Very 80s, very cheasy... and ..., somehow, very nearly a decent film. Judging by just about every single other rating, I probably shouldn't like this movie, but I couldn't help being won over by Stallone. His likeable, "macho meets pleasantness" Hawk made the material work and, sort of against my will, I have to confess to enjoying it very much. [edit: It's actually very rewatchable, too.]

Misleading title alert. It's more of a schmaltzy father/son story with some arm wrestling thrown in to quell the masses thirsty for some OVER THE TOP man-on-man action.

One of the more unintentionally hilarious movies I've ever seen, melding the irresistible worlds of arm-wrestling and truck-driving. It's almost unbelievable that this as an actual movie that was pitched and approved by a major motion picture studio. The 80s were a different time. The kid's a real asshole, but a lot of bad things happen to him and it made me very happy. ...and I'd be lying if I said the final showdown wasn't every bit as tense and fun as the movie intended.

This is a heartwarming and entertaining film about one mans battle to win his sons accept...oh, sod it: It's a movie about truckers and arm wrestling. Which is exactly as awesome as it sounds.

Truck drivin' Stallone has to bond with his estranged son while also winning a series of arm-wrestling tournaments? Who could hate that? Commies, that's who.

I agree with the majority on this one. It is stupid. Period. Seriously, this is a wide-release action film about arm wrestling, which means that on face it fails. However, it is the definition of guilty pleasure, and Rick Zumwalt is in my top ten of Best Explicitly Typecast Character Actors of All Time (RIP).

Trucker Lincoln Hawk has his mind set on two things: Firstly, he's on a path of redemption, trying to win over his son's heart, after having been bullied out of the family by his upper class father-in-law, a mission painfully crystallized as the wife falls terminally ill. Now, the OTHER thing on Hawks mind is arm wrestling. Using a special grip (I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's cheating), he challenges to be the best damned arm wrestler in the world. And why the hell not?
