On a serious note, this movie reminds of me of my Dad. My Dad dressed a lot like Stallone does in this movie. My Dad was a hard worker who was also a single parent to 6 kids. He would do anything for us. RIP Dad. You deserve it after all the sacrifices you've made for us. 😞
Whenever I run into someone and they say they are going to Vegas.... I say "You Ain't Got A Prayer In Vegas!" .... in the past 20 years only two people have recognized that quote from Over The Top.
Same here! I watched it over and over again until I was Over The Top! But seriously, being the same age as "Michael" in 1987 it was like being right there in the truck with Sylvester Stallone! I still watch this wonderful movie from time to time as I have it on Blu-Ray. I miss the 80´s soo muuuch!
The thing about Stallone and his words of advice is that it comes from a genuine place. He really was down on his luck in life and living poor and had offers to sell-out (His original script for Rocky was offered close to a Million dollars without him in it but he turned it down) But he chose to go after what he wanted instead and risked it all.
I never considered Bull Hurley the villain in this movie. He was the champion. He wanted to face Lincoln Hawks and beat him. And when Bull lost the match. Bull was gracious in defeat. Bull congratulated Hawks in his victory.
I mean he literally tries to goad Hawk into a match in front of his kid, and calls his a loser and a coward when he turns him down. It's not exactly mustache-twirling level of villainy, but he's definitely meant to be seen as one of the films antagonists.
"Mr. Cutler is talking to you"... "I'm through talking" ... just loved this movie & I can't really explain it unless you're a Stallone fan... then you'd get it!
This Film Was Introduced To Me By My Older Bro Who's 39 Now And I'm 32 As A Kid I Loved This Movie But As An Adult It Gives Off A Totally Different Feel And Meaning I Get Emotional Watching This Movie Its Deeper Than Arm Wrestling His Fight To Be In His Sons Life Is What Lead Him To Win
this movie came out when 80's WWF was at it's peak, same target audience, pre-UFC days, gotta love the intros for John Grizzly, Mad Dog, Boscoe, the Canadian dude lol just a classic flick
I likes this movie a lot, I was curious into review sites, such as rotten tomatoes, which they basically always rate, good movies trash, sure enough, Over the top got a 32%, WTF? Hey, at least rotten tomatoes gave The Terminator (1984) a 100% rating, at least they gave that movie the correct rating.
tvmoviefan . Rick was a great guy to be around always funny. Very happy and proud when he got the roll in Presidio and Batman. He was a great coach in armwrestling, I learned a lot
Boy, when Sylvester Stallone wants to leave, you let him leave or else you get punched and shoved through French doors without hardly any effort on his part. 😂
All I care about Dad is being with you, I LOVE YOU!! Gets me every time. Loved this movie growing up and still love it to this day. My lil bro and I lost our Dad young found a father figure in Sly. Thank you sir. ❤
+Alexander Hamilton Just saw this movie today for the first time in my life on Netflix. After every movie I watch, I go on IMDB to see what the actors are doing now in their lives - I looked up Robert Loggia and it said he died 4 days ago. Life is trippy like that. May he rest in peace.
If this movie was made during this time, it'd be a failure. 80's were a special time, 90's too! Only in the 80's can a arm wrestling movie be this awesome!
Loved this film growing up in the fabulous 1980s, ...great story of, family and sentiment,...plus it as a great soundtrack to it,..the 1980s rocked,...and was a great decade...

