I was a small child when I saw this movie and was scared!!!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

The goblin was severely damaged in the movie, if this is the original goblin, I'm impressed. Last I heard, the guy who owned the goblin was working to rebuild the green goblin truck but it was taking time. Edit**This is not the original head but I am even more impressed that they hand built this replica. Beautiful job.

[@middleage_maniac1692]

This movie was bad ass and so many great scenes. The soda machine, electric knife, arcade. My favorite scene is where all the vehicles show up though, and he tells them he is out of gas. This truck and the army jeep were my favorite vehicles in it. I even had a small crush on the actress with the funny voice.

[@wavycamlol]

My Grandma indroduced me to this movie and the other movie "Trucks" so many years ago and I loved it and it just fed my love for trucks, and machinery even more and I still re watch to this day a lot. R.I.P Granma

[@truckerray7533]

I loved it for the truck itself, moreless!!! Awesome movie. There was a copycat version of Maximum Overdrive but i cant remember the name of it!

[@9751asd]

Finally!! It's about time someone built a exact replica using the correct truck

[@Willy2000ization]

I hope these means toy versions or scale models will be available someday

[@Bigpimpin9393]

Shut up your a Canadian

[@r1ckyrampag330]

With the exception of “Smokey and the bandit”, and “Convoy”, this is probably one of the most iconic semis out there. Definitely the most distinct!!! Awesome build. Edit: honorable mention, the 1967 Autocar model a64 from “Over The Top”! Anyone remember that movie?

[@bubbakushingtonIII]

Loved it when I was a kid seeing it in the movies in the 90s and I still love this truck and the DUEL rig.

[@jameshelms190]

You could not be more right.👍

[@christramontana3598]

Yes the day cab in the beginning of the movie that is my favorite movie truck out of all of them I would love to have that truck would love to see someone build one again

" That was your rig, wasn't it, Handy? "" Yeah." " Well then, who was drivin' it? "" I don't know. But he must've beena hot-wire champion. " This is freaking awesome, superb job. I was so obsessed with this movie when I was little in the 90s.

My uncle Clyde work at Estes beside the Dixie boy truck stop where most of it was filmed. I know it was a staged truckstop but I went to work with him one day and watch them it was the best day ever. Love that movie so much. Plus it was filmed in my home town.

[@middleage_maniac1692]

I’d like to see this guy get the pictures. Between how close he was to the movie and his picture.

as a young boy here down under i remember my dad took me to see a film with a truck that chased a man all over the desert ,a very old movie but that was the basis of the movie and my ol boy loved it ,ha hated goin to the cinema on hes own so he would drag me along ,i was only there for the popcorn and chocolate ice cream but the ol boy loved it

[@monkebusiness8779]

My dads a trucker he let me watch it at 10 years old I fell in love with it ever since love my favorite part when the coach got hit in the Jingle bells by the coke can 🤣

[@allywilkeforsenate]

Me and my friends died laughing at that when we where kids.🤣

[@allywilkeforsenate]

I am the biggest fan of Maximum overdrive because my friend that I grew up with outlaw trucking before we could even have drivers licenses told me that he wanted that truck when we where kids.Years later we are still friends and I went in a mission to find the truck from the movies only to find that one was blown up,One face was cut apart to sell as a souvenir in pieces and one can not be bought.He has a prominent body shop and we decided it was not worth it to restore the original.It is still sitting in a junk yard in NC if you want it.

[@donmccord]

That’s awesome where the hell did you find a 77 white western star lol I loved this movie as a kid in the 80’s I tried watching it a few years ago I made it about 10 minutes in and was like what the hell was I thinking as a kid lol but super cool build I love it!!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

You're not kidding, that old Starcar is pretty rare

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

His is a 71 but the body style never really changed.

[@johnwood7939]

Well being 16 at the time the movie came out and being a lover of big rigs and Rock & Roll the AC/DC sound track is what drew me to it. Thought it was a great Thriller, Sci-Fie movie.

[@lissaleigh]

the whole idea that machines could come to life and do the things that happened was terrifying. i enjoyed every bit of the movie from the beginning to the escape. to me it will always remain an icon. thank you for everything you’ve done to bring a treasured moment back to life :)

[@mischiefwolf8252]

Maximum Overdrive and Christine and Tommyknockers are three of my most favorite movies books and movies by Stephen King

[@seanwatts8342]

Christine was awesome.

[@DieselDoc78]

@@seanwatts8342 heard there is a sequel in the early development stages (not joking). They better not fuck that up.

[@paulgushue9083]

One of my most favourite movies. Always said if I won the lottery I have a green goblin truck. Love it.

