RiffTrax
Over the Top (Three-Riffer Edition) (1x431)
: 30, 2024
We’re turning our trucker hats around so we can win back the love of an estranged son by cheating at arm wrestling. Just like any other day. But, coincidentally, we’re also releasing our brand new Mike, Kevin and Bill riff of Over the Top!
It’s the 80's classic that finally brought trucking, arm wrestling, child custody cases, and the raw shouting power of Robert Loggia together. Sylvester Stallone is a trucker who spends most of his time hauling Brut cologne and cutting the sleeves off his shirts. Until the day his forgotten, dying wife decides he should reconnect with their military school brat of a son. But the boy’s grandfather Robert Loggia isn’t about to let that happen because hey, he’s Robert Loggia, baby! Naturally, all this emotional family drama culminates in truck-based violence and an arm wrestling tournament in Las Vegas.
If you’ve ever been puzzled by a riff referencing “Hawks” or “Hawk” or “double elimination tournaments,” the answers you seek are here at last.
