MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986)
Summerization: Machines turn on their human masters! Starring Emilio Estevez! Music by AC/DC! Directed by Stephen Goddamn King!
Why It's Fucking Awesome: Did you read the summeri? That's why.
It's got soda vending machine death, little leaguers under a bulldozer, electric carver attacks, arcade game death, machine gun death, multiple hit and squish, multiple exploding trucks, Emilio Estevez pumping gas under the hot sun until his hands blister and he can physically pump no more, a gallon of gas costs less than a dollar, remote control police car death, car window death, blow dryer death, it even has Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, as the newlywed Connie.
There's blood, there's explosions. There's Emilio with a rocket launcher aimed at a Green Goblin faced semi as AC/DC plays. Some how only the 'Master of Horror' Stephen King can create such an absolutely fun version of the apocalypse. Machines might have turned on us, and it might look like a horror movie somewhere, but at the Dixie Boy gas station, it's just rock and roll.
Quote: "[That's] what I was doing, until every machine in the world went into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE."
Best Time To Watch: Any afternoon that's hot and you've got at least a six pack.
Quality: 7 of 10 semis exploded.