[@derkyderk9526]

This was and still is my favorite movie of all time. I played this movie all the time as a kid growing up, im suprised my dvd isnt completely worn out. My dad showed me this movie when i was about 3 and its one of the very few things we can actually bond over. We have a rocky history but this is one that we can always go back on and talk about. I remember seeing the original Goblin head be remade a few years ago and i thought that was the best we'd have, but to see this truck come back to life and be recreated like this is absolutely overwhelming for me and has brought so much joy to my heart. I just want to say thank you guys for putting in all this hard work in such a short time. Ride on!

[@jeremyjenniges302]

My dad rented this movie on vhs 36 years ago i have a passion for semi's ever since I was old enough love the movie hands down the greatest truck movie made back when semi had good looks to them

[@justincollins7233]

Thanks for that vid, it brought back memories. I watched that movie 100+ times.

[@michaelliles5036]

this was the only movie that when I was a kid had me watching between my fingers. I freaking love it now

[@spaceflight1019]

This truck needs to go to Canada! I'd love to see it on TV.

[@GCF-Media]

I saw maximum overdrive when I was a little kid. Granted this was 30 years after the movie came out. And while I loved it. It made scared of big rigs. I wouldn't walk around the front of one without watching it in case it came to life for like 5-7 years. But the goblin truck was always so fascinating to me. A big black loud truck with a goblin face on the front? Who in their right mind thinks that's a great children's product right? That thing delivers toys? Haha. The sound was always one of the best parts of the truck. It was just so menacing.

[@reelshawnbradly3069]

Loved that movie. Grew up trucking, have driven just about everything I can behind the wheel of. Now I do acting and stunt work so I have a double connection to the film.

[@anthonymuro1642]

God damn you Joey! I told you to keep an eye on them keys! Bubba

[@TheRoadhammer379]

This is my favorite truck of any movie truck. ICONIC!!! I was at the Joplin Petro on Tuesday, show rigs were already coming in.

[@dwightsalter2394]

I saw this movie when I was 14 about to be 15 so it was a great birthday present. I waited in line for over an hour and since then I’ve seen it about 25 times. It’s a great movie to watch and get popcorn and turn the lights out. Great movie and awesome truck for truck lovers. I got the best of both worlds.

[@604h22a]

Imagine driving along in your vehicle and you see this in your rear view mirror

[@vettebecker1]

Fell in love with the movie from the start, the whole concept of something so monstrous with a evil drive behind it. The star of the movie to me was the Goblin truck, I pictured myself a million times behind the wheel. Couldn’t imagine the looks the driver gets with this thing, awesome job!!!

[@russellhuston6481]

Im painting my 53ft'er this summer(2023) identical to the original happy toys build. I AM the biggest fan! Lol. This reilly was my fav movie all my life.

[@amsoiladam]

Old truck movies are great. I remember maximum overdrive from when I was a kid.

[@thomassullivan3329]

I'm a fan because I'm a huge Stephen King fan!! Love the sound of those screamin Detroit and this movie had one of the BEST soundtracks out of any movie!!

[@kirkjones9827]

I love the movie so I bought and still have a copy today. I drove for 17 years before a forklift took me out. And AC/DC IS my favorite band. So the movie sound track is top notch. So this move is my two favorite things.

[@joryhuttinga6450]

The original terminator! Machine taking over the world because of a comic, can't beat that plot line!!! And AC/DC doing the sound track was a great foot to the floor addition! Best scene was the kid getting taken out by the soda machine!!

[@ronaldn4543]

who cares if the movie was bad . . . this AWESOME TRUCK and the AC/DC soundtrack is all you need --- I'm a big fan, I still watch the movie lol

[@chosenone101]

Wow!! Stephen King should autograph the dashboard!

[@carlclayton6991]

I SEEN THIS AT THE THEATER WHEN IT CAM OUT. AC/DC SOUNDTRACK BLARING WHO MADE WHO.......GREAT ALLTIME MOVIE. REMEMBER THE POP CAN FLYIN OUT OF THE POP MACHIME ?

[@dominicselzo3511]

When I was a kid I loved trucks playing matchboxes, going to work with my dad all that stuff. Then one day I saw this movie on t.v when they played other movies then marvel I was probably around 8 years old or so and it scared the crap out of me for the longest time! I would never walk in front of a truck or behind it I'd make a big circle walking by the trucks so if it tried to run me over I had time to move lol but know as an adult it's one of my favorite movies of all times brings back a lot of memories

[@truckerdudexxl]

Pure nostalgia‼️‼️ I wasn't born when this movie was made but my goodness I sure did make up for lost time when I was growing up. Another great video brother, definitely made me wanna hit the road ‼️‼️

[@chillywater9455]

The AC/DC soundtrack is what made this movie so great for me.

[@tylerbuckley2092]

I am the biggest fan of maximum overdrive for the truck and all the action in it it was the first movie that I seen that was scary

[@ls1_cammeroh]

I’d use this thing for deliveries across the country. You would meet so many people/fans. I would love to see this truck in person some day

[@Chris_Troxler]

I'm so jealous. I swear, if I owned this, I would drive this through Wilmington, NC.

