5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie!! No Extras to Brag About!!, August 6, 2008

By	Throbbin' Hood "Carlin's Ghost" (Limbo) - See all my reviews

I loved this movie as a kid, and still love it now! Such a classic that deserves more extra junk than it's getting on the DVD treatment. I gotta admit, though: the new cover is an improvement over the abortion they used in the theaters and VHS cover, though I do miss the body hanging out of the grill as in an earlier version.

This was adapted and directd by my fave, Steve King. Though I'm not too crazy about the soundtrack (Who Made Who), the movie still holds up well today...despite it's cheese-factor.

Oh, and I loved the scene where the dork gets blasted in the eyes with gasoline, and then later gets his head squashed by the truck; dude should have stayed home that day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Maximum Over drive, May 29, 2007

By	Cremekat "An alien of some sort will be appea... (Idaho) - See all my reviews

If you like Cheesey movies this fits the bill. We bought this movie to go along with our Popcorn and Cheesy "supposed to be scary" movie night at home. We have added this one to "Night of the comet". If you are into that kind of thing, take the time to enjoy these two movies. It Seems that there are only two actors in Maximum OverDrive though that can be considered actors. One is Emlio Estevez and the other is the kid. It's wonderfully campy, while trucks take over the world you begin to wonder who would ever put that weird scary face on the front of a toy delivery truck. The newlyweds are a gas (a young Yardely Smith is wonderfully funny in this film). Enjoy making fun of this movie with a special appearance by Steven King in the beginning and the music of AC/DC to jazz it up a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stephen King Classic, August 4, 2007

By	Chuck the Moderator (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews

Although a budget film, is one of the better Stephen King transfers to film. Emilio Estevez is good in the role and Yardley Smith is a hoot. This completes my collection of the early King movies. Recommended for just some good (sometimes gory) fun.
