Maximum Overdrive is *beep* awesome - TNT Monstervision


Maximum Overdrive is *beep* awesome.

Anyone else grow up watching it on TNT's Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs?

reply

Yes!! I was just talking to my boyfriend about Joe Bob Briggs and Monstervision! I remember staying up late to watch the cult classics that played. This was the first time I saw Maximum Overdrive! Funny enough the entire episode is uploaded on YouTube!

I'm pretty sure the first time I ever saw this movie was on Monstervision, and I've loved it ever since :)
I miss Monstervision though!

I can't really remember the first time I saw it; I remember reading the short story, and when the movie came out, I recall people saying that it was terrible.

But I'm a sucker for homicidal semi trucks, and I was not disappointed when I finally saw it for the first time.

Did Monstervision show the scene with the road roller crushing the little league ball player?

I love this movie and I have to watch it at least once a year.

Saw it in theaters when I was 12, but never caught it on Monstervision.

I remember everyone walking out after it complaining about how bad it was. Me and about five other kids my age thought it was so awesome!!!

Still love it to this day, regardless of what anyone says.

And one of the best movies to quote for everyday use:
"Aaalllright Bubba! Stick this one in your depot!!!"

My coworkers have no clue what I'm talking about, but eh, their loss.

Cool.
