He's doing the quiet southern man menacing whisper. Pretty soon he'll start talking about throwing 'em to the crocodiles. #Monsterdon

I am INTO this movie. Gas station owner's got a bazooka? Why the FUCK not?
-sniff-
Anybody got more coke?
#Monsterdon

Ok, what is it with fucking 80s movies and not having conversation loud enough to be audible?

#Monsterdon

@Terencio awwww yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

#Monsterdon

The NC tycoon boss with a secret hoard of weapons is the most realistic thing in this movie #Monsterdon

Just don't talk to people when they're having as shit, ffs....

#Monsterdon

I know it's not at all the point but M72's are shoulder fired and not at all reloadable

#monsterdon

He needed to get a better smell I guess.

"What gets me is the stupidity"..."Froze like a rabbit".

There ya go--an actor critiquing the film he's in.

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

"Jesus Christ Palomino"???

Oh Curtis, you should have listened to your wife!

#RookieMistake #Monsterdon

obligatory King pissing scene #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Reload Me... Boy… *stares at checklist* ;)

@randy_s Getting close!

#Monsterdon

How do we know toilets aren't effected?

Those fancy Japanese ones would be...

#Monsterdon

Jesus Christ Palomina, the holiest of horses

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Is this foley really necessary #monsterdon

Really grateful they included all the [flatulence] in the subtitles. I couldn't hear it over my air conditioner. #monsterdon

what is it with stephen king and bathrooms #monsterdon

Ah all the fart noises while he poops.

Good call Mr King

🚚 TRIVIA OVERDRIVE 🚚💥

That great Green Goblin truck amazingly was not snatched up by a collector. It was taken to Silent Rick's Towing and Salvage in Wilmington. It was bought and sold a couple of times then was displayed in Uncle Jim's Videoland, in Waverly, Ohio.

After 20 years Videoland owner Tim Shockey started restoring it. Eventually traveling across the US and Canada, taking it to horror and comic cons.

#MaximumOverdrive

Ok, so... I think the trailer trucks can rebel against humanity, but actual cars can't. I think we finally found something consistent.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon ok we don’t have to keep hearing his body noises

OK, now this part is just mean, reminding Emilio Estevez that his father was in a WAY better movie.

#Monsterdon

the arsenal!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wagner was metal before it was cool. Ugh. I hate myself for saying that.

#Monsterdon Was that a nod to Hitchcock?

The official anthem of planes running people down is Ride of the Valkyries

#Monsterdon

"What is going on?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!!"
Our movie folks.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Ride of the Valkyries?

The sentient machines like WAGNER????

This truly is a horror flick #Monsterdon

Calling the rocket launcher from the basement a Secret Stash for BINGO #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon air power :D

De plane! De plane!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@70sgayspaceangel i always love people’s amazing comments picking at these things. I think it was Samuel Taylor Coleridge who coined the term ‘willing suspension of disbelief.’ He would have loved this movie no doubt #Monsterdon

Bingo!

#Monsterdon

I eat my hat #monsterdon

@hollie I suppose that's #Monsterdon in a nutshell

I assume "Music by ACDC" includes the Wagner.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

unexpected but welcome advocacy of consent from Emilio Estevez

#Monsterdon

so far this is really the definition of 'not a good movie but a fun movie'

#monsterdon

#monsterdon kiww the wabbit, kiww the wabbit

Uh oh! Here come the Valkyries

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Oh _that_ was a nap, catching up at 1.23x speed for the last several, just up to Lisa Simpson and her hew husband meet the tow truck from hell now.

they are not literally playing the ride of the valkyries right now. #monsterdon

Did ACDC play the Wagner?? Tell me it's true.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

literally every scene of this movie is stephen king going, "y'know what'd be funny?"

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Oh hey, consent asked for

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Okay. Flight of the Valkyries. I laughed. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

See, this is a prequel to PIxar's Planes too #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

He’s so TIIIIIINY!

#Monsterdon

I mean the guy looks like he never learned how to shave, guess he wouldn't know how a razor works
#monsterdon

Honestly, Curtis was doing a damn fine job trying to evade a killer truck. Dunno why you'd think he shouldn't be driving.

Bit confusing why some cars are fully possessed and some are docile but shhhhhhhhhhhhh, snort some more coke.
#Monsterdon

Toilet paper explosion was not on my bingo card #Monsterdon

Do they have a bazooka? #Monsterdon

i think emilio needs a class on how to hug. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Finally - the titular line!

So when does the truck say "It's Maximum Overdriving time!"
#monsterdon

zero complaints about this movie so far. I've seen it before ages ago and read the book but don't remember much. going great 🚚

#Monsterdon

Hell yeah Curtis! They are both amazing drivers. I wonder if they are the real parents of Ricky Bobby?

#Monsterdon

Fakest “I’m scared” ever #Monsterdon

it's more like [slicing motion], y'goddam moron

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon is a hidden flick knife/razor a “Secret Stash”?

Movie Name Drop! #Monsterdon

"A well-armed truck stop, being necessary to the security of a free State, yadda yadda yadda"

#Monsterdon

i was just thinking the funniest line would be if she screamed “hey you’re not curtis” and then she did #Monsterdon

Titular line! Everyone drink.

#Monsterdon

ROLL CREDITS #Monsterdon

Does no one have a bunch of nails to, I don't know, toss around outside where all the trucks are circling?

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

I marked "Speedy drink delivery" on my bingo card just because of that Miller truck.

She said it!!!
#monsterdon

THEY SAID THE MOVIE NAME!

#Monsterdon

Welp.

Drink up everyone.

#titledrop #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Name Drop! #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@CactuarJoe Yeah, even before it left the highway #monsterdon

I assume that, when this movie was made, Pat Hingle having a fucking rocket launcher just lying around was supposed to prove he was a complete weirdo.

Now it just proves he's a red-blooded American male.

#Monsterdon

Title line!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The trucks drive around still, witnessing the carcasses of their departed convoy compatriots #Monsterdon

@apLundell prepping for COVID

#Monsterdon

$1.08 a gallon for Diesel is the real horror in this film.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

good thing the weapon he's got wasn't possessed too #monsterdon

"yeah i just said the name of the movie. gotta act real cool for a few beats."

#monsterdon

SHE SAID THE TITLE!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Somebody tee-pee'd that truck stop

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

cinematographer's doing heroic work trying to keep this movie coherent

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The trucks are pissed at that car for siding with the filthy meatbags.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

oh shoot, sorry, that's a PA-23 Apache.

#monsterdon

Could Pat Hingle be any more one-dimensional?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I am confused, why did they stop blowing up the trucks — kid

#monsterdon Sturgis was a mess during this time.

#Monsterdon Well this movie wasn’t made in early 2020! #TP

In addition to not knowing human relationships, he clearly has no idea how cars or physics works, either.
#monsterdon

Is the point of this movie that the only reason you might want any of these people to survive is because you share a species with them?

#Monsterdon

maybe bubba's smuggling 'em down to the contras for ollie north

i mean, it is the 80s

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Is this how Truck Month got started?
#monsterdon

blown up truck filled with rolls of toilet paper, I was wrong about this movie being twisted, it's twisted AS FUCK

#monsterdon

uhoh, here comes the deadly Piper PA28

#monsterdon

#monsterdon little known fact: most southern truck stops stock rocket launchers standard

they want us to hate this just-married girl but they've written her using a bunch of sexist tropes so i hope she survives. also she's allowed to fucking complain TRUCKS ARE TRYING TO KILL THEM

#monsterdon
