Title: Please help me & my friend Sylvester Stallone...
Post by: dragonboy on May 12, 2008, 08:59 AM
...& Rick Zumwalt (the bald guy that played Bob 'Bull' Hurley!) to raise Over The Top's poor score (4.3?!! WTF?!!) @ IMBD!

Granted, it wasn't Stallone's best but any kid of the 80's (fan of Stallone/Kenny Logins/Sammy Hagar etc) will agree that 4.3 is just not fair. Lets see if we can't get it up to at least a 6 within a week or 2  :)

Nah, 4.3 seems about right!  ;D

Good to see you db! Hey, we're moving from San Francisco, so we won't be here when you visit  :'( BUT, if you'd like, I can still give you any advice about where to go and what to do...the early July concert calendars are starting to fill out!

Alright, for all the effort you put into your post, I'll go give Sly and Co. a bump.

shut up!  ;D

i was trying to remember the name of this movie the other day when trying to describe it to someone else.

i was like, "what's that movie where stallone drives a semi? and he wrestles some dude to win a bossed out truck at the end?" just got a lot of blank stares in return. but now i remember!

thank you for helping me out with that one, db. this movie is HILARIOUS. deserves more than a 4.3, i think...

The dude that drinks a quart of motor oil before every match should alone bump it up to at least a 5.1.

great movie, but over time its lead to a bunch of shitty "tough guy" things...

turning the hat around and then bringing up the "switch", what tough guy doesn't do that? what tough guy doesn't challenge someone to an arm wrestling contest, and then brings up Over the Top, like we all should laugh. not funny, and not cool.

I have a Kenny Loggins best of CD (Megalicious knows what I'm talking about!)
Kenny has done lots of soundtrack work & in each case on the CD it informs you of what movie the song is from (I'm Alright from Caddyshack, Footloose from er...Footloose, Danger Zone from Top Gun, Your Heart Will Lead You Home from Tigger The Movie haha) except for Meet Me Halfway from OTT where the film isn't mentioned.
It's almost as if Kenny & his record company felt the movie wasn't worth mentioning or, dare I say it? as if Kenny is embarrassed by the association?!!

Shame on you Kenny, shame on you  :-/
