Ah, but the movie isn't about arm wrestling but only uses that most noble of sports as a backdrop to the heart wrenching saga of a man's love for his son that stretched through the years to reunite them.

So true Expat. I think it is further validated by a Kenny Loggins track. Also of note: Robert Loggia breaks from his normal heart warming role to be the villain and Stallone actually plays a role where he overcomes against all odds. Lastly, those looking closely will notice that his truck has big wheels that go round and round.