"that's my game, my area, And he's got no business being there", i competed in powerlifting meets for 4years and this was my mentality. Any place that i competed belonged to me ‼️💯💪🏋️
When I was a kid I was totally routing for Bull Hurley. I thought he was so awesome! Plus, my older brother loved Sylvester Stallone, so naturally I would route against him or whoever else my brother routed for. Especially the Patriots. I would ALWAYS route for whatever team the Patriots were playing against, and he would get SOOOOOO MAD at me. Hahahaha, we still talk about it to this day.
Stallone always plays "the humble guy" who everyone wants to fuck with...but he just wants to A) Get something to eat: Rambo B) Just hangout with his girlfriend and NOT have a rematch: Rocky C) Wait till Vegas: Hawk and he always has that same look on his face like "bruh....can i just live" lmao
*Does anyone else agree that Bull Hurley was a Stone Cold Bad Ass?* *_"YOU AIN'T SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!"_* *"I drive truck, break arms, and arm wrestle. That's what I love to do, that's what I do best."* *"Being Number 1 is everything, there is no second place.... **_Second. Sucks."_* *"He doesn't even belong on **_MY_** arm wrestling table. That's **_MY_** area, that's **_MY_** game. He's got **_no shittin' business there"_* *"And all I wanna do is **_hurt him_, _cripple him_, get him off the table so he _never dares_** to compete against me again."*
0:52 I don't see many of those cabover semi trucks like that one there in the background in service here in the USA anymore like I use to back in those days.
"Mr. Cutler is talking to you." Shoves Sly back. Sly punches him in the stomach and shoves the dude's ass through the glass door and steps over him as he enters the building.
Stallone, hot as hell in this movie. Loved this flick as a kid and still do. His kid always bugged, whining and crying throughout. Randy Santel took Hawks hat turning move
+Taylor Ahern They probably squeezed out more cheese making this EPIC and euphorically brilliant gem than 10,000 cows being milked in a typical week all throughout the British Isles.
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous movies EVER made! Its so bad that I can't stop myself from watching it. It does have some great lines in it. You know what? Hell with it! THIS MOVIE ROCKS! YEAH! Arm wresting! Trucking! Bad acting! AWESOME!!!

Beautiful post 😔
Respect to you father
Your father was a badass!
"The world meets nobody half way..."
Was always one of my favorite lines from this movie.
Agree
Not as good as “I think your breath stinks”
Together is all I can guarantee
"I need this truck."--such a moving quote..................not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes!
That quote is why I searched out the video!
Im a truck driver...I also cried
I've heard a number of people say the early '60s Autocar he sells was a better truck than the brand new one.
Fuck yeah

Clearly you run in the wrong circle
Man, if you said that to me, I would FOR SURE know what you meant!!!
Lmao..here...have a like from the future. 👍
This post rocks! Say that around me and I will tell ya that it's from Over the TOP
One of the greatest movies of my childhood right here!
you damn right, yellow belly!
Me too
Yes!
Same here😭😍 I've watched it a hundred times. We had it on Betamax. I'm 44 now and after watching this I realized I still know all the lines and scenes
Same here! I watched it over and over again until I was Over The Top! But seriously, being the same age as "Michael" in 1987 it was like being right there in the truck with Sylvester Stallone! I still watch this wonderful movie from time to time as I have it on Blu-Ray. I miss the 80´s soo muuuch!
"The world meets nobody halfway..." -Lincoln Hawk
You gotta take it.
"I got a family, when this is over i'm comin to get him" this line really digs deep.
Yup, still gives me chills, love this movie, true classic Stallone, 1 yr later he did Cobra, 80s ruled,
Am through talking
The interviews with the competitors is like an awesome 80s version of The Office.
The thing about Stallone and his words of advice is that it comes from a genuine place. He really was down on his luck in life and living poor and had offers to sell-out (His original script for Rocky was offered close to a Million dollars without him in it but he turned it down) But he chose to go after what he wanted instead and risked it all.
gutz1981 truth
I never considered Bull Hurley the villain in this movie. He was the champion. He wanted to face Lincoln Hawks and beat him. And when Bull lost the match. Bull was gracious in defeat. Bull congratulated Hawks in his victory.
Same with Smasher.
I mean he literally tries to goad Hawk into a match in front of his kid, and calls his a loser and a coward when he turns him down. It's not exactly mustache-twirling level of villainy, but he's definitely meant to be seen as one of the films antagonists.
The innocent 80s 😂
Back when the world made sense
This is such a great father and son film. I remember watching this with my dad and I'll watch this again with my sons as well.
I miss the days of arm wrestling for the custody of your child...
+Illustratedkid Fucking brilliant=)
Lol
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 ...I sure would have beaten my ex wife for the kids
I always wanted to win back the love of Mike Hawk. But Mike Hawk is selfish, he only thinks about himself.
A highly underrated film.
"Mr. Cutler is talking to you"... "I'm through talking" ... just loved this movie & I can't really explain it unless you're a Stallone fan... then you'd get it!
You got that right brother.
I love Sylvester Stallone so much
everyone: you should watch tiger king, narcos, ozarks. me: watches over the top again
My whole body is an engine, this 💪 is a fire plug , and I'm gonna light him up
ahhhhhh John Grizzly, three time champion and professional motor oil drinker
He cut quite the promo, too 🤣🤣🤣
And cigar consumer...literally.
I was born in 84 and we arm wrestled all the time bc of this underrated classic badass movie
Did you be sure to turn your hat backwards?
Did you squeeze the thumb?
Same!

