Post your thoughts on Over the Top!

One of my favorite riffs was when Hawk was driving along by himself in the truck, and he's pumping iron, and Mike says something like "the first hybrid cars that were half gas-powered, half Stallone-powered were wildly unsuccessful".  I thought that was a very clever riff.

Here's something I don't get: Why did Michael's mom hide the card Hawk(s) sent to him all those years, then all out of the blue she wants them two to bond or something.

My favorite riff was: "This is the closet kid. Get use to it."

I wondered that too.  I thought the grandfather would have been the one to hide/destroy them but the mom had them.  That makes no sense.

I still want to know why exactly the grandfather gives up after Hawk wins at arm wrestling...

or is it hawks? I mean, the trailer said hawks....

Credits say Hawk...

Well, it looks like they made up their mind in the end...

Who would of thought it was a tough decision. I bet there was a big battle about it off set, and then half the cast said "I'm going to call him hawks" and the other half said "I'm going to call him hawk" and then the two sides never made up....then Loggia switch sides mid-movie...

...the late 80's were brutal man...

Maybe every time they called Hawk "Hawks" they were trying to describe something which Hawk possessed, but it was edited later due to...um.....ok fine. It's because the movie sucked.  :-",

That's funny, cuz even Stallone refers to himself as "Hawks" in the scene when he's placing the bet on himself.  Nobody gets it right!

[macleod]

maybe it WAS possessive like hawk's....but they just forgot to reference the object...

I'm telling you, major in-production fight... it went down bad...or maybe they just changed their minds halfway through filming...

Maybe he was from the South. We add Ss to almost everything.  "I'm going to the Walmarts."  for example.

Weird southern accent though.

[Pak-Man]

Maybe there's a hidden message in the movie that can be found by comparing scenes where he's Hawk to scenes where he's Hawks. I'll bet it's a cleverly encoded ransom message. Pity it's a ransom message from the '80s. :^) Or MAYBE he was cloned and his clone goes by Hawks to distinguish himself. Or maybe they're refering to the entire Hawk Family: The Hawks..

...or maybe we're over-thinking this?

This forum? Think? NEVER!

Maybe we should analyze the cumulative impact of Kenny Loggins vocals' on the cinematic Identity of the recent subculture that expired in the early 1990s?
