@@dcocz3908 The think the Car moved the seat forward. When you see the part were Darnell, sits behind the steering wheel. Christian moves the seat forward to crush Him, as She did with the black man.
Nameless Hero: I read the original Furies only came in one color so I'm guessing she was already ordered and paid for. You wanted red, blue or any other color it had to be pre-ordered.
The 1958 Plymouth Fury came in Buckskin Beige unless you preordered it or made it a special order. Christine was paid for in advance and ordered in Autumn Red...

That was something that struck me when I watched the movie. It seems beautiful to all of us, but everyone in the movie (based in 1978-79) besides the guy who buys it says it's an awful choice. Do they sense the evil in the car or did people in the late 70s just have REALLY bad taste?
Meg Spitzer That’s weird. It kind of reminds me of how the Jaws book came out a year before the movie, and the second Jaws book came out the same year as the movie.
@@makoshark6609 Richard Adams never felt that way when he published Watership Down and The Plague Dogs (which came out in 1972 and 1977 respectively, 6 and 5 years before each of their film adaptations came out, both in 1978 and 1982 respectively)
You know when a sound effect in an old movie has that weird pitchy sound like the car horn, it's because the sound effect was taken from a vinyl record of stock sounds.
They used about twenty three cars to make this film and about fifteen to create this scene but because the cars were so rare whet you are actually seeing here is a line of rust buckets painted up to look new. They were all used in destruction scenes later and only two or three survived.
I used to work at the Chrysler assembly plant and not kidding they showed us that moment at 1:06 at our week long orientation as to what not to do on the line and that's also why we work with partners to make sure that doesn't happen.
2:22 Not sure anyone noticed, but the supervisor that finds the inspector Christine crushed, looks like a younger version of Darnell. As if that's not enough Darnell mentions knowing someone who owned a car like her. So gonna take a wild guess and say Darnell was working at that Plymouth factory.
Not true Darnell knew Roland Lebay, the man who sells Arnie Christine, from when decades earlier, Lebay brought Christine into his garage to do his own service work on "her." This is also in the book.
@@Your2TiminEx It was only George LeBay in the movie. In the book, it's Roland LeBay who sells Christine to Arnie, and George LeBay is Roland's brother. Roland in the book is pretty much as you see George portrayed in the movie, but you learn considerably more about him in the book as an extremely angry, bitter, vengeful man. Will Darnell said of him in the book, "If you gave him boiling hot coffee, he'd piss ice cubes." George LeBay, on the other hand, is very different, a kindly schoolteacher who was ashamed and even a little afraid of his older brother, Roland. I honestly don't understand why Bill Phillips changed it to George, and the movie left me mostly disappointed because I love the book so much because the character development of both Dennis and Arnie was severely lacking, and because it was portrayed as Arnie actually driving the car at the end, instead of the dead spirit of Roland the entire time, including the final confrontation in Darnell's garage. The only scene that I really liked (also completely different from the book for exactly which ones were killed and how, though) was the killing of Buddy Repperton and Don Vandenberg.
Did anyone else notice that that Camaro was just a shell of a car in the Buddy Reperton scene at the gas station? Notice it doesn't have a engine or even a firewall
Love this movie. When I was little I would always stay home when my family went out because I was afraid of all cars because of this movie, I taught that everyone's car is a Christine. I will never get in a car or take the bus I always walked until I got older lol but still you never know if your car or anyone else's car is a Christine 😁🤘
Still my favorite car of all time. Sure the movie helped, but it is extremely rare and is truly a beautiful car. Many hours of only manpower to build that beast
"I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be you're gonna give your love to me" she was telling the black guy to love her but the black guy disrespected her by dropping his cigar ash on her that's why she killed him
Crhistine is a girl. First you fall in love by her beauty,, and sitting in the driver's seat it's like kissing her lips. For Christine, that's the point where you are captured. That's what happened to Roland Lebay, and after to Arnie...
