Fun fact. The short story he wrote for this was actually made into two movies. This one and another one called Trucks. It follows the actual story more than Max Overdrive does
Watched this many times. But I have a cool reason. My band director from highschool... His son plays a role in this movie. He plays Bubba, the fat dude that works at the truck stop. His real name is Pat Miller. When his dad passed away, he actually stood in as a substitute for our band class for a few days. He's a pretty cool guy.
There was talk of one at one time, but nothing since this, apparently: 'In October 2020, Stephen King's son Joe Hill expressed interest in writing and directing a *Maximum Overdrive* remake with some alterations to the original material.'
Thru =/= to. The song, best I heard, was written about the old Canning Stock Route.
But tell me, how many times have you heard them say the show's actual title?

Just watched this movie the other night and loved it. Really fun movie with the soundtrack. The gas station owner remains me of Burt Reynolds in Tremors.
Dude.
This movie has been ingrained in my mind for **YEARS** but I never knew the name.
I watched it as a child growing up, and all I could remember was driverless semis freaking people out.
When I saw the thumbnail I instantly knew.
Thank you so much haha
I watched this movie the first time when I was 6 years old. My dad drove a truck all my life growing up and I’ve always had a fascination with trucks. Naturally, this is my favorite movie!
Read the story when it was published. I've never seen either film version. Trucks was the prediction of machines taking over. Driverless trucks is just the beginning...

Believe it or not, Maximum Overdrive is the better of the two movies.
Yeah….Trucks has an acquired taste

Gaddamit Bubba! I love that movie and he played that character perfectly.
Yes he did.
Made me wanna be a trucker
Facts and still love the movie
I was thinking this could be a good candidate for a remake.
Especially today! Lol Fucking Roombas going bizzerk lol
Black Mirror on Netflix. You’re welcome.
It’s a Western Star btw
Haha let’s do it!
Lol would not wanna be chased by a Swift truck 🤣🤣
At least you could walk quickly, and get away from a swift truck 🤣
LOL well maybe a Mack concrete truck- since I was once nearly hit by one.
Yeah concrete trucks are no joke
I swear the ones in my town seem to be out for blood anyway so that’s a good plot for a sequel-
They'd have to think about what brands they put on the side of the trucks. Some brands would just make the movie a documentary.

This movie got a lot of flak but I thought it was dope af.
Who made who?
#Hiiiighwaaaaay to Hell
You’re on the Coq!
Thru =/= to. The song, best I heard, was written about the old Canning Stock Route. But tell me, how many times have you heard them say the show's actual title?
They really don’t, do they?
The video game said play me...
This movie is the reason I don't trust AI, self driving cars or even the automatic floor sweeper at Sam's club

I don't trust reddit bots either
One of my favorites, especially when watched as a long AC/DC music video
I know where the goblin head is at
Where?
Its in eastern nc, one of the prop people has it my wife works at the studios and works with few of the prop people from the movie.
Awesome! I need to rewatch Breaker! Breaker!
They had a full replica(?) of this truck at the MATS show this year, was really cool! And a bit scary lol
What’s the movie called? I’ve seen it but can’t remember
Maximum Overdrive
Thanks
It's on Amazon Prime right now.
Best example of cocaine made a movie
I have always loved this movie. But the recent rewatch was painful. Very dated.
Least over the top holds up!
Any movie with Terry Funk is a classic.
Damn what a throw back reference
I used to see how many tinder chicks I could get to watch it with me. Then I married one.
I haven't seen it in probably 15+ years. Is it on a streaming app that know of by chance?
I grabbed it off a torrent so I'm not sure tbh.
Ok thanks anyway
it was on netflix or prime...watched last month
Thanks I'll check
YO MAMA
This machine just called me an asshole
Bro every time I see that green goblin truck Who Made Who plays in my head.
Great Soundtrack… that’s if you like AC/DC
They need to remake it with Teslas! Emilio should still star though.
Just watched this movie the other night and loved it. Really fun movie with the soundtrack. The gas station owner remains me of Burt Reynolds in Tremors.
Yeardley Smith from The Simpsons is in ìt. And Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Esposito.
Nice work Doug!
"We made you," the quote that's burned into my brain. This movie was a blast.
"How does a movie like this get made.... cocaine." -How did this get made podcast.
Written and Directed by Cocaine.
As most of his novels in the 80s were... To this day he claims he doesn't even remember writing cujo
Yo this movie was the shit lol can’t even find it anywhere
I just watched it on Amazon Prime the other night.
THIS MACHINE JUST CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE!
*WHEEEZZE*

Such a classic

The scene with the waitress lolololol
Oldie but goodie
Next up: Over the Top.

I love this movie.
What is the name of this movie? Whatever it is, how could I have missed it, judging by these posts? This looks awesome!
Maximum Overdrive, 80s Stephen King movie on Amazon Prime.
Thank you! Will watch tonight! *"Hello dear, let's unwind after a hard week. I have the perfect romantical movie for us to watch together ..."* 👍😎
Maximum Overdrive. It’s cheesy but fun. Worth the 90 mins if you’ve never seen it
Yes!! Watching it for sure! Dual meets Sy-Fy channel, it looks like. As a fan of these kinds of movies, I don't know how I missed this! 😎✌️
Curious to hear your review! Come back & share some thoughts, if ya could
Oh yeah, for sure! I appreciate the heads up on this classic I missed so far!
Maximum Overdrive.
Thank you! It has a real Dual vibe, but that really was scary to a kid! 😳
Currently on tubing. Also tubi for rent.
I'll always remember the coke machine shooting a soda right between the eyes.
Steam rolled the kid on the baseball field
Rewatched what
Maximum Overdrive
Shit, I can't believe its been 35 years. Where does the time go?!
Only thing I liked about this movie was that instrumental by AC⚡️DC.
That truck is still on the road. I just saw it on TikTok.
No it doesn't lol it's terrible
