Yes, but an honest question from a non-American: Isn't that much/more/most/greater/grander of "everything" rather than over-the-top? Over-the-top, to me, implies a taking something to-the-extreme-and-then-some, and it's in this latter phase of and-then-some where the essence of over-the-top-ness is happening, because it requires something new to happen. Making a building just more tall isn't any "new" it's "only" much/more/most/greater/grander of the thing that's already there. Not that scyscrapers aren't impressive or anything and they are new in the sense that such thing haven't always been around. To me, Pulp fiction has something of over-the-top-ness, but Rambo never had.