@@vincenthewitt6919 Christine doesn't kill anyone for fun she wants someone to love her and no one else she gets terribly jealous that's why she almost killed Leigh and she will kill anyone who disrespects her that's why she killed the black guy, Darnell and the gang of punks
Fun fact:my dad told me when he first watched it,at the ending when the car gets trashed and they throw it down,after a while the radio turned on and the car rebuild itself
That was what the final scene hints at. As they walk away, they hear a song that Christine would play, but it’s just a worker with a boom box and they walk away. The camera zooms in on the crushed block that used to be Christine and you can see the metal start to move, indicating that Christine ain’t dead yet. While it would be unlikely that Christine would have enough time to restore herself before she is melted down, there is a chance that her spirit could possess whatever is made out that batch of molten metal, maybe even anther car.
When this film came out, my mom had a '78 Plymouth Fury, same color as Christine. OF COURSE we kids called mom's car Christine! 😂 Green turned out to be an unlucky car color for mom. No people injured, but one green car was crushed by a tree falling on it in a wind storm, and the other kept breaking down.
The reason why Christine was the only red model on the assembly line is because of a process of Unusable Parts. This would happen if a assembly plant used too many certain body panels(in this case white) so they used spare parts which were usually blue, tan, or red, red was the rarest of spare parts used. After a assembly makes a car or two in spare parts, they use white parts again that have recently been imported. This was not very rare back in the day for small automotive companies like Plymouth.
@Samuel Molloy exactly what I was thinking. None of what he said made any sense at all. U useable parts being used? And they don't paint the panels first lol. Why do people just make stuff up out of thin air like that?
@@testy462 YEAH, I'm calling BULLSHIT on that comment too, every one of these 58 s I see at car shows is Red and if anything, red was the most common color for all American cars
Leonard Halbert the Plymouth Fury was not available in Red, only white with gold trim. 99.9% of the Christines you see at shows, on TV or other places are Savoys made up to look like Christine. They made 3000 Furys in 58 and not many were left by the time this film came out and even less are around 40 years later. They were a limited edition car and only available in one color, white. It’s the equivalent of going to your local Dairy Queen car show and seeing 20 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Demons. I guarantee that most, if not all of them are fakes.
@@CamaroAmx it was not white, it was Buckskin Beige. Read the color history from Chrysler and it will tell what colors were available for the cars from all of their division (Imperial, Chrysler, Dodge, Desoto and Plymouth).
My theory of what Christina might look like as a human. beautiful long hair dyed white - Plymouth roof. Beautiful long red scarlet Plymouth body dress. Long, tight-fitting white gloves with a silver stripe on the side of Plymouth. and white high heels with Plymouth wheels and tires. I can also assume that she has either light or dark eyes - Depends on the tint of the Plymouth.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're wrong. Darnell's association with Christine actually comes in 1958, but only when "her" owner, Roland Lebay, begins bringing "her" into Darnell's garage to perform service work on the car himself. That's also how Darnell first recognizes the car when Arnie shows up there with "her." This is not speculation, as all of it is mentioned in the book. Also, Darnell's death in the book is much more spectacular than in the movie, with Christine ramming into his house and running him down right there in his own living room! Not kidding about that.
Shakah Zoulou I feel like it’s a little off, because it’s a song that came out in 1982, and this scene takes place in 1957, but it’s still a good song though.
São altomoveis sensacional . Si eu tivesse grana concerteza comprava um desses e restauraria ele por completo. Maguinificos carros esbanja classe e luxo e muito conforto.
I fell in love with this movie a long time ago. Christine is like a woman. Classy, in her red dress, shes got the lipstick to match. She just wants to be loved broken or put together. Doesnt need a man who mistreats her either.
I have it on vhs😲 ANd dvd. We all luv Christine!!! Thanks for this & all clips. "Show me" scene, is not only in top 3. BADASS!! A guy who has Christine clone. He was offered 4 million dollars for it. He would Not sell her.
From the movie trivia: Horror fans have speculated the unnamed assembly line supervisor who discovered Christine's second victim, and first fatality, was Will Darnell. This is based on the actor appearing about twenty years younger (than actor Robert Prosky), his semi retired automotive background, and Will saying he once knew the owner of a Fury, upon seeing Christine.
