Over the Top is better than Roy Fripple!

Steve Samuals | Creve Cour, USA | 01/08/2000

"Over the top is such an emotionally moving film. The music that runs throughout the entire movie just adds to the effect. If someone is looking for the most inspirational speech in the history of mankind, then look no further than the scene right before the final arm wrestling match between Hawk and Bull Harley. Stallone emotionally explains how he becomes like a machine, or more specifically a truck, by simply turning his hat backwards. I watch this scene every morning to keep me going. This movie did not have enough white guys with perms in it, though."

One of my all time favorite Movies when I was a little kid

"I love this movie so much that I have worn out my VHS copy of it. I really want this movie on DVD so bad and I can't understand why it hasn't been made on DVD yet. Granted the movie is not a huge money maker or even hugely popular. But It is a childhood memory of watching this with my cousins. I say we petition this movie be made to DVD!!! What do you all say??????"

"I have always thought that this was Stallones best movie. All of his other movies he plays a tough macho guy. In this movie he displays emotions that cause this to be one of his best movies. My father never liked him, but when he saw this movie he said that Stallone really impressed him. Stallone plays a down to earth trucker who had married into wealth. Him and his wife got a divorce and his son was sent to a military school. His wife is in the hospital about to die and she wants Stallone and her son to get to know each other. Of course the boy starts off being a smart a** brat who hates his father due to the brain washing of his grandfather. But by the end of the movie the son (as well as other fans of Stallone) come to love him. Stallone shows the caring side that he don't display in other movies. Awesome movie and I am glad that it is finally coming out on DVD. Well worth the watch and adding to your collections"

CLASSIC STALLONE!

"This is a typical Stallone film with a typical Stallone script, which is exactly why I enjoyed it so much. All the elements are present in Lincoln Hawk, Stallones character in OTT, that made films like Rocky and First Blood so special. This is basically a road movie about a father whose trying to win the love of his son, Lincoln's ambition to win the world arm wrestling championship is cleverly used as a constant parody to the developing relationship between father and son. So as long as you aren't looking for anything too deep and meaningful and appreciate Stallones other films then you should really enjoy this."

Step aside, Citizen Kane. There is a new NO.1!!!!

"Normally I'm not one for hyperbole, but I have few qualms stating that Over the Top is among the greatest arm-wrestling movies of the last half-century. Jam-packed with emotion, adrenaline, and the kind of edge-of-your-seat action that only two stationary, grunting men can provide, it's easy to see why many call it the "'Gone With the Wind' of wrist-endurance sport movies".

Like every screenplay written by Sylvester Stallone, Over the Top boasts a challenging and all-too plausible script-- in this case a cautionary tale about a sensitive trucker seeking to find redemption, the love of the son he abandoned, and most importantly, a new truck, through arm-wrestling. And while most actors and/or filmmakers would scoff at the idea of tackling such hot-button issues as overcoming the scars of child abandonment through competitive bicep-grappling, the fearless cast and crew of Over the Top are unafraid to take this plunge. In fact, they treat their subject with a reverence and photo-accurate attention to detail unmatched in modern cinema, so much so that it's easy at times to forget that you're watching a work of fiction and not a documentary.

The emotional roller-coaster that is this film also provides yet another showcase for Mr. Stallone's spine-tingling acting chops, as his emotional, monosyllabic father-son scenes remain some of the most courageous ever captured on film.

Attention Hollywood: the ticket-buying public has spoken. And we expect Over the Top's return engagement to a theater near us sooner rather than later.
