[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

One of the best collabos yet! 🕶✌

[@TheHighestGood]

He's hilarious! Nice team-up.

[@ttuck9011]

When are u gonna do 1408 filming locations or the classic movie demons by David argento

[@aboutface7961]

You should both do a Toronto movie location colab special. Known to those in the biz as 'Hollywood North'. You have almost every decent Cronenberg movie, recent Del Toro movies, and 70s Horror classic 'Black Christmas'. + 80s stuff like Class of 1984, Cocktail, and Police Academy,,,,,,, etc and so forth. Plus very niche locations where Dan Ackroyd met John Belushi, and the Blues Brothers was essentially birthed, in Toronto.

[@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage]

@@Hunter-fs7ql I agree. @scott on film is awesome team up. I loved it. Thank you Adam

[@bridgetpalmer8097]

My brother was one of the ball players killed by a (foam) soda can which is up in the attic somewhere. My brother is now 47.. A few yrs after I became employed by the DeLaurentis Entertainment Group at 18 or 19 as a construction purchase driver til the layoffs of the late 80's. In 2013 filming started kicking up again and I became a background actor in yes, a Stephen king tv series Under the Dome, not much screen time til the 3rd season then I made it in at least 10 episodes. Loved this trip down memory lane, thank you!

[@jayhvac2435]

That awesome

[@Patt796]

my hat's off to you and your brother

[@theclaytonshow838]

Neat

[@Yanks6786]

That’s super cool!

[@art23428]

Find that hard to believe

[@colesgarage666]

I first saw this on cable tv in the late 90s when I was around 10. This movie introduced me to AC/DC, the 2 stroke Detroit Diesel V8 and air starters. I was certain this movie was Oscar material lol

[@darrells1435]

Loving this series Adam! Great job not deleting this one! Take Two!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you Darrell.

[@GregsVlog]

Yep, all he had to do this time is to not… delete… footage… lol

[@amybeth6456]

I was a little girl when this came out. It was filmed about 30 mins from my house. Everything looked so different back then. I'm so happy you did this!! I'm now a new subscriber! I came from Scott's channel. Great video! 💙💙

[@HorrorGenreLady]

I was six years old when this movie was made and my favorite part was Stephen Kings scene every time I see it I crack up laughing at the insanity of an atm calling someone a butthole

[@mikeandroid3512]

So crazy. I remember it when. I was a kid. I always loved the southern states.

[@jer479]

So amazing

[@art23428]

I doubt that's true

[@robmann7997]

Richard Chapman Jr.------I am the Nosepicking drawbridge operator in the opening scene....King was behind the camera rolling on the floor laughing at my "picking" My scene partner was very nervous and actually hit me in the jaw during the "we got a situation here". I asked Stephen if we could change it to a shove..........Also, the screaming pretty young lady in the car when the watermelon crashes thru window is Marla Maples ( future Mrs. Donald Trump number 2)

[@TheDailyWoo]

Oh wow this is great info

[@art23428]

Doubtful

[@CaptainColdyron222]

Me and my brothers used to rent Maximum Overdrive on VHS like every weekend when we were kids. We loved this movie so much. I recently purchased it on Amazon Prime Video and I swear I remembered every line of dialogue.

[@mbgrafix]

The thought just occurred to me Adam... Your camera is a machine...and you were doing a shoot about machines rebelling...and so, *your camera rebelled against you by getting you to delete your footage!*

[@shanedenny5234]

I remember being 14, having the newspaper standing out in my Grandmother's front yard looking through the paper, and noticed that Maximum Overdrive was playing at the drive in. My awesome Dad, anytime we would ask him to take us somewhere or if he were able to get something we wanted, he would do it for us. Thanks Dad!! Of course he took us to the drive in. I get the credit for asking him. 👍 My Dad holds a world record for brick laying btw. Just had to brag, haha, but hey!!, want to brag on you guys. Great coverage of one of my favorite films growing up at the drive in man. Thanks for taking me back. Sup Scott! 👍

[@hamsterhamm5194]

Thanks for this video guys, I grew up watching this film and still love it to this day, and low and behold I'm now a trucker 👌 🚛💨

[@helgabullabong]

Not seen this film in years, may have to have a rewatch. Its fascinating watching films years later that once terrified me. I appreciate that you went back to re film this. Cheers Adam

[@stephengomez6668]

One of my favorite movies growing up. I moved here from NJ 6 years ago and just ran into this. Its awesome that one of my all time faves was filmed here! I passed these locations alot and never even knew especially The Kicking Mule and 74/76 where the diner was.