Such a good movie, she was a custom order that's why she was red on red back in the day when you custom order a car or what was called a "walk through" My Grandmother had a Fury was a '58 that she ordered Black on White and, from she told me, they would have you come to the plant to make sure everything was made to your liking. Those vehicles got extra attention, people paid extra for those. You can't do that today, you get what you get and pay painters and upholstery people afterwards, the company can't be bothered with your whims.
1:13 Remember kids, always make sure to secure your car’s engine hood in the open position after opening it and before working on it, and never put your fingers in places where it could clamp down on! This has been a workplace health and safety PSA.
This classic song was so appropriate for such a temperamental demon car such as Christine. Imagine, a line worker putting his hand where it shouldn't be. Up her chassis without permission from the goddess of carnage. It takes a special hand to calm her overdriven gears to allow such.... intimacy. John Carpenter gave us what we all crave. A vehicle capable of making our twisted dreams come true as she runs down her opponents without mercy or remorse. Infinitely a much better choice of vehicle to display the stamp of approval for real car connoisseurs. Whoever drains her oil, better watch how they use the dipstick otherwise, Christine might not be so forgiving as to who changes her lubrication.
I first saw "Christine" on HBO in January of 1986. The thing that I'm most fond of with Christine is the odometer that runs backwards, and generates a rejuvenating power. Last year, I had to have a knee replacement in my starboard knee. Two weeks before the surgery, I took a road trip to Atlanta from Charlotte. If I had been able to take that road trip in Christine, the odometer would have rejuvenated my starboard knee. I wouldn't have had to have the surgery. I also have some iconic dining chairs that I really cherish, they are Early American mate's chairs, distinctive for their guitar shaped seats. Mate's chairs are the original Pizza Hut chairs, and are today hard to come by. Four times a year, I would like to put those chairs in Christine, and make a run down to Columbia and back on I-77. It would be preventive maintenance for the chairs. Some dinner guests I have over are not as kind to the chairs. They might lean back on two legs, push them out from under the table with all of their weight on them, or slouch down in them. Those are three common things that are bad for those chairs. If any of them got their spindles broken, it would definitely be a rejuvenating job for Christine.
The more I watch this movie, the more it becomes a thriller/romance. Christine is a shiny beautiful car. It just hurts me to see how everyone else mistreats her.
in the minute 2:05 you can see that the black man was still alive, when the bell rings and the workers leave, there it recently kills him. I always believed that he was already dead before the bell rings haha is very cunning Christine.
@Michael Shaw He had a clipboard so he was a supervisor. Probalby filling out an accident report for the injured guy and went into Christine to get a VIN number or something
I made this the inspiration for The Dixie Limousine. It's about a group of college students and an old mechanic tries to stop an old 1980 Oldsmobile Regency that has been causing chaos in the Midwest. Events. 1980: The limo is made, a workers fingers get crushed, a supervisor almost got killed by CO2 poisoning. 1981: The limo causes a 10-car pile-up in Phoenix. 1982: Makenzie's brother Bob modifies it for off-road use but dies when it crashes into a freeway. 1983: The limo crashes into a red Plymouth Fury. (Hence, it regenerates after crashes) 1984: A RadioShack shop is set on fire with the limo remaining intact. 1985: Makenzie starts his repair shop. 1986: The limo kills 2 of Makenzie's friends who didn't pay the fair and leaving him with leg Braches. 1987: Andy, the oldest in the group is born along with Ruby, Claire, and Charles. 1988: Randy and Lindsey are born in Ireland and move to Arizona the following week. 1989: The factory that the limo was made in burns down. 1990: Ivan is born in Belarus and moves to the USA. 1991: The Junji residence is built. 1992: Makenzie's shop burns down and is rebuilt. 1993: Claire moves from Canada. 1994: The Louis residence is built. 1995: Andy meets Makenzie. 1996: Makenzie's shop is brought by CJ Auto Repairs. 1997: Ruby gets a job at Makenzie's shop. 1998: Ivan's brother Alexi is born. 1999: The limo causes a crash in Wyoming. 2001: Ivan's family moves to Utah following September 11th. 2009: The group goes to college. 2011: Makenzie sees the limo regenerating after teens vandalize it on New Years. 2012: The same teens who vandalized the limo dies after the limo pushes them off a canyon cliff. 2013: The Limo ends up in Andy's garage, and is destroyed by the group, Sheriff Barns, deputies, and townsfolk after trapping it on a cliff.
