"I'm gonna scare the hell out of you," intones Stephen King in the trailer for his sole directorial effort, the much-maligned Maximum Overdrive. While the end result doesn't live up to that boast, this sci-fi/horror tale isn't as awful as it's been described. King's script (based on his short story "Trucks") focuses on the patrons of a North Carolina truck stop, which comes under attack by a convoy of trucks and other machines animated by Earth's passage through the tail of a "rogue comet." King's fans, tired of half-baked screen adaptations like Cujo and Children of the Corn, expected a horror home run from Maximum Overdrive and instead got an old-fashioned drive-in movie filled with car crashes, cheapjack gore, and fart jokes. Needless to say, they stayed away in droves; the film's failure helped ruin producer Dino De Laurentiis's DEG Films and forced King to sheepishly claim that he had created a modern-day Plan Nine from Outer Space. While the film is torpidly paced and often amateurishly acted, it's no worse than any direct-to-video thriller, and King's ear for dialogue occasionally shines through the gloom. Emilio Estevez and Pat Hingle register as a heroic cook and his black-hearted boss, respectively; the cast includes Yeardley Smith (Lisa Simpson's voice), Giancarlo Esposito, and Marla Maples (!) as a victim. Anchor Bay's letterboxed print is the R-rated theatrical version; the film was cut extensively after receiving an X rating for violence. The original trailer and a thorough biography on King are also included. --Paul Gaita

I have watched this movie a few times finally got it on dvd to add to my collection
Great movie but.. July 17, 2010
Hixikon
Yea awesome movie, glad I remembered it and got it, BUT the sale details said it was a Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 (FULL SCREEN), and guess what, its not. Thanks. I dont care if HD is the thing nowadays, I have 5 normal tvs that still work so I dont need that, but widescreen makes movies on them a waste of money, its like over cropping a photo. Personally due to false advertisment I think this deserves a full refund without return. So yea, the movie is awesome, this retailer (or whomever entered the details column), not so much.
CLASSIC! July 9, 2010
Justin A. Parr (Dallas)

Can anyone please tell me if this version is the full uncut version or the same one that Anchor Bay released before?
