When asked why he hasn't directed a movie since this one, Stephen King responded, "Just watch Maximum Overdrive." At least he's honest.

[@chartreux1532]

He should have done more Movies, at least while he was in this Phase of his Life and completely unhinged and yes, on Drugs (which i don't support but it was normal) The Reason why most 1980s Slashers, Horror, Action and ever other Genres of Movies are so much more entertaining and crazy is simply because of Cocaine. That's the only Reason Over here in Europe all the German (including Werner Herzog), Italian, French, English and Spanish Directors and Writers etc. are all and always have been very open about this and still are. It was just a simple Fact and widely accepted instead of pretending it's just a Rumor like it's still treated in the USA. Now that is not a positive Thing but it definitely ended up with some of the most rewatchable, creative and entertaining Movies ever, especially looking at Italian Horror and Slasher Movies which are still way too underrated in the USA in my Opinion Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@nickrustyson8124]

That's to me isn't a good answer because Maximum Overdrive is a pretty good popcorn flick, like go watch the 1997 movie Trucks, now that movie is boring, take all of the fun out of Maximum Overdrive and you have Trucks

[@sharebear421]

This movie rules though

King is brutally honest about himself and really doesn't take himself seriously; which I love for the most popular and successful author of the past 50 years.

So, as a Southerner, "Bubba" is short for "brother". In England, you might say "bruv", but it's similar. His legal name is most likely not "Bubba", but it's what the town might know him as.

[@trouty606]

10:19 The steamroller scene was almost even more intense. The prop head for the kid that gets run over actually fucking EXPLODES from the pressure, and the effect was so bloody and gory they had to cut it from the movie so the MPAA would actually certify the film.

[@Enbi_bitch2]

From my knowledge a certain famous guy in the horror genre told King to cut it because it was so graphic it made him puke What was that guy's name you ask, George A. Romero, this was made after dawn of dead btw

man, these are some of my favorite types of kill counts. Older films which are just pure schlock and silliness

[@danwilliams2551]

While Midsommar gave the most accurate depiction of a mushroom trip I've seen, this movie gives me the best depiction of what it's like to be high on cocaine...but like, not a scene in the movie. The entire vibe of the movie itself. This is like the "Dude, what if-" movie that we come up with while smoking and drinking and whatnot with friends in college, but existing as evidence of what would happen if someone listened to our script ideas lol

[@XavierLorenzo-qi8iy]

A fact you forgot to mention: The ice cream truck was supposed to do multiple rollovers, but the special effects to make it roll didn’t fire correctly, causing the truck to land on its roof & slide for a bit, nearly hitting & killing the camera operator

[@maxx115]

Damn, crazy fact. Cool to know tho

[@XavierLorenzo-qi8iy]

@@maxx115 yeah. I only recently found it out after all these years

[@briankaslewicz6130]

Congrats to the Dead Meat team on a successful 2024 going on 25, and to James for finally pronouncing "Giancarlo Esposito" correctly after saying it wrong in the MaXXXine Kill Count.

[@DeadMeat]

I learned!

So I've been pronouncing it wrong this entire time? It's not pronounced "eh-spo-SEE-toh"?

26:50 bro turned into Beetlejuice

[@eashanpatel1799]

It passed through! Studios need to learn that you're essentially promoting their films and they're preventing them from being known by copywriting and gatekeeping them, then not releasing them themselves.

James throwing shade at nitpicking gun nerds gives me much joy.

11:09 NOT THE CURTIS COUNT JAMES AAAA

[@kilam8489]

One “Curtis” every 4 minutes. 😧 that’s unnecessary

[@Chrisr510]

The green goblin truck is iconic. Just imagine seeing that in your rearview mirror

[@dennisflood7246]

The green goblin face is the first thing I always think of when this movie is brought up.

[@slowmotion171]

hell of year. amazing job everyone. so proud to be a longtime viewer, you guys are the best.

[@Mimikyu_Lov3r]

“The Curtis Count” damn it James 😂 James (and/or Dead Meat crew) if you happen to read this please do more funny bits like that in future Kill Counts, cuz that was hilarious 😂

[@gordoreygar4430]

"This machine just called me an asshole!"

[@smileysatanson3404]

Love how James just casually tells us that he's buddy with a member of INK

[@Levleup]

He’s been in several INK music videos and had Spencer appear in a couple to the numbers bits as well!

[@nil_95]

[@CoreyOConnor2012]
