Another lousy written movie. People getting killed, unrealistic car scenes, great stunt drivers. Primary actor “The Scorpion” did fine playing a boring role humanly impossible. The ending was never actually finished. Why writers and Hollywood keeps producing movies like this one has to question why? It’s like watching the news and seeing violence-enough of this evil bad stuff in most every movie one watches. There isn’t a genuinely happy feeling after watching it nor a good feeling of peace.

My background comes from the grassroots to top level professional racing world from decades in Motorsports. Pretty much everything on 4 wheels except drag racing. In saying that I’ve known many race drivers over the decades and seen what their bodies go through from the G forces to wrecks however they’re monitored in recent decades for drugs, etc. Thought The Iron Fist was a very well done film. I’ve never followed professional wrestling however this film provides quite an introspective view as far as movies are typically limited to a couple hours. It does alude to being on “the juice” a couple of times or straight out before the motorcycle accident when it says it takes awhile to come down which also could include cocaine. Watching the film and seeing these guys getting slammed down is incredibly hard on a human body. Everything from multiple concussions, pulled or sprained-torn muscles to broken bones. Possibly similar to professional boxing in regards to concussions and other injuries temporary or permanent to a human body. A couple other things that stood out in this film were the family-brotherly love along with the mothers and wives. Family support which I can fully appreciate coming from the racing industry. Surprised this film did not gross more at the box office upon release as well as Ford vs Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari. Met Steve McQueen and Bullit did well but his LeMans film didn’t while Grand Prix did well. Also met and knew James “Jim” Garner. The Iron Claw is a great film that appeals to both women, men and their kids that are into sports.

As the moral fiber of our world is constantly being tested and all we seem to hear about or see are sad and evil things this TV series is about good. Whether or not one believes that Jesus came into this world thousands of years ago to save us or believes in God this TV show is refreshing and a constant reminder the world is full of good people who follow the principles of Jesus Christ and the Bible. It’s an amazing reminder and mentor of why we’re here in this world for a short time and what good we can do for people today and what we can do for future generations. God Bless everyone who watches it. Very humbling teachings and mentoring. While it doesn’t replace the Bible or church it certainly brings to life through artistic expression through a TV series what has been needed for thousands of years. Brilliantly done. While they’re goal is a billion viewers think, believe and have faith it will far exceed that for decades to come.

One of the great all time great racing historical movies a must see. Definitely Oscar material
