  • Lincoln betting all $7,000 from his truck sale on himself is admired.
  • The cholesterol-poisoning exchange is enjoyed for its terrible dialogue.
  • Tournament structure and Rick Zumwalt’s imposing Bull Hurley casting work well.
  • Evil Robert Loggia is a strength.
  • The Hagar music video and a Golan-Globus production credit promise enjoyable excess.
  • The SNL sketch in which Norm Macdonald mocks Stallone’s movies after an accident is recommended.
  • Larry Greene’s opening song is considered underrated and better than Meet Me Half Way.
  • The repeated double-elimination explanations, strap and John Grizzly’s eccentric performance remain enjoyable.
  • The truck’s exercise apparatus remains a childhood favorite, despite likely producing an uneven physique.
  • Arriving midway through a funeral, silently dropping flowers and leaving is enjoyed as an absurd recurring movie convention.
  • A child watching an estranged father do something impressive captures a powerful emotional experience.
