, it's because the movie omitted his wife and kids to hone in on his internal demons. "My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children, and he didn’t have a wife or anything,...

Lacey Von Erich, daughter of late professional wrestler Kerry Von Erich, has criticized The Iron Claw for its portrayal of her father in the A24 biographical film. Speaking in a preview for an upcoming episode of Hollywood Demons on Investigation Discovery, she said the film left out significant aspects of his personal life.

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” she said. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Kerry Von Erich, played by Jeremy Allen White, is depicted in the film during a period that includes his motorcycle crash, the resulting foot amputation, his use of painkillers, and his death by suicide in 1993. The film does not mention his wife, Catherine Murray, or their daughters,...

The Von Erich family is speaking up to say A24 got it wrong.

In a forthcoming episode of Investigation Discovery’s docuseries “Hollywood Demons,” which airs Monday, Lacey Von Erich, the daughter of Kerry Von Erich (played by Jeremy Allen White), said A24 left out some crucial details with its portrayal of her professional wrestler father.

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” Lacy Von Erich said in a preview for “Hollywood Demons” (via The Independent). “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

“The Iron Claw” depicts Kerry Von Erich’s motorcycle incident, which led to his foot amputation, his addiction to painkillers and ultimately his suicide. However, the film omits his wife, Catherine Murray, and his two daughters.

Nearly two years after A24 immortalized the wrestling family’s tragic story on the big screen in The Iron Claw, the Von Erichs are speaking up.

In an upcoming episode of Investigation Discovery‘s Hollywood Demons, airing Monday at 9pm, Lacey Von Erich criticized the Sean Durkin-helmed 2023 film for its “inaccurate” and “heart-wrenching” depiction of her father Kerry Von Erich (portrayed by Jeremy Allen White).

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” said Lacey, who is also a wrestler, in a preview. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Although The Iron Claw addressed Kerry’s motorcycle crash that led to his foot being amputated, his abuse of painkillers and his death by suicide in...

Jeremy Allen White has been a rising star for many years, but his recent performance has put him in the spotlight. He is widely recognized for his intense and emotionally tormented role of chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in The Bear. However, White’s journey to stardom didn’t start in the chaotic kitchen.

His first big role was in the series Shameless as Lip Gallagher, where he played the role of a street-smart yet troubled young guy. He showcased his talent for more than a decade in the 11-season series. Beyond Shameless, he displayed his acting in After Everything, where he played a young man battling cancer and navigating his love life.

White’s ability to bring realism to his roles and convey depth has made him one of Hollywood’s favorites long before his role as Carmy.

Let’s dive into...

Since 2012, with its first theatrical release, A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, A24 has been hooking audiences with a distinct style emphasizing unbridled creativity. Many A24 films earn an R-rating, allowing filmmakers to push the boundaries with taboo subjects, steering away from the fear of studio interference if a film isn't seen as particularly palatable for general audiences.

With so many R-rated films, it's hard to narrow down the best of the best, as each A24 film is unique in presentation and structure, even if it's from the same director. From bone-chilling horror movies to gripping dramas, these R-rated A24 flicks exhibit true artistry and an extensive knowledge of the craft of filmmaking that's difficult to achieve.

X is the Beginning of a Thrilling Series A Film Shoot Goes Horrifically Awry

From writer/director Ti West, X serves as the primary film in perhaps A24's most popular series.

Hollywood has seen a lot of surprising revelations about some of the most popular celebrities, and some of them are even more questionable than the controversies surrounding them. For one, there’s the fact that some celebrities simply have some of the worst ways they manage their personal hygiene, and the hot hunk Zac Efron is one of them.

As surprising as it may seem, even though he is one of the most handsome fan-favorite hotshots in the entertainment industry, the 37-year-old actor allegedly has one of the most disgusting habits that could have anyone gag at him. In fact, his practice for maintaining his personal hygiene is actually even worse than Matthew McConaughey’s!