[@brianmbaker57]

I wonder how high King was when he was informed the steering wheel of the steam roller was disconnected and bouncing when it ran through the fence? I am sure someone brought it up during filming. That's one of my favorite memories of the whole movie

[@RobertGlazier]

Hey Adam. I'm from Wilmington, N.C. I lived at Lake Village, near Greenfield Lake. I was 25 at the time of the filming of Maximum Overdrive. I went and saw the movie. Great video on this movie. Thanks Adam.

[@RP-tz6jv]

AC/DC!

[@JHGwjesusLuv]

I just checked and KZbin is playing Maxim Overdrive right at this moment so as soon as your volg is over I'm going to watch it!

[@GreenGoblinHead]

I own/ restored the original Green Goblin head from Maximum Overdrive!

[@OffRampAdventures]

We so felt for your SD card situation! We had to video a place twice after our SD card just blanked on its own! Loved your re-make!

[@adventuresintvland]

Take two! Nice. Glad to see things again. Looking forward to watching Scott’s take later.

[@NickP]

Lol.. Very cool how you guys linked up for a video.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It was a fun time !

[@SandraIsFalling]

This was my dads favorite movie. Thank you . I always love these.

[@Stacylynn929]

Never was a fan of KZbin, thought it was just a bunch of kids watching video games and beiber videos….but then somehow I stumbled upon sleepaway camp, and it was Woo obsession from there on out❤️ Thanks for the last decade ❤️❤️GOAT

[@LordCornholio31]

Nice revisit! I've been watching Maximum Overdrive ever since I was 4 yrs old, I live in VA and I'm not even far away to go see the places myself maybe 1 day I will!

[@lorenjackson8961]

I got to meet and hang out with Emilio Estevez and Laura Harrington during the filming of that movie. I was stationed at the old AFB in Myrtle Beach, SC at that time. My cousin was a Sheriff Deputy in Brunswick Co. NC where most of the filming was taking place. He was assigned to provide security for the film production company, so, he knew the schedule and most of the hangouts they were using. We ran into Estevez, Harrington and a few of the production crew at a local diner eating. I became the focus of attention when I drove up in my 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS (Magnum P.I.) car while they were eating. The car broke the ice and they asked about it. They were equally impressed to hear that an Air Force Airman...was able to own such a nice vehicle. I ended up hanging out with them on a few weekends while they were in town filming.

[@johnnymoran1177]

Thanks for the dedication in shooting this video again!

[@garfixit]

Ok i bought it in Blueray I'm glad you did another video on this. Thank you Adam

[@international_dave]

Great video Adam loved this. This Scott guy its as nuts as you lol. Keep 'em coming buddy !

[@Mr.Thrasha]

THIS ONE is going straight to my BEST OF THE WOO Playlist!! Curtis??? He dead??? This collab is incredible. Did you know AC/DC hated the song written for film, who made who. But King loved it! I like the tunes when the kid is riding the bike that Angus and Malcolm did ..instrumentals. R.I.P Malcolm Young!

[@MsForrest1]

On of my favorite movies ever since I watched it as a kid. My kids all love it too. You should contact Tim Shockey. He restored the Green Goblin head that was blown up in the film. He's a really cool guy and takes it on the road to lots of comicons.

[@billstrikesback]

Brilliant lads, you two have such great chemistry together, i hope to see more videos in the future! \m/

[@idahohello3885]

So glad you re-shot this one. One of my all time favorite movies

[@IDSnowman]

@IdahoHello Twin?

[@randybennett7643]

Amazing job guys thank u so much

[@Schenkerfan]

Awesome! This is my favorite movie!!

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

I don’t know how, but I KNOW this re-filmed video was much more interesting and funnier than the one that got deleted. Good job, Adam 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lams1013]

Another one of my absolute faves! This movie is so fun, gonna have to give it a rewatch soon! So glad you guys mentioned the soundtrack, also amazing! Obviously didn’t see the ‘original’ but, this was a fantastic redo video, Adam! 🚘⚡️🚙

[@stevesworldofwanders]

We absolutely have mailboxes 📬 like that in Canada 🇨🇦.

[@littlesthobo182]

I was thinking that too. They are rarer these days with places moving to community boxes but they exist. Scott is obviously a city boy.

