Maximum Overdrive is King's only directorial effort, though dozens of films have been based on King's novels. The film contained black humor elements and a generally campy tone, which contrasts with King's sombre subject matter in books. The film has a mid-1980s hard rock soundtrack composed entirely by the group AC/DC, King's favorite band. AC/DC's album Who Made Who was released as the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack. It includes the best-selling singles "Who Made Who", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and "Hells Bells".
The film was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Director for King and Worst Actor for Estevez in 1987, but both lost against Prince for Under the Cherry Moon. In 1988, Maximum Overdrive was nominated for "Best Film" at the International Fantasy Film Awards. King himself described the film as a "moron movie" and stated his intention to never direct again soon after. In a 2002 interview with Tony Magistrale for the book Hollywood's Stephen King, King stated that he was "coked out of [his] mind all through its production, and [he] really didn't know what [he] was doing". King considers the film a learning experience.
Maximum Overdrive was released in November 1993 as the fourth single from 2 Unlimited's second album, No Limits!.
The release scored chart success in many European countries topping the charts in Finland and Spain. The UK release was the first UK single to maintain all the rap lyrics from Ray used in the European release.
The greatest scenes in the film! (Well, In My Opinion). Enjoy The 80's Nostalgia!

AC DC - HELLS BELLS - MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
Movie: Maximum Overdrive. 1986.
Película: 8 Días de Terror.
Filme: La Rebelión de las Máquinas.
AC/DC (stylized as ACϟDC) are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by Scottish-born brothers Malcom and Angus Young.
Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine.
"AC/DC" is an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct current" electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances of their music.
"AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as "Acca Dacca" in Australia.
The AC/DC band is stylised with a high voltage sign separating the "AC" and "DC"...

Lyrics
I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you
Hell's bells
Yeah, hell's bells
You got me ringing hell's bells
My temperature's high, hell's bells
I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See the white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if good's on the left,
Then I'm stickin' to the right
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you
Hell's bells
Yeah, hell's bells
You got me ringing hell's bells
My temperature's high, hell's bells
Yeow
Hell's bells, Satan's comin' to you
Hell's bells, he's ringing them now
Hell's bells, the temperature's high
Hell's bells, across the sky
Hell's bells, they're takin' you down
Hell's bells, they're draggin' you around
Hell's bells, gonna split the night
Hell's bells, there's no way to fight, yeah
Ow, ow, ow, ow
Hell's bells

How strong this impulse in your head, can't stop you even with a sedative. You got a means, you got a way. You don't carewhat may come out of it. Start up more positive. Start up more emotional. Start up never mind other eyes. Start up are you ready now? Start up the time has come. Start up stamp your feet hard. You can do everything now, with maximum overdrive. You were a coward who shut yourself up. But you changed beyond recognition. You found a reason, you found a dream. You don't care what may come out of it. Nice life more pleasure. Nice life more freedom. Nice life always keep on going. Nice life are you ready now? Nice life starting the show. Nice life shake your head hard. You can do everything now, with maximum overdrive. Everybody has it in their mind. Everybody has it in their head. Everybody has it in their fist. You only don't know how to use it.
