King was told to either drastically alter or remove a scene in Maximum Overdrive, where a boy on the ballfield was run over by a steamroller, feet first, ending with his brains bursting out of the top of his head...They told him that the film would get an X rating, if he didn't comply...It STILL pisses him off...

Perhaps if he weren't so restrained whenever he tried to bring his books to the screen, his movies wouldn't be so bad...Just a thought
why worry about it midgets are the same size it wouldnt get any different rating if a midget was crushed by a steamroller
