Maximum Overdrive is Stephen King's first and only directorial effort. Over a hundred films have been based on King's novels; however to date Maximum Overdrive remains the only film to have ever been written and/or directed by King himself. A large number of King's fanbase were disappointed with the black humour elements of Maximum Overdrive, and what some felt felt to be a general trashy and camp style unbefitting of King's intelligent and sombre literature. The neophyte director was nominated for the title of "Worst Director" by the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1987. King himself described the film as a "moron movie", and stated his intention to never direct again soon after.

The film has a mid-1980s rock and roll/hard rock soundtrack composed entirely by the group AC/DC, one of Stephen King's favourite bands. AC/DC's album, Who Made Who, was released as the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack. It includes the best-selling singles Who Made Who? and Hells Bells.

The villains

Most iconic among Maximum Overdrive's trucks is a black 1979 White Western Star with the Green Goblin face mounted on the front, hauling Happy Toyz Co. toys (Happy Toyz Co. is a fictional company). This served as the main "villain" in the film, as it appears to be the ringleader of the trucks, and also because it the only truck with any humanoid feature.

The Dixie Boy Truck Stop

The "Dixie Boy" truck stop was a full-scale set constructed ten miles west of Wilmington, North Carolina, on US interstate 74/76. The exact location was just outside of Leland, North Carolina. It was convincing enough that several truckers tried to stop in and eat there, and some tried to refuel. Eventually the producers had to put up several signs informing the truckers the set was fake and not a real truck stop. The producers also put announcements in local papers saying that the "Dixie Boy" was just a movie set.

After filming wrapped up (and the set had been partially demolished by explosives), some locals bought the set of the "Dixie Boy" and transformed it into a working truck stop. It was fully functional for three or four years, until it went bankrupt and was torn down sometime in the late 1980s. Some signposts for the Dixie Boy still remain, however. Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organization to pay their creditors. ...

Accidents on set and following legal action

When filming the scene where the ice cream truck flips over, the stunt didn't go according to plan and almost resulted in an accident. A telephone pole-size beam of wood was placed inside so it would flip end over end, but it only flipped once and slid on its roof, right into the camera.

A second incident, this time leading to serious injury, occurred on 31 July 1985 whilst filming in a suburb of Wilmington, North Carolina. A radio-controlled lawnmower used in a scene went out of control and struck a block of wood used as a camera support, shooting out wood splinters which injured the director of photography, Armando Nannuzzi. As a result of this incident, Nanuzzi lost an eye. Nannuzzi sued Stephen King on February 18, 1987 for $18 million in damages due to unsafe working practices. The suit was settled out of court.

Trivia

• The main villain, the "Happy Toyz truck", is a 1979 White Western Star. The head on the truck is based on that of Marvel Comics' Green Goblin.

• Writer and Director Stephen King gives himself a cameo appearance at the very beginning of the film, as the man who is abused by the ATM machine outide the 1st bank of Wilmington and cries out "honey buns, come over here. This machine just called me an ***hole".

• Yeardley Smith portrayed Connie, a hysterical newlywed whose honeymoon has gone haywire. Smith later went on to provide the voice of Lisa Simpson on The Simpsons. Maximum Overdrive was spoofed with a Simpsons episode named Maximum Homerdrive.

• During the scene with the ferry bridge disaster, a van carrying a tribute rock band can be seen with the AC/DC band's logo. AC/DC performed the music for the movie.

• In the ferry bridge disaster scene, some people are visible on a boat in the wide shots. These are actually the members of the real AC/DC.

• If you listen closely you can hear the ice cream truck's tune is "King of the Road".

• While shooting the scene where the steamroller rampages across the baseball diamond, Stephen King requested that the SFX department place a bag of fake blood near the dummy of a young player who would be ran over by it. The desired effect would be that a smear of blood would appear on the steamroller and be re-smeared on the grass over and over, like a printing press. While filming the scene, however, the bag of blood exploded too soon and sprayed everywhere, making it appear as if the boy's head had also exploded. King was thrilled with the results, but censors demanded the shot be cut.

• Stephen King was forced to make a number of changes to the film in order to avoid an X rating for violence. Although these scenes probably would have passed today, they were deemed excessive at the time. The cut scenes have not been reinstated in the DVD release and are presumed lost. The scenes are reported to total about 13 seconds and include an extended look at the steamroller running over the kid in the baseball field (as noted above), the bible salesman losing his face and it falling into his lap, and more of the truck stop shoot-out scene. There was also reportedly a matte painting of a major American city utterly in ruins after being destroyed by the haywire machines.

• A trailer for this film used the John Carpenter/Alan Howarth score from Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982).