And Makenzie has a 1958 Plymouth Fury, a Lincoln Continental Mark III, 1955 Porche Spyder, 1910 Graf and Stift, 2 1963 VW Beetles and a 1976 Lancia Scorpion ,4th generation Chevrolet Nova and Corvette 706, 1968 Lincoln Continental, Dodge M4S, 1982 DMC Delorian, and a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu in his shop. (Famous movie, haunted, and cursed cars) Songs the Limo plays: Pleading My Love, Dixieland (both versions), Sweet Home Alabama, Johnny B Goode, Maybe, I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, Buchter Pete, Bad to the Bone, and Not Fade Away.
I love how within seconds you know Christine is evil with the choice of song (Bad to the Bone) and the fact that she's the only red car on the assembly line.
Im an Aussie but American cars are the best. Worked on everything but old American cars are not only beautiful but they're cheap to repair and easy to work on and to easy to make huge power from. German crap sucks just like the idiots that drive them.
Oy, there where nice cars in other countries as well. Everyone has different tastes and likes. It would have been boring if there was only one country that produced nice cars. My favourite car of all time will always be the Volkswagen Beetle because it looks cute, i know i am quite childish in such things but i don't care, and because of other reasons which would take to long to explain here. But i love a lot of cars from the whole world, so that nobody misunderstands me. Christine is an epic looking car, especially her since she is red and red is my favourite colour (even though i love every other colour as well). Sorry if i sounded rude and please excuse my grammar. English is not my mother language.
The best cars? Montrous engines and good equipment but technically not. Also the build quality was never that good. The gap mass on every mustang ive seen sucks compared to every german craftet car.
@@Jobanivrodnachui YEAH, gaps were pretty huge on most American cars, I've got some of the better old ones ( BUICKS) and even they have BIG seams, gaps, windows can rattle when idiots grab the door by the glass and the seats in most later 60s 70s cars are not too comfortable (MUSCLE car seats) but American cars were still by far the most " bang for the buck " and many of the under 4K $ back then are worth stupid money now
I saw this movie cover in the horror section of my local video rental store but never got it out, though the story intrigued me. Fast forward many years and I found a VHS of this dumped on the kerb with a couple of others and thought why not. It sat at home gathering dust for a while before Is decided to load it into the VCR. I was so taken I watched it twice in a short period. I have since acquired it on DVD and haven't seen it that way yet. I actually want to play my VHS copy again. It brings me back to happy days renting VHS.

You know when a sound effect in an old movie has that weird pitchy sound like the car horn, it's because the sound effect was taken from a vinyl record of stock sounds.
That's good to know! I was just wondering why that is.
My Dad always told me if you look after a car, it'll look after you. Then I saw this film when I was a kid. Life lesson learned
Unless it’s a Ford
The actress who plays Arnie's mother is "Christine" Belford, popular character actress in many TV shows and films in 70's and 80's
Shes Hot.
Silver spoons
Daaaaaayyyyng! How coincidental
She was also in several episodes on 90210
She killed him because he ashed on her seat
But it was covered
But the cigarette was "On"
How tho

Thanks captain obvious
I Like Christine and who Thinks she is a Beauty?
Yeah. Definitely.
Trabant is much prettier
Me
They built very good cars at Chrysler back then.
Mee
Best opening scene ever! Tells you everything you need to know about the car b fore the actual story begins
The dude who was smoking the cigarette went in Christine she was like:
GET OUTTA HERE BOI!
I guess he tolerates smokers as much as i do.
Especially when they blow smoke right into your face@@turbiprop5961
The other Fury: Do ya hate smokin'?
Christine: Yes.
Well the first line of the lyrics from the song that was playing was, "I'm going to tell you how it's gonna be."
