This movie terrified me as a kid. I grew up working for my dad’s seafood company, so I was constantly surrounded by trucks and heavy machinery. The one memory that I will never forget is when I saw a forklift “move” on its own. I had already seen “Maximum Overdrive” at the time, so it was somewhat fresh on my mind. What I didn’t see was my dad getting on the forklift and turning it on. I was little at the time, so I could barely see above the window in our office. The top portion of the forklift was the only visible thing from my viewpoint. I realized it was just my dad driving as he drove away from the office. Crisis averted!

@filmbuff27773 жыл бұрын
@@kamandi1362 Damn right. He knows NOTHING about cinema. In The Outsider, he resorted to bashing Kubrick yet again, & not only did he bash The Shining, but Barry Lyndon as well. He had one character watching Paths of Glory & says its much better than The Shining & Barry Lyndon because younger directors take more risks. To even suggest either of these films as riskless is ignorant, & King is being immensely petty by continuing to bash him. Barry Lyndon is of course most famous for the candle light sequences & the 50mm F0.7 Zeiss lens from NASA that he used to shoot these scenes. Using an extremely fast lens such as this really reduces the depth of field, which leaves so many things blurry. With a lot of these candle light scenes featuring a lot of people in them, Kubrick had to have the camera & actors positioned exact to get them in focus. To say this was lazy like King claims shows how ignorant he is on filmmaking as an artistic medium. Since King claims that what Kubrick did with Barry Lyndon requried zero effort at all, then I want him to remake The Shining again, but direct it himself this time. Don't get that hack Mick Garris to do it, & since TV has much more freedom than it did when he made his awful miniseries (which he claims is better than Kubrick's film in every way), so he could get all the violence & profanity it would need. I would also want him to use this EXACT same lens for ALL low light sequences, because since King thinks it is so easy to shoot with an extremely fast lens in low light, then surely being the "great cinematic genius" that he is should be able to blow everyone away? But, he won't do it because he is all talk. I usually hate the "well see if you can do better" excuse to defend things, but since King keeps bashing Kubrick non stop, thinks he is the true authority on what is quality cinema, & his new bashing of Barry Lyndon, it just goes to show how clueless he is & that he should put his money where his mouth is or shut up. He is a great writer, but knows nothing about film & needs to stop whining about Kubrick. He doesn't hold the idiots that made The Lawnmower Man to the same standard, & he is more than happy to receive royalties off Kubrick's film & was happy to have the Dr. Sleep movie be connected to the Kubrick film. He is a hypocrite.

This is one of those concepts that actually begs for the remake treatment since machines and electronics have only been engrained in our lives more and more since then. This movie is almost great, just that some of the characters need to be toned down drastically. Mainly Hendershot and Yeardley Smith's character. Otherwise, for being directed by an author there are some impressive scenes (Like the opening bridge sequence) and you get just enough glimpses of the outside world to get the sense that it really is an apocalypse brought on by machines.

Unfortunately this left me with no money to offer them to try and buy their copy of Mad Max. the reason I was so gutted not to get their copy of Mad Max is because it was the orginal U.S. release with totally different voices dubbed over the Australian cast. It sounded so strange to hear American actors in place of the Australian voices I knew so well having seen the film many times before. Certainly would have been an obscure one for the collection.

I'm sick of Steven King complaining about how he is disappointed by the movie adaptations of his books/screenplays. King signs the contracts turning over creative controls to the producers and directors for an agreed upon monetary amount. He then takes the check and cashes it. At any point of this he could change the provisions of the contract demanding the book's flow be maintained and he has approval of the final product. I could understand how he could cry about it with his first few books converted into movies/TV series, but that was 40 years ago. He should have learned his lesson by now. If you don't want someone who didn't write your books to butcher an adaptation, don't sign over the creative rights after the first offer of an amount is shown to you. You've raked in millions selling your stories to others, stop whining about getting burned every time it happens. The crocodile tears thing has gotten old over the decades.

Honestly, I like Maximum Overdrive for the same reason I like other 80's movies like Tango & Cash, Road House, or Showdown in Little Tokyo. It's just an enjoyably fun, tongue and cheek B movie that deserves a lot more love. Screw the critics! Plus I wonder how Stephen King would feel now that Maximum Overdrive has achieved cult status and has a fan base. Also I think King had something to do with getting the Ramones to write a song for Pet Sematary too.

The part I don't understand with this movie is how the M60 machine gun could fire on its own It doesn't have an engine, it doesn't have a motor, all of the other machines that come to life do It has to be loaded with either a 100 or 250 round belt, cocked and the trigger has to be pulled back and it has no way to do that on its own It would be as if a screwdriver tried to kill you

Love this movie but I’ve always laughed at the re-loading of the rocket launcher, which wasn’t possible as it’s a single missal firing weapon, and the M-60 which has absolutely no electronic element to it but fires anyways. Still enjoyable tho
@Camthur13 жыл бұрын
I really like Maximum Overdrive. Steven King may consider it awful, but it's a fun movie to watch and the storyline is impressively coherent considering the subject matter, his inexperience and his mental state at the time. There are serious movie makers who make confusing and boring trash compared to that goofy killer machines movie he hates. Also, the soundtrack freaking rocks and we wouldn't have Who Made Who without that movie.
@ericfenton29173 жыл бұрын
In case no one mentioned it yet, I believe a tv movie called Duel is (a 1971 American action thriller film written by Richard Matheson, which is based on his own 1971 short story) helped inspire King's story/movie.

Now a days we remind him of that time and he always curses at Chucky and the truck movie and says he can recite the Batman movie from start to finish. HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! Lmao

By the way, I wonder if you have mentioned it, but the premise is of course not limited to trucks, but encompasses all machines, as an effect of a comet's dust tail. That explains for example the beginning with the ATM... But trucks are chosen as the ultimate machines, sort of, and are of course the reason for this whole idea.
