even if it's just one arm wrestle.

there's that scene in THE FLY (1986)

There's Sly Stone's 2nd best film after COBRA (thus sayeth me), OVER THE TOP (1987)



and there's the fantastic(ly bad) HANDS OF STEEL (1986)


any others? even a brief shot of an arm wrestle going on counts..

I thought Alex was joking with The Fly, so I joined and added Hands of Steel and Over the Top.

Alex deleted his post, so did I. I also think Trevor deleted a post, but not sure.

I get a feeling some people just don't read the opening post  :buggedout:

I swear I've started to watch this film 3 or 4 times but always get distracted or something happens that means I don't finish it

an unbelievable thread

wait until page 4, we'll be livestreaming the official badmovies arm wrestle tournament...

I'm in training right now, being coached by international arm wrestling grand master Steven Seagal

Not sure if this counts as it's an "interactive" animated movie, but here goes:
SCOURGE OF WORLDS: A DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ADVENTURE (2003)
Pretty darn cool for its time, though the computer animation is not always impressive (especially the battle scenes).
A scene involves the hero Regdar arm-wrestling a barbarian woman.
