Line 9:
The movie centers around people trapped in a truck stop, surrounded by homicidal trucks and other vehicles who have gained sentience from radiation produced by a comet close to earth.
Yeah, it's one of those [[So Bad It's Good]] films, but at least the whole soundtrack is made of [[ACDC
Later King claimed that he was [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made

Line 25:
* [[Car Meets House]]
* [[Closed Circle]]: the truck stop
* [[Cool Mask]]: The [[Spider
* [[Creator Cameo]]: That was King at the ATM machine in the opening sequence.
* [[Death
* [[Everyone Knows Morse]]: When the military vehicle starts honking its horn, Deke recognizes that it's using morse code.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Duncan gets an eyeful of gasoline.
Line 39:
* [[More Dakka]]: Hendershot's gun collection in the truck stop's basement and at one point trucks call an armed military vehicle for assistance.
* [[Plug N Play Technology]]: Kind of a weird partial example. There's no actual interfacing of differing technologies per se, but the weird alien radiation which animates the Earth's gadgets does endow those gadgets with some unexpected abilities -- such as the ability to see/sense humans, or to move independently even with no built-in means of locomotion. In the short story, at least, the "alien ray" was supernatural.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''Maximum Overdrive'' is [[Night of the Living Dead
* [[The Scourge of God]]: the creepy, lecherous Bible salesman.
* [[Sentient Vehicle]]
