Visible crew/equipment: In the closeup shots of the soda cans shooting out, you can very clearly see the the two hoses which are making the sodas shoot out.

The movie was awesome.
More mistakes in Maximum Overdrive
News reporter: This frightening mechanical revolt appears to be occurring everywhere. New York, London, New Deli, Moscow, Peking, the reports - or reports we have - are all the same: machines apparently operating by themselves are under the direction of some agency we don't understand are going on a homicidal rampage. Some seem to be waking up more slowly than others. Only one thing is completely certain this morning, and that is: no machine is to be trusted. Unplug all the electrical appliances.
Trivia: The Dixie Boy Truck Stop was built strictly for the movie, and was not a functional stop. However, there were so many real truckers trying to pull in, that the film crew had to put up signs directing them not to stop by. After the filming, people got together and revamped it into a working place and tourist attraction, but closed it after a few months of bad business.
Question: One of the early posters of this film shows a bearded guy (who is not in the film) coming through a wall crack and holding puppet strings with one hand. Who is this guy supposed to be and what does he represent?
Answer: It is Stephen King.
Chosen answer: He does bear a striking resemblance to Stephen King. King was both the writer and director of this movie, and as such, was certainly the guy in charge of all the character's fates and pulling all the strings.
