incidentally, The Brave Little Toaster came out literally the year after this. I was scared of the air conditioner (https://youtu.be/VUcuHUvI1UI).
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
bad news, bears
NUTSHOT!
Aaand the soda hits him in the dick causing a massive blood explosio- I WAS JOKING #Monsterdon
#monsterdon well the KIDS arenβt buying, mister
Baseball? In a Stephen King movie? No way!
NEVER lose an opportunity to perv on the waitress, even when she's screaming and covered in her own blood
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
Omg Giancarlo Esposito lol #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986
#monsterdon heβs 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?
Are the symbols supposed to the be the Aliens trying to hack people?
He died as he lived, twitchy. #Monsterdon
What a shocking death #Monsterdon
He got ..... smoked.
We had an electric knife exactly like that at home when I was little, Iβm glad ours never got possessed #monsterdon
I desperately want to go to this arcade #monsterdon
Naw, that can't be right. That was a boy who froze and didn't run from the steam roller.
Now you're playing with power!
I fully endorse violence against anyone who calls a waitress βsweet thingβ.
Read all about the robot uprising: https://what-if.xkcd.com/5/
Gus Fring electromacuted by the vid game
#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.
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.
Hey man, don't get too close to that Sinistar cabinet if you don't wanna get jumpscared. #monsterdon
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO???
Even in the 80s, movies were all over the prison industrial complex.
Trippin balzz
legit surprised he didn't drive a muscle car, tbh
those knives are in every thrift store in north america for $2
always $2
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
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
So, machines and electronics are alive?
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.
Iβm very confused as to how the knife suddenly became heat-seeking #Monsterdon
Whew, this soundtrack NEEDS YOU TO KNOW.
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
Star Castle! Colour vector graphics!
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
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??? (-_-)
i was confused for a moment on this one, i thought she got jumped by an entirely inanimate knife
Giancarlo Esposito!!!
leaning on the grill, however, that's fine
βGene Poolβ #Monsterdon
Ooh, punching in. Never quite worked somewhere that did that.
Heβs super excited to saveβ¦ $3.15 for that hour.
I had to turn subtitles on to understand the asshole boss #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon
so many fords!
@healyn I said "Donald" Faison for some reason. Ofc it's Frankie
Franz Mesmer's ghost must have made that Star Castle arcade machine.
#Monsterdon π π€ π π§ π±
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
Very prescient sort of manager. (Now they all do this.)
I must have rented this VHS 20 or 30 times as a teenager. Pretty sure I've seen it more than any Star Wars.
LMBO!! Dude with all those cigs! #monsterdon Rent bout to be paid! LOL
the electric knife attacking her is so gosh darn hilarious
Oh my. Apparently I've only ever seen the TV edited version of this movie. #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
We can safely assume all the naked women on that wall talk to each other about something other than men
Frankie Faison is in this??!!! #monsterdon
πΆ Gas gets in your eyes πΆ #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon
oops, spoke too soon...
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon my kid says βit costs $5 to play an arcade game nowβ & this is the first of many βwell it was a different timeβs Iβm going to say over the next hour and a half
this is Emilio's Badlands
There it is. One of the three reasons people even remember this movie.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive
President Bartlett!?
No gas? Maybe the tariff's kicked in #monsterdon
Hahahah not the auto-distributing soup dispenser!!
Those things were awesome if you were stuck in a campus building with no food. Salty salty colored water flavored vaguely of chicken #Monsterdon
10 minutes without a single character or event! #monsterdon
why are switchesmoving themselves?
@strangefour It's good but it's no Ramones.
Been a while since I've seen a cigarette machine with actual cigarettes in it. There's a brewery here that sells local chocolates in a particularly retro one.
Damn, my download failed. That's why you have always to try your #monsterdon files previosly :sad_dog:
This is probably the most coffee that #Monsterdon has ever coffee'd
Oh yeah, look DIRECTLY DOWN THE BARREL there we go #Monsterdon
This guy knows his refuellers...
#Monsterdon
On the bright side, he now has xray vision.
