When the movie was released in one city in Australia, they found a local guy who had a ‘58 Plymouth Belvedere coupe in red and white (about as close to the film car Fury as possible), and while everyone was inside watching the premier, they got him to park it on the footpath outside, facing the front doors of the cinema so it was the first thing the viewers saw when they walked out.

@Thomas F According to an interview with the lead special effects guy, they used hydraulic rams to suck the car in on itself and then ran the film in reverse. Also interesting is the scene where Christine crushes Moochie Welch into the loading dock, he revealed that the front fenders for that car were made out of rubber.

Christine’s killing isn’t random. She kills the people who hurt Arnie or who threaten their love. Its one of the things that makes the book and movie interesting. At our core we can understand her emotion and reasoning even if steps she takes to protect herself and Arnie are too extreme. I mean who isn’t a little happy when the bully punks get their comuppens? We can relate to the characters arnie and christine. We both like them and fear them.

You are right Vernon. Christine only wanted to hurt people whom did not want to respect her as an old car, or hurt her. The important thing to remember is it took a little while, to make friends with Arnie, because she did not love Arnie back, for a short while. Also, what we have to remember about the rock 'n' roll era is, most of the fights with the Teddy Boys, with anyone else whom wasn't, were started by other cult music people, whom started a fight with them.

The reverse footage effects look really smooth and it works to perfection. Also, the continuity of the car damage and self repair scenes are perfect.

While I appreciate the effects, there are some continuity errors. The most noticeable one is the first time Arnie sees Christine repair herself. In the wide shot before the repair, although the car is smashed up, the grille is straight. In the close-up a few seconds later, the grille is completely smashed in before it repairs itself.

"Don't get any on the seats, she hates that." This deleted line by Arnie references the opening scene where the factory man flicked cigar ash on Christine's seat (rejecting her). Possibly a reference to LeBay's daughter too; she died in the car, choking to death, spewing and spluttering painfully. Think Leah at the drive-in, too. At any rate, Christine likes her interior clean, damnit. LOL

I felt "Christine" was a love story. A sick and twisted love story between Arnie & Christine. Arnie fell in love with Christine, at first sight. Christine reciprocated his love and protected Arnie. "Let me tell you a little something about love, Dennis. It has a voracious appetite. It eats everything. Friendship. Family. It kills me how much it eats. But I'll tell you something else. You feed it right, and it can be a beautiful thing, and that's what we have."

Here's a couple more fun facts. Christine was a Belvedere with the Fury trim package. Plymouth made the Fury it's own model a few years later. The engine in Christine was the 350 Golden Commando, Chryslers first big block wedge which evolved into the 361, 383, 413, 426, and 440. 58 Belvedere, Fury's were only available in Buckskin Beige, not red. The opening seen of the movie shows this. The 318 wide block with dual quads was also available in the Belvedere. At the time this movie was released, the Plymouth Fury was still available as a four door sedan, often used as police cars with the 360 V8.

I read Christine when it was released in paperback in late fall of 1983 when I was in high school. A unique thing about this Stephen King book is that it is written in three parts. The first and third part are told in the first person by Arnie’s friend Dennis. The second part of the book is written in the third person, which begins just after Dennis is seriously hurt in a football game, and ends up in the hospital, separated away from Arnie, his girlfriend Leigh, and of course, Christine. Christine might have had something to do with Dennis’s football injury, and the book switches back to the first person when Dennis leaves the hospital, and with the help of Leigh, they try to find out what happened to Arnie, and why he’s changed so much. I really liked John Carpenter’s movie adaptation of the book.

You probably wouldn't have seatbelts in a 58. My father's 57 Pontiac Star Chief has 2 lap belts in the front only but his 51 Kaiser and 58 Pontiac Bonneville don't have any. There's so much metal in those old cars, short of driving into building, you're probably pretty safe. The beginning scene where the guy gets his hand crushed in the hood always creeped me out because I know how heavy they are.

Hell, Dennis even addresses it within the story multiple times (as stated in the above comment). That scene in particular was pretty pivotal as it was pointed out in the book that they hadn't become targets of LeBay/Christine yet because up to that point neither of them had done anything unforgivable to Arnie.

