    • Trivia
      The film had its world premiere in Dallas, Texas the same evening that the SAG-AFTRA strike ended. Many of the actors found out the news through journalists on the red carpet.
    • Goofs
      The film implies that Kerry lost his foot in a motorcycle accident just after his NWA world title win against Ric Flair in May 1984. The motorcycle accident actually happened in June 1986. Moreover, Kerry did not have his foot amputated until 1987 after Fritz forced Kerry back into the ring prematurely, causing him to re-injure the foot he hurt in the accident.

    Solid 10

    I cannot begin to describe how accurate Zac's portrayal of Kevin is. I knew the brothers in the early 80's. This is a heart wrenching account that delivers every high and low of their lives.

    The performances are nuanced, with an unexpected depth. This is not a feel good movie. The ending is actually the beginning and that is beautiful. Lily James is stupendous and mesmerizing as Pam, and I simply cannot express my awe of Zac's performance. He deserves an Oscar.

    Just know that this story is as close to a documentary as it can possibly be. It was beautiful seeing the actual footage from various match ups. Thank you for making this.
