Maximum Overdrive
 

My buddies and I watched it a few days ago for the 1st time in years.....soda machine killing little leaguers, ice cream trucks trying to run over kids... classic.. any one else seen this gem?

Yah, I think it's a piece of garbage. The supposed humor is all so obvious and overdone.

Elvis will be in here soon though to rave about how great it is. It's his favorite film or something.

I saw it a few years ago. It wasn't bad at the time, i'm not sure if i would like it now.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I remeber it being awesome because it was so bad. Trucks holding people up for gas, you just can't be expected to take that seriously.

I took it for what it was and enjoyed it.

Perfectly watchable.

stephen king tried to direct -learned to stay behind the typewriter with this clunker.

but the soundtrack is AWESOME! the little riff pieces that angus and malcolm young pulled together are perfect driving music and the rest is classic ac/dc tunes. and who made who is an ac/dc classic now!

Is this the one where they are all at the service station ?

There were a bunch of accidents when they made that film. One of the remote controlled machines actually injured a member of the crew, I think he lost an eye or something.

It is a piece of trash yes, but entertaining trash.

I loved this movie in the 80's and still do today. Awesome flick

Depends on how low your standards are, I guess.

Not my favorite but yes I do dig this one. Great fun and as Zero mentioned it has a great soundtrack.

I've got the flick Trucks too that I haven't got round to watching yet.

The movie has a score by AC/DC...if you are expecting something that is trying to be sophisticated in any way, you won't find it here. If you like trashy, cheeseball movies, it can be fun. I saw it in the theatres (this definitely helped) and I enjoyed it.

I didn't "expect" anything hen I saw it- I had no idea what it would be. I did, however, find it appallingly bad as a comedy. Obvious, overdone and poorly executed.
