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.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Stephen King
Starring: Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Yeardley Smith, Laura Harrington
The group of people managed to get out of the Dixieboy Truck stop, apart from the Bible sales man and Duncan. (Duncan got run over by a truck and so did the Bible sales man.) They run towards the harbour to get a boat, without a motor or microchip. They get there and get on the boat. One of the group strays away to prise a nice ring off a dead woman's finger as she was crushed by a stray car. He gets run over by the same truck that killed the Bible sales man and Joe. Bill jumps out and blasts it with a rocket launcher. They sail away to the island they know has no cars, trucks or motors. It says at the very end that the survivors of the Dixie boy are still survivors.
As the boat sails away, a summary card appears (in the same manner the intro card appears) that states "Two days later, a large UFO was destroyed in space by a Russian "weather satellite," which happened to be equipped with a laser cannon and class IV nuclear missiles. Approximately six days later, the Earth passed beyond the tail of Rhea-M, exactly as predicted."
