I really always enjoyed this film ever since watching it a couple of years after it came out. I also think it is one of Stallone's most underrated films.The plot revolves around him trying to bond with his estranged son while clashing with his father-in-law. Meanwhile the whole film culminates in Las Vegas at the World Arm Wrestling Championships. The climax is exactly what you'd expect but, like Rocky, you just can't help cheer on the big man.I imported this from America because it is not yet available in the UK and is Region Free. It played on my BluRay player fine (I own a Sony player) and the price is also quite reasonable.I was really blown away by the picture quality though. I only remember this on DVD but the image quality on BluRay is superb considering this is quite an old film (made in 1987) and not one of Stallone's better known titles. Audio is also first rate with a Dolby DTS-HD soundtrack, even though it's a dialogue heavy film, you can hear the difference during the climatic arm wrestling scenes.Well worth getting if your a Stallone fan.

Bought late for a Xmas present seller sent out super quick it arrived in time communication excellent with seller great all round service and would highly recommend buying from this seller. Thanks again will be back to buy something in the future

Love this film. Got to be 1 of my favourite Stallone films of all time. His family is torn apart by the father in law until his mom falls I'll and she wants Hawk (Stallone) to get re acquainted with his son and the battle he has to win over his son and fighting his father in law over his son. Lies, deceit, heart break it's got it all.

Over the Top is an easily understood,geel-good, adrenaline kicking movie...Trucker wants to make up for lost time with his snot-nosed son,dying wife and angry grandad...The movie follows us,him and his kidnapped son in his big old truck on the road to Vegas where he is taking part in the World arm wrestling Championshgips,You see,if he can win the title he`ll make up for the 15 years he`s just missed out on with his family and all will be well in the World again...The arm wrestling Contest at the end is something else though,A world all of its own by the looks of it...buy it...today !!!

Thanks 👍

J’adore

Me quede con ganas de conseguirla con el doblaje latino, sin embargo en el idioma original esta excelente y emocionante, no se cuantas veces la he visto desde que salió.La mire en VHS y ahora en DVD y aunque es Región 1 la peli se mira excelente.

Otra película obligada a tener en la estantería! Bluray correcto en hd.

Meny på filmen är på engelska men omslaget som säljarn visar stämmer inte, lägger upp rätt.Kvaliten på skiva är helt ok, har engelsk, italiensk, spansk text. Typiskt 80 tals action av Stallone

very good movie
