It was supposed to be the maximum

The 1986 movie “The Fragrance of the Individual” was the first movie directed by Stephen King. It was also, so far, the end. It was easy to be famous by critics and the fans rejected it. This should be a blow because I am King, because the largest part of the TV films and programs based on his work, even that point, was mostly. The world had already seen “Carrie”, “The Shing”, “Cujo”, “The Dead Zone”, “Christine”, “Creepshow” and “Cat’s Eye”. The King “Maximum Overdrive” was the first legitimate bomb of the author.

The film was based on the story of King’s 1978 short “Trucks”, about the distant truck station that was apparently attacked by a killer. The film had a lot of AC/DC on soundtrack, and he starred Emilio Estevez at the time. The most prominent discount of a game connection with a giant pile face was in the foreground. As we mentioned, critics criticized Bonkers and ridiculous pictures, and the movie continued to be nominated for several razzies. After decades, only a wounded force was acquired, and it was still discussed in bad films podcast such as “How was this made?” This was the same podcast that entered films like “Bird feature: Shock and Terror”, “From Justin to Kelly” and “The Apple”.

In fact, “How was this made?” Podcast sometimes will deeply dive into some of the films in particular, and contact film factories to know, well, exactly how something was made. /The movie previously covered the history of the mouth From “maximum marriage”, interesting details appeared. It seems that “the maximum marriage” was originally aimed at being part of the movie Stephen King’s selection called “machines”, which would also include short deportations for “The Lawnmower Man” and “The Mangler”.

The story indicates that an ambitious product called Milton Subotsky has purchased the rights of the film for multiple stories in the short King’s 1978 story. This folder includes “trucks”, “random man” and “The Mangler”, “The Mangler” But also “atom children”, “ “The Bogeyman”, “Al -Quds Lot” and “Sometimes they come back.” Large screen modifications for two stories of “Night Shift” – “Quitters, Inc.” And “The Ledge” – included in the movie “Cat’s Eye”.

It should be noted that King’s Subotsky hated, as the producer once said that horror stories must have happy ends, and the king of feelings is very different. Roberto Crossi, who held the position of the translator specified on the Italian “maximum” groups, remembers the early stages of production, and how Subotsky wanted to make “cat” selections. He even wrote when the project collapsed due to lack of funding. With words of Karshi:

(W) Itt “trucks” – unlike the eye of CAT, which was a selection of three unrelated King’s stories – the plan was the package of these discourse with “The Flunmower Man” and “The Mangler” to create a group called “machines”. Subotsky presents with this idea, so he had a text that was formulated by the authors of the scenario Edward And Valery Abraham.

Subotsky ended with the sale of “trucks” rights to the star of the producer Dino De Laurentiis, where he needed money to pay an unrelated lawsuit. The idea of ​​the selections collapsed.

The idea of ​​uniting “the maximum thinking”, “man in hashish”, “The Manger” is somewhat ridiculous, if you are aware of what happened to adapt to “Manmower Man” and “Mangler” in the 1990s.

The “random man” is a strange duck in itself. It should be noted immediately that the 1992 Brett Leonard movie of Stephen King’s “The Lawnmower Man” was only adapting to the name. The King’s 1975 short story was “The Lawnmower Man” revolving around a mysterious gardener that was appointed to cut the hero of the novel. However, the gardener appears to operate the weeds mower physically, and loves to eat with vapor grass extracts. In the end, it turned out that the gardener is satire, and uses the grass murder to make sacrifices to God Almighty. The eyebrow runs down the protagonist with the novel, and cut off from it to the bird bath.

Leonard, in a flagrant contradiction, revolves around the world of the brain (Pierce Prosnan), which uses high -end drugs and mysterious new virtual reality techniques to enhance a local gardener brain named Job (Jeff Fahi). Jobe ends with a crazy psychological genius and aims to pump consciousness into the world. The “random man” was also covered with “How was this made?” It was very bad, Stephen King has successfully prosecuted his name.

“The Mangler”, at the same time, was adapted to his own movie in 1995 by director Tob Hooper. The story took place in a parallel version of Bonkers from the 1940s, and focused on Mangal an artificial laundry that was owned by a demon. The owner of the mangler, played by Robert Engelond, allowed his employees to disturb sometimes and kill by the machine as a form of human sacrifice. The film is very strange, and the climax when the mangler comes the size of the truck and begins to chase Ted Levin through the factory.

Three films from Bonkers are believed just like “Maximum Overdrive”, “The Falnmower Man” and “The Mangler” are challenging in one movie at the very least. Well, confusing those who love garbage cinema.

For anyone else, it may have been the worst of any adaptation ever. “Dreamcatcher” is still present.
