I love this film. you cant go wrong with golan/globus, truck driving, stallone, arm wrestling and kenny loggins. Some will say its a bit sentimental, that the kid is just plain annoying etc. but the fact that sly is driving round with an arm wrestling gym in the cab of his truck made me laugh it also has a brilliant cast of characters in the final arm wrestling championship, including a guy who to psyche his opponents out pre game eats cigars and downs oil.

One of the best guilty pleasures in the world. It's got Sly driving trucks and arm wrestling, a son who looks like David Hasslehoff, and the guy with the Blaster tanktop. Hilariously awesome.

So its been a while since my eyes have been blessed with images of Sly working out in his total home gym while driving a truck, or my ears listing to the encouraging words he delivers so well... Think its time for a trip down memory lane.
Definitely a fun flick to watch!!! ;D

'You Hawk?', 'I heard that your a man to beat!' I also love this movie, defiantly a feel good movie. The bit when Sly gets mike to arm wrestle that kid is hilarious. Punk Kid: 'I'm gonna break your arm wimp, what do you think of that?' Mike: 'I think your breath stinks'

This retrospective on "Over the Top" available at I-Mockery is a good read and great for a laugh: www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/over-the-top/Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who wrote it, Rog, is/has been a member of this forum.

It makes me laugh when he turns his cap he becomes a machine, if Matrix was here he'd laugh too

great movie, there's so much B.S going on. Like how the first prize in the arm wrestling competition happened to be a truck, which is exactly what our hero Hawks needed. He also only beat Bull Hurley once in a double elimination tournament, he was suppose to beat him twice Hurley was robbed!!!
