Talk:Maximum Overdrive

You know, I'm fairly sure that M274 is there because the script called for a tank but it was the only military vehicle they could afford / get their hands on. It does rather highlight all the logical issues with the premise to have something with a completely exposed cab show up. Along with the question of what joker loaded and cocked the machinegun for it since it's not like it can reach up and do that itself. Evil Tim 01:52, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

Well this entire film was bizarre in that it violated it's own rules. I can see 'moving machines' being possessed (even though the premise is ridiculous), but the M60 machine gun was not on a motorized mount so how could it be turned, even when under the influence of an external force which 'controls machines'. The most ridiculous scene was the quick clip of the woman who was strangled by her own phone cord. Why would a coiled CORD strangle someone? How? Even in other 'sci fi' films, forces can influence things like Computers, or printers or cars, but they don't make rope jump up off the ground and wrap around your neck. That sort of 'animation' of an inanimate object would actually require MAGIC (like the sorceror's apprentice) or mystical supernatural powers (like poltergeists or The Devil). This of course being in the 'logic' of stories as we know them. MoviePropMaster2008 02:02, 7 May 2011 (CDT)
