15 gallons for $9?

#monsterdon

the gasoline pump was in their side all along

trying to save them all

OR NOT MUWAH HA HA HA HA

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Dig that cocktail arcade cabinet. What was that?

#Monsterdon

Paging @ifixcoinops…we got a couple pinball machines need fixin'…

#Monsterdon

why was he surprised the gas pump squirted in his eye when it looked like he was trying to drink it- oh

#monsterdon

Pete turkey or pea turkey?
#monsterdon

Giancarlo Esposito! #Monsterdon

Does a malfunctioning drawbridge causing many crashes qualify as a 'bridge destroyed' for bingo purposes?

#monsterdon Yeah, this is what smart people do.

Great rock theme song for a weird shitty little movie.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

@Taweret "beef watermelon" sounds like a different #Monsterdon movie.

Reminds me of an issue of Weekly World News I once read about growing meat in plants, where they just put a bunch of ground beef into a hollowed-out melon.

He's got an EARRING, he's such a BAD BOY

#Monsterdon

Not appearing in this picture: The Laws of Physics.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

machines that used to be common

#monsterdon

What is “Pete Turkey”? #monsterdon

I'm sure this diner is where they're getting the coke

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon standardized racism & sexism reminding me why I left the 1980s

man, the props people must have had so much fun on this set. #monsterdon

WHAT IS GOING ON
#MONSTERDON

It's Eggmelio

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

It's just not breakfast without Peat Turkey!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Coach Gordon! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Billy thr Kid!

Yes, the make up team even made him look like a semi.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

I GOT EGGS ON

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

The goblin-faced truck is FABULOUS, I want to see it next time I’m driving down the interstate #Monsterdon

Aw you broke the yolk :/ #Monsterdon

The bridge scene was great. #monsterdon

I really hope the correct eye blinks when he uses his turn signal

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Rise of the Machines

DOnald Faison! #Monsterdon

“You wanna ring me a light coffee when you get done jerking on that thing, honey?”

Crossed off “Sexism” on my BINGO card.

#Monsterdon

Pete Turkey!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

EMILIOOOOOOOOOOOO

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

"Music by AC/DC"
Yeaaaaahhhhh that "stardust" the Earth is swimming in is definitely coke.
#Monsterdon

Guys, there's a Disney lawyer at my apartment holding a weapon to my head, says we owe them money. #monsterdon

Instructions unclear. I just slammed a Diet Coke and the movie still doesn't make sense.

#monsterdon

I've never seen product placement for the band that did the soundtrack before. #monsterdon

Smoking at a gas station 🥴
#monsterdon

wow stuckey's have come a long way since this movie

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Great use of watermelon effects. 🍉 #Monsterdon

"...and now I can't get beef jerky on this."

#monsterdon

Hey it's Barney from Silence of the Lambs #monsterdon

“Can’t you see we got a situation here????”

Most of the casualties appear to be watermelons, sir
#Monsterdon

Attack! Of The Killer Watermelons! #Monsterdon

Yeah that goblin head is *definitely* not road legal. #Monsterdon

@nhgeek "Sniff" or "Snort" are the preferred verbs, I've been told.

#Monsterdon

megaweapon is of course brilliant in this role as always

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Watermelon trucks are east coast. Chicken trucks are west coast. Fight me.

#Monsterdon

@diazona BUT I HAVE TO ASK THEM ANYWAY!

#Monsterdon

Falling trucks! Rock'n'roll! AWESOME #MaximumOverdrive #monsterdon

This scene looks like it was scripted by two seven year olds, a plastic race track, wayyyy too many Hot Wheels, and a sandbox with a garden hose nearby #Monsterdon

"Holy God, look at that thing"

My reaction indeed

#monsterdon

I love how each of these cars are so top heavy that their centers of gravity cause them to fall backward down the ramp.

#Monsterdon

Stopping on a drawbridge leaf as the bridge raises unexpectedly... relateable.

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

it's a shame Happy Toyz went out of business

#monsterdon

The earth is covered in stink lines from space.
#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

How is is Tracey Walter not in this movie #monsterdon

I really want someone to die by watermelon

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

We're spending a lot of time on this bridge. #Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

#Monsterdon

I have no sympathy for that guy. Who the fuck stops in the middle of a fuckin' drawbridge?

I told Mr. Blue what y'all are watching, and he just laughed. Yes, he's seen it. Not in the theater this time. #Monsterdon

Watermelon is the real horror

#monsterdon

the watermelons stand if for all the heads they weren't allowed to explode on screen

#monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive

Yeah, I think the cars might have the right of this, these drivers are idiots. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon watermelons. Of. Death.

#Monsterdon If would be a real shame if the bridge went up all by itself...

My headcanon is that Steven King played all the roles. Every one. There's only one actor in the whole film and an extensive makeup team.

#monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

in 2025 you'd just have the Aliens hack our computers to turn everything against us, but it's the 80s so we have a magical force controlling mechanical devices.

Props to the stunt guy who fell into the river just there

#Monsterdon

I was all excited for this and I can't get any of the streams to work, when I normally have no issues. Guess my internet connection is being tetchy tonight. Booooo!!!!

#Monsterdon

we got a situation here

#monsterdon

Two safety tips:

1. Seat Belts
2. Abandon your truck if it is in that situation.

#Monsterdon

i like how the atm is just called money man ii like it's some shitty sequel to some heist movie #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive

The carnage is okay. Could be better

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so this is what goes through my head every time i go over a drawbridge :D

#Monsterdon

You can just feel the heat and summer misery coming off the screen.

Between Stephen King, the era, and the soundtrack and scenes, I have a feeling this is gonna be a movie that was written and shot while on cocaine and quite happy about it, too.
#Monsterdon

Filmed in Wilmington, NC. #monsterdon

Their "wrecking shit" budget is HUGE!

#Monsterdon #MaximumOverdrive1986

Always do your best ape yell when you're falling into water

#Monsterdon

...Okay at that point why would you get back in the truck? #Monsterdon

I've never ever seen this before
#monsterdon

oh okay it's also machines that don't have computers in them. wheels just detaching from axles out of spite.

oh i want some watermelon

#monsterdon

Stephen King's ATM telling him he's an asshole probably not incorrect in the early 80s. Also I feel like the bingo card will be full by the end.

I have Who Made Who on regular rotation in my smashy playlist for my car's USB drive, such a banger.

#monsterdon

If this film is nothing but road footage and ACDC, it will be one of the best films we’ve watched #Monsterdon

Gonna be kinda nice to watch a film with people in it whose names I recognize. :) #monsterdon

Written, directed and cameo’d by Stephen King
Music by AC/DC - I’m sold #monsterdon

Wait .... did he just slide up the incline? #monsterdon

THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT MOVIE FOR OUR TIMES #monsterdon #maximumoverdrive1986

I’m that truck driver, WTFing all the time.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Tarzan noooo

@Infoseepage

Lifeforce

The Night of the Comet

etc

#Monsterdon

Is the all caps captioning part of the coke effect? #Monsterdon

@lytta yeah, I'm used to it now #monsterdon

Ok, so I'm really having to ask the obvious here, but how are these rogue machines actually causing buttons/etc to physically move? I can accept circuits going rogue, but... There just... is no mechanism even with comets hacking them that they could physically move levers and switches and stuff.

#Monsterdon

That was the opposite of a Wilhelm scream somehow

#monsterdon
#MaximumOverdrive

GREEN GOBLIN SIGHTED

#Monsterdon

MY CABBAGES!!!!

#Monsterdon

@wohali Honestly it's better a little blurry, it's like Stephen King Vision. #Monsterdon