They used about twenty three cars to make this film and about fifteen to create this scene but because the cars were so rare whet you are actually seeing here is a line of rust buckets painted up to look new. They were all used in destruction scenes later and only two or three survived.
😂😂😂
@Melvin Big Smoke Harris I didn't even notice that!
That and the drivers door I’m dented on the bottom chrome piece
17 cars were used and 15 destroyed. Get your facts right.
Likes Dukes of Hazzard with chargers
I used to work at the Chrysler assembly plant and not kidding they showed us that moment at 1:06 at our week long orientation as to what not to do on the line and that's also why we work with partners to make sure that doesn't happen.
So did anybody get taken out by a christine
@@mrswimmytanker7422 OFFICIALLY No one has ever died at the plant OFFICIALLY
2:22 Not sure anyone noticed, but the supervisor that finds the inspector Christine crushed, looks like a younger version of Darnell. As if that's not enough Darnell mentions knowing someone who owned a car like her. So gonna take a wild guess and say Darnell was working at that Plymouth factory.
Not true
Darnell knew Roland Lebay, the man who sells Arnie Christine, from when decades earlier, Lebay brought Christine into his garage to do his own service work on "her."
This is also in the book.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I thought it was George Lebay who sold Christine to Arnie
@@Your2TiminEx It was only George LeBay in the movie.
In the book, it's Roland LeBay who sells Christine to Arnie, and George LeBay is Roland's brother.
Roland in the book is pretty much as you see George portrayed in the movie, but you learn considerably more about him in the book as an extremely angry, bitter, vengeful man.
Will Darnell said of him in the book, "If you gave him boiling hot coffee, he'd piss ice cubes."
George LeBay, on the other hand, is very different, a kindly schoolteacher who was ashamed and even a little afraid of his older brother, Roland.
I honestly don't understand why Bill Phillips changed it to George, and the movie left me mostly disappointed because I love the book so much because the character development of both Dennis and Arnie was severely lacking, and because it was portrayed as Arnie actually driving the car at the end, instead of the dead spirit of Roland the entire time, including the final confrontation in Darnell's garage.
The only scene that I really liked (also completely different from the book for exactly which ones were killed and how, though) was the killing of Buddy Repperton and Don Vandenberg.
I feel the same way as Shanethefilmmaker that guy does look an awful lot like a younger Darnell.
That was always my headcanon.
Christine is art on wheels!!!
Cars back then we're built for power and good looks, not for safety and fuel efficiency.
Did anyone else notice that that Camaro was just a shell of a car in the Buddy Reperton scene at the gas station? Notice it doesn't have a engine or even a firewall
I'm almost positive the Camaro frame doesn't bend like a empty beer can
One of the sexiest classics ever made
Christine's a beautiful work of art! The 67' Camero is pretty sharp too!
That little "oh damn" spring in his step when he sees Christine. That feeling is magic.
Love this movie. When I was little I would always stay home when my family went out because I was afraid of all cars because of this movie, I taught that everyone's car is a Christine. I will never get in a car or take the bus I always walked until I got older lol but still you never know if your car or anyone else's car is a Christine 😁🤘
Come on
Thats a bit weird paranoia but I can kinda see how that might develop lol
Still my favorite car of all time. Sure the movie helped, but it is extremely rare and is truly a beautiful car. Many hours of only manpower to build that beast
Cars got good taste in music.
As much as I'm a metal fan, I do enjoy a Buddy Holly tune.
You think that's a good Buddy Holly song? Check out Buddy Holly's version of Ready Teddy
"I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be you're gonna give your love to me" she was telling the black guy to love her but the black guy disrespected her by dropping his cigar ash on her that's why she killed him
Crhistine is a girl. First you fall in love by her beauty,, and sitting in the driver's seat it's like kissing her lips. For Christine, that's the point where you are captured. That's what happened to Roland Lebay, and after to Arnie...
@@vincenthewitt6919 Christine doesn't kill anyone for fun she wants someone to love her and no one else she gets terribly jealous that's why she almost killed Leigh and she will kill anyone who disrespects her that's why she killed the black guy, Darnell and the gang of punks
Guess Christine isn't a fan of black guys.
