I always considered this to be the definitive arm wrestling movie. But I gotta give that instead to "Champion", a South Korean movie featuring the sport that very much feels like a heartwarming 80's comedy. Ma-dong Seok is the truck-sized lead in that film, big star over there, remembered by genre audiences for "Train To Busan" and Marvel's "Eternals". And yes, "Over The Top" is mentioned multiple times.
Also reviewed a lady arm wrestling movie a little while back, the goofy comedy GOLDEN ARM.
I haven’t seen this in 25+ years, but I will forever remember the kid ordering wheat toast without butter at the truck stop restaurant. Funny the things that stick with you.
I just like how the casino lets him place a large bet on himself to win, in what is apparently a huge sport in this universe. This would be a big gambling scandal now.
Excellent as usual James!!!
Thanks Henny! 🙌🏻
