The song, the song, the song...Awesome

Soundtrack clip from the underrated "Over the Top" here's a standard clip that mixes clips from Stallone film along with Kenny Loggins performing the song. When that was a current in the 1980's until the 1990's made better versions and examples on how to mix both medias - e.g. Guns N'Roses "You Could Be Mine" where the band interacts with the main star along with the film clips. So, am I saying there's nothing special in "Meet Me Halfway"? Well, in terms of clips it brings me memories from a childhood movie that was (and is) a favorite of mine and the thing that always stood in my head besides the father/son relation with the sport and stuff was this marvelous song. It just gives me the chills and it was one of Loggins final hits around here. More than the song, there isn't much to be said.

Video has Loggins on bars, walking on desert highways, all 1980's style, looking hot with those shades and then the rest of it it's Stallone and David Mendehall memorable moments from "Over the Top". That's it. Bottom of line: we're only it for the song and here's a pleasant and nice one - slightly dated with its drum echo and appealing guitar solo but it's a nice effort, and it would be interesting if at least they could get an Oscar nomination that year - but the negative press all over the film (or lack of promotion by Golan and Globus team in campaigning for it) prevented its nomination. If curious the "Dirty Dancing" theme was the winner - deserved all the way. It makes more for the film. Anyway, it's an enjoyable video music but almost forgettable. 8/10

The song was the only good thing about Over the Top!

I really loved Kenny Loggins Danger Zone and this song is my second favorite of his. He just has such a powerful voice that just sweeps you away. My only problem is that this song was on the soundtrack of one of the dumbest movies I ever saw (that description fits a large percentage of Stallonge's movies). Over The Top starred Sylvester Stallone as an arm wrestler trying to win back custody of his son after his ex wife dies. The thing I remember about the movie is that his son was the biggest snot nosed brat I ever saw and I don't know why he WANTED custody of him. Lets face it except for Rocky and Rambo, Cliffhanger and the Expendables series most of Stallones movies are junk and he is a terrible actor. Loggins deserved a better film to have his song played in.
