Full review
Over The Top. What a poor movie. Sylvester Stallone 'stars' in this as a trucker who is good at arm wrestling. So he travels the country to enter the world arm wrestling championships. And his kid is dragged along with him, for some stereotypical father and son sort out their problems and learn to bond with each other type pap. Arm wrestling is not the most exciting 'sport' around, all you really get to see is a bit of bulcging biceps and some grunting. Then Stallone flips his cap round and wins. This film would be better if the arm wrestling scenes were like the one in the fly, in which Jeff Goldblum snaps that guys arm ,and you get to see the bone. Unfortunately it isn't, so it sucks.
