They say it’s impossible to intentionally make a “good-bad” movie. That they only happen by accident. Maximum Overdrive says nope. The cast and crew put their back into making what they knew was a bad movie. And, against all odds, it rocks from the first scene out. Any movie that shows someone getting murdered by a rogue soda machine is marked for great things.
Maximum Overdrive, a disco dust fueled joyride by Stephen King. the AC/DC soundtrack was cool, the killer soda machine was priceless and it's over the top nature. plus it has the Green Goblin i wish was No Way Home 😂
All they had to do was put green paint on Dafoe face and a prosthetic nose bam green goblin. By the way was that AC/DC music in that teaser or John Carpenter music from Halloween 3 season of the witch.
@@hamhockbeans that was most definitely the Halloween 3:season of the witch music in the Maximum Overdrive trailer. Willem Defoe with slight make-up would've been cool for the goblin.
The thing is that Stephen King can come out with the basic premise and layout, but don't ask him to put it on the big screen and write the script. The man was not happy with Kubrick's The Shinning but was happy with the Sci-Fi channel's version which was closer to his original version (if you are looking for a bad movie to review next, there you go). That should tell you everything.
His script writing are sometimes hit and miss, but I loved his teleplay of Storm of the Century. And he did write what was the best episode of the entire The Stand (2020), despite the miniseries' quality.
That's because he wrote the teleplay for The Shining miniseries himself. It's not that surprising when u consider he had more creative control and was allowed to write the script himself.
When I was little I thought of this movie like a halfway transformers. With evil decepticons killing people, but never transformed. A transformer horror movie would be dope.
I'm glad that Stephen has abandoned that "magical negro" nonsense and had the introspective skills to do so. That archetype was WAY too prevalent in his work. Maximum Overdrive is similar to Showgirls or Tough Guys Don't Dance in that it's so bad it's great.
I feel like Stephen King *did* do the Hunger Games before the Hunger Games was a thing - it was called The Long Walk and it took place in a dystopian future where young men volunteered to take a nonstop walk from I think from Maine to Boston? The first one to cross the finish line could ask the despotic administration for anything they wanted, but it was clear most of the participants died along the way and it was treated as entertainment by the rest of the nation. Pretty sure it was one of the Bachman books.
I've loved this movie since I was 9 yrs old so I was a bit offended at first, but realized this movie has A LOT of problems. I tend to give this movie a lot of slack lol. As a kid it was actually pretty scary, and as I grew older, all the trivia surrounding Stephen King made it a lot of fun. If you've ever read Stephen King, you know the man is completely insane (in the best way possible). I wouldn't expect anything less from a movie directed by him during his alcohol and drug fuelled days of excess.
Yeah. It think its even ok to like bad movies if you're older. As long as you're aware of its flaws or why others would dislike it. Kung Pow: Enter The fist and Nacho Libre are two that I like but I'm well aware that they're not universally liked :P
@@Smokey1419 I remember all those films in the 80s..lol I also liked that wacky comedy movie starring Adam West did also called "Doing Time on Planet Earth"
When the soda can hit the coach in the head, there was a longer sequence where his head swells there for a second then bursts as a brain hemorrage then explodes . The MPAA deemed it too violent for a Uniersal production, as well as producer Dino Delaurentis....
Is that in the deleted scenes? First I've heard of that. Also, given what made it into the movie, it's weird that's the hill the MPAA decided to die on. Lol

This is definitely one of my guilty pleasure movies. It’s legit much better than most people give it credit for. Definitely works best if you view it as a black comedy rather than a straight up horror movie.
It is an amazing movie and you can tell the actors had a lot of fun on the movie because they are putting in actual good work the kind that comes from real enjoyment in a project and everybody works so well together in the cast.
Knowing that Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from Breaking Bad) was in this movie as the guy in the arcade that gets electrocuted always makes me giggle a little bit. At the end, it says that a UFO was shot down by a "Russian weather satellite", I believe; giving a reason for why the machines gained sentience.
I never notice John Carpenters' score from Halloween III: Season Of The Witch, in the trailer for this movie until now. Plus this is a huge guilty pleasure of mine that I love.
