Over the Top (film): Difference between revisions

 

Panned by critics and barely turning a profit at the box office, the film has a great camp quality to it and does have its fans. The film really tries to make Stallone a super underdog a la ''[[Rocky (Film)|Rocky]]'' to recapture some of that film series' magic.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]:

** Lincoln Hawk

* [[I Gave My Word]]: Lincoln agrees to his sick wife's wishes to meet his estranged son, even though the son hasn't seen or heard from Lincoln in a long time or the fact that the Grandfather hates Lincoln, Lincoln is going to see this through.

* [[Large Ham]]: Bull Hurley, several of the opposing arm wrestlers in fact like Grizzly, but Bull is the biggest (no pun intended) example.

* [[Secret Weapon]]: "Over the Top!" Lincoln's method of gaining leverage in some of his arm wrestling matches by slipping his fingers over the opponents.

* [[Title Drop]]: It refers to the [[Secret Weapon]] listed above and is said throughout the movie.

* [[Underdogs Never Lose]]: Well, Lincoln is played by Sylvester Stallone, so.
