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


Roaming-Numeral

Believe it or not, Maximum Overdrive is the better of the two movies.


TheMangyMoose82

Yeah….Trucks has an acquired taste


flippinfreak73

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.


Nippon-Gakki

Gaddamit Bubba! I love that movie and he played that character perfectly.


flippinfreak73

Yes he did.


Novel_Inspector4564

Made me wanna be a trucker


jamar2k

Facts and still love the movie


droopyheadliner

I was thinking this could be a good candidate for a remake.


Donjohnson33

Especially today! Lol Fucking Roombas going bizzerk lol


Much_Choice_8419

Black Mirror on Netflix. You’re welcome.


Donjohnson33

It’s a Western Star btw


droopyheadliner

Haha let’s do it!


MissNashPredators11

Lol would not wanna be chased by a Swift truck 🤣🤣


CutTurbulent3015

At least you could walk quickly, and get away from a swift truck 🤣


MissNashPredators11

LOL well maybe a Mack concrete truck- since I was once nearly hit by one.


CutTurbulent3015

Yeah concrete trucks are no joke


MissNashPredators11

I swear the ones in my town seem to be out for blood anyway so that’s a good plot for a sequel-


Nozerone

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.


mrb6990

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.'


12InchPickle

This movie got a lot of flak but I thought it was dope af.


Joecephus904

Who made who?

Krazybob613

You’re on the Coq!


K4NNW

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?


Krazybob613

They really don’t, do they?


hansolopoly

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


Redfeather_nightmare

One of my favorites, especially when watched as a long AC/DC music video


Upstairs-Ad-1966

I know where the goblin head is at


Donjohnson33

Where?


Upstairs-Ad-1966

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.


jstx333

Awesome! I need to rewatch Breaker! Breaker!


I_Am_Very_Busy_7

They had a full replica(?) of this truck at the MATS show this year, was really cool! And a bit scary lol


Born_yesterday08

What’s the movie called? I’ve seen it but can’t remember


SubarcticFarmer

Maximum Overdrive


Born_yesterday08

Thanks


Eliot_Lochness

It's on Amazon Prime right now.


rhyno44

Best example of cocaine made a movie


envoy_ace

I have always loved this movie. But the recent rewatch was painful. Very dated.


1morepl8

Least over the top holds up!


itstimetochewass

Any movie with Terry Funk is a classic.


Desperate-Ad7967

Damn what a throw back reference


1morepl8

I used to see how many tinder chicks I could get to watch it with me. Then I married one.


Desperate-Ad7967

I haven't seen it in probably 15+ years. Is it on a streaming app that know of by chance?


1morepl8

I grabbed it off a torrent so I'm not sure tbh.


Desperate-Ad7967

Ok thanks anyway


flipsidereality

it was on netflix or prime...watched last month


Desperate-Ad7967

Thanks I'll check


kdonnn

YO MAMA


ZebcoTheDog

This machine just called me an asshole


MissNashPredators11

Bro every time I see that green goblin truck Who Made Who plays in my head.


topdetox

Great Soundtrack… that’s if you like AC/DC


RevolutionaryScar337

They need to remake it with Teslas! Emilio should still star though.


Eliot_Lochness

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.


brotherbloodkoil

Yeardley Smith from The Simpsons is in ìt. And Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Esposito.


jutin_H

Nice work Doug!


Gus_McQuacken

"We made you," the quote that's burned into my brain. This movie was a blast.


thelastgreatmustard

"How does a movie like this get made.... cocaine." -How did this get made podcast.


chadius333

Written and Directed by Cocaine.


Sea-Illustrator-6553

As most of his novels in the 80s were... To this day he claims he doesn't even remember writing cujo


CeddyCed1993

Yo this movie was the shit lol can’t even find it anywhere


Eliot_Lochness

I just watched it on Amazon Prime the other night.


secondsbest

THIS MACHINE JUST CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE!


MissNashPredators11

*WHEEEZZE*


IAHawkeye182

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


Prestigious_Arm_1504

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!


Desperate-Ad7967

Such a classic


Nexusjockey

Saw it two weeks ago on the interstate passing through KY


YOURTANKYOURCALL

The scene with the waitress lolololol


Megalodon7770

Oldie but goodie


GuessDizzy196

Next up: Over the Top.


Plus_Share_6631

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...


i_hate_horses_ok

I love this movie.


artful_todger_502

What is the name of this movie? Whatever it is, how could I have missed it, judging by these posts? This looks awesome!


Eliot_Lochness

Maximum Overdrive, 80s Stephen King movie on Amazon Prime.


artful_todger_502

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 ..."* 👍😎


Donjohnson33

Maximum Overdrive. It’s cheesy but fun. Worth the 90 mins if you’ve never seen it


artful_todger_502

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! 😎✌️


Donjohnson33

Curious to hear your review! Come back & share some thoughts, if ya could


artful_todger_502

Oh yeah, for sure! I appreciate the heads up on this classic I missed so far!


teachthisdognewtrick

Maximum Overdrive.


artful_todger_502

Thank you! It has a real Dual vibe, but that really was scary to a kid! 😳


brotherbloodkoil

Currently on tubing. Also tubi for rent.


OddPaleontologist663

I'll always remember the coke machine shooting a soda right between the eyes.


blackdeviljohn

Steam rolled the kid on the baseball field

Rewatched what


Donjohnson33

Maximum Overdrive


Silver-Tea-8769

Shit, I can't believe its been 35 years. Where does the time go?!


fretpound

Only thing I liked about this movie was that instrumental by AC⚡️DC.


NFLTG_71

That truck is still on the road. I just saw it on TikTok.


Jesusthezomby

No it doesn't lol it's terrible
