Watching movie with trucker hat: .... Meh, kinda boring
Turns trucker hat backwards: .... this is the coolest movie ever, I'm gonna watch it again
Turning a baseball cap backwards is always cool
It’s all in the thumb. Everyone knows that.
Well now they do
Genius-level writing. Truly a masterpiece.
Movie title: Over the top
Movie title in Brazil: Falcão, o campeão dos campeões (Falcon, the champion of champions)
It's always interesting to see what titles a company thinks will sell in a different locale when compared with the original. There was a French sci-fi book in the 90s that came into English as Empire of the Ants, but the original title was simply The Ants. And of course you've famously got Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was written in Swedish as Men Who Hate Women.
But my favorite example is the classic Pixar movie that went over to Japan and became Old Man Carl's Flying House.

Howl's Moving Castle got competition
Damn, that's a better title.
(happy falcon sounds)
So sweet, a movie about a guy that becomes a champion in holding hands :)
The secret is eye contact
And making an extra-serious face.
I always wondered if Arnold Schwarzenegger tricked him into that one too.
This one was actually good, so probably not. I really enjoyed this movie as a kid.
That was "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot"
Hence "too".
Apologies. No, Sly took on "Over the Top" all his own. Dude made some questionable choices in projects, but at least we got "Demolition Man" out of it.
I saw that in theatre when I was a kid. I remember enjoying it. But hey, I was a dumbass kid.
I do not remember his opponent being that much bigger. Yeesh! Sly must be really good at arm wrestling.
It's not always brute force. There is some technique involved.
Its a TV program- a movie
WHAT?
You take that back, right now!
I present to you Devon Larrat
Skip to 1:28 and you'll see a 225lb guy arm wrestling Hafthor (you know, "The Mountain" and worlds strongest man.)
this was the first time i saw a trucker hat put on backwards.
"let's do a movie where Patrick Swayze kicks everyone in a bar, and fights Terry funk"
*kicks everyone in a bar with ballet moves
So good they made it twice.
Like, seriously tho. Stop remaking classic movies that still hold up well enough. Did anyone even like the Point Break remake? Or Red Dawn?
Is this the movie where a guys arm bone busts through his skin? That's the only part I remember from childhood...
I think that was "The Fly"
That's it I'm going... Over the top
Over the Top!
Does anyone remember the son's name in the movie?
Oh dear, I’ve seen this movie. It’s a trip.
