Unbelievable!

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ROAD HOUSE, OR OVER THE TOP!?!?!?!?!?!?

Ok, I'm cool with that. Not everybody had cable back in the 80's. Actually, I think my parents gave me a year round pass to our Blockbuster at the time, Movies to Go, just so I wouldn't try to explain how wierd it is that Hulk Hogan was in both Rocky 3 and Wrestlemania 3. (side trivia, what was Hogan's name in Rocky 3?) btw, I know the answer, just seeing if you did.)

OK, aside from Tango and Cash, this was the best (worst) Stallone movie (aside from Cliffhanger) (sorry for all the parentheses, but they are needed.)

Stallone, is a truck driver named Hawk. His son is a preppy kid sent to a military school after his mom gets cancer (or some other disease). Kid's mom decides it's a good idea for them to travel across the country and get to know one another. Little do we know that Hawk is also a professional arm wrestler!! That's right. How else do you expect for him to pay for gas?

Robbert Loggia, of Scarface and Big fame, plays the over-protective grandpa who just BEG'S for a tractor-trailor to get driven over his fountain and into his foyer.

The last 30 minutes of this movie are undescribably hilarious. There's the world championship of arm wrestling going on in Vegas. The villain is named Bull Hurley. One of the guys is sponsered by Ben-Gay. None of this is made up.

I'm not recommending this if you're looking for cultural enlightenment. This is Stallone at his best. Any questions?

Final verdict:
2 1/2 Frank Stallone songs
