YMMV / The Iron Claw

  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: It's pretty easy to see Kerry's foot flexing and twisting even after it's been supposedly changed to a prosthetic, making it look like a blooper or Special Effects Failure of the film. In real life, however, Kerry did wrestle with his prosthetic foot and made it look so natural that it's difficult to notice the difference even if you're looking for it.
  • Questionable Casting: It's a good performance in a vacuum, but to say that Aaron Dean Eisenberg needed to do a lot more work to get Ric Flair more accurately is a huge understatement. Not only was he doing Flair’s promo after Mike's death in a really unconvincing way (and nowhere near hammy enough), but he tried to speak with a Southern drawl at one point — while Flair is largely associated with North Carolina, he has something closer to a Minnesota accent, having spent much of his childhood and early teen years there. What’s even more jarring is that he couldn’t even "Wooo" properly.
