Is it an actual phrase or made up for this movie? They translated it as "kill or die" in Spanish. I didn't think it meant that, more "beyond your all".
Thoughts?
Well for starters the over the top acting from Stallone lol. But it basically means when your arm wrestling then your hand goes over the top to the other side to either win or lose.

Over the top is a phrase that is used when something is exaggerated, outrageously overdone, too extreme, excessively expressive... you often use it about actors, saying that they've made an over-the-top performance, for example you can say that about most Nicholas Cage or Jim Carrey performances, sometimes Al Pacino or Jack Nicholson.
I've heard it more said as "overboard" acting, but yeah, people say "it was over the top".
In this movie, I think they were trying to create a phrase. I don't think anyone ever says "do it over the top".
well in ww1 it meant certain death...being trench warfare...going over the top was a phrase basically meaning see you in the hereafter.

shareevery guy in ww1...it's all over the internet, library, history channel, pbs docu's...hall of records....snoop dog's internal hard drive...get were I'm going with this.
pretty much common knowledge to anybody who really takes the time to learn of the great carnage that we call ww1...ww2 eclipsed it in scope n destruxtion and brutality so I guess that's why most ppl never learn much about it.
so much right and also wrong in your 2 posts
shareThey reference the phrase during the movie. It relates to arm-wrestling, moving your hand over to the other person’s side

Well i think the spanish translation is horrific!
I thought it was specifically the armwrestling move he does against Smasher and Bill Hurley and that his son does against the punk: where you adjust your grip mid match and put your fingers over the top of their thumb giving you move leverage. Right when his son does it he’s all “that’s it, Mike, over the top!”
