Just seen the Foxcatcher scene showing Kurt Angles trainer getting murdered...damn that was cold

[MrFirst2doit]

Kurt describing it the exact way the movie shows it...never knew Kurt Angles singlet was a tribute to his Olympic wrestling coach Dave Schultz



RIP Dave Schultz

I never knew this.

Yooo that's Steve Carrell playing John Dupont in that scene

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

There's a 30 for 30 on it too. Crazy story

What pissed me off and even miffed me is the fact that John had a bodyguard right next to him who should have been doing everything in his power to disable him the moment that he brandished his weapon. I don't care if you work for the guy. He colossally failed. Plus, if I had seen John's car coming, I'd drop everything like and leave as quickly as possible.

I remember hearing about this movie, but I never took the time to look into it more. Just heard it was about amateur wrestling, but never knew Angle had a connection. Now I have to see it.

Is it anywhere online?

 

[SirMo]

Reminds me I've got to watch this, thanks OP.

 

[Hoss]

It's a great (if disturbing) story and an excellent movie. Steve Carell is surprisingly great in that role.

And yeah, the doc is great too. Both are on Netflix if I'm not mistaken.

I saw it on Netflix a few months ago. Most 30 for 30's are on Netflix.

Yea that guy was a piece of shyt. Just taking dudes money to do nothing. No reason that shoulda happened. Sad situation

Netflix has its own doc as well as the 30 for 30 doc. I watched both n the movies.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

For the longest time i thought they were talking about this guy..

 

[Box Cutta]

Great movie. Absolutely BIZARRE story.



^ Coincidentally, Angle probably went through this exact same situation with Vince....

Also, this Netflix documentary is real good as well :

 

[MenacingMonk]

Watching the movie. It's all right. Found the Netflix doc so I might watch it after.
