Over the Top
Rocky and Rambo star Sylvester Stallone gives fans another reason to stand up and cheer. He stars as hard-luck big-rig trucker Lincoln Hawk and takes us under the glaring Las Vegas lights for all the boisterous action of the World Arm wrestling Championship in Over the Top (co-scripted by Stallone). Relying on wits and willpower, Hawk tries to rebuild his life by capturing the first-place prize money - and the love of the son (David Mendenhall) he abandoned years earlier into the keeping of his rich, ruthless father-in-law (Robert Loggia). He matches muscles with some of the game's gargantuan greats - and grips you tightly with a rousing finale in crowd-pleasing Rocky style. Grab hold for rip-roaring fun!

Underappreciated Movie - scotty2hotty
This movie is one of my favourite guilty pleasures. I have watched it numerous times. I just love the music used during the arm wrestling matches and the dramatic slow motion during the final match. My favourite part is when one competitor drinks the bottle of motor oil. Classic. I also enjoyed the cameo by legendary pro wrestler Terry Funk as a bodyguard. Just a great 80's movie.Nice! - NoOneOutCrazysMe

It was great then and it still is, but the best thing is that you ubderstand the ubderline story alot better when you are older :D!meet me halfway.. - phumanchu
Stallone is definitely one of the last action heroes. The last time I saw this movie was possibly 15 years ago. Now watching it again, with a more subjective attitude, it's a lot better than I had remembered it! A lot of emotion with all characters which were balanced through the movie. Accompanied with an
'old-school' 80s soundtrack that rocks. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