This is more of a criticism of the critic. Books are not movie scripts. When making adaptations changes have to be made for a variety of reasons. I think the change for the movie was for the best. It changed the dynamics, but I don’t think it was a bad change. It made the movie and book different. I don’t think the Dennis/Leigh subplot would have worked in a 90 minute movie.

I think the deleted scene with Dennis and Leigh actually would have worked if Christine had rolled up behind them with the blacked out windows. Then when Dennis and Leigh notice Christine and turn around, Christine drives away slowly, leaving you wondering if Arnie was there or not.

i have never seen this movie ( and have no plans do so because im not into horror films ect. no reasons to give myself a fright or gory nightmares ) but i like old morpars so of course it comes up in my friend circles of mechanics/engineers. that and the jimmy dean's little basterd / France ferdnan dukes 1911 ride / unsolved mysteries i guess its kinda like listening to ghost / paranormal stories ( not that im into believing most of it because science / reasonable logic has the answers to it most of the time ) well id kinda agree with your statement. i may have had one of those cars but it was a Cadillac ( i got good at working on the same make and model but not always the same vin tag so this one car stands out as being different and difficult to deal with ironic that i got suck with the car/bills o well i guess in someways it's better than a paying costumers ride ps. btw more than 3 👨‍🔧 before / after me gave up tying to tame that one so glad i knew when to quit ) and a horsepower branded tractor that trying killing and maming more than once so which car line James if you don't mind me asking did you notice that are "possessed" and btw as someone down the line i got to know which ones someone cared about assembly /making it right and or had fun finding "innocent easter eggs 🥚" like the inside of my personal work trucks oe doors i guess some line workers autographed it in st. louse mo usa

Christine was another adaptation of a Stephen King novel like "The Shining" that differed in many ways from the book, but was a solid movie of its own.

Dennis tells us that she marries a chap who drives a Honda Civic, a nice safe car, and he is alone but moved away. He had, from time to time, tried to contact the inspector unsuccessfully, and his final comment regards an unusual incident that killed someone. The inspector? I cant recall. However, he closes wondering if Christine has come back and is moving across the country, killing all who opposed her. King may have been considering a sequel.

Even though you dislike the scene, the scene where Dennis and Leah make-out in Dennis's car only for Arnie to show up is actually in the book, but I feel King did an actual good job at showing an internal struggle of anger and care that Dennis has for Arnie, as well as guilt over his betrayal. I do think that it would be difficult to work those in the movie though, so maybe it was better that that scene was removed from the film adaptation.

I kept my eye on it for months and from what I remember it stayed there for well over a year before someone overseas brought it.

I still have the stills of the explosion as well as shots of the car, Carpenter and also, his director's chair (with Carpenter standing nearby talking to his AD.) Good times in Santa Clarita. Oh, here's another tidbit. The garage was built specifically for the movie. Back in 1982, it was an onion field. Now, it's a housing tract.

I saw _Christine_ at a theater in Casper, WY with my younger brother while at home from Uni of Wyo for the Xmas hols in '83. While watching it during the climatic scene (no spoilers)- about 15 minutes from the end - the *film sound went out in our theater* (and you're correct, the auditorium was relatively empty, but I was a die-hard King fan so had to see it!! Everyone waited a few moments, sort of looking around but still... no sound. Then, clever me got the bright idea to start making 'sound effects' for the vehicles and other things that were happening to liven up the theater a bit. Man did we have a ball! Everyone got into it after a few minutes! Everyone in the theater also got a free movie pass when we exited. That't one of my favorite memories of movie watching ever in my now 54 years.

That movie, for that show, was waaay more fun than it had any reason to be. And we can dig it!

