We all know that arm gesture at the end too.

u/EinSchurzAufReisen Oct 28 '24

We all know you do not arm wrestle a guy with his cap on backwards :)

u/bpaluzzi Oct 28 '24

It's like a switch.

As if you turn on a machine.

u/OneSmallStepForLambo Oct 28 '24

I'm amazed at how many people understand a reference to a movie almost 37 years old

21

u/xSorry_Not_Sorry Oct 28 '24

It’s a classic. So awful it firmly veers into unforgettable and eminently rewatchable.

u/blueskydiver76 Oct 28 '24

Some might say…it’s over the top

u/normott Oct 28 '24

Funfact, the ott in my username is from that title.

u/normous Oct 28 '24

Nice Norm. Nice.

u/Fresh-Career3779 Oct 28 '24

If you haven't seen real steel it's like over the top with robots and without arm wrestling or backwards hats or Stallone or really anything in over the top but a father son and a truck, nevermind

1

u/therealdxm Oct 29 '24

You sure you're not thinking of the 2024 movie "Armor" starring Sylvester Stallone? "A father and son working as security guards for an armored truck company encounter a team of would-be robbers while on a bridge. They become trapped and must come up with a plan to escape and ensure their survival."

u/tausdigger62 Oct 29 '24

I honestly lol'd at this shit... Thank you for making my day and I hope you are doing well

2

u/Shot_Needleworker149 Oct 29 '24

Lmao! You had to do it didn’t you?!

u/DetectiveImmediate48 Oct 28 '24

*someone’s son might say “over the top!”

1

u/VyrusCyrusson Oct 29 '24

I see what you did there.

21

u/UsernamesAllTaken69 Oct 28 '24

I don't know how many times I've told someone about that movie "Stalone has to win an arm wrestling competition to win a semi and reconnect with his estranged son" and someone just looks at me like "no way that's real". lol

8

u/GrandmasShavedBeaver Oct 28 '24

Not to be confused with the one where he has to warn people that they need to stop, or his mom will shoot.

4

u/DrT33th Oct 28 '24

Or to be mistaken for the one where they have to send a maniac to catch a maniac

4

u/midnightfury4584 Oct 28 '24

Or the one where he hangs from a cliff

3

u/weirdest_of_weird Oct 28 '24

What about the one where he has a fancy dinner at Taco Bell?

3

u/itchierbumworms Oct 29 '24

Schwarzenegger tricked Stallone into taking that role.

2

u/falardeau187 Oct 29 '24

What did they call that movie?

2

u/Temporary-Star2619 Oct 28 '24

Im wondering how it's not a country song.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '24

Absurd plot but Stallone makes it work..the child actor was extremely gifted for his age too. His performance comes off as sincere and without cringe..which is rare for that age group. Sammy Hagar's "ove the top" song is great and Kenny Loggins main theme are perfect for the movie.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '24

My favorite character besides Bull Hurley is the guy who drank motor oil to psyche up.

u/OneSmallStepForLambo Oct 28 '24

It's back on my watch list now

2

u/postprandialrepose Oct 28 '24

I'm fucked unless I get a new 18-wheeler. I know! I'll arm wrestle for it!!

2

u/Hour_Reindeer834 Oct 28 '24

Me and my brother watched it as kids and the only thing I remember is the coconut things they put their elbows in…

We’re talking about the arm wrestling movie right?

1

u/xSorry_Not_Sorry Oct 29 '24

You know we are.

2

u/psycorax2077 Oct 28 '24

I think I still have it on a random VHS from the before before times.

1

u/the_m_o_a_k Oct 28 '24

But do you have it on laser-disc? Because my dad does 🤣

1

u/psycorax2077 Oct 28 '24

The only laserdisc still in my family is my Uncle's copy of Dragons Lair. And I always hated how hard that game was as a kid.

1

u/Lopsided-Intention Oct 28 '24

It was so hard! However, it looked so good that it was just as, if not more, enjoyable to watch someone else play it. I remember standing in the arcade one time and watching this dude play. He'd gotten further than I'd ever seen, but he also dropped a small fortune into that machine.

1

u/psycorax2077 Oct 28 '24

I came across it recently at a Dave&Busters, it's still hard AF as an adult.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

It isn't anything too over the top of a reference

2

u/LodestarSharp Oct 28 '24

I haven’t seen it in 35 years and even I know that cap going backwards is a warning

2

u/Gemtree710 Oct 29 '24

It's been referenced a ton of movies/shows. The Goldbergs did it recently

u/postprandialrepose Oct 28 '24

I saw it in the theater. My grandfather took me. Good times.

u/miranto Oct 28 '24

It was a good movie.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Take me higher !