I took me a while to actually listen to the words,and now I know what she was saying
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 😂😂😂😂
" I need your cloths, your keys, and your soul...NOW!"
Weird theory but what if the man who finds the dead guy in the car is darnell when he was younger he has that same walk and look
More like similarity of their faces, but he also reminded me of Darnell.
He is,I think
And then retired and moved to California
Darnell later comments that he knew a guy who had a red Fury and that guy was a real mean SOB.
Fun fact:my dad told me when he first watched it,at the ending when the car gets trashed and they throw it down,after a while the radio turned on and the car rebuild itself
That was what the final scene hints at. As they walk away, they hear a song that Christine would play, but it’s just a worker with a boom box and they walk away. The camera zooms in on the crushed block that used to be Christine and you can see the metal start to move, indicating that Christine ain’t dead yet. While it would be unlikely that Christine would have enough time to restore herself before she is melted down, there is a chance that her spirit could possess whatever is made out that batch of molten metal, maybe even anther car.
@@CamaroAmx What if Christine wound up in the same junkyard as the green goblin toy truck from Maximum Overdrive...
When this film came out, my mom had a '78 Plymouth Fury, same color as Christine. OF COURSE we kids called mom's car Christine! 😂 Green turned out to be an unlucky car color for mom. No people injured, but one green car was crushed by a tree falling on it in a wind storm, and the other kept breaking down.

I love this movie. I have it on DVD!
I have it on Blu-Ray 4K
lucky man..
I've noticed it's like Christine can literally draw people in to her shear beauty. God I love this movie we need a part 2 or a remake.
Also. I think the colored guy was going to be her first choice of "Love" before he ducked ashes in her seat
Agreed
No no no ffs no remakes, they'll ruin it as they always do
Recycled into a stack of 1950's appliances that kill their households in creative and gruesome ways ?
I bet Steven King could have fun with that.
I would love to see a remake with another plymouth....a plymouth prowler!!
The reason why Christine was the only red model on the assembly line is because of a process of Unusable Parts. This would happen if a assembly plant used too many certain body panels(in this case white) so they used spare parts which were usually blue, tan, or red, red was the rarest of spare parts used. After a assembly makes a car or two in spare parts, they use white parts again that have recently been imported. This was not very rare back in the day for small automotive companies like Plymouth.
Actually it was explained in the book that when Roland ordered her, he asked them to paint it Autumn Red. He probably had enough dough to do that.
@Samuel Molloy exactly what I was thinking. None of what he said made any sense at all. U useable parts being used? And they don't paint the panels first lol.
Why do people just make stuff up out of thin air like that?
@@testy462 YEAH, I'm calling BULLSHIT on that comment too, every one of these 58 s I see at car shows is Red and if anything, red was the most common color for all American cars
Leonard Halbert the Plymouth Fury was not available in Red, only white with gold trim. 99.9% of the Christines you see at shows, on TV or other places are Savoys made up to look like Christine. They made 3000 Furys in 58 and not many were left by the time this film came out and even less are around 40 years later. They were a limited edition car and only available in one color, white.
It’s the equivalent of going to your local Dairy Queen car show and seeing 20 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Demons. I guarantee that most, if not all of them are fakes.
@@CamaroAmx it was not white, it was Buckskin Beige. Read the color history from Chrysler and it will tell what colors were available for the cars from all of their division (Imperial, Chrysler, Dodge, Desoto and Plymouth).
Had a 68 sport fery.loved it.Always wanted a 57. The start of the wings.Beautiful car.
My theory of what Christina might look like as a human.
beautiful long hair dyed white - Plymouth roof. Beautiful long red scarlet Plymouth body dress.
Long, tight-fitting white gloves with a silver stripe on the side of Plymouth.
and white high heels with Plymouth wheels and tires.
I can also assume that she has either light or dark eyes - Depends on the tint of the Plymouth.
Christine is the only red car which means she is devil car :D all other beige color cars are angels :D
@Prius facebook mom The red paint job was a custom order from Lebay. That is why I am the only red Fury.
