Stephen King's Trucks (1997)

A decade after Stephen King's own adaptation, Maximum Overdrive, failed with critics, someone thought a made-for-television version would be the way to go. They were wrong. While more faithful to King's short story, it's not nearly as fun.

Trucks (1997) Trucks come to life and terrorize a small group of people holding out at a local diner/gas station.

Speed Racer (2008) A glorious visual overload.

With Speed Racer, The Wachowskis didn’t make a racing movie; they made a live-action cartoon that feels like a sugar rush, and I’m still impressed they got it past a studio without someone pulling the plug out of sheer confusion.

Every race is a kaleidoscope of motion and colour, like a Hot Wheels track designed by someone who hasn’t slept in three days, and I mean that as a compliment. This movie is visually insane!

I re-watched this via the new 4K release, which turns every frame into eye candy that borders on ridiculous. If you’re even slightly on this film’s wavelength, this disc is basically demo material for your TV and a reminder that sometimes excess is the whole point.

Super Hybrid (2010) A hilariously confused killer car movie.

I love the "Killer Car" genre, whether they be good like the 1977 classic The Car or, as in the case with Super Hybrid, we get an entry that is gloriously dumb, with a villain that is half muscle car, half calamari, but still entertaining. If you are like me.

Super Hybrid (2010) A group of mechanics at an impound lot have to fend off the feeding habits of a shapeshifting killer car.

In the midst of the post-Star Wars boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hollywood found itself flooded with science fiction properties attempting to ride the lucrative wave of space-themed entertainment. Enter Stewart Raffill's Ice Pirates!

With a meagre $8 million budget, this film pits Robert Urich, Anglica Huston, Ron Perlman, and Mary Crosby against an evil interstellar monopoly. It’s messy, crude, often nonsensical, but undeniably unique

Ice Pirates (1984) In a distant future that is scarce of water, space pirates get caught after stealing ice from a spaceship. They are sold to a princess looking for her dad. He might have found a planet abundant with water

I just finished watching 1980s Hawk the Slayer and was baffled by the film's aggressively terrible synthesizer score. What other films have music that doesn't even remotely fit what is on screen?

Jim Wynorski’s The Lost Empire is nonsensical, over-the-top, and gloriously sleazy. Something you’d find on Softcore Cinemax at 2 AM. It's also got Angus Scrimm as an evil cult leader, and that's never a bad thing.

The Lost Empire (1984) Three women infiltrate a cult to stop an undead wizard.