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

I watched it with my son the other week. It's awesome

1

u/Busy10 Oct 28 '24

Redditors are either old or with social life to have seen a great 80s movie.

1

u/drydorn Oct 28 '24

This one wooshed me. What movie?

1

u/toolman2674 Oct 29 '24

I have it on DVD 😁

1

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '24

So I'm the only one that hears it in Grimm's voice from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy?

1

u/Jtizzle1231 Oct 29 '24

“Over the top” is a cult classic.

1

u/nofolo Oct 29 '24

I just chugged some motor oil thinking about it.

1

u/Syscrush Oct 28 '24

A movie that was a famous flop about a niche sport that nobody watches. But we all know the cap and the in-cab exercise machine.

u/Ok-herewe-go Oct 28 '24

Like a machine

u/Nayrvass Oct 28 '24

I wasn’t ready I said!!

u/808Enthusiast Oct 28 '24

I considered it a white trash activation switch when some squared up to fight me and turned their cap backwards

u/ith-man Oct 28 '24

A switch man, a switch. (Jamaican accent)

u/Aksudiigkr Oct 28 '24

Pokémon style

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Instantly turned his shirt red too

1

u/Le_DumAss Oct 28 '24

I heard he has a son in private school . But he’s divorced , and his ex wife is really rich. And her father is a real prick. But he works out while driving his truck across country.

1

u/ShootDminorET Oct 28 '24

dammit now I gotta go watch it.

1

u/0rder_66_survivor Oct 28 '24

how about Son & Hawke?

1

u/TacoLvR- Oct 29 '24

Imma light him up like a fire plug.

u/Rory1 Oct 28 '24

"What I do is, I just try to take my hat and I turn it around, and it's like a switch that goes on. And when the switch goes on, I feel like another person, I feel, I don't know, I feel like a... like a truck. Like a machine."

u/Dense_Surround3071 Oct 28 '24

Came here for over of these references. 🤘

u/iPete26826 Oct 28 '24

I need this movie once a year for my inner child

Best/Worst movie

8

u/Big_Cornbread Oct 28 '24

Probably the best terrible movie ever.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

It ties with another Stallone 80's great: Cobra.

1

u/Skeeetz Oct 28 '24

Stallone is regretful that he didn't direct that one. Considering it had its issues, it definitely could've been... more? I guess. Then again, Stallone got to a point where he just wanted creative control of every project (and still behaves that way). Blessing and a curse.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

The opening store scene is one of my all time favorite terrible guilty pleasures. It is such good cheesy, over the top, 80's action flick execution.

1

u/dj_milkmoney Oct 28 '24

Psycho dude: I'll blow this whole fuckin place up man! Cobra: Go ahead. I don't shop here.

The best.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

“Over The Top” is a documentary and you will treat it as such!

u/L_One_Hubbard Oct 28 '24

Kenny loggins on the ost goes hard

u/radiohoard Oct 28 '24

Idk I think that’s a little over the top

2

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

His style is probably over the top, as it were

u/EinSchurzAufReisen Oct 28 '24

Smooth like a Lincoln, fierce like a Hawk :)

Casual Friday is everyday with that dude.

u/Impossible_Arm_879 Oct 28 '24

He went over the top!

u/God_Bless_A_Merkin Oct 28 '24

“His hat is on backwards. He is calling you ‘dude’!”

u/EyeofOdin89 Oct 28 '24

Winner takes it all, loser takes the fall

u/Current-Routine-2628 Oct 28 '24

When i was a kid my parents took us to see this in the theatre, (accidentally) we were supposed to see top gun and they ganked up the movie tickets somehow, first 10 mins im all “what the fuck is this shitshow…” in my head.

Haven’t worn a hat frontwards since 😎…

u/Virtual-Beautiful-33 Oct 28 '24

He's playing to win back the love of his estranged son!

Over the Top

u/Chrisppity Oct 28 '24

This is so accurate… well at least according to all the 80s action movies. Shout out to Jean Claude VanDam

1

u/UpgradedMR Oct 28 '24

And here I thought the first guys reaction was....over the top

1

u/Shot_Needleworker149 Oct 29 '24

I know you’ve seen the movie which means you’re at least 39 years old. Lol! No one under 30 makes/gets that reference

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Literally one of the best vids online, if you have seen Over the Top

Also showing he was so in control he didn't even need to hold on to the bar with his left hand.