That slam through the window was so epic it even had it's own theme tune.
"my whole body's an engine... this is a fire plug... and I'm going to light him up.. aahh aahhh ahhh aahhhh ahhhh."
+neckisstiff BOSCO for the win!
he’s a former NFL player
Love his confidence!
That was the real badass quote.
You guys know that was homage to the great Muhammad Ali. He mimicked him completely.
“you’re also a spoiled rich brat” my favorite line 😂
The world meets nobody halfway.
F wow depressed much

Underrated movie with a good father son story. Kid was a little too whiny, but is what it is. RIP Rick Zumwalt (Bull Hurley).
tvmoviefan . Rick was a great guy to be around always funny. Very happy and proud when he got the roll in Presidio and Batman. He was a great coach in armwrestling, I learned a lot
tvmoviefan Died relatively young 51 of a heart attack
tvmoviefan I would have smacked the shit out of that kid.
The big dude was an armwrestler ??
How could you leave out the best line in the movie? When he turns the hat around and becomes the machine.
He becomes Bert Kreischer?
Boy, when Sylvester Stallone wants to leave, you let him leave or else you get punched and shoved through French doors without hardly any effort on his part. 😂
This movie is the greatest thing ever created by man.
JohnLoCicero lol why?
Yes...I have to agree
I agree.

"Winning is everything..Second sucks."
That is the raw blundt truth that the world sees.Nobody puts silver medalists' on a Wheaties box..