Exclusive: Following the recent success of You’re Cordially Invited, Amazon MGM Studios is ramping up pre-production on another Will Ferrell comedy, with sources telling Deadline that Zac Efron is now set to star alongside him. Like You’re Cordially Invited, Nicholas Stoller is directing from his own script.

The new comedy follows a young convict (Efron) fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life.

Producers include Stoller Global Solutions’ Stoller and Gloria Sanchez Productions’ Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alex Brown.

The film reunites Efron with Amazon MGM following his role in Ricky Stanicky, which debuted on Prime Video last year.

Recently, Efron wrapped production on Famous, director Jody Hill’s latest feature film, a provocative Los Angeles-set thriller that explores the dark side of celebrity.

The Iron Claw unapologetically holds a mirror to the world of professional wrestling – the same world it bases itself on. The A24 film, which brims with energy but also superficiality, is based on the true story of the Von Erich wrestling dynasty – a Texas family plagued by tragedy.

Sean Durkin, known best for Martha Marcy May Marlene and The Nest, assembled a strong cast for the film, including Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, and Holt McCallany.

Efron’s journey from the boy in High School Musical to wrestler Kevin Von Erich, the loyal leader of the wrestling clan, does reflect his versatility and willingness to take on challenging roles. That, nevertheless, is for the soul, but what about the tummy? Let’s look into what Zac Efron might have earned for playing Von Erich.

Breaking down how much Zac Efron...

David Von Erich's cause of death is alluded to in The Iron Claw, but conflicting real-life stories have caused confusion about what really killed the ill-fated pro-wrestler. Written and directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw is a sports biopic about the famous Von Erich brothers from Texas who followed in the footsteps of their pro-wrestler father, Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany), and created a dynasty. The Iron Claw tells the true story of the Von Erichs' rise to fame as pro-wrestlers in the '80s and the "curse" believed to have caused a string of tragic deaths in their family.

Although there were six Von Erich brothers in real life, the eldest, Jack Adkisson Jr., died at the age of six before the timeline of the movie. The Iron Claw also leaves out the youngest Von Erich brother, Chris, who died by suicide in 1991. As such, not every...

The terms "heartthrob" and "movie star" often go hand in hand, as Hollywood was built on stories of young, attractive people. In most live-action projects on both the big and small screens, there is usually an actor meant to be the main eye candy, or at the very least, be pleasant for the audience to look at. Although this approach to casting is without a doubt shallow, as actors should be hired for their skill of the craft, heartthrobs still exist in modern cinema. But, thankfully, many viewers are sensitive enough not to objectify actors.

Hollywood heartthrob culture reached a fever pitch in the 2000s, when most films premiered exclusively in theaters and people still read magazines detailing the lives of their favorite celebrities. While pop culture has largely moved away from declaring which actors receive heartthrob statuses, it is essential to reflect on a time when an actor could...

Good Will Hunting was released in 1997, but its plot remains timeless. Directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, it tells the story of a janitor at MIT who's a self-taught math genius and recently paroled from jail. Stellan Skarsgård plays Professor Gerald Lambeau, who discovers the talent in Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon. Robin Williams plays Dr. Sean Maguire, the psychologist who's able to get through to Will and help him deal with his self-destructive tendencies.

The movie won Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Robin Williams' performance at the 1998 Academy Awards. It's widely considered one of the best movies of all time for its amazing performances and incredibly inspirational story that involves the topics of working-class resilience, mental health and the role of a mentor in a young person's life. It's not based on a true story, but Good Will Hunting...

Zac Efron is joined by two former Disney stars for his new A24 thriller where he plays two roles. Efron started his career in the early 2000s and rose to fame as a teen idol in the High School Musical movies with his lead role as the basketball star Troy Bolton. The first two films in the trilogy were released as Disney Channel Original Movies, though the third installment was released in theaters by Walt Disney Pictures.

