Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive (1986)



Released only two weeks before Stand By Me, 1986's Maximum Overdrive is unfairly criticized for being the worst Stephen King movie of all time. Though by no means perfect, Red Coat and Black Coat find much to admire in King's drive-in classic.




Fun fact: Cast includes both Frankie Faison and Giancarlo Esposito, who would appear three years later in Spike Lee's masterpiece Do The Right Thing.




Bad Sound FX: When the kid shoots up the drive-through menu, you still see bullet holes being blasted into the sign after the sound of gunshots have ended.

The Heavenly Kid




Cliche-ridden 1985 comedy about a greaser who comes back from the dead to teach a young kid how to be cool. Featuring the mom from Malcolm In The Middle, the dad from Empty Nest, and possibly the most musical montages I've ever seen in a film.