Best father, son, trucker, arm wrestling movie of all time
The world meets nobody half way, my ol time favorite movie
All I care about Dad is being with you, I LOVE YOU!! Gets me every time. Loved this movie growing up and still love it to this day. My lil bro and I lost our Dad young found a father figure in Sly. Thank you sir. ❤
lmao I like how he calls his own son a spoiled rich shit to motivate him while inspirational music plays in the background
Bogs Binny tough love. 😂
now i understand what Lincoln say to his son.. thanks buddy
"I drive truck, break arms and arm wrestle. It's what I love to do and what I do best."
Good philosophy for life.
Victor Lokken. I learned a lot from Rick when he was my coach. He's a great guy and really a character.
He clearly wasn't the best. Lincoln Hawk was better.
@@js09js09 The x2 Canadian champ Carl Adams was robbed 😩
Farewell, Robert Loggia. You were an awesome good guy, and an awesome bad guy.
+Alexander Hamilton Just saw this movie today for the first time in my life on Netflix. After every movie I watch, I go on IMDB to see what the actors are doing now in their lives - I looked up Robert Loggia and it said he died 4 days ago. Life is trippy like that. May he rest in peace.
Scarface and Sopranos owe him a lot. Wish he was on Sopranos a lot longer.
Feech La Manna and Frank Lopez too
If this movie was made during this time, it'd be a failure. 80's were a special time, 90's too! Only in the 80's can a arm wrestling movie be this awesome!
My man Harry Bosco. Dude was funny. "Bad news Hawk!" LOL
Maddog was reading off a cue card. Love it
Loved this film growing up in the fabulous 1980s, ...great story of, family and sentiment,...plus it as a great soundtrack to it,..the 1980s rocked,...and was a great decade...
Damn I need this movie back in my life!
I bought the Blu Ray on Amazon for $5! I love this movie.
The Best Movie ever made!!💪😍👏
I like it how he tries to teach his kid about life by encouraging his kid to arm-wrestle other kids.
The man loves his truck.
I feel the nostalgia hard from these movies of the 80s. A wonderful time to be a kid in those days.
The humidity in this movie must’ve been over the top.
You got no shittin business in here!!!
Today’s Kids’ Heroes: MCU, Edward from Twilight, John Cena, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.
My Heroes: Karl Adams, Bull Hurley, Mad Dog Madison, John Grizzly, Harry Boscoe and Lincoln Hawks.
I love this movie and the soundtrack I love the 80s
Greatest decade hands down
YOU GOT NO POWER HAWK
saruman thaught the saame when he said it to gandalf
The world meets nobody halfway is a quote we should all live by
Great movie 80's!!! I love this movie :)
yea, that kid was as close to a little girl as U COULD GET
I drive truck break arms and arm wrestle, that's what I love and what I do beat
best quote ever
80s movies miss them all. The good and the cheesy ones too.
"that's my game, my area, And he's got no business being there", i competed in powerlifting meets for 4years and this was my mentality. Any place that i competed belonged to me ‼️💯💪🏋️
Greatest arm wrestling movie ever made hands down!
Only arm wrestling movie ever made, hands up.
Terry Funk getting thrown through a door by stallone made me laugh.
Ted Dibiase
@@diocletian607 that was Terry Funk not Ted Dibiase
This hat is a switch.. And when I flick it, I feel like a machine
Stallone is such an Amazing dad in this movie.
Even after he took an ass chewing from feech lamana from the sopranos.
I feel like Randy Savage was tailor made to be a character in this movie.
Oooohhh Yeeeeaaah, I like it - the cream will rise to the top, the cream of the crop - nobody does it better!!!
It's like a switch.
I love the way these guys describe arm wrestling. The words they use make it sound like c4 and other explosives will be used.
In todays world stallone would be followed by child protective services for giving his son tough love.
.....................and arrested and imprisoned.
Excelente filme perfeito saudades dessa época 1987 eu tinha 17 anos de idade saudades dessa época que não volta mais
3:00 John Grizzly reminds me of Robert Oberst. (Also, the kid & Demi Moore?)
I drive truck, break arm and arm wrestle! Best quote.
you aint got a prayer in vegas!
He beats bull though
When I was a kid I was totally routing for Bull Hurley. I thought he was so awesome! Plus, my older brother loved Sylvester Stallone, so naturally I would route against him or whoever else my brother routed for. Especially the Patriots.
I would ALWAYS route for whatever team the Patriots were playing against, and he would get SOOOOOO MAD at me. Hahahaha, we still talk about it to this day.
This is definitely one of the top 10 movies about arm wrestling truck drivers.
love this film and the quotes.
this movie beings me back to my childhood. it was always on tv
best movie ever!!
80's Stallone is the best !! lo stallone italiano :)
bull was a decent actor for an arm wrestler.
do you know he was a arm westrel world champ in real life?
yes. that's why i said what i said.😉
@@antoniogonzalez115 wait, for real?
@@ChoperJoJo 100%you can look in Google
This brings back so much good memories, and that sound track
Stallone always plays "the humble guy" who everyone wants to fuck with...but he just wants to
A) Get something to eat: Rambo
B) Just hangout with his girlfriend and NOT have a rematch: Rocky
C) Wait till Vegas: Hawk
and he always has that same look on his face like "bruh....can i just live" lmao

Whoaahh.. you are right, i missed that one, i love this quote too, thank's for the heads up ^^
the world meets nobody halfway... if you want it, you gotta take it
Lol greatest quote ever I still use that till this day!!
The "Schindler's List" of arm wrestling movies.
"its like a switch"
No truer words were ever spoken in the Pictures
0:52 I don't see many of those cabover semi trucks like that one there in the background in service here in the USA anymore like I use to back in those days.
I remember watching this with my Dad at a young age on VHS, my Mom didn’t approve that it never stopped my Dad lol
I used to turn my hat around like that
Errbody did back in the day in school when we arm wrestled cuz of that flick.
When you turn your hat around, it is like a switch goes on. You feel like a truck. Like a machine.
"Mr. Cutler is talking to you." Shoves Sly back.
Sly punches him in the stomach and shoves the dude's ass through the glass door and steps over him as he enters the building.
