Monday Movie [Parte 2]

Maximum Overdrive (1986) /dir. Stephen King

Awesomely done piece of genre trash with an AC/DC soundtrack and Emilio Estevez. Sole directorial effort from Stephen King based on his short story "Trucks", where machines go haywire when an comet from hell passes too close to Earth. The action revolves around the Dixie Boy truck stop outside Wilmington, North Carolina and the hapless people trapped there by a gang of killer big-rigs. Did I mention the AC/DC? (Cock rock and evil machines... check.) Best summed up by three gonzo lines and what prompted them.

Jukebox explodes...
"The whole goddamn world's goin' tits up"

Automated arcade...
"Yo mama!"

In comet dust tail, truck drives itself...
"They can't do that.... we made you! Weeeee maaaaade yooouuuuuuu!!!!!"

Watch these previews and treat yourself to a copy.
