When I ask people what's the best arm wrestling truck-driver movie most people automatically say Terms of Endearment
But what if I told you that Terms of Endearment isn't about either of those things?
But a little movie called Over the Top is. And those people always then say no Over the Top
Is about the relationship between Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, and I would say no
Again you son of a bitch you are thinking of Terms of Endearment
Over the Top has everything a movie needs: truckin', arm wrestlin'
father-son bondin'
Whatever is going on here
We meet Lincoln Hawk when he's picking up his son Michael from military school
Lincoln and Michael have never met before because Lincoln abandoned Michael right after he was born
Are we to believe that all these people: A
know who Lincoln Hawk is and B
Seriously give a s*** that he's there, or are they just upset because he looks like he came from a dress rehearsal for a production of Newsies
Is yelling across the lawn standard military protocol?
I mean it very well could be but it just seems weird to me
Any military people watching help me out on this one because I am legitimately curious now
The colonel wishes to see me sir. Your father wishes to cadet
I don't have a father sir. Your mother has legal custody over you Cutler and it is her request
That your father bring you home
May I see some identification on this man, sir? That's not called for cadet
I actually think it's a pretty reasonable request
Man driver's license photos were weird as s*** back in the 80s. That thing's not even folded. How big is his wallet
Are we going in this why can't we fly?
Because trucks don't have that capability.
Do you really think you can make up ten years in two to three days
With a skillfully shot montage, maybe
You Hawk?
I said, are you Hawk?
Attentively. I'm Smasher now I've been hearing on the road lately this Hawk's the man to beat
Can't believe everything you hear. I don't I don't believe anything I got a thousand says I could tear your arm off
Man there is a lot of posturing in the world of underground arm wrestling it seems like there's a lot of anger tied up in
The sport I mean they don't seem to derive any actual joy from this activity
So you got lucky again, huh Hawks?
Did he just call him Hawks?
Oh well, they probably don't know each other very well. It's not a big deal. You may be asking yourself
What is the most effective way to bring together a father and son who could not be more different?
The answer my friend is Kenny motherf Loggins
Bond mended bitch
That's the power of Loggins. They're finally starting to get along so Lincoln thinks
It's a good idea to have a son arm-wrestle some older kids
I got a kid here that I think could beat any one of you guys say 2 out of 3 times
He's a practical joker, sorry
He's just a shy kid matter of fact, I'm so sure I'm willing to put money on it
Kid if I couldn't beat you I'd kill myself
ready wimp
His skin feels like a girl. Maybe he is a girl
Arm wrestling for money really seems to bring out the worst in people or
Only the worst people arm wrestle for money. I'm not sure which
You know as a father
I love setting my children up to fail at things that they have zero interest in
Now you lost back there because you beat yourself you let yourself get beat
I know you can do it if you want it Mike
You gotta take it. You gotta take it
Go in there and try I know you can win. Is arm wrestling really something that you can win by just believing in yourself
I'm gonna say upper-body strength plays a way bigger role. I mean if I had to put a percentage on it
I'm gonna say it's 99% brute strength and like 1% confidence
This was a really big gamble for Lincoln. If my dad had done this to me when I was 10 I would have lost
And probably cried and those kids seem really mean
I imagine they would just hurl super accurate insults at me until I couldn't take it anymore and just left sobbing
Lincoln's pep talk works though and Michael is now brimming with confidence
Right up until he gets kidnapped
But nope actually it was Michael's grandfather
Who paid his goons?
To kidnap his grandson
To what end I'm not sure I mean he was gonna see him in a couple days anyways
The court is going to give him to his father unless Hawks can't support him
Okay, that's the second person to call him Hawks
Excuse me, could you tell me what room Mrs Christina Hawk is in please
Mr. Hawk, I'm sorry your wife died this afternoon in the operating room
If you would've never come to pick me up I would've seen her
I wouldn't be running around in that truck while she was dying
Again, this kid makes a very good point. I'd like to talk to Jason Cutler please. You're not wanted here
Would you tell him that Lincoln Hawks would like to talk to him
Lincoln's calling himself Hawks now? Okay. I have no idea
Apparently Over the Top needed a lore master on the set to keep the continuity of Lincoln's last name
You know when your only strength is armwrestling and you find yourself in a situation that can't be solved through armwrestling
You tend to just kind of panic and wing it and things just do not work out well
Mike
Hawks!
You know it was a fine plan it just kind of went off the rails with the whole driving the truck through the house part
everything else though top-notch
You Hawks? Let's go. Somebody here to see you Hawks
I'll make this brief Hawk. Oh good. He's Hawk again. If I went with you. Where would we go?
Where would we end up?
This kid is sharp. I will give him that. Again valid valid question
You know what you need when you sell your truck to pay for an arm wrestling
Competition and the son who turned you away finds all the letters you wrote him that his mother kept hidden from him instead of destroying them
if you said the same Kenny Loggins song from earlier
Good guess
Like really good guest here you go
Bravo
This armwrestling tournament seems to be populated solely with people that have most likely punched out a car window because their wife talked to a
male friend from work
Let's introduce John Grizzly
Oh, no Grizzly you don't have to do those things to make people like you
People will like you because you're kind and a good friend
This competition to win this new truck and my son's, love Oh
Mr.. Hawks mr.
Hawks Verne collect in las vegas gazette our readers got to know how do you get your hat to look like that what I do?
Is they I just try to take my hat and I turn around?
Whoa what a scoop and how does that make you feel? I feel like a
Hotdog
Verne you made the front page this time
Lincoln defies the odds and makes it to the final round against. Oh my god. Just a freaking behemoth
Holy lord look at the beast what the hell was the weigh-in for at the start of this thing
There was no way they would be in the same bracket once again
I don't think the power of positive thinking is going to help against a walking tank
good
God
I mean in this case it does. You know otherwise it'd be kind of a movie
Why don't we just start our own trucking company
Ya know, we could call it Son and Hawk
You know that's the second person that said that Lincoln should start his own company
didn't Lincoln already owned his own company and
the last time he owned a company did he sell 100% of the company's assets to enter an arm wrestling competition
I don't think he has good business sense
He's gonna piss away that money in no time flat, and then he's gonna have to win his sons love again
So everything is set right and Lincoln and Michael ride off into the sunset together
What would be a good send-off for these two?
You already know the answer to that you sons of bitches crank it up
You