SL, when I was young I did NOT read. My attitude was that if a story was worth telling, Hollywood would make a movie. Then my senior year in high school, I came home the night before Thanksgiving and was faced with a 4 day weekend. On the table was a paperback copy of CHRISTINE that my mother had just gotten and left because she had other books to finish first. I picked it up and read the review blurbs, then sat down with it at the table. I figured I'd read a page or two of the intro and never touch another filthy, dirty, germ-infested sheaf of papers ever again. I ended up finishing the introduction. I then stood up and went into the living room. I kicked off my shoes, turned on the end table lamp, and kicked back on the couch. I read a hundred pages that night. I read a hundred pages a day until I was done, finishing up Sunday evening about six thirty. Christine (and Stephen King) changed my life. I'd never known the power of the written word until that November night in 1983. Funny thing, I'd met King at a convention in Saint Louis the year before and gotten his autograph for my mother and sister who were both hardcore King fans. I hated the move when it was released the following month. It had little in common with the book. Today I look upon it as a fun popcorn movie. But I'd like to see a 6 hour 3 part mini-series made for HBO or even NETFLIX. And I'd like to see everyone die the way they died in the book.

She’s a woman in love with her man! She was jealous but that was the least of her motives, she primarily protects Arnie. Many women will risk life and limb for their man (not sure why since many aren’t worth putting their life on the line) or to have one especially considering the era she came from (late 50’s). She killed more people who weren’t romantic conflicts for her. She killed that gang of kids, she killed that Darnell at the garage, she killed that little girl years earlier.

Saw Christine just before or after New Years 1984, i went to PA. with my 2 younger nephews to visit my brother who was attending Penn State college, we decided to see this movie we never heard about. We left loving it and talked about it afterwards. Every noe abd then when im with either nephews or my brother we bring up watching Christine. Still one of my favorite horror movies. I can watch it from beginning to end without skipping anything. Never read the book and glad I didn't, I agree with you those cut scenes would have messed the movie up. I remember it didn't do well at the box office, no one I knew went to see, years later it became a classic. I've probably watched it 3 times a year since it came out on tape and I brought a DVD from a guy selling DVD illegally.

Wow. You are totally correct about that deleted scene with Leigh and Dennis kissing. Completely, utterly wrong for the movie. This is one of the best examples I have seen of a deleted scene whose omission was completely necessary. You are totally on point about how the scene completely changes the characters of Leigh and Dennis and undermines their heroism and compassion. Whoever chose to ommit it made an excellent choice.

Have to agree, and disagree with the video maker. The mass changes, taking it from an obsession/haunted car to the 'just effing evil car' idea totally changed the dynamic of the book, and to me showed the limitations of Carpenter as a filmmaker. Christine's written as a book about teenage rebellion still, about the unloved and shunned suddenly having the 'key' to power. But he still carries the hate, the anger, inside him. That's classic teenage angst, and would make a great movie in and of itself. And the subplot between Dennis and Leigh just add to it, and make the characters both imperfect, heroic, and relatable.

Speaking of Halloween and Christine being in the same universe: I used to think all these movies happened in my city or close to it as a child. You see, Close Encounters of the 3rd kind started in Muncie, Indiana. A city just about 40 minutes away from me. In Christine, the teens wore red letter jackets with a huge "R" on it. Just like the teens here! I really thought they were going to Richmond High School! I grew up scared as shit I was going to see a crazy killer car, an alien ship, or a crazed masked killer. Which in some ways was freaking awesome!

@Minty... - Great production but you missed the most important point, so here it is. Number 11: In the book, Christine was a 4-door sedan. I excitedly read the book when it was released in 1983 then rushed to see the movie when it debuted and was shocked to see that Christine was instead a sleek 2-door. This alone gave the book quite a darker perspective since there was nothing sexy or alluring about Arnie's bright and shiny, but still old, 4-door sedan version of Christine. Cheers from Thailand!

Okay, so you just blew my theory that King actually had one of his OWN ORIGINAL ideas of a movie. He has never created a scenario, he has only ever rewritten or stolen others’ concepts. Don’t get me wrong, I love his stories, but hate the fact that he can’t come up with his own idea. And if you don’t believe me and have seen a lot of his movies, then watch Twilight Zone. I’m holding out that Misery and The Dark Half might be his, but my betting money would go the other way.

To me it was more of a sad rather than a horror movie. Christine only went after those that abused her, Arney, or tried to separate them. I think that if the bullies didn't attack and shit on the dash that there wouldn't have been a movie. I wanted Christine, just think about it. You can drive to a place and the car would park herself. When you ready to leave the car would come and get you. Also on long trips you can sleep while the car drove. It would of been great.
