Factual error: The mounted machine gun fires far too many shots for the limited supply of ammo it has in the box attached to it.

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.
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.
