You ever find yourself in New Orleans on a Saturday afternoon, stop in at Pal’s for a few drinks. Michelle will probably have that shite on.

Definitely doesn't need its own thread, but did anybody used to watch Game of Arms on AMC? Arm wrestling competition show. One dude on the show, Travis Bagent, has a son who's the backup qb for the Bears.
No but the Pulling John documentary on John Brzenk is pretty solid.

I like how arm wrestling is such a big deal. Lincoln is like a celebrity across the country, known by all truckers, due to his high profile arm wrestling.

It's also great that they keep billing Lincoln Hawk as being from "the trucker category" or whatever. Like truckers get their own category in huge arm wrestling tournaments.
There actually was a world wide over the top tournament held over a years time that culminated in the finals match in Las Vegas. It was done to tie into the movie.
And yes, it was split into divisions, and one of them was the truckers/teamsters division, and was won by the godfather of arm wrestling, John breznk. A lot of footage was used from the actual tournament, including when the one guy gets his arm broken.
Read this article. Really long but great read and explains a lot.

P.S. as you will read in the article, the actor who played bull hurley was an actual good arm wrestler who made the actual over the top tournament.
Finally, Screw it, let’s get pumped

I watched this movie over and over as a kid, loved it. Introduced my boys to it over the years and have watched it with them many many times also.

I am really easy to please when it comes to movies. I have always liked this movie as a kid, young adult and now old adult. I don't get too much into the details like you did, but it's a fun movie, with a great soundtrack. Kenny Loggins really made bank in the 80's when you think about it. Probably made tons as a rock/pop musician, and then he did several soundtracks for movies. He is talented as hell. And he's great live.

Thanks for this thread. I loved this movie as a kid. I want to get my wife and kids to sit down and watch it. Doubt my kids will.
My wife and I watched the Roadhouse remake the other night. She mentioned that she had never seed the original and she is a huge Swayze fan (mainly Dirty Dancing, Ghost).
I wanna see if she'll sit down and watch a few of these. Over the Top, Road House (no kids), Tango and Cash.
ETA: According to justwatch.com, Over the Top is on Apple TV+ and Hoopla with a sub, Prime/Youtube/Vudu and a few others for rent. Doesn't seem to be free anywhere.
ETA2: Tubi, Pluto, and the Roku Channel have it for free.

Anyway, great movie and is free on a couple of the streaming services.
Bought it on DVD anyway recently to watch with my teen boys. It’s so great.
What stands out to me about Stallone’s character is how patient he was with the little shite aspects of his son’s character.
It showed a level of compassion and humility that I hope to have with people.

this thread made me revisit this classic 
I haven't seen it in decades. I remember first watching it on the couch with my dad in 1990 as a kid.
I wanted to push the son in ongoing traffic the first 15 minutes of the movie. Props for Stallone having so much patience with the kid. The look on Stallone face in the diner at the beginning is the face I make preparing for an all day Tiger Stadium tailgate. The amount of people sweating in that diner. They def had no AC going
The soundtrack is fantastic in this movie.
Since when do Truck drivers sleep in the drivers seat
who needs a gym when you have the bars in front of an 18 wheeler. If the song Meet me halfway doesn't get you fired up I don't know what will. Anyone notice he's driving around in a 18 wheeler with Brut men cologne on the side of the truck. Letting the son drive is as bad as Newsom letting those illegals drive in California. Mike caught on fast though
a classic line from the teen at the diner arcade. If I can't beat you in arm wrestling I'd kill myself
Mike
This movie makes me want to take a road trip and set a one arm pull up in my truck
I could see him running over the gate to get in the house but to run into the flower bed and fountain and then fricking house. HAHA WTF stallone
Plus how did Stallone get away with wrecking his truck and that other truck in that guys property to get his son back.
Did we ever find out why Stallone left his wife and son in the first place?
Seeing the old Vegas Strip brings me back to 1991 when we went as kids. How about that Toyota mike drove to vegas. I would have loved that for my high school days
the 80’s and 90’s were such a peaceful great era.

Considering it was the same era where they were. apparently, famous bouncers like James Dalton that bar owners would recruit from NYC to rural Missouri, there being well known trucker arm wrestlers is almost believable. lol.
God the 80’s were awesome

Canon Films made the Picture.
They had a guy break down what was wrong with and why Over the Top went the way it did.
The company ran out of money, then eventually went bankrupt after.
The Timing ran out and so it got a rough ending. Dont know the original ending.
The Documentary is called Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films
Its a great watch. It gives you a window during the 80s Film Production madness, with so many different studios taking different directions and the competition between them all.