During this same period, Efron also appeared in the musical movie Hairspray and the comedy 17 Again. After the High School Musical trilogy, Efron went on to star in New Year's Eve, The Lucky One, The Paperboy, Neighbors, Dirty Grandpa, Baywatch, and The Greatest Showman. In 2023, Efron starred in the A24 film The Iron Claw as the professional wrestler Kevin Von Erich, which was praised as a career-best performance. Now, Efron is reuniting with A24 for another film,...

On Tuesday, Zac Efron opened up about his journey with stem cell therapy following his training for A-24’s film The Iron Claw.

Efron, 36, portrayed pro wrestler Kevin Von Erich in the 2023 movie.

“I fully commit to my roles, which I love, but it takes a toll – my back was messed up at The Iron Claw, even after months of Pt,” Efron wrote on social media. He said he was “curious about stem cell therapy” and contacted Dr. Adeel Khanat, the Canada-based clinic Eterna Health.

Zac Efron is opening up about the stem cell treatment he recently went through to fix a back injury.

The 36-year-old actor took to his Instagram account to praise his doctor and discuss the six-month road to recovery he’s been on.

The Mayo Clinic says that “stem cells are found in almost all tissues of the body. And they are needed for the maintenance of tissue as well as for repair after injury.”

Zac wrote a long caption about the process and how it’s helped him, but it all started with how he ended up in stem cell therapy. “I fully commit to my roles, which I love, but it takes a toll,” the actor explained after hurting his back on set of The Iron Claw.

He went on to say that he’d tried physical therapy, but he didn’t notice many results.

Exclusive: Phoebe Dynevor is set to join Zac Efron in director Jody Hill’s latest feature film, Famous, a provocative Los Angeles-set thriller that explores the dark side of celebrity.

In Famous, Zac Efron will star in dual roles, playing both overzealous fan, Lance Dunkquist, and Hollywood heartthrob, James Jansen. The film is based on the acclaimed novel by bestselling author Blake Crouch and is adapted for the screen by Chad Hodge, who also adapted Crouch’s Wayward Pines trilogy into a series.

Zac Efron's jaw surgery was actually due to an injury from a household accident, not plastic surgery. On his trip to Australia during Covid-19, Efron's jaw grew due to compensating masseter muscles. Efron also had another accident in 2024 when he dove into a shallow pool, but he was medically cleared in a few hours.

People may have noticed that something happened to Zac Efron that has altered the way his face looks, and many have speculated about what happened. Zac Efron has come a long way since his starring role in the High School Musical movie franchise, and it hasn't always been clear what direction he wants to take his career. He's starred in romantic comedies, summer action flicks, animated movies, and more. Though he's never found one single path, his visage has always been a constant in popular culture.

Ever since he appeared in High School Musical, Efron's...

Sports biopics are a difficult beast to get right, especially when it comes to combat sports. But WWE veteran and bona-fide A-list actor John Cena says two movies in particular absolutely nail their depictions of professional wrestling. Making any kind of sports biopic is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, studios have a pre-sold audience from fans of the given sport/athlete. However, the depiction of said sport needs to be spot on, otherwise those fans will quickly turn on the movie, labeling it as unrealistic.

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, guest hosted by Jeff Goldblum, John Cena was asked for his thoughts on the recent wrestling biopic The Iron Claw. Starring Zac Efron and directed by Sean Durkin, the A24 biopic tells the story of the famous wrestling family, the Von Erichs. Cena had nothing but praise for Durkin's movie and its depiction of the Von Erich clan.

Zac Efron is not your average high-school kid anymore. The Baywatch star has come a long way from his High School Musical days, managing to go beyond the stereotypes that many thought would bind him after starring in the 2006 flick.

And this has to be attributed in no small part to his desire to experience the world before settling. His hunger for adventure would finally provide him the chance to star in The Iron Claw which needed him to step into the shoes of a pro-wrestler, a movie for which he would have to go all out on himself.

