The filmmakers left out Chris Von Erich, because it would have added a lot more to the run time covering the death of another brother. His story was combined with Mike and Kerry's stories. Chris also had brittle bone disease and asthma, which caused him to struggle with keeping up with his brothers.
Kerry developed a serious addiction to painkillers and he was eventually arrested and put on probation. His suicide came a day after he violated his probation.
Tom Sawyer was Kevin’s theme song from ‘81 - ‘83.
MJF, Chavo Gurrerro and Ryan Nemeth are pro wrestlers who feature in the film. Chavo also trained the cast, and the wrestling scenes were filmed in one take as live wrestling matches.
Fritz Von Erich was essentially an evil German Nazi gimmick with his kayfabe brother Waldo Von Erich.
The Freebirds vs The Von Erichs was an incredibly famous wrestling feud in WCCW. A lot of attention was drawn to WCCW but by the time WWF had begun to eat up all the talent, it was eventually bought by Jerry Jarrett and merged with The Continental Wrestling Association.
Doris and Fritz divorced in 1992, which the film alludes to.