[@dylangibbons8434]

And Action 🎬 ..... Thank you Mr Woo and for all that you do

[@jojojo6147]

Nice vlog Adam. Thank you

[@JamesOrtonVideo]

One of my favorites thanks! Safe travels brother

[@jeremyharris1547]

I am happy you got the extra areas in the video. This was higher power saying that they wanted you to get those in for posterity!! Will definitely check out Scott's channel.

[@909Adventures]

Lol I was laughing so hard when Scott pulled the mask off and the hear stood straight up 🤣

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Adam, thank you for redoing this video! Maximum Overdrive is one of my favorite horror films from the 80's.

[@andyrivenbark426]

thank you soooooooooo much for visiting my hometown and talking about my favorite horror film!!!!

[@kryptism]

Thanks Adam for this great film location document of Maximum Overdrive!👍

[@intertubicular]

This was awesome. Thank you guys for visiting the Maximum Overdrive filming locations. A maximum classic movie. OUTLANDERS!!!........Sorry wrong movie but I had to.

[@zebatrizon1]

I was so hyped for this one 🙌🏼 I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid (born in 94’)!

[@dericschryver2802]

I too was born in 1994 & I also enjoyed Maximum overdrive

[@JustKev57]

After I watched this vlog, Awesome! I then rented the movie on Prime. Fun interesting movie from the mind of Stephen King. Thanks ATW!

[@TampaJay]

That was great buddy. MO is one my all time faves. I had a feeling it might’ve been these locations after watching your video yesterday. So happy it panned out and even better. Very cool you found the, last climatic scene spot. Scott and the Halloween kills locations ha!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Ha I figured you’d catch that bridge location at the end

[@WanderIndiana]

Great video! Well worth the wait. You two look like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for being us along.

[@brandonzayres]

Great video! One of my favorite movies as a young teen. Nice to see the collaboration. Scott is awesome

[@virginiashroyer2279]

Love everything you video Adam! Thank you!

[@LeathsAtThePoint]

Wow thanks for reshooting all this again just to share with all of us love this movie .

[@zerobeforeone]

Seeing you two together warms my heart🥰

Great video - well done guys!

[@thewilfords4602]

This is So Awesome. 🤘🏼 I love that movie one of my all time favorite Cult Classics!

[@cappaofficial]

You guys are awesome for this 💯 Thank You!

[@sdawg3579]

Nice job, Adam! Glad you were able to give Max OD some love. 👍

[@kevinconaway1727]

" Curt, Curtis, is he dead" lol, shame you had to do it over Adam but it was well worth it, Thankyou Adam and Scott

[@sarakeith5480]

Twice is the charm!! Totally worth the wait!! Thank you Adam and Scott!! I have never watched that movie, I guess I will now!!

[@st2826]

Well done on not deleting it again Adam 😁 x

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you . That was not a fun experience

[@thebrunochaos]

the best remake ever made from that guy yealing falling from the bridge. Thanks for share this video. Hugs and best wishes from Brazil.

[@bennetfox]

My most favorite line from Yeardley Smith in that movie was at the very end when they were on the boat and she says, "Curtis I think I'm going to whoops my cookies!" 🤣🤣 Great job on the video! It was really cool seeing some of the places where that movie was filmed!

[@mk13902]

Outstanding video! Can’t wait to see Scott’s video too.

[@Katseye102]

You two are halarious! Love this!

[@davie941]

great video adam well worth the wait , very interesting , well done and thank you guys 😊

[@Chellees]

Awesome video!! Love your T-shirt!!❤️😊

[@jasonschannel1315]

@The Daily Woo awesome video man and my favorite movie as well. I own it on blu ray now the movie looks amazing on it but it's only in stereo compared to when it's on Dvd the sound quality is 5.1 surround sound so not sure why they down graded it though. But again you did a fantastic job on this video. Oh and if they didn't want nobody on the property how come there isn't any no trespassing signs anywhere around at all.

[@MovieMaster2008]

Good Morning Adam sorry about the footage loss yesterday, I've been backing up footage on a raid server hard drive, and the cloud from the phone too if you have an Apple device, as well as Android has Google Photos it automatically save them till space is filled or depending on storage bought. Keep up the great work! I'll Be Back!

[@edgufler1122]

Had to come back here and watch this one again because of the news article in the Wilmington StarNews. Very cool Adam

[@unspecifiedvee2876]

👍🏼 Worth it, Adam. 👍🏼

[@adamrenfrow]

Love your filming location video. Keep them coming.

