A terrifyingly Twilight Zone'd diorama of gruesomely mechanized slaughter!

Trucking Hell!!! Celebrated Horror scrivener, Stephen King's turbocharged road-wrecking creepshow 'Maximum Overdrive' is still the Mack Daddy of calamitous Truck Stop carnage! These bloodthirsty, high-octane, devil-possessed, diesel drinking death machines are Hell on Wheels, all enacting one unified apocalyptic plan, for sinister reasons entirely alien, these wide load, wantonly reckless, wrecking ball behemoths are ghoulishly geared up to massacre all mankind! All brakes are off! As 80s cult classic 'Maximum Overdrive' is grandiose vehicular manslaughter on a biblical scale, a comet-induced Carmageddon, it's the end of days on the sun-soaked, gore-caked highways! Buckle up B-Horror freaks! Stephen King is about to take you on an pedal to the mental, adrenaline-fuelled, full throttled terror trip into a terrifyingly Twilight Zone'd diorama of gruesomely mechanized slaughter!

A guilty pleasure.

Oh, how I wished I hated this movie. However, I don't...I actually enjoy this movie a lot. All the critics hate it, most people I talk to hate it, but I like it. Maybe it is the cool AC/DC soundtrack...I don't know. The action is pretty good and there are some pretty good kills in this one, though it isn't anything that is very scary at all. A couple of the scenes are annoying, but for the most part I enjoy this take on the King short story "Trucks". This one has the machines of the world suddenly turning on humans, though in the end it is mainly trucks that are featured. Survivors at a gas station are stranded there as the trucks circle the facility. They have to find a way out or else. This isn't a movie that is worthy of awards or something, but I think it is a fun movie to watch.

HOORAH, STEAM ROLLER!!!!

Get sick of movies with intricate plots, outstanding acting, and multiple Academy Award nominations? Then go grab Maximum Overdrive! 90 minutes of mindless truck attacks, rocket launchers and A STEAM ROLLER RUNNING OVER A LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER!!! Now, most readers are probably thinking that this is a pretty sick review, but keep in mind that this is A MOVIE. Not real life. Even with all of this in mind, I think it is fair to say that Stephen King did a fair job with the directing. It's by no means fantastic, but it is far better done than most Cult Classic, B-flicks. Happy watching!

"I ain't never seen a hero with his ass in the air like that."

Stephen King wrote and directed this much-maligned film adaptation of his short story "Trucks." The plot has Earth passing through the tail of a comet, which somehow causes all the machines on Earth to come to life with murderous intentions. A group of people find themselves trapped in a truck stop surrounded by semi-trucks and other vehicles. The trucks, led by one with a huge Green Goblin face on the front, wait for the humans to leave the truck stop so they can kill them one by one.

This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures from the '80s. It's a ludicrous popcorn movie with an awesome soundtrack by AC/DC and a cast that includes Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Frankie Faison, Laura Harrington, and Yeardley Smith. Stephen King appears in a funny cameo at the beginning. This movie was HATED at the time and remains hated today, at least by stuffy film snob types. It's a fun movie! Not everything has to be high art. For people who are fans of silly and cheesy movies, this is right up your alley. Auto nuts might also like it for all the different old vehicles on display. Ignore the critics and give it a shot.

It ain't -Citizen Kane- . . .

. . . but it's fun. I'm kind of shocked at all of the bad reviews I've seen here, what'd they expect?

No-one is going to confuse Stephen King with Stanley Kubrick, but I give King credit that he targeted a nice, easily-digestible short story as the basis for a movie (versus the more 'standard' 600-plus-page King epic that most other directors go for). The end result is just a fun movie for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

There are many deleted scenes from the film that are mentioned throughout literature and seen in photo stills from the film. Stephen King has mentioned on several occasions that the film was heavily cut to avoid an X rating from the MPAA. King has also spoken of showing the uncut version to fellow horror director George Romero and was quoted as saying that it made Mr. Romero sick. The removed shots were:
Three Seconds of Bubba Hendershot getting shot up by the military vehicle in the Dixie-Boy Truck Stop shoot out scene.
Three seconds of the steam roller running over Bobby.
Three seconds of the bible salesman's face falling into his lap.
-Few seconds of the Man At Bank ATM (Stephen King) greeting a few passer-byes just before sticking his bank card in the machine slot.
Few Seconds of the motorcyclist throwing his arms over his face, exactly shown in the film-trailer, just before plunging into the water.
Additional seconds of Steve Gayton at Duncan's aid after getting sprayed by diesel-fuel in the eyes.
Six seconds of the electrical cutting knife slicing off Frank's right index finger.
Three seconds of the ill-fated video-player saying "Wooow!" just before getting zapped, as shown in the theatrical-trailer.
Few seconds of the pop can leaving an imprint on the Coach's forehead that expands into a huge bladder on his forehead and spraying blood.
Few seconds of the Coach's forehead-bladder popping.
Additional seconds of the Coach warning Deke to get away just before he dies.
Additional seconds of the steamroller riding through a nearby parking lot and Bobby's father getting squashed by it.
A shot of a half of a chewed up body by the lawnmower in a backyard.
An additional shot of the dead gas station attendant at the gas station.
As Deke comes riding along on his bike, he comes to a stop. We can see a full back view of a car off in the distance on the right side of the road. As the Ice Cream Truck comes, we can still see it.
We see a dead ice cream man in the ice cream truck.
The Videoplayer escapes the Dixie-Boy unseen and hides in the drainage ditch
Another guy hides in the drainage ditch.
Additional seconds of the bible salesman getting attacked by the Videoplayer and his buddy who attempts to cut off his face with a straight razor. But the two run unseen off with his knife because the bible salesman screamed.
A few seconds of the bible salesman's noggin pealing down revealing his blooded skull as he rises up in the drainage ditch.
As Brad runs to a nearby car with the dead woman, we can see a full back view of a school bus on the left side of the dirt road. And when Brad screams as he is about to die from the HappyToyz truck, we can still see the bus.
The last close-up of the Happy-Toyz truck's GreenGoblin face is re-flipped, exactly shown in the theatrical trailer, instead of the "backwords-flipped" view. There are reports of a mat-painting of a infamous American city destroyed by the machines. There are reports that in a international version, Hendershot, and truckers Harry and Frank are among the survivors; leaving only trucker Rolf and waitress Wanda June as the casualties of the sentient gun-jeep. Reports also indicate that Duncan Keller is a survivor as well. There was a rumour about a supposed uncut VHS tape having been released by Lorimar in the early '90s but this is false. The uncut version has never been released on any format, in any country. This was a false rumor started on the Internet. Only Stephen King holds the original print of the uncut version and as of 2013, has not released it in any format.
