Over the Top
Directed by Menahem Golan
Lincoln Hawk a hard-luck big-rig trucker takes us under the glaring Las Vegas lights for all the boisterous action of the World Armwrestling Championship. Relying on wits and willpower, Hawk tries to rebuild his life by capturing the first-place prize money, and the love of the son he abandoned years earlier into the keeping of his rich, ruthless father-in-law.

60 of 60 · most liked firstOver The Top (1987) is not a good movie but it has some insane star filter visuals, an army of greasy 80's body builders, and that one scene where a guy swallows a cigar to psyche out sylvester stallone and well those things individually are all great

Jack: That was Sylvester Stallone, who was reprising his role from 'Over the Top' as Lincoln Hawks for me, quoting the memorable lines from that film.

He turns his hat backwards and says "It's like a switch" that makes him a better arm wrestler. The joke was 100% just for me to lol at myself.

And they kind of did, I have never seen a movie about arm wrestling since... or before. In fact, this is the only one. But, it also as a decent soundtrack in an 80s action flick kind of way.
