Over the Top (1987)

The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something, you gotta take it.

Over The Top is a 1987 sports drama that centers around a long haul truck driver who attempts to repair his relationship with his estranged son while also trying to win an arm wrestling tournament.

This is another masterpiece from the infamous Cannon Films Group that must have sounded better on paper before it was made. Although I give them credit for coming up with an original concept that hadn't been done before, the arm wrestling aspect of this film is just kind of laughable. The premise of the movie is actually decent, and was just poorly executed by Cannons leader Menahem Golan. Nevertheless, I still love this corny little film which I consider a classic from my childhood.

If you haven't seen this before and like cheesy 80's flicks, I'd recommend giving it a watch because it's unintentionally funny if nothing else.