[@Dodgeviper591]

My dad made me watch it when I was 3 scared the death out of me and now I love the movie

My favorite truck from Stephen King Maximum Overdrive

[@Urlhere]

I've always wanted to build one. I'm glad someone did.

[@raymondreddington4952]

I remember watching this movie on TBS when I was a kid, never thought I would become a trucker 😂

[@cwk1981]

i come from a trucking family. i grew up watching maximum overdrive, white line fever, convoy and smokey and the bandit. i wish i had the money to build that same set up just so i could drive it around town scaring people.

[@seanwatts8342]

*I AM the biggest Maximum Overdrive fan.* For over 20 years, I had a friend who lived in Wilmington NC. Every time we drove from Raleigh NC to Wilmington, I would purposely go out of my way to drive by the lot where the "Dixie Boy Truck Stop" was built for the movie. My wife is originally from Germany and had never seen it. I didn't tell her too much detail other than 'There was a movie filmed there'.. then we watched the movie and she _lost her mind._ She said "We will NEVER go by that place again!" I said, "OK, we'll go by Wrightsville Beach then go through town." Then when we were on the drawbridge, I told her "This is the drawbridge in the opening scene of the movie" She screamed so loud my ear rang for 10 minutes straight.... totally worth it. Her parents thought the whole idea was pretty funny.

[@garettpeterson4005]

What a great moment God bless happy to see this

[@kennethtallent9609]

Im a very big fan of maximum overdrive,im such a fan when i was 15 it took me two to three weeks to draw,color in the goblin face and the truck and trailor,i drew it by freestyling,looking at a picture and drawing

I remember watching this in hi school,love the soundtrack,grew up around trucking,still doing it After 30 plus years,love Steven King movies as well

[@jeremyscheff6816]

My dad trucked all my life. I have always loved trucks. When he bought this VHS and I watched it. I love that truck. Nothing cooler than a gobblin head on the front of a big rig. I would love to drive that truck. Maximum Overdrive is one of my favorite truckin movies next too Smoky and the Bandit. This builder did an amazing job building that truck and trailer. Definitely did it justice. I would love a Autograph from those great actors a d the builder of that Bad Ass truck. Thanks for posting this video.

[@tylercassels6625]

My love for trucks started the day I first seen maximum overdrive. To this day it’s still my #1 favorite truck movie.

Well first of all, stephen king is a genius and being a truck lover all my life ive been hooked on this movie since i was first introduced to it. So many cool classic trucks in it, pretty much why i bought my own truck and am restoring it. (1980 Ford Cl9000 cabover)

Look at that ol westernstar how cool.

[@pork-chopexpress991]

[@adamjohnson3400]

Because I really like Joey and I absolutely love the green goblin truck and Because the truck has a Detroit diesel in it i grew up around the Detroit diesel and I love the sound of it and not only that I love the old school western star . And I love the big green goblin face on the truck.

[@krisbryant7100]

Best video you have done Alex. I always wondered of all the movie replica truck's this one never was done. I've loved this movie since I was a kid. And I'm older now. I knew and God that I was born too drive a truck. This by far is the coolest truck. Outside of BJ & McKay. No shade too Snow Man or Stephen King's duel. All I can say is WoW!!! 😎😎😎😁😁😁

[@dp.oennismaurer205]

I thought the White Western Star had a 12V-71 in it with dual air cleaners and the throatier deeper sound. I might be wrong but it sounded more like a buzzin dozen to me in the movie.

[@Verystoic]

this movie had me shook about trucks as a kid, and seeing that goblin face on a truck just roaming around is a mix of terror and admiration.

[@jmo1145]

I was very young when I first saw a clip of this movie truck and it scared the heck outta me. (Dad didn’t let me see the bodies, but i got to see the trucks). I still get a chill when I see the movie. Love it, great work!

[@L1berty1776]

Its pretty freaking awesome. Seeing that goblin in the semi is pretty legit and slightly scary as it was the first truck movie i saw. And that shit scared the crap out of me when i was young

I'm a big fan because it was my first Stephen king movie I ever watched. The soundtrack for that movie is awesome, and that truck is amazing. That distinct Detroit sound on top of the green goblin face wrapped up in a toy truck what's not to love. Unless you're facing it as it's coming at you. Also, I wore out 6 VHS tapes untill I finally got a DVD.

I'm also a locomotive engineer so the whole railroad crossing scene was funny to me while she is screaming It also made me fall in love with ACDC and my folks had no issues with that id love a picture would be a part of my childhood. I still can't walk in front of a semi or my engines for thar matter without looking twice, lol Grammer be damned. I'm also a USN vet 06-13 even when I was working on a ship I was like imagine what that had been like on a ship
