The Iron Claw, the long awaited biopic on the legendary Von Erich family, is set to hit US cinemas on December 22, with the surviving Von Erichs doing the media rounds to drum up publicity for the tragic tale.

Marshall Von Erich was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio, and revealed that the inclusion of one scene in the movie shocked his father Kevin Von Erich:

"It was nerve-wracking going into the premiere as a family," Von Erich said. "We all went over there - my sisters had a harder time, and my mom - there were just so many question marks. And my dad was like, 'If anything, they'll Google the real story, and I'll talk to them.' But we ended up watching it, and it's based on a true story, so there's a few chronological inconsistencies.

“But there was one part in the movie that my dad told us in confidence," Marshall added. "I don't think he ever told anybody in an interview or anything — of a dream he had after my uncle Kerry passed that was so heavy that we almost had to leave the movie theatre. My dad was like - he couldn't believe that it was in there."