@@christinefury6587 I love you
She was a custom order nothing more
Nick 007 I had a feeling.

Is it just me or does that look like a younger Darnell??
I was always thinking that
It is
omg you're right
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're wrong.
Darnell's association with Christine actually comes in 1958, but only when "her" owner, Roland Lebay, begins bringing "her" into Darnell's garage to perform service work on the car himself.
That's also how Darnell first recognizes the car when Arnie shows up there with "her."
This is not speculation, as all of it is mentioned in the book.
Also, Darnell's death in the book is much more spectacular than in the movie, with Christine ramming into his house and running him down right there in his own living room!
Not kidding about that.
1:19 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Angelina on the job😂
If "Jaws" wasn't a great white shark, it'd be a red 1958 Plymouth mowing people down on the streets.

I fell in love with this movie a long time ago.
Christine is like a woman. Classy, in her red dress, shes got the lipstick to match. She just wants to be loved broken or put together. Doesnt need a man who mistreats her either.
I have it on vhs😲 ANd dvd. We all luv Christine!!! Thanks for this & all clips. "Show me" scene, is not only in top 3. BADASS!! A guy who has Christine clone. He was offered 4 million dollars for it. He would Not sell her.
When that dudes hand got crushed gives me the shivers it traumatized me about car hoods closing on my hand
Its even worse for me cause I want to be a car mechanic
1:16 *NOM*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
I guess Christine ain't having it today
The way the hood comes down, I’d expect he would of lost his hand, not just mangle it.
From the movie trivia: Horror fans have speculated the unnamed assembly line supervisor who discovered Christine's second victim, and first fatality, was Will Darnell. This is based on the actor appearing about twenty years younger (than actor Robert Prosky), his semi retired automotive background, and Will saying he once knew the owner of a Fury, upon seeing Christine.
Such a good movie, she was a custom order that's why she was red on red back in the day when you custom order a car or what was called a "walk through" My Grandmother had a Fury was a '58 that she ordered Black on White and, from she told me, they would have you come to the plant to make sure everything was made to your liking. Those vehicles got extra attention, people paid extra for those. You can't do that today, you get what you get and pay painters and upholstery people afterwards, the company can't be bothered with your whims.
Bad to the bone. Love that song 🕶️🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥
That song at the start is actually fire!
Good times never come back
Back when vehicles were made to last and built tough
Great movie. I saw it in grade school. Everyone I knew saw it also. We were all walking around saying lines from it for days.

Remember kids, always make sure to secure your car’s engine hood in the open position after opening it and before working on it, and never put your fingers in places where it could clamp down on!
This has been a workplace health and safety PSA.
"Jump in my car!" On second thought, don't.
Hardest thing to believe in this movie is that UAW workers ever worked a full day til 5 o’clock.
This classic song was so appropriate for such a temperamental demon car such as Christine. Imagine, a line worker putting his hand where it shouldn't be. Up her chassis without permission from the goddess of carnage. It takes a special hand to calm her overdriven gears to allow such.... intimacy. John Carpenter gave us what we all crave. A vehicle capable of making our twisted dreams come true as she runs down her opponents without mercy or remorse. Infinitely a much better choice of vehicle to display the stamp of approval for real car connoisseurs. Whoever drains her oil, better watch how they use the dipstick otherwise, Christine might not be so forgiving as to who changes her lubrication.
That red plymouth is a killer machine
I first saw "Christine" on HBO in January of 1986. The thing that I'm most fond of with Christine is the odometer that runs backwards, and generates a rejuvenating power. Last year, I had to have a knee replacement in my starboard knee. Two weeks before the surgery, I took a road trip to Atlanta from Charlotte. If I had been able to take that road trip in Christine, the odometer would have rejuvenated my starboard knee. I wouldn't have had to have the surgery.
