Maximum Overdrive/Trivia
- The Cameo: Bandmembers of AC/DC appear briefly on a boat in the bridge scene.
- Stephen King appears briefly as the man using ATM machine in the opening.
- Eye Scream: Unfortunate real life example happened when a remote-controlled lawnmower accidentally struck a piece of wood and the director of photography lost his eye from the splinters. He sued King for several million dollars (they later settled out of court).
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Emilio Estevez is Bill the protagonist, Yeardley Smith is the newly-wed bride Connie.
- Commissioner Gordon is the greedy gas-station owner Hendershot.
- Old Shame: For Yeardley Smith and Stephen King at least. Stephen King likes to say that everyone makes mistakes now and then - "I directed Maximum Overdrive, I know what I'm talking about."
- Rock Star Composer
- Shout-Out: The light aircraft flying recon for the trucks is playing "Flight of the Valkyries" on its radio.
- What Could Have Been: Stephen King himself making a movie based on his works? What could go wrong?