[@thefrozenphotog6780]

It was worth the wait!

[@GregsVlog]

I can confidently say that it was totally worth it to film a 2nd time! The baseball field rule is odd, maybe you should have brought your glove and Rays hat. Poor Scott, go film the dang Halloween locations with him! Can’t wait to watch this in depth!

[@TheDailyWoo]

The baseball field is the oddest private property I’ve ever seen .

[@littlesthobo182]

@@daved6241 Have they never heard of signage?

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@zombie4414]

Maximum Overdrive is great. Just ordered it on Blu Ray.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Heck yes !

[@retroolschool]

Hey Adam, I have been enjoying your videos for quite some time, and this one really made me have to leave a comment, as I have watched Maximum Overdrive religiously for decades! Its as American as it gets, and too bad Stephen King and so many others hate this movie.. Keep it up man and thanks for your efforts! Regards from Montreal.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s a good one . Very quirky but I like it

[@NHSUKFan909]

Awesome video Adam..

[@chriskershaw1194]

I grew up in Wilmington and used to drive by the diner every day. love seeing these locations

[@disneymatt01]

Oohhhhhhhh 😳😳😳 I’d be Pissed too if I deleted this. Good thing you got to do it again. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@CrazyBurger]

Probably one of your best collabs yet, Scott was cool!

[@TSeaPusher]

Love it!

[@yodapappacards]

Thanks Adam i enjoyed this

[@chris4195]

I really enjoyed this. You two were hilarious and did a great job representing the task of giving the tour of filming locations. This was the best outline I've seen. So great to see the spots used in 2022. Some things look the same while others naturally evolved over time into other uses. I was always intrigued with this movie. It was one of the craziest films I've seen. I think the 80s just enhanced the cheesy tone of it. The cast was unique. I would have loved to see more behind the scenes footage and pictures other than what was shown on the Blu-Ray release. Wilmington seems pretty much the same as it was in the 80s. Very open and laid back. Evidence of that is how little has changed. I like that neighborhood. It is called Princess Place. The Kenwood/Shirley intersection stands out. Deke the kid who rode his bike rode down the street in the first neighborhood shot. Then went across the main road to the other end of Kenwood where the dead people were. After he saw the girl in the window it was implied he was at the end of the road and went through the path back to the Shirley/Kenwood intersection, but that wooded area behind the arrow sign was just woods that led to warehouses. I always wondered how that scene was shot having the residents work and live around the filming. The house Deke hides at with the lawnmower changed significantly. It had been for sale a few years back and I viewed interior photos. It's a nice house and you can kind of imagine looking out the picture window the ice cream truck going by. I discovered this movie 17 or 18 years ago but didn't get into it when it was on again in November 2006. I followed the actress who played Wanda June to her other movies and shows and discovered some great series. Of course Yeardley Smith stole the show as Connie. "Curtis, are you dead" is a line used often in my house.

[@chadwhite2931]

"Curtis! Don't you make me a widow on my wedding day, Curtis!"

[@MrFonseca75]

Loved all of this

[@Kenwood1990]

I toured the studio back in the 1990s we saw the Dawson’s creek set .It was very exciting to tour .

This is an awesome video! I loved Maximum Overdrive!

I love , love , y’all guys collaboration !

[@lauriemcewen7156]

Adam this is so funny. You were in my hometown for the Max Overdrive video. You were near my current home earlier in the week near Liberty n.c. Missed my brush with you tube greatness TWICE! Drats!!! Truckers from out of town used to mistake the fake truck stop in the movie for a real one. They finally had to put signs up. lol....Those were the days of my youth. Thanks Adam.

[@joshmorgan838]

So weird about the security guard. My wife and I were down Wilmington about 3-4 years ago and we took a ton of pics on the film locations especially from the baseball diamond, lined up a lot of the shots. Great video, keep up the good work!

[@shawnwright745]

[@walthartman1836]

Worth the wait!

Nice to see you had better luck with your video this time and it did not erase from existence , chilling now with a nice caffinated beverage. Been following Scott on Tape for awhile, not as long as your channel though been following you for many many years lol.

Thanks for sharing this interesting series of reviews. Two Thumbz 👍👍

Great vid. From about 18:04 to 20:10 there's probably a bunch of people looking out the windows saying "What the frack are those guys doing out there?" 😁