I also have some iconic dining chairs that I really cherish, they are Early American mate's chairs, distinctive for their guitar shaped seats. Mate's chairs are the original Pizza Hut chairs, and are today hard to come by. Four times a year, I would like to put those chairs in Christine, and make a run down to Columbia and back on I-77. It would be preventive maintenance for the chairs. Some dinner guests I have over are not as kind to the chairs. They might lean back on two legs, push them out from under the table with all of their weight on them, or slouch down in them. Those are three common things that are bad for those chairs. If any of them got their spindles broken, it would definitely be a rejuvenating job for Christine.
How old are you know not to be rude
The more I watch this movie, the more it becomes a thriller/romance.
Christine is a shiny beautiful car.
It just hurts me to see how everyone else mistreats her.
1:15 Christine: Welp I hope you enjoyed the look . . .
in the minute 2:05 you can see that the black man was still alive, when the bell rings and the workers leave, there it recently kills him. I always believed that he was already dead before the bell rings haha is very cunning Christine.
They were anxious to leave the factory.
Orrrrrrr... the guy was just slacking off and played dead so he wouldn't get sacked
@@boop-oop-a-doop9293 In that case he was very convincing.
This clip is missing a scene it shows his death in the movie
@Michael Shaw He had a clipboard so he was a supervisor. Probalby filling out an accident report for the injured guy and went into Christine to get a VIN number or something
Christian is my favorite movie of all time.
What do we learn here? Smoking kills! Haha
Yo I got the full christine movie from Google play
And not to look up a car’s skirt because the next thing you know it goes on a killing spree.
Cars sure were beautiful machines back then.
I made this the inspiration for The Dixie Limousine.
It's about a group of college students and an old mechanic tries to stop an old 1980 Oldsmobile Regency that has been causing chaos in the Midwest.

1985: Makenzie starts his repair shop.
1986: The limo kills 2 of Makenzie's friends who didn't pay the fair and leaving him with leg Braches.

(Famous movie, haunted, and cursed cars)
Songs the Limo plays: Pleading My Love, Dixieland (both versions), Sweet Home Alabama, Johnny B Goode, Maybe, I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, Buchter Pete, Bad to the Bone, and Not Fade Away.
Satan has a good taste in cars i see.
I love how within seconds you know Christine is evil with the choice of song (Bad to the Bone) and the fact that she's the only red car on the assembly line.
That's what you get for looking under her skirt 😂😂

When America made the best cars in the world and was a third of the entire worlds gdp
Im an Aussie but American cars are the best. Worked on everything but old American cars are not only beautiful but they're cheap to repair and easy to work on and to easy to make huge power from. German crap sucks just like the idiots that drive them.
@@petergoodwin2465 I agree with you on the first part. Old school German engineering rocks, old E30 3 series and e34 5 series are great examples.
Oy, there where nice cars in other countries as well. Everyone has different tastes and likes. It would have been boring if there was only one country that produced nice cars.
My favourite car of all time will always be the Volkswagen Beetle because it looks cute, i know i am quite childish in such things but i don't care, and because of other reasons which would take to long to explain here.
But i love a lot of cars from the whole world, so that nobody misunderstands me. Christine is an epic looking car, especially her since she is red and red is my favourite colour (even though i love every other colour as well).
Sorry if i sounded rude and please excuse my grammar. English is not my mother language.
The best cars?
Montrous engines and good equipment but technically not.
Also the build quality was never that good.
The gap mass on every mustang ive seen sucks compared to every german craftet car.
@@Jobanivrodnachui YEAH, gaps were pretty huge on most American cars, I've got some of the better old ones ( BUICKS) and even they have BIG seams, gaps, windows can rattle when idiots grab the door by the glass and the seats in most later 60s 70s cars are not too comfortable (MUSCLE car seats) but American cars were still by far the most " bang for the buck " and many of the under 4K $ back then are worth stupid money now
I love that car 😍 sooooooo much

I saw this movie cover in the horror section of my local video rental store but never got it out, though the story intrigued me.
Fast forward many years and I found a VHS of this dumped on the kerb with a couple of others and thought why not.
It sat at home gathering dust for a while before Is decided to load it into the VCR. I was so taken I watched it twice in a short period.
I have since acquired it on DVD and haven't seen it that way yet.
I actually want to play my VHS copy again. It brings me back to happy days renting VHS.
