Fun Movie Friday–Maximum Overdrive

 Based on a Stephen King novel.  Emilio Estevez.  Murderous machines (how can a soda machine wreak havoc and death?).  All AC/DC soundtrack. Yes, Yeardly Smith’s voice is grating.  

A guilty pleasure movie because it’s so bad it’s good.  Yes, Stephen King sucks as a director.

I’m putting the whole thing under the fold because it’s really frickin’ violent.  You have been warned.



  1. The only thing that could save this POS work by King would to have been done on MST3K…………

  2. Matthew–I do my own version when watching it. It's a horrible movie but for some reason, I do watch it when it's on. Might be the soundtrack.

  5. How can a soda machine wreak havoc and death? By dispensing HFCS filled sodas to paying customers…same as it does when not infected by whatever has taken over the machines. Great soundtrack, not bad film. Steven King is a POS.
