Over the Top: Hawk vs Hawks (Lincoln Hawk(s) )


Over the Top: Hawk vs Hawks (Lincoln Hawk(s) )
I wrote about this a while ago, but I found it amusing that the movie, which was written by Sylvester Stallone, couldn't keep the main character's name straight. Sometimes, characters would call Sylvester's character Hawk or Hawks.
From the Wiki page, ((There is some confusion over the actual name of Stallone's character. In the credits, he is listed as Lincoln Hawk. In addition, the door on his original truck says, "Hawk." However, Robert Loggia's character refers to him variously as Hawks and Hawk[1], as do many members of the supporting cast. Finally, Hawk writes a letter to his wife and addresses it to Christina Hawks. ))
You would think one of the writers of the screenplay would know of his character was named Hawk or Hawks. Don't tell me Stallone just didn't care. (sarcasm)
Even the trailer announcer calls him Hawks!
Didn't someone catch this?
I always hated Over the Top, because it was a lame remake of Rocky, but with arms.
I love the mass expressions on the entire crowd in this photo.  It looks like they all farted at the same time.