The Iron Claw leaves out details like fake Von Erich brothers and omitted family members for narrative focus. Director Sean Durkin emphasizes emotional truth over factual accuracy in the Von Erich family story. The film portrays strained relationships and tragic events within the wrestling dynasty, highlighting personal struggles.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Iron Claw and contains descriptions of violence and suicide. The Iron Claw is based on the true story of the iconic wrestling family, who famously suffered great loss, and, unfortunately, many of the hidden details that the film omits only add to the tragedy. Throughout the film, what is expressed more than anything is the bond between the brothers and how much they love each other. Director and writer Sean Durkin has expressed that while the film is concerned with the emotional truth of the Von Erichs' story, the movie is still dramatized and shouldn't be considered fact.

Zac Efron's next project has been revealed and it's very exciting. Following the success of A24's The Iron Claw, Zac Efron teams up again with A24 in a dual role.

Per Deadline, Zac Efron has joined a new celebrity thriller from A24. The actor previously collaborated with A24 for the wrestling drama The Iron Claw, where he portrayed Kevin Von Erich.

"A Family Affair" is a 2024 romantic comedy film on Netflix that features an all-star cast. The movie stars Zac Efron as Chris Cole, a famous movie star who begins dating his assistant's older mother, Brooke, played by Nicole Kidman. Other cast members include Joey King, Liza Koshy, Kathy Bates, and Shirley MacLaine.

The renaissance of the modern rom-com continues with Netflix's A Family Affair, which features an impressive cast of notable actors and actresses such as Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman. The 2024 romantic comedy film, directed by Richard Lagravenese and written by Carrie Solomon, chronicles the story of a young woman (Joey King) whose mother (Kidman) enters a relationship with her boss (Efron), much to her dismay. Unfortunately, as teased in the trailer for A Family Affair, King's character learns of the scandalous (which is only so due to the couple's age gap) affair when she walks in on them about to have sex.

Actor Zac Efron shared his “high hopes” for younger brother Dylan Efron‘s new role in The Traitors, season 3. The Traitors is an American reality television show in which contestants compete in a game similar to Mafia. Contestants dubbed the “Faithfuls,” must eliminate the group’s “traitors” based on a voting system to win the grand prize of $250,000.

Zac encouraged his brother at the premiere of his new film, A Family Affair. “I think he’s going to win,” Zac told Et. “He’s really good at games, and I just have a good feeling about it.”

Zac added that Dylan has always had a lucky hand in gambling. “He is just the best at games,” Zac continued. “Growing up, he was a first roll [at Yahtzee] kind of dude.”

Other notable names joining Dylan on the Peacock show include Britney Spears‘ ex-husband Sam Asghari, Bob the Drag Queen, Tom Sandoval of Vanderpump Rules and more.

Kerry Von Erich's feud with Ric Flair led to a historic victory as the youngest Nwa World Heavyweight Champion in 1984. The Iron Claw film, starring Zac Efron, portrays the famous Von Erich wrestling family's real-life story, with some entertainment changes. The Von Erichs' rivalry with The Fabulous Freebirds added drama and excitement to the world of wrestling, captivating fans.

The Iron Claw featured the famous wrestling rivalry between Kerry Von Erich and Ric Flair. Led by Zac Efron, The Iron Claw cast brought the real-life story of the famous wrestling family, the Von Erichs to life. The captivating drama was a hit with both audiences and critics and is now one of Zac Efrons best movies. Even though it is based on a true story, The Iron Claw made some changes to the Von Erichs for entertainment purposes.

Kerry Von Erich was the fourth son of famous professional wrestler Fritz Von Erich.

The Iron Claw is the seventh most popular title on streaming for the week of May 16 22, according to a new popularity chart. The movie tells the true story of the Von Erich family wrestling team, with Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White starring. The Iron Claw was met with positive reviews from audiences and critics and was a modest box office success.

Now, Reelgood reveals that The Iron Claw...

Maura Tierney plays Doris Adkisson, the matriarch of the famous Von Erich wrestling family from Texas who suffered immense tragedy throughout their lives. Tierney's casting as Doris in the Von Erich family biopic, The Iron Claw, was foreshadowed by her previous role in Liar Liar, in which Jim Carrey's character does the Von Erichs' signature clawhold move.