This movie rocks! It has potentially worse scenes in most 1980s movies but it gain a MAJOR cult following to this very day. Stephen King is the king of horror and thriller books.
I watched the TV adaption of trucks before I saw this. Both were bad in diffrent ways, but had their postives. Christine, Duel, killdozer and death proof i found more enjoyable. The Pentaverate is something you guys should check out mainly because of one particular unexpected cameo.
I really love this episode! I also love you guys' "Cokehead King" schitck, its brilliant and I love how it carries over every episode you've done about Stephen King. Classic commentary/podcast. 31:30 Martin says that King is pissed he didnt do the Hunger games but he did. Writing as Richard Bachman he wrote the story, 'The Long Walk' about a nationwide marathon walk with a 100 kids walking to the death. Totalian government and everything. A really good book and one of the very few YET to be adapted to film. So, in a way, King is like I did that already and I did it better.
You guys have the single most thoughtful, sincere and hilarious podcast I have ever come across. The three of you seem like you would some of the funnest people one could ever possibly hang out with. Come to Richmond, va you would absolutely kill it here.
The next bad Stephen King movie you should watch is Lawnmower Man. It’s so bad that Stephen King actually wanted his name off of it. And considering all the other movies that says a lot
Surprised u guys didn't mention the first time the waitress went outside and yelled "You can't! We made you!" The way she moved was fucking hysterical 🤣 🤣🤣
Wait...that isn't the ending I remember. The one I remember ends with the dude being rescued by a helicopter, going to the cockpit to thank the pilot and seeing in horror that land vehicles aren't the only things being taken over. Freeze frame on his horrified face, roll credits. Was that another cut, or did they go back and do a movie that was a DIRECT adaptation of the short story Maximum Overdrive was based on?
There's a hilarious blacklisted film script floating around online called "maximum king" that's all about King's raging coke habit while he's filming Maximum Overdrive. Sadly, I'm sure Stephen will never sign off on it, and it will never get made.
Here's a little treat for the fans of this movie. As we speak there's a guy who is currently making a full size replica of the Green Goblin truck and takes it to truck shows
Here for the laughs back in the old days we would have comment. Wars over who was 1st to comment. Things have changed Stephen Kings cameos shows he is the life of the party. And yes all Stephen king black characters are racist stereotypes.
I don't get the hate this movie gets, "One of the worst Stephen King films". It's a fun movie, hell, AC/DC is playing in the background, so you know you're going to have a good time. Let's not forget the memorable trailer, it's awesome even though it comes off as a serious horror movie instead of a fun popcorn movie. Plus they used the Halloween 3 soundtrack which was a weird choice, it should have been AC/DC. I can't believe King regrets it, "oh no I didn't know what I was doing". No no no, you knew exactly what you were doing. The opening scene with his cameo and the AC/DC music were enough to give you a clue that hey let's have some fun. You get to see Gus from Breaking Bad having fun in the arcade section. If you want a lame version, watch Trucks.
Doesn't Stephen King claim he doesn't remember writing most of IT? lol imagine not remembering one of your most famous works. Presumably that's why it's 1000+ pages long.
Yep lol when Bill Hader met him and admitted he didn't re read the book after he got the part of Richie, King told him that was find cuz he was on so much coke he doesn't remember writing it 😅
20:57 Oh shit that was a young Giancarlo esposito! All the time i never that! Frickin Moff Gideon was in the classic Maximum Overdrive that's just awesome 😁
Stephen King has admitted in an interview that he doesn't know how to write black characters. He said he just doesn't have a lot of experience or relationships with black people.
This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. It's not even a bad movie at all it just isn't setting out to be something serious it wanted to be fun horror/action shlock and it succeeded in all the best ways. Its got that perfect amount of cheesiness and the right amount of the actors having fun so they want to show up and act and the right amount of explosions and unique kills.
The part where he gets knocked out of his shoes had me bust out laughing at work! I love Double Toasted roast reviews. Hope they consider reviewing Just One of The Guys, Last Action Hero, No Retreat No Surrender 1, Revenge of the Ninja, and/or Sleepaway Camp 2 Happy Campers.

Looks like Nemesis Prime got a face lift inspired by the Green Goblin.
