@Taweret
Cocaine!

#monsterdon NRA: we stand by your right to fully automatic vending machine firearms in case of tyranny

This kid is clearly going to be the smartest character in the whole movie

I am interested in how we're gonna define 'machine' for purposes of maximum overdrive since there are a number of 'machines' in a kitchen that seem to not be trying to murder anyone. The fridge? The stove? Nothing. But the electric knife? MURDER

Keep tha change ya filthy animals #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@starkraving666 Just a baby!

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

coach?

you're canned

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon ok I do love this scene

RC Cola right in the nuts, this is better than The Shining and Carrie combined

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon - hey, look, baby MAGats

#Monsterdon

pretty sure I've been at that filling station

have def seen the green goblin truck

If you can dodge a pepsi, you can dodge a ball.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

incidentally, The Brave Little Toaster came out literally the year after this. I was scared of the air conditioner (https://youtu.be/VUcuHUvI1UI).

#Monsterdon

In the SK short story, it was just gas powered machines that came to life. I think. It's been a long time since I read King

#monsterdon

bad news, bears

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

NUTSHOT!

#Monsterdon

Aaand the soda hits him in the dick causing a massive blood explosio- I WAS JOKING #Monsterdon

#monsterdon well the KIDS aren’t buying, mister

Baseball? In a Stephen King movie? No way!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

NEVER lose an opportunity to perv on the waitress, even when she's screaming and covered in her own blood

#Monsterdon

Child endangerment in 3... 2.... 1... #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Missed opportunity to ignite every cigarette that guy put in his pockets. #monsterdon

starting to think this IS actually going to be an hour and a half of physical comedy and gore due to random machine attacks

#monsterdon

Omg Giancarlo Esposito lol #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

#monsterdon he’s a pinball wizard and there DOES have to be a twist. Soon I hope

And there's thing #3 people remember about this movie. The first on screen appearance of the Green Goblin.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

You can tell the machines are evil now because they're... giving free money and smokes to anyone nearby?

#Monsterdon

Are the symbols supposed to the be the Aliens trying to hack people?

#Monsterdon

He died as he lived, twitchy. #Monsterdon

What a shocking death #Monsterdon

@wohali Polybius.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius_(urban_legend)

#monsterdon

He got ..... smoked.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

We had an electric knife exactly like that at home when I was little, I’m glad ours never got possessed #monsterdon

I desperately want to go to this arcade #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

Naw, that can't be right. That was a boy who froze and didn't run from the steam roller.

I fully endorse violence against anyone who calls a waitress “sweet thing”.

#Monsterdon

Read all about the robot uprising: https://what-if.xkcd.com/5/

#Monsterdon

Gus Fring electromacuted by the vid game

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#monsterdon Look, don't worry about how any of this would work. This is not that kind of a movie.

Ngl I screamed at the bloody electric knife scene #Monsterdon

"I don't give a ladybug!"
This would be an adorable era for language if not for the way the waitress looked at the trucker suggested she was disguising some language of her own.
#Monsterdon

@paco subtitle said "peaturkey" #monsterdon

@lytta absolutely is! recommended.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Restarted the computer and my router, got the miru stream working (sort of?) I'm behind and tuned in to see a woman cut by an electric carving knife (which all sort of freak me out). Eww.

#Monsterdon

Hey man, don't get too close to that Sinistar cabinet if you don't wanna get jumpscared. #monsterdon

GIANCARLO ESPOSITO???

#monsterdon

Even in the 80s, movies were all over the prison industrial complex.

#monsterdon

Trippin balzz

#Monsterdon

@jeffron #monsterdon

legit surprised he didn't drive a muscle car, tbh

those knives are in every thrift store in north america for $2

always $2

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

while i have often wanted to, i have never actually smashed a malfunctioning appliancewith a hammer #monsterdon

Emilio Esteves does not take kindly to disobedience in machines

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Oh nice, Polybius. #Monsterdon

The vehicle stunts are atleast pretty good. You hired a good stunt crew mr King.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Leon Rippy as one of the yokel customers

#Monsterdon

Finally we reach the point that it becomes a horror movie.

And some dude is joking about the person who is bleeding profusely because of course someone did.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

so many fords!

who /hasn't/ had days like this?

I’m very confused as to how the knife suddenly became heat-seeking #Monsterdon

Whew, this soundtrack NEEDS YOU TO KNOW.

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon

GIANCARLO ESPOSITO as the video game player

That's worth the price of admission right there

Welp, gotta put the electric knife down now. Stand back. So long Ol' Yeller. #Monsterdon

Just going to keep posting this ^ #Monsterdon

I have that exact knife in my closet to cut foam

only it's way more yellow now xD

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Star Castle! Colour vector graphics!

#monsterdon

did that guy just use "your momma" as a swear word of sorts? #Monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

Ahhhh Capitalism. "You made a mistake, so now I can work you for free." Fuck bosses like that.. #Monsterdon

@GeoffWozniak based on that reputation, I feel that perhaps nobody could be properly prepared for this movie, short of being on as much coke as King was when making it

#Monsterdon

This kind of movie, I'd expect to see Joe Estevez before Emilio. #Monsterdon

um, did that time card say that guy's name was Gene Pool??? (-_-)

#monsterdon

Giancarlo Esposito!!!

#Monsterdon

leaning on the grill, however, that's fine

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

i was confused for a moment on this one, i thought she got jumped by an entirely inanimate knife

#monsterdon

“Gene Pool” #Monsterdon

He’s super excited to save… $3.15 for that hour.

#Monsterdon

I had to turn subtitles on to understand the asshole boss #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

so many fords!

@healyn I said "Donald" Faison for some reason. Ofc it's Frankie

#Monsterdon

#MaximumOverdrive

Franz Mesmer's ghost must have made that Star Castle arcade machine.

#Monsterdon 🚚 🤖 📠 🏧 😱

so far, not a bad movie imho - we got resistance to wage theft, evil yokels, an almost misspelled toy truck, and lots and lots of dead melons!

Lol that gasoline was cut with extra chunky pesto

#Monsterdon

Very prescient sort of manager. (Now they all do this.)

#Monsterdon

I must have rented this VHS 20 or 30 times as a teenager. Pretty sure I've seen it more than any Star Wars.

#monsterdon

LMBO!! Dude with all those cigs! #monsterdon Rent bout to be paid! LOL

the electric knife attacking her is so gosh darn hilarious

#monsterdon

Oh my. Apparently I've only ever seen the TV edited version of this movie. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Introducing the newest Transformer, Los Diablos.
#Monsterdon

I realize as a horror film from the 80s, the gutters are gonna be running red with blood at some point, but so far it feels like we're just running through the OSHA violations book alphabetically. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I gotta wipe everybody's ass around here.. it's a shitty job but.. Stephen, write better.

only an hour a day of wage theft? this guy's downright honest

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

We can safely assume all the naked women on that wall talk to each other about something other than men

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Frankie Faison is in this??!!! #monsterdon

🎶 Gas gets in your eyes 🎶 #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

oops, spoke too soon...
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon my kid says “it costs $5 to play an arcade game now” & this is the first of many “well it was a different time”s I’m going to say over the next hour and a half

this is Emilio's Badlands

#monsterdon

President Bartlett!?

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

There it is. One of the three reasons people even remember this movie.
